I had high hopes for Barry's - the website made it seem like such a welcoming and encouraging environment. Didn't feel that at all. It was fine, but no sense that they are trying to make a newbie feel welcomed or part of a community. Locker room was not nearly as comfortable or well stocked as I was led to believe as well. The workout itself was exhausting, but most places will exhaust you, not really a differentiator in this day and age. read more

It's a great workout just like everyone else said . Teachers are great and you are pushed pretty hard. However, The women's showers are not acceptable for a place so pricey. The are crammed - you can't move - simple as that! There are three showers and they are all miserable looking - they have space outside the locker room that they should use to expand the women's locker room and they should take one day to upgrade the showers. Also, as others said, for a place so expensive having us pay if we need to reschedule a class when there's room in the class is short sighted if you don't care to keep customers for more than 10 sessions. read more

I'm a Barry's fan. my favorite instructors are Layla and Rebecca for this location. I've taken them a couple times for the butt and legs classes. Usually by the end of their classes, I have trouble walking/sitting for the next couple of days. Both of them are very motivating and give such great workouts. as for the studio, it's my least favorite out of the three (noho & Chelsea). half of their lockers don't work. hopefully they fix the locks soon... read more

Simply put, Barry's is certainly expensive, but if you are able and willing to pay $34 for a class (or sign up for Classpass! If you don't know what that is, you should) then this is the best bang for your buck in terms of intensity, difficulty, and a no bullshit workout. I like to work out and I do it a lot, so I love that the people who frequent Barry's are those who are similarly dedicated to pushing themselves. If you're not going to try, or if you're going to be lazy then this might not be the studio for you, because you will feel out of place and probably won't be able to keep up anyway. On the other hand, if you're motivated by dark rooms, loud music, more sweat, and a high energy group of people, then Barry's is perfect. The facilities are a little bit cramped, sure, but it's NYC. Get over it. Staff is nice enough, haven't had many encounters with them but instructors are awesome! Noah's Butt and Legs class made me the sorest I've ever been in my life; I could barely walk for two days so as brutal as that sounds I definitely recommend that class! read more

Of all the workouts in NYC, Barry's is definitely one of my favorites. BUT, like a lot of the reviewers are saying here, the locker room at this location is seriously awful. It is dark, cramped, and the showers are covered in hair and grime. Plus NONE of the lockers actually lock. Last time I was in there, the doors to a few lockers were just LYING on the floor. I come to this location via Classpass, so I don't really mind, but if I was paying $34 for one freaking class, I would be livid about the bathroom situation. read more

Great classes. Pricey, but worth it. Barrett's Sunday class is my favorite.

Trust me--- I've done everything from random boutique classes to soul cycle & flywheel, barre, Bikram, cross-fit, and then some....and they all shine in their own ways. BUT the Truth is: if you're looking for the most effective workout--- if you're looking to SEE results in the mirror--- Barrys Bootcamp is where you need to put your dollar and time. read more

Good workout no doubt. This facility does not stand up to the cleanliness. Especially with the steep price tag. If you are not entering the locker rooms you may be ok. Treadmills seems to be older than other locations. Perhaps all Barry's locations should install water coolers or filters, you would think that is essential in workout locations. Every time I have have to ask people at the juice bar to fill your bottle. Hydration is important after a good workout. Not sure if this is deliberate to sell water bottles for $3. read more

I love it. It's not going to be for everyone though. If you can't run a mile it's going to be a huge shock to your system. Lots of running. And running hard. It's probably the shock you need though. It reminded me why I couldn't lose my baby belly - I simply wasn't working hard enough. Great music and great energy. I particularly love Courtney and Harley. My body has changed. I'm addicted. read more

First time at this location and the customer service sucks! I'm a NYRR runner and take classes to cross train and confuse my muscles in between races. Took class just Friday was purchasing water and the manager (unbeknownst to me) was the one charging my purchase and charged me for a class rather than water. I took it for granted to not really look at the receipt when signing but noticed the charge when my bank sent me a notification. I left messages and he never called me back just sent a email informing me a refund would be issued. How do you confuse the purchase of a bottle of water for a class and not call to acknowledge your error? POOR customer service. Won't ever go again. Watch all of your purchases GUYS! read more

Went here for my girlfriend's 31st birthday. birthday barrys with brunch. it kicked my ass and I loved it. I do like it hard and rough!

Still love the workout and enthusiastic instructors, but the facilities are in desperate need of some repairs. About half the lockers don't work and some of the treadmills are a little ratchet (the heartrate monitor metal detectors falling off, screens have some problems). For the prices that Barry's charges I think they should really have fixed these problems long ago. read more

Just the right amount of cardio and strength. You don't feel completely drained and exhausted afterwards but definitely not an easy class. The place is clean and the instructors are very professional! read more

Love the class and workout, and will definitely be back to Barry's and keep it on my regular rotation of workouts. With such a rigorous workout, I think they should leave more time to stretch at the end. It is not a priority and some students skip out early for the shower, and the teacher sometimes rushes through stretching at the end. read more

One of the best work out classes I've ever been to! Hoping a DC location opens soon!!!

I took a class with Luke S. in Southhampton and LOVED IT. I've taken classes in TriBeCa, Chelsea, and Noho before, but Luke's class was by far the best. His music playlist was absolute fire and his runs kicked my ass. When he shut the lights during the sprints, it really put me in the zone. When he announced he was teaching in TriBeCa, I was so excited, but I wish he'd have more classes available. Definitely my new favorite, would recommend to everyone. read more

Took my first class at Barry's Bootcamp Tribeca today with Natalie.It was amazing. I've taken HIIT, interval, and circuit style workouts elsewhere but this special. Some reviews complained about the instructors not making corrections but that was not the case in my class. natalie walked around and corrected me and several other participants during the course of the Strength workout. This workout kicked my butt and had my legs shaking during certain exercises. If you want cardio and strength in the same 60 minute class with minimal transition time, go here! read more

tough class but gets the job done. Made me run faster and more than I have my entire life but it was worth every drop of sweat.

Took a class with "joe". This was our first time. Really friendly. We were scared when we saw a bunch of treadmills and stinky workout equipment. Awesome workout. Wish alexei worked here and there was one in Oakland. read more

I strolled into class at 5am on a Tuesday! Of course, I thought the class would be empty. Who gets up at 5am to take the hardest workout in New York City? Well, the class was packed, and I am convinced it was filled because no class gets me as tired and sore as Barry's Bootcamp! #fitpublicist read more

I love this place! Always a challenging workout that motivates me like no other place! Great job Barry Baby!

I've been coming here for a few months, and I love the workout. It's a challenge, you sweat, and you feel great afterwards. I still go pretty regularly, but I can only give the place 2 stars because of the condition of the facilities. Every review on here speaks to the disastrous condition of the locker room and the overall cleanliness and state of the studio/equipment, and yet management hasn't done anything to address the issues. Considering the amount of money we pay for classes, smoothies, water, etc., it's an insult to the patrons to not provide a bare minimum of maintenance and upkeep. I can appreciate that the economics of a studio are different from a full service gym, but if you read the reviews on here, nobody's expectations are unreasonable. A few things for management to consider (I can only speak to the men's locker room): - The door on the men's locker room (where men walk around naked, and use the restroom) has been broken for weeks and doesn't shut... it's on the way to the women's locker room, so I'm sure there have been some uncomfortable moments on both sides of that door - The showers are awful. They're disgusting, in terms of cleanliness. The shower heads are the cheapest on the market, and pressure is super weak... have a plumber take a look. The bottles for the amenities need to be swapped out once in a while, they're gross (the bottles by the sinks too!) and falling apart. The mounts that hold the bottles are always falling off the wall... in fact, one shower doesn't even have all the amenities because the mount fell off weeks ago and was never replaced (I emailed the club directly at that time, but still not fixed!). The amenities are always out... why advertise that you have such great product, if they're always out?! - There is a melange of cleaning products (likely toxic) stashed all over the place... build a cabinet and put these things inside it. - Towels... always out of towels. - Lockers could use an update, no? And why not invest $50 for plastic/wood hangers you can put in each locker? Seems like a nice thing to have, and it's a cheap addition. Equinox has them and they're a life saver when you don't want to wrinkle those work clothes! - Overall cleanliness leaves A LOT to be desired, considering the expense of a class... maybe some of these fixes will help dress it up a bit. - Fans... why not put 1-2 fans in the locker room? People are sweating from the intense workout, then they have to shower and go to work, but the heat in the locker room is crazy, so they're sweating again before they even leave the place. An investment in air flow seems VERY affordable and the value you'd be providing is huge. I also made this recommendation months ago, when the heat of summer hit, but no word from management. - Your studio is FILTHY. Clean it up a bit! A coat of paint maybe? Wipe down the bases of the treads? There's literally a THICK layer of dirt and dust caked onto those things! Aside from the fact that many of us touch these surfaces when stretching, it can't be good to have a think layer of dust and dirt in a room where people are literally huffing and puffing for an hour every day! Again, I have to stress that the workouts are intense and anyone looking for a challenge will enjoy them. The trainers I've experienced are all good, and the juice bar and front desk staff seem ok to me. But I'm finally at my end with the overall condition of the facilities. Many of us can't go home to shower before work, or wherever we go after class, which means if we want to work out here, we need to do so in the locker room. Some understanding and efforts on the part of Barry's management would make the entire experience a more pleasurable and worthwhile one (I'm talking value - is the experience worth the cost?!). And regarding general cleanliness and upkeep of the studio and equipment... come on, this literally IS your business! I get that you're not in the "shower/locker room business", so MAYBE I could understand slacking a bit in that department, but the studio is where and why you make your money... make it awesome! I've been hesitant to write a review on here, but the situation with the broken door on the locker room is just insane and I had to speak up (do you want me to recommend someone to fix that door?!)... when I saw that these complaints are common and these things seem to be issues for everyone else, I felt a long, rambling, rant was necessary. In summation... please Barry's management, get with it. The competition in your space is really heating up and the number of high quality studios with equally intense workouts is skyrocketing. You're no longer the only game in town and unless you go the extra mile to provide a truly special experience for your patrons, they'll leave you for the next fad. I know this... I'm in marketing, this is what I do. read more

TL;DR: awesome trainers (love Lindsey and Scott!!), convenient location but the staff are rude and facilities aren't the best. Compared to my favorite location, Park Ave South, the facilities here are awful. I only come when there are truly 0 spots anywhere else. First of all, the locker rooms are in the basement - and there's no hiding that they're in a basement. Ceilings are low, it's pretty dark and dingy, and the showers often smell like mildew and it has zero ventilation, so you sweat as much post workout as you do during. Compared to PAS, the Fuel Bar and front desk also give you attitude whenever you ask anything. Some reviewers have complained about the old treadmills in the workout space, I haven't ever encountered any issues with the equipment. The problem is the layout - the room is small, there's a big column in the middle of the room and everything feels pretty cramped. Depending on the time of day, there will be people on the treadmill and others on the floor, and that makes the room seem even smaller. Facilities aside, the instructors here are amazing and I come to TriBeCa just to work out with Lindsey since she teaches quite often here. Scott is super encouraging, has a ton of energy and is just such a positive force overall. My favorite Barry's instructor, though, is Lindsey. She is extremely tough and doesn't let you stop - she'll yell at you if you're walking instead of running, for example, and always gives shoutouts to those hitting double digits on the treadmill. With her encouragement, I always feel myself doing better as class progresses. Her Butt & Legs classes are also notoriously tough; every time I've been, they're packed and I leave super sore. Come take a class with Lindsey! read more

I'd like to preface this post by saying this is the first ever business complaint I've ever written. I have been coming to Barry's sporadically over the last few years. The Tribeca location is by far the worst, but unfortunately, the most convenient for me. First off, the facilities are underwhelming. The locker room is very cramped, not clean and feels like a dungeon - it is not conducive to being a place you would want to shower in/get ready. Showers are often out of service, there are few if any outlets to plug in a hair dryer (I never found one), and most of the lockers are broken. While the instructors are kind and upbeat, the staff members at the front desk are unfriendly and do not make you feel like a welcomed or valued customer. In fact, one class I went to in Tribeca a few months back, I could not find a working locker. I went up to the front desk and asked them if they could hold my things there because class was about to start and I was having a difficult time finding a locker that would lock. The guy at the front desk told me that there are lockers that work and when I mentioned to him that I already checked and all the working lockers were taken, he told me to "look harder". I ended up leaving since I couldn't find a working locker and I did not want to leave my purse and laptop in an unsecure location in the middle of Manhattan. I was not given a refund and unimpressed by the way I was treated. My second and final incident at Tribeca was just the other day. I got out of a meeting early and decided to come to an earlier class right before the one I originally booked since I was nearby and wanted to finish my day early. I show up and asked to join the earlier class (which was practically empty). The girl at the front desk told me that they have a 12 hour cancelation policy and could not accommodate. I pointed out that the class was nearly empty and I didn't see the big deal with switching to the earlier one, I was not asking to cancel and not taking anyone's spot. With much attitude she told me that they would not make an exception to the policy - I can either buy another class to join the earlier workout or wait an hour for the class I signed up for. I go to many workout classes in the city and never have I experienced anything like this. What was the big deal? I was pretty taken back by the lack of customer service and the attitude of the staff. Thankfully, this was the last class in my package, since I walked out in that moment and plan to never return to Barry's again. If you're going to charge premium prices for a workout, you should have functioning and comfortable facilities and treat your customers like valued clients, not like pests. All in all, this type of experience just isn't for me. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Go here 3x a week and your body will CHANGE! This is an amazing work out and it never gets easy! I am giving Barrys tribeca and chelsea 5 stars but there is one issue...the womens bathrooms. Only about 15% of the lockers actually lock. This is an easy repair if they would just make it happen! read more

i did the full body workout, which was great. 50 minutes sure go by fast during interval training! lightest weights they had were 8 lbs, so it definitely pushes you hard! read more

As a pretty fit person (3:30 marathon), workout 5+ times a week, I was disappointed in the hard core abs class. I prefer classes in the morning vs. working out on my own because most classes I've been to make me work harder than I'm capable of on my own at 5AM. However I felt the need to hit my Equinox after Barry's and do 20min or so more of abs to actually really feel anything. Too much emphasis on odd and awkward motions. Probably decent if you're the housewife type who isn't really looking for an intense workout. Wouldn't recommend to runners or athletic people in general. read more

Great work-out but lack-luster facilities and no customer service. I walked in today, was asked if it was my first class, given a waiver and then off I went. The three gentlemen sat down through my entire check-in, didn't offer to tell me where the lockers were or show me around. I had to ask where the lockers were and then ask a girl downstairs how to use them, and then assume that where everyone was standing was where my class would be. There was also maintenance equipment unlocked in some of the lockers and just felt dirty. The women's locker area I avoided as it looked like an underground cave in an anything-but-cool way. The workout itself was fine, though was difficult to hear her with the loud music. Not giving up on Barry's but definitely going to check out the other locations in NYC. read more

Barry's literally kicks your butt! But it feels so good after, and it's fun! The cons are that it's a little pricey and tends to be crowded. Patrick is the best instructor, and their Simply PB smoothie is so good! read more

Overall I enjoyed myself I just believe the equipment to be extremely worn down in the Tribeca location the instructor was amazing yet lack attention to detail when it comes to form I guess you get what you pay for and I'm not totally upset for what I got read more

This IS truly a bootcamp. Strict rules to start out, and an extremely hard and challenging program pretty much force you to get into shape, which is what people like me need! read more
