Conbody is by far the best work out class I've done in NYC. Its also extremely good value for money! I much prefer it over classes like Rumble and Soulcycle, its way more down to earth, the trainers are amazing and its one of the hardest and most satisfying work outs I've ever done. The vibe in the studio is great, the black box cell, loud music and trainers really allow you to get into a zone and smash your workout. Im in the best shape I've ever been after becoming a regular here. Can not recommend it enough. read more

I joined conbody in April 2015. The workouts are a good kind of intense. Make you sweat, and help you tone all with your own body weight. Coss and the other trainers are great to work with and are truly passionate about health, fitness and building a community. The new space is top notch and I strongly encourage everyone to come give them a try. read more

I took Ray Acosta's class and it was truly awesome. Had an amazing sweat. He's tough but he kept it fun. It was nonstop but Ray encouraged breaks if needed. Will be back. read more

Came to this class for the first time last night on ClassPass - it was a great workout!!! I did Lock-down Wednesday and it was extremely challenging but everyone at the studio was great. You just do exercises using your bodyweight but it was one of the tougher workouts I've done. Will definitely come back and the instructors are awesome! The room does get warm so get ready to sweat! read more

I took Super Set Saturday with Ray. The class is upbeat and fun but it's tough, basically non-stop. He challenges you so you feel really good when you walk out the door. Ill be back for sure. read more

My boyfriend and I like to kick it up a notch before the summer, so we decided to try this full body weight workout -using your own body weight- and kickass, motivating instructors to push you through the wall (trust me, you will hit the wall). We left drenched- but before exiting, signed up for a month. read more

I would give a billion stars. C'mon yelp, get up on that. Ray (of sunlight) Acosta will kick your butt into shape with fun tunes, he'll take you on a musical-work out journey from Canada (drake) to Chicago (Kanye) to Brooklyn (Biggie)! The atmosphere is very friendly and will make you want to come back for more! Shane is another person to look out for. He has a deck of cards, I won't ruin the surprise for you, but it's super fun and will make your body cry in the best way possible. Best instructors ever! I haven't taken a class with Coss or Sultan, yet but I only hear the best things about them, too! :) :) :) read more

Excellent workout! I tried it for the first time yesterday in their outdoor class at Lions Gate Field. (The instructor, Derek, was great and kept the energy high.) I consider myself fairly fit, but this kicked my butt. You move very quickly (no rest breaks) through bodyweight and cardio exercises for 45 minutes. It's very efficient with no time wasted. I am sore today but am working up the courage to go back. read more

We are from out of town and wanted to take a Conbody class as part of our fitness themed vacation. We booked the 8am Manic Monday class online. When we arrived the front desk person felt really bad because the 8am class had been cancelled and we hadn't received an email saying it was cancelled. However, Coss (the owner and founder) came out and not only apologized, but offered to stay and give us a private session so we could still participate. He even offered us the chance to come back for free. They could not have handled this little snafu more beautifully than they did. The class was awesome even though I was pretty much dying by the end (curse you Gorilla Hops). Coss was a great instructor. He does get in your face and push you to do your best, but never do you feel like you are being disrespected. He was a very nice guy and even chatted with us after the class even though he had told us he needed to get somewhere. Definitely a cool thing to check out if you are ever in New York or if you live on the LES. However, make sure you read their website to learn about the workout style ahead of time. It is definitely not for a person who has never done intense exercise before. read more

This workout is no joke. Hard, effective, and at the end of the day, even fun! Have only had Coss as an instructor so far and he's amazing. Throughout the class, I definitely said to myself multiple times "wtf did I sign up for?!" But, you feel incredible after completing the workout because this crap is hard. Harder than Insanity in my opinion (due to high reps of exercises in Coss's class). There's no way you won't come out looking ripped af if you do this regularly. Highly, highly recommend. UPDATE: I recently took Ray Acosta's class--another amazing instructor at Conbody. Class was appropriately paced and we worked hard. He was funny as hell and really supportive of everyone in the class. It's so great when you can go to a fitness class and work hard but also have fun at the same time. But, don't stand still during water breaks otherwise you'll have to pay the price--and the currency in Ray's class is burpees ;-) read more

I took a pop-up Conbody class with Coss at Under Armour. At the start, Coss introduced himself to everyone. I mentioned that I ran a 6-mile race the day before and he promised there would not be much leg work. NOPE! We went straight into numerous drills from jumping jacks, squats, planks, etc. before breaking into two groups and doing partner exercises where we did everything from walking lunges to army crawls. I was already breaking into a sweat after what was probably the warm-up and was drenched by the end of class. The exercises were simple in theory but really pushed me to my limit to keep up form, pace and strength. After all, you are not done until the last person is finished. At the end of class we lined up like cons and squat- walked over to Coss to give him a high-five. Love his energy and spirit. I can't wait to try out a class at their studio. read more

I came to Conbody through Sultan, who I met at another studio. I prefer HIIT and wanted to see what "body weight" training was all about. No joke, it's pretty challenging. Sultan is the MVP of an All-Star crew. The rest has been covered by other reviewers- I'll close by saying that I have rarely been to a studio where pretty much everyone has a huge smile on their face like we do at Conbody. read more

This is an excellent workout that is very challenging and effective. It is very fast-paced which makes the class fly by. If you are really looking to get in great shape, these classes will get you there. I am a very athletic person and it is a tough (in a good way) class for myself. There is no equipment involved, just using your own body weight during exercises. read more

The Conbody workout is amazing! The instructors are welcoming, the environment is very relaxed until the door to the cell closes for your workout. Do it, do the time, try this workout you will not regret it ( ok maybe during a moment of weakness in class ). You'll be doing a workout full of body resistance training and feel stronger after one class! After hearing Coss's story I knew I had to try the class while I was in NYC for holidays. It was worth the hour long trip at 6:00 am, the class was very inspiring, and yes I feel sore today despite working out 5 days a week. I was lucky enough to have Coss as my training partner during class, so cool and fun... also no cheating on the last few reps. Thanks for the great class Coss! read more

If you're looking for a good sweat trust me you will get it here. ConBody is such a fun place to workout, I did my first class with Ray on full body Friday and it was intense fun and I amazing. The entire place is so energetic and lively I love the atmosphere so much. If you're iffy about coming here, do it. Today's workout we did intervals of different movements for about 30min and then a short 45secont break and then we did a circuit workout. Will be back again next time I'm in the city read more

ConBody is f*** amazing! I am a new mom & have been working out with them for a couple of months. My body went from squishy mess to pretty hot (for a mom) if I say so myself. The workouts are intense but doable. They were happy to work with me even though I didn't have much of a core when I started working out again. Me (& my husband) are all extremely impressed with the results!! read more

Amazing workout class!! Really motivational and pushes you to give it your all. Especially love the message about prison reform mixed into the business. Instructors are on point and the studio is so clean! Will be back for sure! A++++ workout class. read more

Ray was a great motivator and eager to push everyone to their limit. Great class, Ray!

Hands down, one of the BEST workouts in the city. Fast paced, sweaty, fun and hard (in best possible way) in a cool boutique setting (minus the new agey platitudes, overpriced shakes, flashing disco lights and egotistical trainers so often found in trendy and or boutique fitness studios in the city). No weights or equipment - just all using your body weight as resistance for a solid 45 minutes, bootcamp style. Think planks, squat thrusts, squats, burpees and jumping jacks etc. You can modify a movement if you cant do it. You start out with a warm up, then circuit, then cool down/stretch. Coaches will push you but in a supportive way. Great studio with wifi, good sound system, free lockers, shower and easily accessible by J,Z,B,D, and F trains. Also on ClassPass and FitReserve. read more

I took Ray Acosta's class a few weeks ago and enjoyed an awesome full body, high intensity work out. I'll be attending his class often.

I was so nervous going into my first ConBody workout but all my nerves went away immediately after arriving. The staff was so nice and welcoming as soon as I walked into the Midtown location. The workout was HARD - there's no getting around that - but it seriously flew by all thanks to Ray! Ray was such a great instructor. He kept things challenging but also kept us laughing throughout. The workout moves weren't too complex so anyone can do them! But you don't stop moving for the first 25-30 minutes or so so you'll definitely want to keep a water nearby. I felt so great after the workout. I definitely got sore a couple days later and had to stretch like crazy but it was totally worth it! I highly recommend ConBody if you're thinking about it and take a class with Ray if you can because you'll have a great time, an even better workout, and get a few laughs along the way! read more

Took this class via class pass and let me tell you, I had to take a break today and rest my body and muscles (I don't usually take a day off either!). The studio is located in the basement and the theme of the whole place is pretty neat. No equipment, no Dumbbells, no kettle bells, nothing. Straight up body weight. Sultan was my instructor. Seems like a pretty down ass guy who absolutely loves his job and just doing what everyone in NYC is doing-- which is hustling and bustling. Much respect. The class is not easy. My entire body is hurt today, and I consider myself to be in pretty good shape since I take various hiit classes everyday. I plan to come back for sure. read more

I was extremely nervous to take my first ConBody class, but the entire staff was extremely welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived. Ray was an incredible trainer, leading the workout with laughs throughout. Not going to lie, I was sore for DAYS, I mean DAYS after taking this class. I'm used to running a few times a week and boy this was a complete shock to my muscles. I even had to go out and buy a foam roller for my legs! The moves seem simple enough, but boy was I unprepared for the stiffness after class. At least I know I worked hard! I will definitely be back, it's easy to see how everyone working at ConBody is in such good shape. The workout is a killer but so worth it in the end! read more

I have been coming to ConBody for 2 months now and I love it! The workouts are very intense but fun and what I love the most is the supportive environment. All the trainers are great and although they look tough they are the nicest guys. They will push you and encourage you to give your all every single time. I am not a morning person but ConBody manages to get me up 6am to make it to class and look forward to also going on the weekends. read more

ConBody is the best workout I've found in the city. And pretty cheap too! 1.) I like the variety of badass full-body exercises - I never get bored. 2.) Every class there are some exercises where we partner up, so it really builds a sense of community, even during a short class. 3.) New Broome St location is a super nice place to work out. 4.) Final plus is that it benefits hard-working individuals trying to get back on their feet - so it's all for a good cause. read more

Tried the 30 minute sweat today and it's more than a sweat! One of the most intense workouts I've ever done!! Great class! Definitely feel the burn! read more

ConBody is the absolute bomb. My boy Ray is the king wizard of all trainers. Like Harry Potter ain't got nothin on him. He let me double down on back-to-back classes OTH. First with the legs and then with the upper bod, peppering in a bit of core. Let's just say it got rather spicy on a Wednesday. As of now, I'm super swole. I feel like SHMONEY and I can def make it rain Hurricane Katrina style -- I owe it all to Ray. You need to take his class. Legit unreal. Plus, you might get the added bonus of seeing me there too. Also his music is dope. Panda, Panda, Panda read more

Love Con Body! Have gone several times and have had Coss, Ray, Shane and Sultan and they've all been great and give a good hard workout, that leaves you sweaty and sore for several days.(especially my butt with all the squats they have you do!) Ray is probably my favorite due to his fun active rests where he teaches dance moves and always makes me laugh. Only wish he taught more classes! I like when they have partner exercises and love their crazy deck of card game! My friends think I'm crazy when I tell them I have fun working out at Con Body, but I do! It's always both a fun yet hard workout! Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

I loved this studio. I first heard about it through an article on Well & Good, and I saw Coss featured on Startup (the podcast) later, and I knew that i had to try it. I do an intense boot camp regimen 4 times a week, and I came out of here a sweaty puddle. Sultan was super high energy (even though he'd just had a back spasm) and led us through a cardio blast and a series of circuits -- all with our own body weight. And it was a lot of fun! I only wish I lived closer...I would be here all the time. read more

Amazing workout with Ray Acosta tonight! I know I'll always get a great workout at Conbody and Ray adds so much fun to the class. Great music and super motivating- sometimes I forget I'm working out because I'm having so much fun, but then my sore quads remind me. My favorite is the listen to the claps exercise. Don't stop moving and get that schmoney!! Greg at the front desk is also great- super welcoming and helpful! read more

I took my first class with Ray Acosta and it was great! I wasn't sure what to expect and as a person with a non-committal approach to fitness, to be honest, I was a little nervous. Here's a quick recap: The check-in process: Great! Syretta was so friendly and really took the time to explain the class and the story behind ConBody. The actual class: WOW! I won't lie, the first 25 minutes are tough, but after you get through it, the last half of the class seems more manageable. I recommend stretching and hydrating a lot before this workout, you sweat your #$% off and afterward the soreness is no joke. The class is intense (especially for those new to working out). The instructor: I could have written this entire review about Ray. He is a great instructor! He is firm, but fun. The flow of his workout is very effective in terms of working all of your muscles. His teaching style keeps you motivated throughout the class. He throws in some cool dance moves and by the time you leave class, you feel totally bought into his "schmoney" vibe. He also lost 200 lbs, so that is crazy motivating! Overall: I really liked the boot camp concept. I felt like these were exercises I could do on my own, but I still like the class to stay motivated as part of a group. Everyone at the location in Midtown was friendly and accommodating (they gave us towels and took pics for us after class) and they had water for sale as well as some pretty cute gear. I would definitely go back and take another class. I would also recommend it to a friend - in fact I brought 6 of my friends with me for the first class - we all loved it! read more

Great place! Terrific trainers, intense and very effective. Go. GO. GO! Coss' story is inspiring. You can't help but join into the intensity a fun. Cool place, too read more

I just took Lock down Wednesday with Ray Acosta, and two days later my butt is still sore! It was an Awesome class ~ hard core and fun all at the same time. Just don't stand still because you'll have to do extra burbees, and he will make you do them! I'll definitely be going back. read more

Awesome awesome vanity free boot camp style workout! I've been working out with these guys all year and the classes never disappoint. The new location is on fleek packed with showers, changing room, lockers and whatever else you might need before or after your workout. Beast mode everyday w/ the Coss, Sultan, Shane and Ray #dothetime. And if you're into yoga they offer that too with the amazing Amy. read more

This is by far my favorite workout! A super friendly and inspiring atmosphere. The classes are challenging, fun and motivating- makes me feel healthy and strong. I'm so glad I've found Conbody- even the days I can't go to the studio, I do my own workout based on what I've learned there. read more

LOVE Conbody! It's hard to wake up and get to the 6:30am class, but every time I do I'm so happy I did! It's an awesome workout and Ray's energy is fantastic! Get ready to be covered in sweat and have a good time doing it. Highly recommend for anyone who likes a cardio-based bootcamp using your body weight and working with partners. read more

Yes! It took me almost a year to come try it out and I give it a thumbs up. Great workout, price, location, schedule and all for a notable cause. Highly recommend. read more

Best body weight workout in NYC! Hands down. It's dirty & agrressive so perhaps not for everyone but will certainly kick your ass. I'm a little confused by the below review, there really isn't anything 'kitschy' about the workout. It's hard AF and the people who come, show up because it's HARD AF and it's prison bootcamp because it's all bodyweight exercises that you could technically do in a prison cell. Also, this place doesn't turn 'these guys' into an experience, THEY created it and it's awesome. I 100% recommend this place to anyone that want's a super hard, kick your ass, do 100 burpees type of workout, and not just a pat on the back for showing up. And make no mistakes, this is not a fun/cool/edgy studio to stop by on your way to brunch - you will leave physically depleted, mentally challenged, drenched in sweat, red faced and in desperate need of a shower. I love it! read more

Recently took Ray's class at the new Noho location. This class is always really tough, but Ray encourages going at your own pace and taking breaks when needed. Highly recommend ! read more

Owner messaged me right after I posted my review. He wanted to hear my concerns and recommended a teacher and class I may like better. I appreciate the quick response and attention. I am excited to give it another shot! read more
