The train is also a block away. They offer a nice deal for those starting off, as well as trial classes. The coaches are all super friendly and the community events are fun.

The programming and training are top notch, and the community is like a family. As a "masters" athlete I appreciate that there is always a scaling option I feel comfortable with.

There's strongman programming in the workouts a couple days a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays), which is pretty different and thrilling. After a couple of weeks here, we've done work with equipment like stones, sandbags, tires, sledgehammers and kegs. Not something you expect to see everywhere! I love the space and the big garage door. When it's open for some air or the light, it's so refreshing. So thankful that Dutch Kills is in the area.

These are some of the motivational messages and platitudes thrown at us in class as we huffed and puffed our way through steep inclines on a treadmill going so fast our hearts felt like bursting out of our chests. While these quotes felt hackneyed and out of place at the gym, I welcomed the distraction. I'd rather think about the sort of quotes you see on dorm room posters than how close I am to passing out. Which is all to say, the class is hard, but you have someone literally yelling in your ear to keep going. Facilities are clean, there are self-locking lockers, and multiple bathrooms. I'd come back for this is a cheaper, comparable alternative to Barry's.

The space is very clean, with just one exercise studio. The prices are comparable to other classes in the area. The packages don't have any expiration so there is no crazy rush to take the classes. The only negative is after 1 ripped class, I am sore for a week.

He's truly one of a kind. And now he's available for everyone online! He's developed on an online coaching program for all of us homebound these next couple of weeks. I cannot recommend him enough.

Aside from all the physical progress, I've gone from barely knowing a thing about fitness to developing a good sense of precisely which parts of my body should be activated for each exercise, even when I'm working out on my own. This all happened under his guidance. This same man has also been one of the kindest, most understanding people I've worked with. He's stuck around for me even through my lowest moments over the last 2 years to say the least. Overall, if you're looking for a no frills, knowledgeable, but most importantly, kind trainer, can't go wrong with Jake.

I started with CrossFit Sunnyside just 2 weeks ago & from the friendly welcome on my initial visit for info from Mike the owner to my first few workouts I'm happy I did. Mike & Leo have guided me thus far & there is a genuinely friendly & professional atmosphere in the gym. Everyone is pulling for your success & adjustments can be made to suit your fitness level. I love the idea of the 1:1 for 5 sessions upfront, which helps show what to expect during the classes & assesses what my strengths & weaknesses are & therefore knowing those things I can work to better achieve my goals. Their prices are very reasonable for what's on offer & there are several programs to choose from. I have one more 1:1 session on Monday & looking forward to getting in the team sessions soon. If you're hesitant about starting....or returning to a workout program, whatever age or fitness level you're at....hesitate no more, get in touch with the gym, you won't be sorry!

So it really is great at providing a full body workout! Their instructors are energetic and fun. Note- this is NOT Pilates (megareformer is not pilates). It is a strength fitness class that utilizes a megareformer. Form 50 has a cute aesthetic- pink light, pink & white springs, pink handles. So you can decide if that's your thing! Amenities are good- lots of lockers, bathroom & showers (not all studios i go to have showers). Conveniently located in midtown, not far from the 6 train. This is available on ClassPass! Overall, I will be back.

Other than that, they're pretty similar in that their total body sculpt workouts are pretty good, though they do focus more on abs, glutes, legs by nature of Pilates. The instructor kept it interesting and gave us a variety of moves using most of the components of the megareformer machine. It was a tough workout but in a good way--I thought I'd be pretty fit since I play volleyball 2-3 times/week every week but Pilates has humbled me once again. Form50 has a lot of offers -- 2 pack or 2 week unlimited membership for new clients, various class packs and being listed on ClassPass. Towels are only free for members; otherwise, it's $3 per towel. The facility is very clean and aesthetic too. I also like how there are more than enough lockers, compared to some fitness studios where I feel like I have to scramble for locker space.

Despite my limitations, I still found this workout to be doable and accessible as a non fit person. Flex FiiT offers circuit style workouts that consist of different focus areas with a mix of weight training and cardio movements. The space is clean and big enough to fit at least 15 worker outers comfortably. We started out with a short warm up that consisted of jumping jacks, arm stretches with a resistance band, runner lunges and butterfly sit ups. Next, we moved into four movements that consisted of curls on each arm, resistance band pulls and one other movement that I've mentally blocked out of my mind and can't remember doing now. After four rounds of that we broke off into four stations including TRX training, using a ski machine, weighted squats and more curls. The finisher was a mix of jump squats, mountain climbers and froggers. The instructor went around checking everyone's form diligently which I really appreciated as someone who's coming back to working out after a while. She was motivating without screaming at you and being mean about it, another thing that was much appreciated at this stage in my fitness journey. I booked this through ClassPass and would probably join if this were closer to me in Astoria. If this studio is close to where you live I'd definitely recommend dropping in for a class.
