Michigan’s Top Rated Local® Fitness Centers Award Winner: Beer City Barre

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Beer City Barre is an award winner for fitness centers in 2019.

If you are looking for a fitness center who will encourage you to do and be your best, look no further than this award-winning company!

Beer City Barre has received many overwhelmingly positive reviews across a variety of verified sites with an average rating of 5.00 stars, earning them an incredible Rating Score™ of 98.00 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking in the top five fitness centers in all of Michigan!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I should have written this review months ago, but I’ve had trouble coming up with words that will do justice to the incredible impact this studio, its instructors, and my fellow students have had on me. I was lucky enough to learn about BCB just as it opened, and I have been going to class almost every weekday since! I’ve never been a workout junkie, but now my day just isn’t the same without my barre fix!…Each instructor brings a unique personality and I love that classes are offered in such a way that I get to work with each of them. The BCB instructors are positive and excited about what they do. I trust their expertise and I love their willingness to answer my questions and correct my posture and positioning when I’m not doing something correctly. Safety is clearly a priority, having fun and growing stronger – physically and mentally – are obviously of equal importance. I have never left a class feeling like I wasn’t pushed to be my best that day. This place has brought me confidence by providing a safe, consistent, encouraging environment, and I’ve made some great friends along the way too!
Thanks for all you do, BCB team!! Keep up the awesome work!” – Laura M.

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Beer City Barre is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Fitness Center

To better understand how Beer City Barre has been able to create such an impressive reputation, both online and off, we sat down with the owner, Cori. We asked what it was that made Beer City Barre stand out from the crowd. She shared:

“We are the only locally owned Barre Studio in Grand Rapids. We encourage love and friendship. Whoever walks through our doors can consider this place home,”

Cori mentioned that Beer City Barre’s mission was to bring awareness to locals and to encourage community. Because of this community-forward business plan, word of mouth has been vital to this company’s growth.

Building Success Through Social Media

We wanted to know more about how Beer City Barre has worked to build their online reputation. Cori told us that social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook have been valuable tools for their business and that local social media influencers have been able to share their brand.

With Beer City Barre’s success in mind, we figured Cori would be a great source of information for other businesses looking to build up their own successful reputations. We asked Cori if she had any advice for those companies. She shared the following wisdom:

“Set a plan and stick to it! Try and post at least five times a week. Get your members involved and get them to tag you. We run challenges to get customers active in what is being promoted. W make sure to encourage them to feel like a part of the story.”

The reviews certainly speak to this level of community inclusion; it is clear that the level of support and encouragement offered by Beer City Barre has been felt by its clients.


Congratulations to Beer City Barre for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Cori for taking the time to speak with us!
