Street or garage parking only so you do have to pay every time unfortunately. The space was clean and the employees were very welcoming. The workout was so hard I almost threw up! Haha. read more

Barry's Nashville - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Visiting from Cali, ordered a shake. Order was cancelled. I called and some rude woman said they were super busy - on a Tuesday at 6:50am and could not do juice orders. Said they are a gym not a juice bar in a rude manner. I am literally visiting from a major city where our Barry's is actually busy, so this response and experience was kinda whack. read more

Went to my first Barrys class and it was fantastic. Josh was friendly and welcoming and the class was no joke. I had muscles sore the next day that I didn't even know existed. Thank you to dana, we were looking for a workout class in the area and there were a lot of options. But when I called with questions not only was she accommodating but she left a lasting impression that they would take care of us at Barrys! Excited to go to my next class this week! p.s. love the graffiti. read more

Barry's Nashville - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Attended my first class at Barry's this past week. The class focus was abs and ass. The staff was lovely and very welcoming. The amenities at Barry's were fantastic and luxurious. They even gave us a small sample of the ouai detox shampoo. The space where the class is held is a darker room with mirrors surrounding it. When the class starts the room turns red and the music get turned up. The room is split between strength training and cardio. I thought the layout of the class going back and forth between the two was perfect. So you don't have to conform to one type of workout. Unfortunately, there are some things I wish would of gone differently. Firstly, this is definitely not a class for newbies. There is no explanation or pointers by the instructor. I think former athletes would excel in their classes. But if you aren't coming from an athletic background and don't already have a backlog of exercises by name, this might not be for you. Barry's is a go go go class. No time to be corrected. Unfortunately, I can see people getting physically hurt this way. Lastly, the music is turned up so loud. 80% of the time I couldn't fully hear what the instructor was saying. This might be the preferred workout location for someone else, but not for me. read more

Loved the workout! Loved the instructor! Towels included, plenty of locker space for your belongings while you're in class! I wish the instructor or front desk staff would have taken the time to explain the setup of the room once the doors opened, where all the equipment is, how the treadmill works etc. but the energy is unreal, the music is bumping and I can't wait to go back! read more

Loved this studio! It was my first time trying a class, and I was from out of town. Everyone made me feel super welcome, not to mention a personalized birthday greeting sign! You will be taken care of if you attend their class :) read more

Barry's Nashville - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

From the moment you step into the dimly-lit studio, the energy crackles. The thumping bass and motivating instructor get your adrenaline pumping before you even clip into the red treadmills. And then, the fun (or pain, depending on your perspective) begins. My Barry's experience was brutal, exhilarating, and strangely addictive. It's not for the faint of heart (or those with questionable knees), but if you're looking for a challenge that'll leave you feeling stronger, fitter, and ready to tackle anything, this is it. I do wish their acoustics were a bit easier to understand the instruction for the workouts. read more

Located in a cool area in town with nice street art, graffiti like, on the inside. Staff is nice and classes were excellent! Loved it! read more

Barry's Nashville - Entrance - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This was the first city I've tried Barry's bootcamp in (so no other cities to compare it to). I have attended several HIIT gyms previously, all were similar. You split your hour between the treadmill and the floor (weights, bands). I really enjoyed the trainers (all very nice), and the workout routines on the floor. Each day focuses on a different area- upper body, lower body, total body, etc. You can put in as little or as much effort as you want- you WILL be sore the following day! There is ONE spot for "double floor" (DF) routine, if you need a break from the treadmill. This leads me to the only true negative I have- it is close to impossible to get the DF spot. You are able to book classes up to a week in advance, but people seem to just WAIT for the DF spot to open and reserve it immediately. Would definitely suggest adding more DF spots. Only other negative is that if you cancel within 24 hours of class, you are charged $10. I understand how other gyms do it- they charge you if you cancel within ONE hour of your reserved class, but 24 hours seems a bit extreme (especially since all of us have unforeseen circumstances, particularly with work). Other than that, I really enjoyed the time I spent going to the gym. It was easy to get to (and parking in the garage next door is free), clean, and had plenty of equipment. I would definitely return if more DF spots opened up!! read more

I love Barry's nashville! The staff are really nice. It's a great workout full of cardio and strength training. I try to go once a week.

Barry's always hits!! Great workout by Amanda! I was wheezing and I'm sore!

I've gone to Barry's for years in Seattle and Denver, and I've always loved my experience. The things that those locations have that the gulch location are lacking are friendly staff, a feeling of community, and motivating instructors. I really tried to like this place I've gone about ten times to give it a fair chance but unfortunately, no. During class it's really hard to hear over the music- when the instructor is talking into the mic, it's confusing... they're not super motivating, with the exception of Josh, and no one seems to remember your name. I know that sounds like big asks but for $25 a class it feels like the bare minimum. One time I came in from work in work clothes- because I was going to change in the restroom before class, and the front desk girl asked me how she could help me. If I hadn't gone to Barry's before that experience alone would've been intimidating enough to leave. In Seattle and Denver, we all were a community and we hung out and drank protein shakes after and the instructors remembered us... Little things like that really matter. read more

Great workout and the instructor was super helpful for a first time attendee. Will be back!

Excellent workout, you definitely get your monies worth. I always leave happy that I went.

My tour de fit continues and my latest stop was Barry's Bootcamp in the Gulch. This class is hard, but it doesn't necessarily have to be. You can push yourself as hard as you want. The class is divided into two groups. Some start on the treadmill and some start on the floor. You spend half the class jogging, running, and sprinting and the other half doing floors exercises. If you want to run on a 10 with an 8 incline, do it. If you want to run on a 5 with no incline, it's your workout! The instructor was super motivating and kept the class moving along seamlessly. It's impressive because you have large groups of people crisscrossing from the treadmill to the floor, back to the treadmill, and back to the floor or the reverse. It was also Britney versus day and Toxic will really get you moving on the treadmill. The facilities are super clean and the showers were spacious. They also provide towels which is a HUGE plus in my book. I hate lugging around a wet towel. You also sweat a ton and there is a real chance here to lose a lot of calories. This place will kick your butt. I could not walk the following day, but it was worth it! read more

I normally love Barry's I just had a very bad trainer. He was rude and made me feel uncomfortable.

I have been to Barry's bootcamp in a variety of different cities and each time I venture out it just gets better and better. You're greeted by the people at the front desk and I don't know if it's the Tennessee hospitality or it's this location but everyone was SO NICE and helpful. I wish I got everyone's names but they were all so sweet. The coach leading class was amazing. The workout was exactly what I needed after a weekend of being a tourist to the full extent. Overall highly recommend this location and I can't wait to visit again on my next trip back to Nashville! read more

Holy (insert expletive here) Barry's Bootcamp kicked my (insert another expletive here too)!! I'll stop ranting so this review doesn't start resembling Mad Libs but no joke, if you have the inclination to whip yourself into shape, quit all the lame weightlifting and cardio that you're attempting to do on your own. This class will ensure that your body pushed to it's limits. Barry's Bootcamp recently opened in the ground floor of The Velocity building in The Gulch neighborhood and offers up stellar workouts in beautiful new space. I especially love the smoothie bar stocked with vegan rice protein! I enjoyed an Acai smoothie ($6) post bootcamp and am craving another one as we speak. The locker rooms are small but offer up ample locker space, showers, and are stocked with delightful toiletries. Nice touch. Beat me up and then love me with posh lotions and bath products. On to the workout: I was lucky enough to attend a class led by the owner Antonio who also possesses more energy than is humanly possible. He was definitely motivating but there were certainly moments where I uttered death threats under my breath. You may ask was my Cardinals ball cap sitting so low on my face? I'll tell you why... I WAS IN (insert expletive here) TEARS! Trust me, *I can strut in 5 inch platforms while carrying 2 pony kegs and not wince in pain or weakness and Antonio transformed me into a pool of sweat and tears. Between blasting calories through the not your average treadmill training to the brutal squats and repetitive weight lifting, Bootcamp ensures that no part of your physique is left out. *I measure strength by height of heels and number of kegs - very scientific. Memberships and packages are available or you may try a bootcamp session for $22. read more

Barry's Nashville - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Yup, its a teeny bit cheesy. You 'enlist' for a class and the rockin' roll club atmosphere on the inside is complemented by some sweet camouflage paint work. The half naked models/instructors on the wall make you blush like a school girl (um, one of the chicks is making DUCK LIPS in her professional trainer photo, my girl Libby and I could not get over laughing at that) and the actual instructors will make you blush even harder. Don't worry though, all that embarrassment is not for nought, those pretty people WILL make you hurt all $22 worth. I started class on the crazy posh woodway treadmill, I cannot stand tready's but if I have to run on one, let it be this monster - seriously cushy. Then tried to escape staring at my sweaty @ $$ self by moving to floor work, but you can't - the place is wall to wall mirrors (so you can compare your chub to all the super fit people?) I run short distances and am no stranger to a spin class or yoga session, so I survived, but no lie - people did LEAVE, if you aren't already in alright shape this might be too intense for you. There was some not-so-gentle encouragement, but our instructor never once pin pointed an individual to make you feel bad or anything. The facility itself is pretty awesome. One-time use coded lockers for your stuff, pretty locker rooms with face wash and fluffy great smelling towels. There is also a smoothie bar, but be forewarned if you eat super clean - I did see some store bought juices behind the bar, so I walked over to the Turnip Truck instead. All in all, a really good fit for the location its in. The Gulch crowd should really enjoy it. read more

Love the Barry's team! Glad to be back! They are incredibly sweet and knowledgeable! The two women at front desk this morning are absolutely Amazing and the trainers teaching the 6:15am the last two two days are wonderful!! Couldn't be happier!!! See ya tomorrow!! read more

I like this place and I like the energy. I love the workout and the science behind the methodology. I've taken about 30 classes and I only had one experience that made me not want to return. As a professional dancer with a degree in kinesiology and having lupus, i listen to my body and modify based on what my needs are and how I'm feeling. As a movement teacher I can understand calling someone out if they risk injury but this was not that. I made a slight modification to a movement to direct attention to my core instead of my hip flexor (because I was recovering from a recurs femoris avulsion fracture - or simply put a broken hip) seemed like common sense to not force the injury "to failure". On the loud speaker Josh continues to shout "i like what you are doing, great form but that's not what we are doing" until I realized he was shouting at me. I just stopped working out at that point and looked at him with confusion. I'm not going to risk my livelihood to be bullied by some bro. While this is going on there are literally people in the class who have no body awareness and are using weights way too heavy for them with their back so arched I'm hurting looking at them. I struggle to focus on my workout when there are people injuring themselves right before my eyes. It was like this in every class. Lots of egos and bad postures. He was condescending in his delivery and my opinion is he should have been more concerned with those new to exercise destroying their knees and QLs. He spent the beginning of the class looking in the mirror and flirting with clients when I would recommend he ask the class if anyone has any injuries or conditions that may need modifications. I would take anyone else's class but his. He's a total bro. I continued to go and changed my schedule to avoid needing to take his class. I share this to say, personally I don't think the structure at Barry's provides attention to detail for those new to exercise and would recommend a few personal training sessions before attending a class to learn basic form. The female instructors were great about providing modifications and would even show moves after class if you had questions. I do love the work out but it's not safe for people who have no body awareness. Maybe an introduction class could be the answer. read more

I went on a Wednesday where Abs & Legs I believe were the focus, but I could be wrong, because honest to goodness it was a great workout all-around. Do I love running on a treadmill? Not really. Do they make it fun? I mean let's not get carried away but let's also say it is a helluva lot more motivating here than on your own. I did Barry's once in LA and when I was visiting Nashville made it a point to visit. I'm so glad I did. I prefer to start on the floor with strength, as I feel I can move more weight before I hit cardio than vice versa. I definitely recommend if you live here and/or are visiting and need to work off all of the food and drink that Nashvegas has to offer. Sweat it out! And bring a friend. read more

I had only been to Barry's locations in Chicago, but when I was visiting Nashville and realized they had a studio, I figured I would check it out. Overall, my experience was decent. The staff members were friendly, and the workout was great (that treadmill incline though--oh man!) I did find the facility to not be quite as nice as the studios I've been to in Chicago (no cold towels after class, a smaller locker room, older-seeming treadmills). That being said, it was also $7 cheaper for a class in Nashville, so I can't complain about that. I also wasn't able to see myself in the mirror for the floor section of class, which was a little frustrating in that I wanted to ensure that my form was correct. (The instructor did eventually tell me I could move elsewhere, which was helpful). In any event, however, I would come back here, and it's a solid place for an amazing workout! read more

This is one of the best workouts you'll get in Nashville. The instructors are encouraging and try to push you. Pro tip, select a treadmill for your first set and you need to sign up online, which is a little annoying the first time around. The smoothies are expensive and not great, but there's a pretty good juice bar right by there. read more

This is the best workout ever Everytime we visit Nashville we always schedule in a bootcamp session Devin is awesome and so is josh Keep up the good work always fun read more

Barry's Nashville - Fun fun fun - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

The workout here is good, this review is for the customer service/ gym policies. The packages here are expensive -- I purchased a package and later moved to a different state for work before I could use the entire thing. According to Barry's fine print that means I eat the cost of the classes I couldn't use. I can't even transfer them to a different club. This seems insane to me, even Equinox who has the worst customer service on earth will let you cancel your membership if you move. So don't buy a class package here if you might have a significant life change coming up, because these people definitely won't help. So now I've wasted hundreds of dollars -- their suggestion to me? Give my classes away to people I know visiting Nashville. Wow, thanks. read more

I'm being a little generous with my rating because I *think* that I'll eventually like Barry's a lot. But right now I hate it. A lot. First thing you should know is that this place is hard core. Each class consists of time on a treadmill and time on the floor with weights. You may be thinking: why would I spend $20 to use a treadmill? Ohhhh you just wait and see! This is no regular run on the treadmill. We're talking steep inclines, lots of sprinting, sideways running and more creative torture methods. The weight portions are pretty standard except you're coupled over dying from the run you just did so of course it's harder! Now, I am by no means a runner. In fact, I absolutely 100% hate running. But I'm no stranger to intense cardio. That being said even their beginner's pace is killing me. We're talkin' my face is still bright pink almost an hour after class! I guess I must be a masochist because I bought 30 sessions just to ensure I'd keep going. If there's one thing I hate more than running it's losing money. The only thing that rubs me the wrong way is that their marketing is clearly effective. They've done a great job acting like a bad ass place where only hot people want to go. All the people in class are already fit, svelte, and good looking. And it seems like the instructors are trying a little too hard to be "hard core." But maybe I'm the only one who'd like an occasional encouragement with "YOU CAN DO IT!" instead of "WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T SLOW DOWN"? They clearly do not believe in positive reinforcement at Barry's Boot Camp! Free parking in the ramp next door. All that being said I'd encourage you to try out a class. You'll get a killer workout and you'll be glad you did! Now please don't make fun of me if you see me in class and I look like I'm about to keel over. read more

I really liked my first Barry's experience. I've been to several things of this sort and enjoyed it on a visit to Nashville. The staff was courteous and the facility was clean. Only caveat is that the whole thing is for moderate to fit people. I enjoy working out 4-6 days a week, but I can see where it would be a difficult challenge for someone who never works out. read more

I love Barry's and I am so happy Nashville has one! Classes are rarely packed and there is a parking lot across the street that offers free one hour parking making it easy to get in/out of downtown. There's a fab smoothie bar (PB+J with Kale) is my favorite and you can order ahead of time so your smoothie is ready and waiting for you after class. Anne Marie is my favorite instructor! read more

I just got back into working out and so I was a little worried after reading some reviews that I could actually make it through a class without embarrassing myself. I messaged Devin on Facebook and he reassured me that I'd be okay, he even offered to cover my first class! That made me feel so much better and not to mention I felt like the trainers already cared before I even gave them my business. Wonderful. Best workout of my life and I will definitely be back for more. Thank you Devin!!! read more

Great staff, clean amenities and heart pumping classes! Parking situation iskilnsd of a nightmare - but, just try the early morning classes!

It is really nice to have an easy "go to" fitness studio while on the road. Nashville seems to have grown since the time I lived here in 2000 and finding a body building gym that doesn't require a resident membership seems few and far between. I am thankful for Barry's and the ability to drop in. The consistent quality for travellers is a very good thing! read more

I've lived on top of Barry's for over two years now and I have never trained there once. I work out all the time but whenever I've tried to get any information from anyone there, they always tell me they can't help me. The last time I was in there at the one in the Gulch, a guy at the bar told me to go talk to the woman, and the woman told me she only checks people in and she gave me an email address, to email the manager who never responded back to my email. Guess I'll look elsewhere, just sucks when I live right on top of it. read more

Went here while we were in town for my bachelorette party. Similar setup as Orange Theory, you'll leave sweating for sure. High end gym with a smoothie bar and fully stocked bathroom. read more

Great mix of cardio and weights with high energy!

I have a love/hate relationship with Barry's. Love everything about it, the location-free parking across the street and good restaurants close by. The instructor - Josh Gamble- the best exercises, easy on the eye, and great motivator, and his music selection- is the main reason I go. They have yearly deals where you can buy unlimited classes for a discount, so the pricing is not bad! I've only taken the full body Sunday 10 am class, but let me tell you, damn! This is where I get to my hate. I hate cardio so when he tells me to run for 2 mins then sprint for 30 seconds, I almost wanna kill him. But I know I need it, and when I leave and recover, I secretly thank him for pushing me. But let's not tell him that. Best fitness in town! read more

Dropped into 3 classes via class pass while I was in town for the weekend. Overall the class itself was as good as classes I've attended in Chicago or Hollywood. The locker rooms/showers were a bit smaller than other locations I've been to, but they still offer Oribe hair products. The instructors seemed to know their students very well and were encouraging throughout class. read more

I absolutely love this place! It really is the best workout in the world. Every instructor I've had has been super encouraging and motivating and the music and ambiance helps too! Antonio and Alex are my favorite, but really they are all amazing. I never enjoyed running until I started taking classes at Barry's! So if even if you aren't a runner, I would still encourage you to go. The only downside is, it's expensive. You do get what you pay for though -- it's the best workout class I've ever been to. I just can't afford to go more than twice a month. Background story: I used to be too intimidated to try this place (even though I love working out) because I thought I wasn't cool or hot enough. I went with a friend my first time and I was so pleasantly surprised. I really misjudged! The staff is super friendly, helpful, and it didn't feel cliquey at all. I tried it through "class pass" and loved it! I have been going twice a month for 5 months! If I reach my 2.5 mile goal I always treat myself to a protein smoothie from their "fuel bar." Now THOSE are a good deal. $7 for really high quality ingredients and at least 30 grams of protein. The blueberry cobbler is my favorite! read more

Great workout great employees! Was here for work and dropped into a class they were extremely welcoming and explained the entire class to be prior as it was my first time participating in a Barry's class! Got a great sweat in and made sure to grab a delicious shake on my way out! read more

I'm an avid Barry's Bootcamp going and this is by far the WORST location of them all. I've never witnesses such shear stupidity before. I organized an event at the location and after months of planning and booking treadmills, upon arrival the location had NO IDEA that an event was taking place and the staff was extremely rude. I then had to show them each email exchange to prove that I was correct. After that incident in AUGUST I told the store manager about what happened and she was extremely apologetic and said that she would comp our group a free class as well as a shirt. I was appreciative of this gesture.... until it NEVER HAPPENED. After months of ignored calls, emails, and text messages it wasn't until NOVEMBER that they send the shirts... However they gave everyone the incorrect size AFTER ALL SIZES WERE GIVEN IN AN EMAIL. I'm blown away by the stupidity. Upon sharing that the sizes were incorrect I was then promised that new sizes would be shipped to everyone.. Only to be ignored... once again.. It's now JANUARY and a problem in AUGUST is still not resolved. I've never experienced this level of stupidity and lack of communication at a Barry's location.. EVER. If you're choosing a workout class in Nashville to go to... DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION. Pure Barre or literally any other place would be more welcoming. read more
