About LINDSAY IRRER

Lindsay Irrer grew up in Bay City, Michigan, where her many years growing up in a dance studio led to her love of movement and the connections made with people around her while doing so. A Michigan State University alumna, Lindsay earned her degree in Communication and Public Relations while also traveling the country supporting Spartan Athletics as a four-year member of the Michigan State Dance Team. Lindsay left the corporate world in 2013 to follow her dream of owning a business and has since opened The Barre Code studios in Birmingham, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, and Northville. A full-service women’s fitness studio that celebrates a lifestyle in relentless pursuit of personal potential and a one-stop-shop of cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, and restoration – The Barre Code goes beyond the ballet barre to provide an innovative, all-encompassing program that empowers you to push your limits and uncover your strength. Lindsay spends her days as the studio co-owner alongside her partner, Janelle, focused on building studio community through the client experience, online presence, and planning special events and partnerships outside of the studio.
