MINI USA AND BARRY'S PARTNER TO CELEBRATE COMMUNITY AND INCLUSIVITY

Partnership will provide vehicles for instructors and unique MINI experiences for clients in the Hamptons, Los Angeles and Chicago
 

Woodcliff Lake, NJ,  July 29, 2025. MINI USA and global fitness brand Barry’s are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership making the MINI the official car of the summer at Barry’s. MINI and Barry’s share two common brand attributes – community and inclusivity – which allows this partnership to create a unique and unparalleled fitness and lifestyle experience for customers across the United States like no other brands in their industries.

Through this partnership, MINI USA and Barry's will combine their lifestyle expertise to offer exclusive fitness programs, events, and promotions that integrate the dynamic energy of Barry's workouts with the “fun to drive” community-driven spirit of MINI vehicles. This initiative is designed to inspire and empower individuals to lead healthier, more active lives with a likeminded community.

"We are excited to partner with Barry's, a brand that shares our commitment to community, inclusivity and fun," said Kate Alini, Head of Marketing, Product & Strategy, MINI USA. "Together, we will bring a new level of excitement, fun and engagement to Barry’s clients, both in and out of the gym."

This summer, Barry’s staff and instructors will drive MINI vehicles as part of their daily life at locations in the Hamptons (Wainscott & Southampton), Chicago and Los Angeles, motoring to and from the studio and anywhere else their adventurous spirit takes them. Barry’s will also feature MINI themed classes called "RUN x LIFT: Full Throttle with MINI" where attendees will receive MINI Swag, along with complimentary Fuel Bar shakes at the Chicago and Los Angeles locations. RUN X LIFT is Barry’s signature 50-minute class that combines interval-based cardio routines on the treadmill and strength training on the floor. Barry's Fuel Bars provide their global community with pre-and post-workout shakes that aid in their fitness goals and recovery.

"Barry’s has always been about bringing people together and creating an inclusive space where everyone feels empowered,” said Dan Rabinovich, Senior Director of Brand Partnerships at Barry’s. “Partnering with MINI, a brand that shares our same spirit of community and fun, lets us extend that energy beyond the Red Room and into everyday life. Together, we’re giving our Fit Fam a new way to move, connect, and live full throttle.”

The partnership initially kicked off in June and runs through September, with additional activations planned for next month. Stay tuned for more fun.
