MIDLOTHIAN, Va. — A former student of a recently shuttered Midlothian fitness studio is using the closure as an opportunity. Becca Haase is opening Gallery Barre, a studio that utilizes ballet barres in its workouts, at 13827 Village Place Drive in Midlothian Village Square.
Gallery Barre will open this month in the 1,200-square-foot space formerly occupied by locally based Corner Barre, which closed the location in August, Haase said.
Haase worked out at the Corner Barre and said she was sad to see it close.
“I know it wasn’t because it wasn’t doing well,” she said. “It wasn’t due to a lack of clientele.”
Corner Barre launched in 2011 with a location in Short Pump, which is still open for business. The owners of Corner Barre could not be reached for comment about the Midlothian space. It had been open for about two years.
