FBY is hiring! We are looking to expand our work exchange program and add some friendly new faces to our behind-the-desk team!

What is the FBY Work Exchange program?
Our work exchange program offers the chance for yogis and barre stars to exchange their time for unlimited classes at the studio. In exchange for working behind the desk at least once weekly and one weekend morning each month, work exchange participants receive free, unlimited classes at the studio!

This position is perfect for anyone who loves sweating local and supporting independent boutique fitness, enjoys meeting new people, and has a non-traditional or flexible schedule (availability mid-morning and weekday evenings is huge!).

If you’re interested in learning more and joining the FBY family, email us at [email protected] or reach out via DM.

Have someone in mind who would be a perfect fit? Tag them in the comments below to let them know we’re on the lookout!

Hey FBY yogis! We love to be able to offer mat storage for you, but it’s time for us to do a little end-of-summer update for the yoga mat wall. If your mat is here, just send us an email or DM to let us know that you see your mat and that you would like to continue to store it with us, or to let us know that you would like to come pick it up. Any unclaimed mats will be donated at the end of the month.

Swipe right to see which mats are looking for their yogis! ➡️

‼️Updated Covid19 Safety Protocols!‼️

In accordance with the city of Philadelphia’s vaccination policy, FBY is now requiring all clients to either show proof of vaccination in order to take class.

When you arrive to class, you will be asked to add proof of vaccination to your account. Just show us your vaccine card (or a picture of it works too!) and your vaccination status will be saved to your account for future visits - that way you don’t need to show it every time you come in!

As always, thank you for being a part of our community, doing what it takes to keep everyone safe, and sticking with us through this ever-changing time.

Have questions? Let us know!
