I love this place! I've almost hit 25 classes and see myself going for years to come. I am not a huge fan of all group fitness classes, but this one takes the cake as my absolute favorite. I love the HIIT style with intervals of running (speed, incline) and strength training (body area targeted differs depending on day of the week). I always leave feeling confident, energized, and like I got a GREAT workout in. The instructors are so motivating and energetic that it's genuinely contagious. I also like how every single class I've been to is different-- they switch it up constantly and are really creative. To top it off, they made me feel like a queen on my birthday with this sign at check in. They also left a birthday card on my treadmill. Love Barry's :) read more

Barry's Lincoln Park - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

New comer with an excellent class experience, however, I regretfully report that this location fell short on their hospitality. I came in with 3 of my girl friends, we were all new to this location and class. Let's just say, this 50 min run + lower body focused class was an absolute caloric BURNER!!! Our instructor, Jen D., was so motivating and truly pushed all of us to our pinnacle -- absolute kick as* of a coach and I personally recommend trying out her class, even if it's just one. We took a 6:40pm, 50 min class, and wanted to shower afterwards. On 2/27/24 there was a rain storm we didn't realize was projected to happen after our class. We went in for a shower, and as soon as I stepped out, a kind member of Barry's let us know about this storm and that she would appreciate if we could try to get ready as fast as possible so that we, along with the staff won't be stranded there. She mentioned she along with the rest of her coworkers would like to leave early for this purpose but, that they will stay until we leave. I didn't get her name, but she was forth coming about making us aware of a storm and that we should head out as soon as we can. I was drying off and changed into my clothes and dried the roots of my hair (unknowing of a *rain* storm, ugh!) I would not have tried drying the roots of my hair if I knew it was going to be pouring outside! After briefly doing that, she came back in and let me know the closed at 8pm and that we needed to leave so, I understood but was still waiting for my friend to get out of the shower. It's 7:55pm, and a different member named Tina came in and in a very rude tone told us that we were given warnings to leave, yet we were not leaving. I reminded her that I was fully dressed waiting on my friend who just got out of the shower and that once she gets clothes on that we will leave. I asked for her name and she mentioned I was being inappropriate for asking. As I was trying to de-escalate the way her approach came off, she stormed out of the ladies locker room. I was shocked! We got our stuff and walked out but before leaving, I mentioned this was my first time and I didn't know they closed at 8pm, nor was I aware of how severe the storm was, truly! I mentioned to Tina I don't want bad blood but, this experience she gave me made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. There was no true apology for how she spoke to my friend and I, but now I just don't feel welcome which is hard to say after a great workout. My friends and I would like to keep going to this location and we wished we knew more about closing times ahead of our workout to plan accordingly and ultimately avoid this unnecessarily uncomfortable experience that was truly brought on by how we were talked to. I'm sure if we were trusted to leave after being communicated to kindly, we would have shed a few minutes from our time there. We left at 8:23pm. Again, I would love to keep coming here, but now I'm questioning keeping my package and currently on the fence about recommending this location to athletes in my network. It is so valid to feel frustrated and almost irritable at guests that aren't moving fast enough; I feel that! It is not okay to talk to people in the way we were talked to. It's not hospitality, it's hostility, and it's truly not something I'm sure was intentional. At the end of the day, we're paying for the class and the experience at Barry's. We left disheartened by the way we were talked to. I'm a very easy going gal and deeply understand that everyone is going through something. Everyone. But again, we were complying and there is a way to talk with people - this was certainly not one of them. read more

I tried Barry's early this month and when I tell you they didn't even make sure I signed a waiver before my class (that's how little the front desk folks interacted with me). I had to ASK to sign the waiver which felt so weird. The lady who did speak to me before my first class and even after actually did check on how I enjoyed my class, she was visiting from another location from a different state (she was very nice). I used to work at a group fitness gym so I know with new guests we did have to make an ounce of effort getting to know them lol. Briefly showing them the facilities, they do HAVE to sign the waiver before they take their classes and see if they have any questions and then let them go on with their lives but none of that happened for me lol. I actually went to the desk about the waiver and all because I noticed one of the front desk people were actually giving a whole intro to a new person and it made me realize that. Even the trainers didn't even speak to me. Not offended by any of this btw but it was a very interesting observation and comparison. The classes were nice and I got back into more cardio work this month because of my two classes at Barry's so thanks for that fr but most likely won't do Barry's again. read more

I signed up for a free trial class at 10:50am. Showed up at 10:47am and they gave my spot away to a person on the wait list. The person behind the desk smugly told me I have to arrive at least 5 minutes early and that "this has always been our policy," but a regular was also turned away from the class and had never heard of it. I later found the stipulation buried at the bottom of a long confirmation e-mail. I can't speak to the classes themselves, but being turned away for not being early enough is absurd and I won't be coming back. read more

Let's be honest, the only time I regularly run (or do any cardio for that matter) is when I'm trying to catch a train. But, whenever I'm in the mood for a cardio fix, knowing I can reward myself with a delish Barry's PB smoothie after class is enough to get my butt in the door. The format is simple - often there's two to three rounds alternating between the treadmill and the floor (a stepper/workout bench). And...I've been to similar places where people will murder you to get on the treadmill first, but that's not a prob here since you reserve your treadmill/floor spot when you book. On the treadmill you'll be led through some intense speed/incline intervals, while on the floor you'll rock anything from weights to resistance bands to burn out the body part of the day. Although there's a ton going on, I'm constantly amazed the instructors never miss a beat, and can clearly cue a class through a killer workout. Afterwards, when you're limping out, they have everything you need to not look like a mess after class - cold towels, showers, hair dryers, product, everything. That said, since there is so much going on and the majority of classes are packed, don't come here expecting personalized corrections. Instead, I'll mention any injuries to instructors before class, they'll tell me what exercises to expect/modify right then and there, and I've never had a problem. One thing to note, the room feels more heated than most places, and I've had to modify running speeds - srsly, once we were given options to start at 8.5, 9.5, or 10.5 mph (my slow ass started at a 7). So with all that in mind, get that ass to class - and then get that ass a smoothie! read more

Barry's never fails to provide an up-tempo, heart-pounding workout. It is in the same vein as Orange Theory and Shred415, but Barry's has found a loyal following. I've been to a few classes at this location and the River North studio and have enjoyed the variety between workouts- no two are the same! I recommend arriving 10-15 minutes prior to the start of your class. There are full locker rooms for men and women with showers and restrooms. There are also storage lockers to the right of the front desk. This area gets the most congested as one class ends (50 people out) and another class begins (50 people waiting to get in the studio). There's limited space and only a few benches to sit on, so you might use this time to stretch, since you get moving right away! You can browse the merchandise or pre-order a smoothie while you wait. The smoothie variety is wide, and you can customize if need be. I asked for a Whole30 compliant drink and it was no problem. The music is bumping, so grab ear plugs from the front desk if you want to. Each class can accommodate over 50 people, but it runs smoothly. When you check in at the front desk, you'll receive your treadmill or floor station number. Both the treadmills and floor benches are numbered, so you rotate between your same-numbered stations instead of finding an open spot. What I like most is the recommended speed ranges on the treadmill for walking, jogging, running, and sprinting. Everyone runs at a different pace, but the instructor calls out a range to give you a benchmark (ie run between 5-7 mph), from which you can adjust accordingly. At the end of your 10-15 minute running interval, you proceed to the floor for dumbbell, body weight, or resistance band exercises; people who started on the floor move to the treadmill. Then you switch back and forth following the instructor's directions. The hour passes quickly and the variation between sets makes it unpredictable and fun! If you have a serious injury, I'd avoid this altogether. But for those able to run between 2-4 miles and lift free weights with full range of motion, this is the place for you! read more

Barry's was a little confusing for my first time, but when my neighbor saw that I was lost, he actually slowed down to demonstrate the moves for me so thanks Santiago! Upon check in, I was told I would start on the floor and given a number. On the dot, the workout room is opened to reveal treadmills on one side and raised benches for strength and conditioning exercises. Ambiance: dark, flashes of bright lights, loud music (I think it was punk rock). My class had two instructors that teach through microphones over the music and walk around fixing bad form, but they can't possibly catch everyone since it's a big class packed in a room. The time was evenly split between floor and deck, and the groups swapped places after 30 minutes. I didn't really care for just running for cardio. I've tried a bunch of HIIT classes, and this one wins for shirtless guys and girls. To me, it looked like there was a disproportionate number of already fit people. Good for them - they did look fantastic! If you find that motivating, this is your place. read more

I came to Chicago during Christmas break to visit some family and decided to put down the cookies in exchange for some sweat. A friend of mine was going, so I figured I'd work off some of the holiday gluttony. I'd been to Barry's a few times in LA, I am a regular orange theory member, and have taken shreds415 a few times as well. All of the concepts are similar - run for a chunk of time - floor work for a chunk of time - 2-4 switches- BAM class is over. And all of them have some pros and cons. Here are the Barry's - Lincoln Park pros and cons. Pros: - ample street parking on weekends/ early morning ( Parking is $2 an hour) NOT FREE - clean facility and nice staff - fun environment: loud music, red lights, hip crowd - good workout concept - HIIT - nice amenities: showers, lockers with locks on them, workout towels - Juice bar for a post workout smoothie - Close to coffee shops and brunch's spots for some post workout fun Cons: - the workout programming wasn't the same for both groups. I only noticed because i teach classes and was wondering why my group didn't get to do one of the exercises. Maybe the instructor ran short on time or programmed the workout on fly - no floor demonstrations: not a problem for the experienced person but for new ppl it can be hard to follow - no floor coaching! Not one members form was corrected even when there were several ppl doing the wrong exercise - No one cleaned off their station! Ewwww working out in someone else's sweat Overall it is a good workout! You'll sweat, get your heart rate up, and leave feeling like you actually worked out. If you're newer to fitness I'd recommend going with a friend who has been a few times before or going to orange theory. Barry's is a great workout for the experienced fitness enthusiast. If you know how to push yourself and already have a solid understanding of exercises/form you'll enjoy the workout. read more

This location is great as they have a parking lot right next door that is discounted. They also have the usual amenities as the River North location. The only slight downfall is that this one is quite a bit smaller, the front area is the waiting area prior to class, the bar area, and the check-in. The locker room for some reason didn't have a bench to sit down on? I wasn't sure why that was missing as it is helpful to place your bag there vs the ground. The instructors here tough and wonderful! You really get a great workout in and push yourself. There are classes that target different parts of your body every day. These workouts are like a more intense version of Shred415 (which I absolutely love!). The instructors for sure push you but in a positive way. The price point is a bit higher than other studios but overall it's worth it. read more

Barry's is basically the Soul Cycle of HIIT classes. The studio is really really nice, everyone that works there is cool and hip, and the classes are amazing. Literally the only difference between the two is the actual content of the class and the smoothie bar at Barry's. These classes kick your ass. It's honestly really hard to do the entire class at the level they want you to, but that's obviously the point. I'll know I've succeeded in life when I can make it through a Barry's class without having to slow down my treadmill early or take a pause on the floor. I've taken a lot of HIIT classes in the city, and I think Barry's tops all of them (Shred, Torch, OTF). The music, the teachers, the exercises - all top notch! The fuel bar is also really good, and so convenient to have right there for after your workout. And the cold scented towels!!! Amazing. Excited to have this close by in Lincoln Park! read more

Barry's Lincoln Park - Barry's & brunch - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I really love Barry's Lincoln Park. I have done a ton of HIIT type classes, but always come back to Barry's because they are simply the best. The front desk staff are friendly, the instructors are fantastic and I appreciate the consistency of knowing I will always get a killer workout. With that said, I am 38 and have had highs and lows in my fitness journey. I appreciate that know matter where I am at in my fitness, I can always count on Barry's to get me back in shape. read more

Barry's is a great workout everytime! The structure is treadmill and floor, about 2-3 rounds in each 60 minute class. Each instructor has a different style and music - but I feel tired and amazing afterwards. The studio is clean and has great amenities. Parking out front is also free - pretty easy to park especially for the first class on the weekend, which is my preference (7-8AM). There is also a lot that is $2 for parking if you get it Validated. Docking a star because I do feel like this place isn't as beginner friendly as orange theory - everyone here already looks like they're fit. If I hadn't already been going to classes at my own gym for a few months, it would be hard to follow since sometimes the instructors just say what the move is without demonstrating it. I have found success in copying my neighbor. It is also pricey at $30 a class, although you do get minor discounts if you buy packages (e.g $27/class for a pack of 25 classes) read more

Tried out the Barry's Bootcamp for the first time on Thursday, 5:30pm Abs (more like Ab Shred and Sped on Tread till Dead) class with Trista G. This is one of the hardest classes I've ever done in Chicago (other one is Pure Strength at Equinox). Holy crap, I thought I was in good enough shape to handle bootcamp classes, but Trista's class really pushed me to test my limits! I was assigned a bench work (on The Step) first followed by HIIT intervals on the treadmill. We did about 4 rounds of Abs and treadmill sprinting intervals until the hour is up. The high-tempo, top 40 music was great to move to. My heart was through the roof, abs were on fire, and I literally thought I could pass out if I pushed myself to go any faster than 8 mph on the treadmill (which many people did!). After it was all done, I was so proud of myself and the other students were very supportive and slapped hands with each other in congratulations. When we exited the classroom, we were given cold (eucalyptus? scented) therapeutic towels to cool down. Barry's has many great amenities: hair ties/bobby pins sweep your hair from your sweat-drenched face, ear plugs if you're sensitive to loud music, locker rooms (lockers are square and small -- not big enough for a backpack), coat rack, bath towels, clean showers, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, deodorant, lotion, plastic laundry bags, q-tips, etc. The classes are $30 each if you don't buy a package, which is pricey. But in the future, I may want to do a group event here for celebrations or even just a treat for myself. read more

This work out isn't for the faint of heart! Dedication and hard work are needed! The staff is super nice and never had a problem at check-in! The locker rooms are super clean and upscale! Oribe luxury products are in the showers and washrooms. You have the option to have a protein shake waiting for you after class this is an option I love! Barry's has tons of options even for the classes!! I've done about 5 workouts, before writing this review and I want to give a shout out to Danny S! His workouts are amazing and he is super energetic and positive! I always have a great work out and my body hasn't looked better! Thanks, barry's ill be back! read more

Front desk staff is the best! I had a glitch with my ClassPass sign up (prob my own fault), but when I showed up they still found a way to get me into class and were super nice about it. Also facilities are "upscale" and clean. Oh and the workout was HARD but that's what you want, right?? Thanks Full Body Scotty! read more

Smaller than the River North but still packs the same punch. A plus is the street parking right in front of the bootcamp, however on weekends, it takes getting there by at least the 9 AM class to easily get parking. Although the shower room is much smaller, there is plenty of locker outside and a water bottle filling station - an arguably essential perk that's missing from River North. Overall, I often hit the LP branch on weekends for an early pre-brunch workout. The plentiful boutiques and brunch places makes it a great spot to inject some quick yet effective workout into your weekend so you can go harder at brunch and earn that stack of french toast. read more

What a workout! As someone trying to get into shape, this was a great class. The facilities are clean and nice, plenty of towels, lockers that have built in easy locks (so you don't need to bring your own), and just all around a fun environment to get your sweat on! Now I see why this is the new trend! read more

This is the first Barrys studio I've tried outside of the Bay Area. Tl;dr You can't go wrong with Barrys There are many similarities and some slight differences between Chicago and Bay Area. - both are very challenging and you'll feel like crap in the red room, but fantastic afterwards - the Bay Area classes are more endurance-based while Chicago classes put more emphasis on intervals and strength. I felt the floor section was more challenging in Chicago but I'm not sure if that's influenced by other factors such as I'm tired from flying. Overall I've noticed gyms in Chicago put a heavier emphasis on strength training. On the tread segments, the speeds are slightly lower but fast runs are longer and recovery includes walking. - same great check in process and same fuel bar. I haven't tried a smoothie yet but I plan to before I leave! - there are more weights in this studio which makes it so much more convenient! Sometimes I can't get my weight in soma Barrys but that will never be the case here. - the studio is huge! There are giant double doors that enter into the studio. The trainers don't give a rundown of the workout ahead of time but that doesn't make it less challenging. Overall, I never thought I'd get addicted to such an expensive fitness studio but I definitely have and I love the fact I can keep a familiar workout with slight variations everywhere I travel. read more

Have 5 claases now, pretty impressed by how the course is designed and how you.are motivated. It is more expensive compare to going to gym by youself, but , it definitely worth! The only shortcoming is the floor room is little bit crowded, but the treadmill there is the way better than any treadmill in any gym I have been to. read more

Shout out to Sierra G. for organizing the UYE- Yelp Takes over Barry's Bootcamp at the Lincoln Park location last night. It was a challenging class, to say the least (still feeling it in my abs today), and a great opportunity to meet a few other fitness enthusiasts in the Yelp community. Being an Equinox loyalist, I have taken my share of cardio and strength training interval workouts in a group class setting, albeit none where treadmill running was a component. I am always eager to try out a new workout experience, so I was looking forward to this event, even though my trepidation increased in the days leading up to it (I'm sure all of the Google searches I did only ratcheted up my anticipation!). Once the lights were dimmed and the music started cranking, it was showtime. The class started off on the treadmills, doing intervals, then moved on to the floor work, which targeted the abs. After some time with the stretchy bands on benches (much harder than it sounds) we moved back to the treds. By that point I was dripping with sweat, and it was time to head back to the floor for more abs and a cool down. Not being an avid runner, the running part for me was the hardest. Fortunately the instructor made it clear that we were to choose the pace that worked for us. The instructor, Trista G., kept the energy up and even called me by name, which was impressive, given that I was a newbie and she had so many other faces to keep track of. The darkened room and lack of ceiling fans took some getting used to, but the team-focused atmosphere helped me engage and even pretend that I was in a hip nightclub, not sweating it out. At the end of the workout, I grabbed a much-needed chilled towel from the woman handing them out. The women behind the smoothie bar couldn't have been nicer, handing out cute sample-sized cups of a fruit smoothie, chocolate pb smoothie, and a green smoothie for us to try. I really liked the flavors and the level of customization available. I walked out feeling accomplished and marveling that I was able to get so much done in an hour. The first-time rate made this class a reasonable value, and I will definitely consider returning when I want to kick my workout routine into a higher gear. read more

I've done Barry's Bootcamp in NYC and was a little underwhelmed after all the hype I'd heard from my West Coast friends. It was a little crammed, hard to understand the instructor and oh so dark. When Barry's Lincoln Park opened, I thought I would give it another try, especially since it was right in my neighborhood. I am a loyal Shredder (shout out Shred415!), but I'm always looking for variety and a good sweat. This morning I tried Andrew's class and I was utterly impressed. I don't know if he is just awesome, it was a miracle mix of endorphins that made me feel fast and strong, or if Chicago continues to slay New York on all fronts. Regardless, it was a phenomenal workout and I went straight home and booked the same class for next weekend. The details.... +Intervals on woodway treadmills and strength training and dynamic movement on the floor, all set to heart-pumping jams +this workout doesn't get easier, there is a constant challenge and the instructors will push you to a level where you walk out feeling accomplished +you get to book your spot in advance! instead of worrying about getting a treadmill or your favorite spot on the floor, you get to pick you when you book your class. Type A rejoice! +the studio is chic and spotless - cold oil infused towels when you finish, a classy touch +clear concise instruction, there was not a single moment when I didn't know what was going out. For me, this is something that effects my enjoyment of the workout, making experienced instructors key. +Great location! I may be biased because I love my 'hood, but this is right across from Summer House and Stella Barra. Give it a try, even though I regularly workout, I get nervous to try new studios. Barry's does a great job to be inclusive and make everyone feel welcome. read more

Very happy with Barrys. Glad I gave it a chance! I will admit my 1st class was challenging both physically and directionally (took getting used to the fast pass of the class and the instructions on what to do), but once that learning curve was over I've not turned back! I appreciate all staff and instructors positive attitudes, and especially love that they take the time to remember a face! They address me by my name and I feel that makes a great impression on a service industry business. Barrys workouts are what you make of them. Having a hard day, bust it out? Sore or injured or tired and can't push yourself? Dial it back and you'll still have the support and encouragement from the instructor and a great workout. Both Lincoln Square and River North are great. I attend Lincoln Square more because of the location to me. Try it! You won't be disappointed:) read more

One of my best friends has been taking Barry's classes in San Francisco for awhile and RAVED about them. She also had amazing results and her body looks fantastic. When they opened a location 1.5 blocks from my house, my husband and I decided to try it. I am HOOKED. It is an amazing workout, and the instructors are so motivating that it pushes me further than I am able to push myself. Matt Dye is my personal favorite - he is flawless. Amazing music, so entertaining, and I always leave feeling like I worked my @$$ off. My husband loves Spencer L, he loves how direct he is, his music, and loves that he leaves feeling near death. The front desk is also incredible! Tamsen is so sweet and always smiling (even when we came for a 5am class). Yes, it's a little higher in price, but you get your moneys worth in the workout and experience! read more

I've called multiple times the last few months and nobody seems to answer the phone. Extremely disappointing!

This was my first time taking a class at Barry's and I absolutely loved it! Don't get me wrong...it was by no means easy, but whats the point of an easy work out?! When I arrived, I checked in with the front desk and informed them this was my first time. The two girls at the front were super welcoming and explained the format of the class/what to expect. I have been to Shred and it sounded like it would be a similar class format based on their explanation. When the music started I knew I'd love it! The music was great and Trista, who was the instructor, was fantastic. She was very motivating and provided clear instruction. I typically go to barre classes and SoulCycle, but this place will whip you into shape. I plan to give Barry's a whirl for a month to see how it goes. I was initially intimated to try this class, but the staff was so welcoming! I highly recommend giving Barry's in Lincoln Park a try. Amazing workout! read more

I love Barry's! The workout is so damn hard, but in a good way. I especially love Butt & Legs day since I think you get the most bang for your buck. The studio is top notch with Oribe products that smell divine and a staff that is so friendly. I've heard a lot of people say they are intimidated by Barry's and I can definitely see why. However, I've never been someone to let intimidation drive my workout choices. If I want to walk because I'm feeling tired on the treadmill, I do it (aka I do what I CAN not what everyone around me is doing). I've become a better runner after attending Barry's regularly. I think that Barry's is absolutely the most challenging out of comparable classes (Shred415 and Orangetheory), so if you are someone just starting out, I would say to possibly try one of those, but if you are looking to be challenged, try Barry's! Summer is just around the corner. read more

I love Barry's Bootcamp! Is it the music? the lights? the smoothies? the intensity? the clean, hip space? or the amazing instructors? It's the combination! I go on the regular and I am in the best shape of my life. It's not just a workout, its an experience. And an addiction! You MUST take a class from Trista Greco! Hands down the best trainer in the city. Lots of great instructors at Barry's but she stands out big time. Her classes are always changing it up, you never get bored, they're super tough but fun, the music is on point and she's a total babe. read more

Today I got my ass kicked but I'm not that mad about it! Workout was intense can't feel my legs but I know I needed that. I definitely will be back!! read more

Barry's Lincoln Park - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Such a great workout! We came for the 7:10am class with Joe. Chest, abs, back focus and a Whitney vs. Mariah music theme. The class was a lot of fun. I love the facilities. The locker rooms were spa-like with Oribe products and everything that I needed to get ready. We also visited the Fuel bar and had smoothies. The Matcha Made In Heaven was so good. (I subbed the egg white protein instead). read more

I always enjoy my workouts here, I tried to do a few each month. The fuel bar is amazing compared to any other smoothie you can get in Chicago and the staff is always very friendly and jovial. Joe N. is particurlay attentive in his classes, supporting and challenging your form to always be better. I was initially hesitant to larger class fitness due to form but Joe takes the time to call our improvements that can always be made (whether they are related to you or someone else in the class they are very helpful). Holly K. Is also one of my favorites for early in the morning, her energy and instruction is fitting for the environment and she does an excellent job with kicking your butt. (Just no comment on her conspiracy theories about the water making people pregnant). Overall, great workout and genuinely amazing instructors! Highly recommend. read more

If you want to a challenging workout while being surrounded by great energy, then you have to give Barry's a try. The instructors motivate you to push yourself while proving awesome music. Also, huge shoutout to the front desk and fuel bar staff. They are so welcoming and go above and beyond to get you started or if you have any questions!! read more

Great workout that burns the most calories in 45-55 minutes! Full body days are great to get a cardio and strength workout in.

A little pricey, I wish they had better package deals, but over all awesome! Comfortable environment, friendly staff and teachers! The work out goes so fast because of the way it's structured and there's a great playlist going on read more

I. Love. This. Workout. This is in the top two favorite next to Flywheel for me (obviously a very different workout). The trainers are extremely positive and fun, I follow a lot of them on social media and they're really motivating. I also feel like the base pace is higher here than other similar concepts, which pushes you more. Would highly recommend (I do it on class pass because it's extremely expensive). Also, the smoothies may be better than Left Coast. Just saying (which is saying a lot). read more

I booked a class through ClassPass about 4 days before class, and I was seriously so excited to try this class. I wish I had known before hand that through ClassPass I'd be given the double floor. For 20 credits, "premium spots" means doing the floor set for the entire hour. I barely broke a sweat. Barry's is nothing different from any other interval training studio in the city. That being said.... I've only done the floor set... couldn't tell you about the treadmill set! read more

I came here with several other Yelpers to check out a class, and overall, I was impressed! This was my first time here, and I had heard great things about Barry's Bootcamp, so I had high expectations. The facility was beautiful, the staff members were kind, and I certainly got a good workout! They also had smoothie samples for us after class, and those were delicious! I deducted a star because there were several times during the workout that I felt kind of lost (especially while setting up my resistance band), and the instructor was not particularly attentive to my struggles. Otherwise, I had an excellent workout and would love to return (the price tag is a deterrent for me, though). read more

I love this place! Barrys trainers clearly take so so so much pride in what they do. Pretty sure they are all perfectionists. I am still impressed with Scott's "Number 33 Scotty Pippen" themed class (I'm probably saying it wrong oops) but he seriously made me feel like an NBA player - and I don't even like basketball! SO FUN! Just take one of Scotts classes and you'll see his drama and creativity and know what I mean. Aside from the actual killer workouts, Barrys has fab locker rooms aka sparkling sanctuaries with luxe Oribe products, Dyson hair dryers, and sofffftass towels. The front desk folks are always so helpful - some know my name - impressive! Shoutout to Mike and Erin for managing a great team. It's impressive how much is going on at Barrys - from the fuel bar, to featured retail, to spa like locker rooms, it's way more than a gym and these guys kill it!! Thanks for helping me with my fitness goalss wooooo. read more

Loveeeee love love. Best workout, studio, vibe and trainers ever. Love all the smoothies. The treadmills are also amazing.

Being a huge workout buff I needed to find a place to workout while I was traveling. I stopped into Barry's on a recommendation from a friend and I was not disappointed. The instructor was extremely motivational which kept me going the entire class. The classes are high intensity interval training with two options, cardio and double floor. For those who are runners the cardio portion is 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes strength training however, if you are not a runner like myself you can do double strength training. I really enjoyed this class set up as it's something I hadn't been exposed to before. I highly recommend checking this place out if you are looking for a place to workout. I was intimidated at first but I will promise you it's not as scary as it sounds. My only critique would be that I would have loved for the instructor to walk around more to ensure proper form for the strength portion. When lifting 12-25 lb weights it's critical to make students have proper form. read more
