A new high-end fitness boutique plans to open early next month in Alexandria’s Carlyle neighborhood.

Owner Kenyatta Kavo is opening MuVe Studios on March 1 at 2050-B Ballenger Avenue, according to the fitness boutique’s Instagram page.

Once open, the offerings at MuVe Studios will include yoga, pilates, personal training, apparel, massage chairs, a personal sauna and complimentary coffee and espresso.

“Discover a refreshing approach to fitness where you are never just a number,” the company says on its website. “MuVe Studios Inc offers a true boutique experience right here in Alexandria, specializing in smaller, personalized classes and focused wellness programs.”

Day passes cost $25, while monthly membership ranges from $150 to $250.

“We have cultivated an intimate community for those seeking high-quality instruction and a supportive environment away from the overwhelming crowds of large facilities,” the company’s website states. “Join our studio to connect, feel seen, and achieve your wellness goals with the focused attention you deserve.”

ALXnow has reached out to Kavo for more information.
