This was the best gym I've ever been to. They cover all the details (hair ties, gum, bobby pins, hair dryer, smoothies). The staff is also soooo nice. SOOOO NIIICCCEEE. I drove an hour for a special event at this place and now I'm thinking I'll have to make another trip! Totally worth it to go walk on the beach after and see the sunset over the water. I can't walk today but I think that's the point! Great workout. The instructor is a super woman because I don't know how she talked and showed us all those exercises at the same time. It was a really fun and motivating environment. I was terrified of doing a bootcamp and I had a really great time. The absolute best & fanciest part--- they had a freezing cold washcloth infused with essential oils available for us as we walked out of class. Amazing! read more

Hands down the best work out class in LA, Maybe the world. If you want immediate results, both burning fat and toning muscle, this is the place for you. Great music, great instructors, every class is different and focuses on different body parts each day. Switch between Cardio and Weights/Resistance throughout class, HIIT training. Amazing, must try it! read more

Been coming for about a month. Used to go to Circuitworks but this has a lot of advantages for me. First off, there is plenty of free parking. Next it has a huge lobby with smoothie bar, nice locker rooms and lockers where you don't need to bring a lock. There is a giant stretching area with plenty of foam rollers, etc. The staff is friendly and the instructors have all been great so far. Really good cardio plus strength training with no tricks. read more

Went to Barry's bootcamp for the first time with my daughter last Sunday and Monday whilst I was visiting LA.Loved the whole experience, front desk staff very welcoming. One of the best workouts I have ever had and Sean who took both classes was just amazing-one of the best trainers I have ever come across in 30 years - motivating, very professional and most of all, great fun! Thank you Sean. read more

Wow. First of all this place is like a palace. It's clean, it's huge, it has every amenity you could possibly need. The front desk staff are AMAZING. They are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely appear to enjoy being there. Alex specifically has always been great to me. She makes the extra effort to remember your name and what you like. Oh, and if you aren't taking Chandlers classes then you are really really missing out. All the instructors are amazing but Chandler has a special energy that makes me personally never want to quit. When she tells me I can do more, I believe her! She also makes an effort to remember me by name and tells me she loves seeing me in class. Don't get me wrong though, every single instructor is amazing. I have yet to take a class I didn't absolutely love. I couldn't ask for more in a gym. Barry's Venice makes me want to work out 8 days a week (and I HATE working out so this is a huge compliment). read more

Hands down the best workout venue in LA! Amazing trainers, nicest front desk staff you can imagine, and oh my GOD the workout kicks your butt! You honestly can't go wrong with any trainers here, every single one will give you one tough workout, and somehow make it go by super fast. The location is amazing - so huge, clean, and beautiful! read more

i went to barrys for 5 years in la and nyc - during the pandemic they did NOT credit any classes and i had just bought a 20 pack before the lockdown - so i lost a bunch of money since i couldn't attend class (the business was closed!) and the people that work there didn't enforce masks, checking vax cards or leaving doors open - thanks to this experience i have been working out with weights at my home, i've never looked better or felt better about myself read more

Gym is super clean and fancy. The class is pretty prescribed, loud, fast-paced and intense. If you like this sort of thing, you'll be fine. If you don't, you'll hate being called out for not running or lifting fast enough. read more

I've done circuit training classes at a few different Westside gyms but I can confidently say Barry's tops them all. The facilities/amenities, front desk staff, passionate/world class trainers, overall cleanliness, and the high-level equipment available to members really sets this gym apart from the rest. I have a to give a special shout out to trainer Sean Williams who time and time again pushes me to perform my best. I started taking classes with Sean earlier this year and my fitness level and overall self-confidence has dramatically improved -- I can honestly attribute much of that to Sean's relentless focus on helping his client's reach their fitness goals. He brings a unique energy, passion, and fun loving spirit to every class he teaches and it really shows in the results of his clients. Sean is a special talent and easily one of the best trainers in LA! If you're in the area and looking to take your fitness to the next level, Barry's (and Sean Williams!) will get you where you want to be. read more

By far the best Barry's in LA. I've tried weho and Sherman oaks many times. I am a legend member and have gone every day for the past 30 days. Sean is the absolute best. Alex is the most motivating. Parker destroys abs and plays the best music. read more

Hands Down The Best Barry's in the States!!! Here's why:- It all starts with Salema the Studio Manager greeting you at the front making things happen, getting crushed by Ingrid and finishing off with a new shake by LoLo, aptly named LoLo's Lavender shake. A refreshing, natural herb, chocolate, berry sensation!! Don't miss out on this guys and order in advance!!! read more

This location is gorgeous love the stretch room and there's tons of parking. Space is so lovely I might just hang out after to do work. Love that Barrys is finally WESTSIDE!! Been a fan for years, having started in SF and have packages at Miami, SF etc. The workout is highly motivating, instructors are great and front staff super friendly. I do this w my hubby and he loves it too, it's our date activity then food. If we can't get a sitter we usually bring our one year old, each take class other watches baby, and everyone's really friendly read more

Amazing place to get an amazing workout in! I have taken many group fitness classes with many different trainers and no one compares to Sean Williams. Sean is hands down the best trainer I have ever had! Sean is so passionate about what he does and you see that in every single class of his. His energy is amazing and it keeps me going!! Not only does he push me to my limits every class, but he keeps me laughing along the way. He also makes himself open and available after class to talk to and get to know clients, which I think is very important. Also, the facilities are beautiful and amazing! Everything is brand new and clean. The front desk staff is very friendly and are super helpful if you are a new client. Go to Barry's and take a class with Sean Williams!! read more

First time at a Barry's and this place was top notch. Everything is a premium feel and workout was killer!

This place is the best booty-kicker in town! Clean bathrooms and showers, chilled eucalyptus towels for when you exit the class, amazing music and cool lighting. Sean's class speaks to me, but all the instructors are great! read more

This is the best workout on the west side. Each workout consists of about 25 minutes of treadmill and 25 minutes of floor work (weights). They have really great, new treadmills. There is a huge parking lot behind the gym and an amazing stretch room upstairs with lots of foam rollers. read more

They cut the classes down here so it's too short of a work out. The other studios do a full hour but here as soon as you feel like you're getting into it and have great momentum the work out is over. They need to make these a full hour like the other studios. More people like me would go! read more

Let me start by saying that I'm a loyal Barry's customer. I have been attending since 2005, and have taken close to 1000 classes. I have been to every LA location and the London Central one. My favorite spot is the Sherman Oaks location. It's smaller than the others without all the extra amenities, but the instructors get to know your name, correct your form, and it's like a small community that I always look forward to seeing. But I have to say, Barry's Venice is a far cry from the Sherman Oaks experience. The venue itself is nice - big locker room, smoothie bar, photobooth, stretch area, etc. But the amenities can't overcome the subpar workout, which is what you're paying for. Let me explain: I purchased a number of classes for the Venice location, and since it has more amenities, the classes cost about 10-15% more than Sherman Oaks. I'd be okay with that, except that the workouts are ONLY 50 minutes instead of the 60 minutes at all the other LA locations. So basically, you're paying 10-15% more for 18-20% less working out. Moreover, this felt like a bait and switch, because when I purchased the classes, there was no indication they would be shorter than other locations. When I asked about the truncated classes, I was told that some of the first timers were turned off because 60 minutes was too much. That doesn't make a lot of sense. Barry's has a long tradition of 60 minute classes, and clearly, they were able to expand considerably. Their motto is "the best workout in the world"; Venice is more like - "an OK workout on the westside." And I say this because the trainers here are not nearly as strong as the other locations. I have taken half a dozen classes in Venice, and have NEVER seen an instructor correct form. In fact, when I look around the class, there are often people doing the movement completely wrong, which is a recipe for injury. This is the complete opposite of ShO. Take Erik Steffans class, for example. With a completely full group of 35+ people, Erik constantly corrects everyone's form. You will never see anyone doing a movement incorrectly, because he pays close attention. When I mentioned the lack of instructor form correction in the Venice location to the head of customer experience, she said that it would be brought up to the person who trains the instructors. Guess what? 7 weeks later, there has been absolutely no change. Barry's needs a QC person attending classes regularly. Or even better, ask experienced clients to rate new instructors and give constructive feedback. If instructors aren't living up to the Barry's name, then the brand suffers. There are so many places to work out in LA, and at $25/class, I'd rather not waste it on a workout I could do on my own. The Venice experience is completely impersonal. At the ShO location, all the instructors ask your name if they haven't met you before. Better yet, they remember your name, use it, and know your strengths and weaknesses. Not only does it feel like having a friend working out with you, but you're also getting better because they pay attention to the individual, even in a group setting. In Venice, none of the trainers ask your name. And even though they have a cheat sheet that corresponds to each person who is on a treadmill/bench, they never use it. That leads to an experience where they mostly just demo a movement for the class and yell out speeds. You definitely aren't getting the "individual in a group setting" workout. My biggest gripe is that, unlike other locations, there are no sanitary wipes to clean up the bench area or treadmill. I have brought this up multiple times and was told it would be fixed immediately. I was told the wipes were ordered. It's been 6.5 weeks and I went last night - still no wipes. There are few things more embarrassing than leaving a pool of sweat for the next person using the bench. And while I take multiple towels with me, using them just smears sweat all over the area. Not sure what takes so long to order wipes, but couldn't they just go to Vons and pick some up? Adding on to that, in at least half the classes I've attended, people take their sweaty mats at the end of class and put them in the stack that says "clean mats only." Once one person does it, the entire class follows. That means the next class is getting dirty mats. I'm giving the location two stars - one star because I received some free classes after noting that I paid for 60 minute classes, not 50 minutes. And the second star because the locker rooms are nice, parking is easy, and you get a chilled scented towels at the end of a workout. But despite those perks, I can't recommend the Venice location until they restore the quality that made Barry's a "go-to" destination for getting in shape. It seems that they're so busy opening up new locations that they've forgotten their core customer - people who want a tough workout, with qualified and involved trainers, in a place that is hygienic. read more

3 words for you. SEAN FREAKING WILLIAMS. He is THE best! Barry's is already a killer workout but when you add Sean to the mix its on a different level. He's also the most entertaining instructor hands down. You can tell he is invested in each client that walks in the door and makes sure they are having a good time and getting the workout that they paid for. If you get the opportunity make sure you take one of Sean's classes its the best thing you can do for yourself! read more

I never write reviews but just wanted to say how awesome the staff is here. I didn't realize I signed up for the double floor the other day (my fault) and was too sore from a previous workout so I snuck out. Francisco sent me a kind email and gifted me with a credit. Awesome management read more

I have to admit that I'm going to be biased! I love Barry's and think it is the best workout. That being said, there are things about this location that make me love it more. First of all, it is a beautiful facility! The staff here are so helpful and very responsive. Salema (manager) is one of the nicest people I have ever met and she goes above and beyond to ensure clients have a positive experience. As far as trainers, they are all obviously good at what they do (they wouldn't be there if they weren't the best). I absolutely love Sean's classes. He runs a very structured class and he is very knowledgeable about running in general (he trained for the olympics multiple times). He is hilarious and literally puts on a show! I don't know how he does it, but you can really see that he gives his all when he is teaching. He also pushes his clients and my running has improved because of his cueing specifically. Getting up early to sprint is difficult, but he makes me want to go to to his classes! I even took my family to his classes and they had never done Barry's before. They all loved the workout and they loved his level of instruction and how motivating he was considering they were all first timers! Anyway, Barry's is the best, and worth the price . read more

I joined Barry's in 2012 at the Weho location, and it is truly the BEST workout. Once the Venice location opened I was thrilled and could not wait. The space is large with a great area to stretch upstairs, restrooms well stocked with everything you might need, a smoothie bar, and plenty of free parking. The trainers are challenging, and the staff is SUPER friendly and accommodating. Salema is the manager and ALWAYS gives 5 star service whenever I have any sort of question. After several years of asking my husband to join me in a class, he finally did, and immediately became a member himself. We are both extremely happy and motivated every time we step into the studio because of the good energy the staff has created! read more

I'm obsessed with this place!! So far I've taken Donald, Chandler, and Mathew. All three were motivating and the routines were so challenging that I felt defeated. I felt strong and wanting more everytime I left. Parking is easy and the facilities are top notch! They even have a smoothie bar so you can grab a little something on the way out. I like the skinny b*tch myself. Also shout out to all of them having dope ass music!! read more

Took Sean's 12:30 Saturday class, and it was amazing! I'd say he's my favorite instructor so far, out of all the Barry's in LA. The location itself is fantastic - huge & FREE parking lot, a space just for stretching, beautiful bathrooms, showers and locker space...they have it all! Will definitely be going back! read more

I just started going to Barry's a couple weeks ago and I've had an amazing experience so far! The staff is really sweet and welcoming! Sean W. is my absolute favorite! Enthusiastic, sweet and funny as hell! He's so motivating and his positivity makes me want to work even harder! I always feel amazing after I take his classes! I wake up at the ass crack of dawn to make sure I take his class! I will say that it's worth seeing him at 6:15am! I see him Monday's at 7:15 and 6:15 Tuesday's and Thursday's! I'm obsessed! read more

Barry's and the facility are obviously up to par. What makes this location so different is Sean - every class with him I know I am in the hands of a professional. He kicks everyone's ass in the best way. The best motivator and teacher. Don't miss his class!!! read more

I got 6 classes from my friend as a birthday gift and while I was hesitant to try a group workout class I gave it a go. My first impression going into the gym was wow it did not look like any gym I had been to before. I mean that in a good way. I was greeted with a friendly smile from the front desk girl and she made me feel comfortable by explaining the workout and the very nice gym facilities and amenities. The workout itself was intense but I don't think I have ever had a better workout! I felt good that I was actually keeping up with the instructor Sean's class. I'm just glad that everyone in class was focused on the workout and not on their cell phones like a lot of other gyms. That communal energy in the class led by Sean's awesome guidance made this an amazing experience that will keep me coming back. I mean come on, I can come here workout, shower, nourish myself with a smoothie all why being treated so good by the entire staff? Like no other. Definitely coming back and addicted to this amazing place! read more

Absolutely love this studio. From the stretch area complete with foam rollers upstairs, to the plethora of Oribe products (and Dyson hair dryers!), there is not amenity left off the list here. I've only taken a few classes here, but the staff are incredibly accommodating, responsive, and cheerful even at the crack of dawn. Sean M. has absolutely boundless energy; his classes are really challenging, but he always manages to keep you smiling (and giggling in between reps) with his hysterical dance moves. Love starting my days on the right foot here! read more

So I heard so many great things about this place so I decide to try it out and omg! It was amazing. I have never worked out so hard. I love this place and the staff is amazing! I will be going there all the time now at least 3 days a week. I'm looking forward to my results. read more

Today was my first class at Barry's and it was 100% worth it! I walked up and was greeted by Salema and she was super helpful. Sean was the trainer and he was amazing. His energy is contagious and it made the work out go fast! It was a fun, high energy class and one of the best work outs I have had in a long time. I would absolutely recommend taking his class to anyone who wants to have fun and also get an amazing workout in! read more

I LOVE Barry's. I'm a collegiate athlete in the area for the summer needing to stay in shape and get stronger. After reading the reviews, I decided to try Barry's out. From the minute I walked in, I was in love. In addition to their workout room, they have a fuel station with protein shakes, a recovery area with vibrating rollers, and a locker room with showers, hair dryers, straighteners, etc. The workouts are as challenging as you choose to make them. The instructor will constantly be providing info on what she thinks the group should generally be around in terms of weight and speed, and then it's up to you to make the choice. Every class I have been to has about 40 people in the room to the one instructor, so don't expect individual attention. It's a pretty intense environment. There hardly ever is someone in the room that looks unmotivated. Barry's is definitely the place to go if you want a good workout. read more

My wife n I just moved to Los Angeles and heard that yelp was the way to learn things about the place so we're going to be making reviews. We really wanted to find ways to meet newpeople, so she tried this gym by our temporary home in Marina Rey. She went to bootcamp for the first time this morning and when she got home couldn't stop talking about how great one of the girls was. She said the front desk was pretty no timpressed in her being a first timer, and there was someone with braids in her hair that was not nice but when she got into the gym, a blond girl with a raspy voice was excited to help her with weights and the tredmeal. The blond taught her what the buttons meant and told her it was ok if she couldn't keep up with the teacher. After the running, she gave my wife a hi five and told her she was great. After class, my wife saw the girl in the batrhoom talking to another teacher and when my wife said thank you, the blond was very very very sweet and even offered her a shake from the restarant.When my wife took the shake, the girl siad it was taken care of and then introduced her to a different teacher that was teaching the next class. She thinks he was Mathew and Mathew hugged my wife and said wlecome to Venice, I'm new to. We called bootcap to explain the girl an ask what the girls name was and we think it was Abbee. Anyway, the bootcamp was fun, but this blond made my wife feel happy about trying. If you are going to bootcap, you should ask for Abbee. read more
