Barry's founders left in 2015 when private equity took over: first North Castle Partners, now Princeton Equity Group. A 2023 California court entered a $700,000 judgment against it over meal and rest break violations.
The Big Picture
Barry's is a workout brand with no workout founders left in the building: Barry Jay, John Mumford, and Rachel Mumford all exited when North Castle Partners took majority control in 2015, and the company has changed private-equity hands again since, landing with Princeton Equity Group in January 2025. A California court entered a $700,000 judgment against the company in January 2023 in a suit alleging meal and rest break violations. Growth here answers to a private equity fund's return timeline, not to the instructors leading the classes.
