WEHOonline welcomes these 10 new West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce members to our special circle of local businesses:
Barry’s
Barry’s, formerly known as Barry’s Bootcamp, is a global fitness brand and boutique exercise class provider that has become synonymous with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts. Founded in 1998 in West Hollywood by Barry Jay, along with partners John and Rachel Mumford, Barry’s was one of the pioneers in offering structured, boutique fitness classes that combine intense cardio with strength training.
The concept of Barry’s revolves around the “Red Room,” where workouts are conducted. These sessions typically last about 50 minutes to an hour and are designed to push participants to their physical limits for optimal fitness results. A hallmark of Barry’s classes is the alternating segments of treadmill cardio exercises and floor work, which includes weights and resistance training. This combination aims to provide a comprehensive, full-body workout that enhances cardiovascular health, builds muscle, and burns fat.
Barry’s has earned a reputation for its challenging yet rewarding workouts, often described as a blend of camaraderie, competition, and community. The instructors play a significant role in this, known for their motivational style and the personalized attention they give to participants, helping to foster an inclusive and supportive atmosphere. www.barrys.com
Blu Dot
Blu Dot is an American furniture design company renowned for its modern, minimalist designs that blend form and function with simplicity and innovation. Founded in 1997 by John Christakos, Maurice Blanks, and Charlie Lazor, Blu Dot emerged from the founders’ mutual passion for art, architecture, and design, coupled with a desire to bring good design to as many people as possible. This Minneapolis-based company started with the founders’ frustration over the lack of affordable, high-quality, and beautifully designed furniture available to consumers.
Blu Dot’s product line encompasses a wide range of furniture and home accessories, including sofas, chairs, tables, storage solutions, and lighting. Their design process is deeply collaborative and research-intensive, involving not only designers but also engineers and manufacturers to ensure that each piece is as functional and durable as it is beautiful.
Blu Dot’s design aesthetic can be described as contemporary and unpretentious, characterized by clean lines, subtle curves, and a palette that favors neutral colors and natural materials. This approach has earned the company numerous design awards and recognitions, including the prestigious Cooper Hewitt National Design Award in 2018, which is a testament to their contribution to the American design landscape.
The company operates on a global scale, with products available in numerous countries and flagship stores in major cities around the world, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sydney. Blu Dot also engages with customers directly through its website, offering an extensive catalog of its designs along with resources to help customers make informed decisions about their furniture purchases.

The KINRGY method incorporates elements of dance, strength training, yoga, and tai chi, creating a dynamic and immersive experience that encourages participants to express themselves freely while working out. The workouts are designed to be accessible to people of all fitness levels, promoting inclusivity and a sense of community among its users. One of the unique aspects of KINRGY is its focus on the emotional and spiritual aspects of fitness, encouraging participants to explore their inner selves and find joy in movement.
Julianne Hough has described KINRGY as a way to help people connect with their true essence and unleash their creative energy. The platform offers a variety of classes and experiences, available both online and, potentially, in live settings, allowing participants to engage with the method from anywhere in the world. KINRGY emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their physicality and emotions without judgment.
