I can see all the hype around Barry's Bootcamp. You'll see around you, super young, fit millenials, who are there to crush their workout. Already you feel this vibe of confidence and it can be intimidating, but I guarantee you feel superior part of this. I feel super pumped to workout when I step in the infamous"red room". This awesome night club-like, dark room vibe to amp up your workout and focus with blaring loud music to drown out your senses really helps. I'm not a runner, I absolutely hate cardio, but I think at the end of it I had a runner's high. The strength moves are really awesome conditioning. Like what some of the reviews may mention, it might not be as helpful to beginners because those that aren't aware of how to do certain workouts might not know how to perform the instructed exercise correctly as the instructor doesn't spend as much time to show and perform how it's done. But if you have some basic knowledge, you'll be fine. What was really nice is that before it begins, if it's your first time the instructor will meet with you to explain how the treadmill works and the instructions during class, and it's really nice because I got a shoutout for my first class and working hard, it was really welcoming. There's the flex room where you can stretch and even some weights if you're not done your workout, but you should feel like death after the intensity. The change rooms are so sleek. They've got fancy shampoo, conditioner, cleanser, body wash -- if you want to straighten your hair there's a hair straightener, nice quality hair dryer, and feminine use stuff. I love their bath towels and wish I could nab one home haha. Oh ya, no need to bring a lock because it's a combo you can set. Didn't do the Fuel Bar shake option, but very cool concept to pre-order and then have your shakes ready after you're done your workout. Clever idea. All in all, would do it again, the only thing that really sucks is how expensive it is, but it's a great investment in yourself and for your body. read more

Been a while since I tried a fitness botique studio, and Barry's definitely does not disappoint. Their customer service is on-point, the classes can be made beginner friendly, but also encourages you to challenge yourself and really push past your limits. The energy while inside the red room knows no bounds, and the post-workout shower always hits the spot. I would highly recommend trying out this space for yourself if you have never tried it! read more

Barry's Toronto - Trainers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm sure everyone has heard of Barry's. As a worldwide chain it brands itself as the original strength and cardio HIIT workout. As someone who's done many many HIIT classes at another fitness studio, I actually felt intimidated to try Barry's for the longest time. I had the opportunity to try a class as I received a complimentary pass from an event I attended. Signing up for a class is simple, you choose the spot you want to start at and rotate between the tread and floor portion making sure you stay at the same number you selected. I always start with cardio so I chose to be on the treadmill first. The Barry's studio is equipped with all you need - washroom with amenities, showers (only 4), towels, and lockers. All you need to do is show up with your workout gear and an attitude to work hard. The studio also has Barry's branded gear for sale as well. This particular studio is on the second floor - the main floor is occupied by the Fuel Bar. Price wise, Barry's can be quite pricey. The classes are not cheap but you likely will expect to see results if you go consistently. The Barry's brand itself, I find, caters to a more intensive fitness focus crowd - everyone is there to work out and get a good workout in. There is primarily a younger demographic who go but I saw people of all ages attend my class as well. In terms of the workout, I did the Run x Lift (total body) class. The class can be beginner friendly but it likely is important to know how to do basic weight exercises as it can be difficult for the instructor to correct your form during the workout. The instructor does call out a speed range on the treadmills and you can choose how heavy to go on the weights portion. During my class we switched stations three times. The workout itself can be tough if you push yourself. There is not much time to rest and is non stop except for the times when you switch stations. Expect to be motivated by the instructor, the loud music, and others around you. It can be difficult if you are completely new to HIIT workouts to follow. For me, it definitely was a good workout! Make sure to stop by the Fuel Bar on the main floor for a post workout smoothie! Overall, I totally get the hype for Barry's and why people love it. A bit pricey for me but I definitely won't mind going from time to time! read more

If you're looking for high end boutique fitness, this is it. The first location in Canada, Barry's at Richmond boasts a smoothie bar, towel service, a stretch room with vibrating foam rollers and a basic supply of personal care products in their change rooms (gendered only). COSTS Trying them for the first time at the start of the year, I was able to maximize a 3-class deal, where you pay $60 for the 3, versus $32 for a single. After you do try you first class, they also send you a promo for another deal so long as you redeem it with 48 hours. SPECIALTY Now for the actual workout: Barry touts itself as one of the most intense workouts you'll ever complete, because, instead of doing interval training with dumbells or body weight, you alternate with jogs, runs and sprints on the treadmill to get the heart rate way up and work up a sweat. REGISTRSTION How do the logistics work? When you sign up online and reserve your class, you're given something like a workout stations chart. There's a row of treadmills to the back of the fitness studio, and risers everywhere else. To reserve your spot, you select whether you'd like to begin with sprints or with weights. If it's not your day for cardio, there's also a row of risers that are designated as "double floor", meaning, no treadmill. Whatever you choose, if you're alternating, you start at a riser marker F3 for Floor 3 and when the time comes, you alternate to T3 for Treadmill 3. To get oriented, first timers should show up early to check in at the desk, where staff will also walk you through an illustration of the treadmill controls. WORKOUT Due to the high intensity, the sprints ARE as challenging as advertised. If you get lucky, your instructor may also ask that you use "Dynamic Mode" where the treadmills move via manual power, aka--yep, you guessed it, your legs! The good news for your burning legs is that sprints usually last 30 seconds, which is very tolerable. So while the sprints are tough, it may not be the toughest workout out there if cardio is your jam. If you're intimidated by the sprints and the jog, I'd recommend that you talk to your instructor about modifying the prescribed speed range--jogs are 4-6, runs are 7-9 and sprints are 10+, and start where your comfortable, increasing your pace by 2 levels each time. This is something I've done in my first two classes, because I have a fear of flying off the treadmill and bowling someone over on the riser. When you're on the floor, expect to do anything from leg raises, squats, burpees to resistance training. The moves vary depending on the day of the week, and all classes that day will target lower body for example, with the instructor's choice of moves. Since I became aware of Barry's by way of Asics' free HIIT class taught by Steven Bole, Asics Ambassador and Barry's instructor, I only ended up attending his classes. Out of the three classes I tried, my favourite was his Friday total body. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT Unfortunately, the only thing I wasn't a fan of, is how squished the changeroom is, proportionate to the volume of folks using the facilities---i.e. someone's glass water bottle was shattered during my first visit because there's one bench in the changeroom and it was doing double duty as a storage and sitting surface. Then again, it's winter, so the squished sense I got will likely vanish in warmer months, when people are not carrying twice the amount of gear around. If you plan on visiting soon and you don't need to change into your gym clothes, there are lockers right outside the fitness studio that are less crowded. Or, since Barry's has a stretch room full of foam rollers etc. try taking your time cooling down and stretching while waiting out the crowd. BONUS If youre a fan of gym selfies, Barry's branding game has got you covered. There's wall decal and gold carpet by the entrance, a mural upstairs plus props for all your gram needs. Finally, if you can't find a class on a stat holiday, chances are Barry's will be open---I've been to an 8am class this past Family Day and someone told me they've visited Christmas day. So next time you don't know what to do on a stat, consider spending part of it at Barry's! read more

Love the classes but do not order from the smoothie bar. Both my friend and I got severe food poisoning on different occasions (about 2 weeks apart) from drinking a smoothie with spinach in it. read more

OMG my legs were jelly after my first few classes. This place is no joke! Everyone is super fit at this place and it can be very intimidating at first. Inside the room the red lightning, dark mood and loud music feels like a club which is a great vibe. The workout is intense, lots of running which I personally don't like but after a few classes you do see yourself improve and gets slightly easier. The instructors do push and encourage but the first few classes are confusing, I didn't know the exercises and no one comes to help or instruct you on how to do it properly which is very discouraging. The women's change room is quite small and after work classes are packed, I can't even enjoy the nice amenities they have. But the cooling towels at the end of each workout is great. The classes are not cheap at all so I haven't been back but I can see how these workouts can be very effective. The smoothies at the bottom are amazing so delicious but again not cheap! read more

I'm hooked! Brendan, Steven, Karina and Michelle are my favourite go-to instructors. Especially Brendan, he's as good as they get. They're all super hype and they use positive reinforcement to get you going! The entire place is super clean and has everything you need after a good sweat. read more

I love this place. Such an intense workout. Nice facilities. Interesting workout concept: half treadmill half weights on the floor. I can feel myself getting stronger the more I go. The women's change room is kinda small. Only one bench to sit on and only one girl and all her bags can fit at a time. They have nice bath/shower products that always seem to be adequately stocked. Eucalyptus towels after your workout and sweat bags for your gross workout gear after. They also have a clothing store for cool Barry's swag. The motto on the wall is "work out hard and be nice to each other" which is nice. The lighting is dark and red and the beats are nice and loud and motivate you to push yourself. The atmosphere is kinda like a club. You can lose yourself and push hard in that atmosphere. Super effective. I think the lighting and sound are perfect. Michelle is an awesome instructor that gets you motivated. She remembers all her students' names which makes you feel welcome. I've tried 3 different instructors here. They will all, at some point, make you run backwards and sideways on the treadmill so try not to die. They have some crazy challenge if you do 16 classes in 30 days you get an exclusive "face yourself" sweatshirt. An expensive challenge for a sweatshirt but I'm curious to try it next time it happens--if I feel this great going 1-2 times per week I wonder how great I would feel if I did/survived 16 workouts in 30 days! 100% recommended. Currently my favourite place and I've tried quite a few. read more

Barry's Toronto - . - Trainers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I love Barry's - it is one of the best workouts I have ever done. I am always exhausted after doing one of their classes. It's part running on a treadmill (Woodways) and part floor exercises with weights. The instructions are clear as the instructors announce what you should be doing. The music is fun but pretty loud and they sometimes turn off the lights in the studio - but everything gets you pumped up. Will definitely be back to sweat it out! It is annoying that there is a structural pole in the middle of the studio that kind of cuts the room in half. Additionally, it's cruel to make you walk down stairs after class as the studio is on the second floor and the smoothie bar (known as the Fuel Bar) is on the main floor. read more

I am shocked how strong this brand is. Went to the Hollywood location before this one, and it's amazing how similar they are. From the facility, to the trainers, to the front desk, to the clientele, the equipment, EVERYTHING. And it's all good. One thing that makes me nervous about Barry's though is the treadmills. Of course if you're doing it right, you're pushing it. But there's a dangerous moment between sprinting at 12+ mph, and reaching for the keypad to ramp down after the sprint, that makes me uneasy. Maybe it's just my perception, but it doesn't seem like there any slip to these treadmills. In other words, it seems it's very unforgiving if you you get off-speed for a moment, and I feel like I'm going to eat shit at any second. But I never have seen anyone else hit the deck here, maybe I'm just being ridiculous. However one thing is paramount: I broke my record and hit 650 calories burned today. I'd like to think I'm 100% self-motivated but I have a strong suspicion the awesome environment and killer music had a lot to do with it! read more

Great workout and facilities. A little on the pricey side. Workout is intense and the instructors push you hard. Sometimes hard to follow the instructions due to the noise and set up, but once you go a few times you get the routine. Conveniently located if you work downtown or in the financial district read more

Loved my first class here with Chris and will definitely return! Take the time to read the other reviews as it was really helpful. I also tried F45 the same week and found Barry's to be far better as it wasn't so cramped, the amenities are luxe, and the stretching room makes a big difference in recovery. Key points: - This is not for beginners i.e., those new to weights. The classes move too quickly to learn or correct form, and I can see how easy it is to get carried away and throw your back or forget to hold your core tight when it's needed - Definitely use the flex room to stretch your quads, hamstrings, and calves or you won't be able to walk the next day. Give the vibrating foam rollers a try! - I hate running, but it went better than I thought! Chris came to push my speed up during sprints (grr), but my treadmill neighbours were super friendly and encouraging with fist bumps and said Chris is a hard instructor, so good job - thanks, neighbours! :) - The e-mail for the 3-class pack came right after the workout, and it's a good deal at $75 with one year expiry. The going rate for drop in is $32 - They have a summer promo where if you do a class on Sat, you can get a VIP guest card to bring someone in for free the next day on Sunday if you both come I highly recommend Barry's as long as you know your body and your limits! read more

In terms of boutique fitness classes I didn't like this place as much as other ones (F45, Factory). The Actual Class: I liked the idea of their class structure, where you spend approximately half of it on cardio and the other half on strength. They alternate between these two throughout to continue switching things up. When you sign up you're assigned to a treadmill and a workout station and these are what you'll be sticking to throughout the class. What's special about their treadmills is that you don't have to press "up" or "down" to change the speed like you normally would, you can just punch the "10" (mph) and it will quickly bring you up into a sprint. Throughout the cardio blocks the instructor will give you ranges of what you should be doing: jogging, running, or sprinting. Later on you might switch up the incline %. On strength we worked with barbells and resistance bands. I didn't really like these exercises as much as I found they were more traditional weight exercises you would do at the gym that isolate a single muscle group - barbell curls, lunges, planks. The studio itself has soulcycle vibes, with its loud music and dim lighting. Price: The classes are pretty expensive at $32 + tax a class. Facilities: They do however, have really nice luxe facilities. The change room is extremely spacious and has its own locks attached. There are marble counters along with a variety of things such as qtips, hair elastics and deodorant. They also have fairly high end hair appliances (GHD straightener and hair dryers). Downstairs on the first floor (gym is on the second), there is a smoothie bar - they taste amazing but come at a bit of a price tag at $9+. Overall, I'd give the workout a 3/5 but I think they put in so much effort at pampering you with it's nice facilities that it deserves the added star. read more

Yep. It is as addictive as they claim. But this is definitely not for beginners. I am hardly an expert but I've been lifting weights and doing hiit training for a few years now so I am familiar with most moves and correct form. That is key to getting the most out of Barry's. If you aren't familiar with that then you will for sure hurt yourself. I love the challenge of this place and can see why other trainers come here for their workouts. Some trainers offer a 5 min complementary stretching routine after class which is nice. But not all do and some are very brief. So it just depends on who you get that day. I liked Chris and Steven's style of teaching a lot. But all the classes are great. The crowd is definitely mostly young fit millennials. Classes are expensive for sure. But you definitely get the service to make up for it. It's the little things. Like clean functional equipment. Well stocked and maintained changing rooms. Oribe products. Cool towels after your workout. It makes it worth the money in my opinion. They don't offer any beginners discount. But after my first class they did email me with an offer to purchase a 3 pack of classes for a discounted rate (about $25 a class) which was a good deal. I wish it had been a 5 pack! The shakes are all awesome. And again. Although pricey. They are yummy. I just wish there were more unsweetened. Or non whey protein options. Overall. This is a great place if you know what you are doing. Well worth it. read more

The best Barry's Bootcamp location I've been to! Amazing stretching room with vibrating foam rollers and plenty of room. Machines are brand new and feature easier to use buttons making skipping from a 5mph jog to a 8mph run to a 12mph sprint easy! Facilities were clean with Oribe shower products and plenty of lockers. I took a class with Steven and I look forward to visiting Toronto again to take another one of his classes! read more

Barrys has trained me and progressed my fitness beyond the imaginable for me. I am stronger, faster and happier as a person since I started routinely coming to the classes. I highly recommend this place for ALL levels of fitness and I am by no means bashing the institution - I highly praise this place and think it has so much potential to always improve. Truthfully I've never been this fit and motivated in my life. However, since I have been coming for a while now, I've started to notice a couple things that do not sit right with me and I think there is some room for improvement. 1. Lack of injury prevention methods I find that there is not enough time for warm up (definitely depends on the instructor) and I think this is something that should be consistent. Before we start doing crazy inclines and sprints - I think this program would benefit from a 2-3 minute circulation kick stretch for running and even verbal reinforcement after the quick stretch of "ok lets get everyone warmed up and start in a jog". I've been a runner for years and I've both experienced and witnessed long term injuries from avoiding this simple methodology. Not to mention, I have spoken to people who said they came out of the class with a hamstring pull and I know that's not something Barrys would ever want to take place. 2. Adjusting the language I have spoken to people (and it's something I recently noticed) that what should be considered is fixing the way the instructors communicate running speeds. I know examples of people who have left because they feel discouraged by the simple fact that we are calling running at a 7 as "beginner" and they feel that they are not improving. It is impressive that people even attempt to run - especially those who have limited running experience. I think this would encourage new people and be less intimidated / discouraged when we call a fairly decent running speed as beginner. For weights - I think it's wonderful that some of the instructors have their own opinion of what is considered a "medium" or "heavy" weight. I am sure this helps many people who regularly lift understand their own subjectivity. However I'd like to emphasize "subjectivity" here. I have been told many times that "12" is the minimum for heavy weight. If I were to use a 12 for some of those exercises I could really hurt myself or even compromise my form. I am now confident picking out the weights that best suit me, however, for a while (especially when I was new to barrys) I was really compromising my form and repetitions by following this language. I think remaining neutral and reinforcing that light/medium/heavy is subjective creates a more inclusive environment. 3. Celebrating all accomplishments/ people I understand that community is huge especially with the metropolitan fitness industry. However, I have begun to notice a cliquey aspect of Barrys and I actually find this to be really disappointing. I find that Barrys prides itself of being inclusive and is vocal about this as an open community, however I feel that some of their actions exemplify exclusivity. For example, there is an athlete at Barrys who sprints at the highest level at the highest incline. This person is a regular client and is almost always celebrated for their fitness achievements. What I find frustrating here is that others go unnoticed - especially those who finally can get to a sprint of lets say 10 or 11 on flat ground. This is something that should be celebrated and I don't think Barrys is setting the best example in this sense. Also, I would hate for Barrys to have a cult-like reputation and I believe when you only celebrate a "type"/ "specific" person it kind of evolves into that setting. I have heard friends, colleagues, family mention their concern about this reputation and I would hate for that to be the example Barry's is setting for such a wonderful program. . . . I hope this feedback is useful and again, I LOVE the program and believe some of the greatest businesses have room for improvement. read more

As context for my review, I've visited all the top studios in Toronto, a few group fitness classes at Equinox, and many of the famous studios in New York, as well as Barry's classes in NYC and San Francisco. For first timers, the short review is that for the casual fitness person, Barry's will be the most intense and most rewarding fitness experience you've ever done. The experience is priced accordingly. It's no surprise to me that I see trainers from many other studios come to Barry's for their own workouts. Toronto's studio definitely ranks amongst the top across three categories: (1) Quality of Fitness Programming The ethos of the studio is that you get out of the experience as much as you put into it. The instructors at Barry's have been able to strike the delicate balance of pushing you outside of your comfort zone, while not forcing you to do things that are so far outside of your limits that you'll get injured. The trainers all come various fitness backgrounds with either 10+ years of experience, or training / development from some of the other top flight studios in the US and Canada. (2) Continual Growth Every month, the Barry's team experiment with process improvements (e.g. a pre-class session for new comers on weekends / busy class times, continual check in at the start of any class for injuries, standard post-class stretch session in the stretch room) as well as new weight workouts or treadmill sequences to keep you engaged and entertained as a repeat visitor. Chances are if you saw something you didn't like or felt like could be improved, they may have already addressed it since your last visit. (3) Community The trainers and staff make the time and effort to get to know you. I always feel welcome at the studio by everyone from the Fuel Bar, to the Front Desk to the Trainers. For those who may have tried it once but didn't enjoy the class, try different instructors before making a decision. As I've gone, I've come to realize which instructors I like for which classes and what kind of experience I can expect from each one! Depending on how I'm feeling that day or week, sometimes I preferred to be yelled at. Other days I prefer to be chill. Try our Chris, Karina, Eva, Michele, Steven and Darcy. You will learn over time which instructor jives best with you and how you are motivated. read more

My first Time was here in Toronto. Hardest workout I've ever done! I keep going back. Encouraging and challenging environment! They push you hard if you're up for it, but respect your limitations if you're not advanced. Highly recommend!!! read more

I don't get the group of mean girls all ganging up on Barry's and Michelle as an instructor. Sure sometimes an instructor will ask about injuries, but as an adult it's your job to tell them if you have any as well. I've been a loyal member since they opened and cannot say enough good things about the quality of the studio, workouts, instructors and staff. Every instructor has their unique style, but they are all awesome and you get out what you put in. The workout is intense, but goes by fast, in a super fun atmosphere. read more

Barry's Bootcamp is like crack for workout junkies. It is addictive and I am hooked! I finally took the plunge as I got a free class at the Richmond location by signing up for ClassPass for a free one month trial ($32 freebie, woot woot!) My first class came at 8 am on a Sunday morning (FULL BODY) with Michelle. I was tired while I walked to the studio and wondered what I was getting myself into, but immediately perked up when I walked into the beautiful studio. The gals at the front desk are super nice and not judgemental. The class itself is great.... LOVE LOVE LOVE the red light. As a marathon runner, the 55 minute class is great to use once a week as a tempo and strength workout. You do sprints and runs, then jump off and do strength training, then jump back on and sprint some more. There is about 25 minutes of running and 25 minutes of strength. The change room is oh so beautiful...such a nice change after Ghetto Goodlife. Large, plush towels and all the amenities. Warning - this workout is NOT suitable for beginners! If you are a beginner to fitness, you may not be able to finish the workout and will lose your money. Just about everybody in the class that I observed were advanced, with tight and toned bodies. I can't wait to try the Abs and A** class next!!! read more

Hard Pass. See below reviews - you'd expect consistency from a global brand, especially one that claims to be "The Best Workout in the World®". read more

This is a beautiful studio, with great amenities and awesome clothing. The smoothie bar is located downstairs and is really expansive. I love that they had a water filter right in the locker room. However, that being said your probably wondering why this is a 1 Star rating. Boutique classes come at a cost- this one was specifically $32 and while you pay for the space and amenities I come for the class. Michelle was the instructor and I began on the floor- we did crunches, v sit ups and lots of toe touches for 10 minutes. I don't know about you but that's an ab workout you can do at home without an instructor present, nothing interesting at all and completely all on your back. She didn't ask once about injuries and with pain in my lower back and knees it became laborious to continue with these movements over and over. I clearly was in pain and kept stopping but wasn't offered any modifications. I also looked around and based on Michelle's instructions most people were confused on when to start a movement for those on the floor and when to end based on her instructions for those on the treadmill. She was unable to keep command or control of the room at all. I hopped on the treadmill and am aware that running due to my PTs instructions is not encouraged at incredibly fast speeds but incline is the best way to go. The woman next to me continued to ask what are we doing? What speed? Because once again Michelle had no command of the room. The 10 minute treadmill work out included a run backwards and sideways. My friend who came with me didn't feel comfortable running backwards and Michelle came over and physically moved her rather than asking her permission. She then went and called me out 4x by saying "I bet this isn't how they do it NYC", " Is this how you workout in NY Taara" which neither my friend or I found to be funny or necessary as we did not know what was being asked of us due to the lack of command and clarity. Michelle was overall an uninteresting teacher when it came to movements, taking care of injuries or individuals and incredibly condescending in her tone the multiple times she used my name and a comparison to NYC studios. While I do live in NYC and receive incredible classes from expert instructors, the comparison was one she offered but remains to be seen. If you go here make sure you are ready to spend the money, time and energy to put up with this child like behavior. read more

Poor experience compared to NYC Barry's classes I have been to. Michelle's class lacked clarity, command, and proper instruction/modification for those with injuries. Amenities were beautiful but everything else did not live up to my expectations. I do not recommend Michelle's class and hope that other instructors provide more care for those in their classes especially considering the steep price that we pay for this boutique experience. read more

The best workout I've had in a long time! It's the perfect combination of running and low weight high rep lifting. Including body weight exercises. The trainers are all wonderful, especially Chris, Stephen and Karina!! The music is great, and the staff are all super friendly. It's really like a little family in there and I find it very welcoming and encouraging. The trainers have a list of people's names by the music and they try and address the people in the class by name, which feels like they care. They are great with first timers... and overall I feel so much fitter and stronger after only a few weeks of training. The space and amenities are clean and well kept, with ghd hairdryers, straighteners, great products and fluffy towels. Though the ladies locker room can be crowded at busy times... nothing more than any other fancy gym with showers. Highly recommended!!! I love barrys Toronto! read more

Awesome workout! I'm not a runner, and haven't jumped on a treadmill for 5 years so i was very nervous. There were times where i wanted to get off cause i felt like my lungs would collapse but i'm glad i pushed through and finished the entire workout. It is very intense--I had worked out consistently 4 times a week doing contemporary/athletic Pilates and barre before trying Barry's, so i feel like that helped me get through the class, so be prepared to challenge yourself!! I still get anxious before going to any class knowing i have to run lol! My instructor was Eva and she was great! really good pace and kept the class moving really well! My only con (which i dont think needs a star taken off for) is I like when instructors take the time to get to know your name. I just personally feel its a good motivator and it encourages you to push even harder when you get that extra recognition. No biggie though, every studio has it's own style of workouts! read more

AMAZING WORKOUT! I am HOOKED. The facilities are sleek, clean, and inviting! You enter the space and have the option of placing a smoothie order to be waiting for you after class! I love the Skinny P.B Smoothie! Im pretty sure first timers get a free smoothie from the Re-Fuel Bar. Take escalator up to the main landing, boutique and front desk where you can check in with the friendly staff. The locker rooms are equipped with everything you need for before and after workout, deodorant, mouth wash in case you meet a cutie, hair dryer, hair product, showers are stocked with what feels like luxurious products including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a creamy face wash. The locker rooms could stand to have more space as it is usually a tight squeeze with people getting ready for class. There is a stretching room that offers mats, rollers, vibrating rollers, and just a good space to get warm for class. The class itself is INCREDIBLE, its a combination of treadmill work and floor work with weights. While all instructors are wonderful my favorite instructor is Eva Redpath who is able to push me farther than I think I can go. I was intimidated by the Barrys Fit Fam at first because of the intensity of the workout, but they welcome you right in and I most definitely have drank the juice! The work that I do at the Barrys downtown Toronto studio has informed the work I do alone at my regular gym. If you are contemplating taking a class here DO IT, you wont regret it and you will be SURPRISED at what you can accomplish in the red room! read more
