An Arlington woman began her entrepreneurial journey earlier this year with the opening of a new fitness studio in Falls Church.

Hope Wheeler opened a barre3 this winter at 450 N. Washington Street, making a career shift after two decades in professional communications. Since February, the new boutique fitness studio has brought dozens of people together for classes in strength, cardio and mindfulness.


ARLnow has never done more local news reporting than we’re doing now.

We’re doing deep dives on local government and budgets, reporting regularly on how White House policies are affecting Arlington, doggedly covering beats like criminal justice and local business, and watching just about every local meeting of note.

In all, a half dozen full-time journalists contribute to our Arlington coverage. In this day and age, this level of hyperlocal coverage is rare for a community like Arlington. And it’s not easy to maintain.

Unfortunately, the current economic uncertainty is contributing to a meaningful downturn in our main source of revenue: advertising by local businesses and organizations.

While we already have more than 500 members of the ARLnow Press Club, we need more to weather a sustained economic downturn. If you’ve been on the fence, now is the time to join.

But it’s not just altruism — you’ll also get some great features which Press Club members love, including:

  • Early Morning Notes: An early look at the coming day’s coverage plan and Morning Notes.
  • Afternoon Pro Update: A banner-ad-free daily newsletter with AI text and audio summaries.
  • Weekend Edition: Weekly features that explore local history and track restaurant openings, court cases and deals from local businesses.
