Ariana Chernin

Ariana Chernin is a co founder and former Co CEO of The Barre Code, a boutique fitness brand launched in 2010 in a small basement studio in Chicago. With a $20,000 investment and a bold vision to create a fitness experience designed specifically for women, she helped scale the company from one location to more than 60 studios nationwide.

The Barre Code became known for its results driven programming rooted in cardio, strength, and restoration, while also prioritizing women’s wellness, self acceptance, and personal growth. Ariana led the development of the brand’s proprietary training systems and education platform, helping create and train thousands of instructors across the country. The Barre Code instructor training program earned NASM accreditation and became widely respected for its depth, structure, and emphasis on both physical results and leadership development.

Under her leadership, the company expanded into retail, digital on demand programming, celebrity partnerships, wellness retreats, and national media features, including Forbes. In 2023, The Barre Code merged with Barre3 to form the largest female owned boutique fitness franchise network in the world.

Today, Ariana continues to teach, mentor, and lead transformational fitness and wellness experiences globally. She hosts pop up events, retreats, and immersive workshops that blend HIIT, strength, barre, meditation, and nervous system work. Her approach combines performance, energy, and emotional connection to create powerful and memorable class experiences.
