If Barry's Bootcamp and Tonehouse in NY had a baby, Midtown Studio would be it. Midtown Studio…read moreoffers 50 minute bootcamp style classes that incorporate a combination of interval running, strength training and functional exercises. It's similar to Barry's except the sets between exercises are shorter and you switch from the bench, floor and treadmill more frequently. I like that there's an open space/turf where you can do more exercises that utilizes open space that's separate from the bench. It definitely feels like an all over athletic conditioning class in that regard. The woodway curved treadmills are really cool in that it's entirely dynamic and driven by your resistance although there is a manual resistance knob to add on more weight. Once you get going on it, it can go really fast and feel intimidating but after the first class you get the hang of it! There's also these straps with handles attached to the treadmill that we didn't get to use but I assume they're used in more cable based exercises. The bench is stacked with different equipment, like dumbbells and kettlebells as well as battleropes and sandbags. Class size is about half of Barry's at full capacity (20-25?) The first time I took an "extreme abs" class with an instructor whose name I didn't catch. It was definitely one of those classes that went from 0 to 100 reaaal quick so if you're not as used to working out at that intensity I'd disclose it with the instructor. The second class was with Manu, the owner, and he was FANTASTIC!!! He was such an excellent coach and really tried to give attention to each individual (something you wouldn't see at Barry's). He gave clear instructions in both French and English and was extremely motivating. He's super friendly and runs a great studio! Classes aren't as frequent and tend to go more toward the later morning into the late evening. My friend and I purchased a 2/30 euro intro deal and it was well worth the money!! If you're interested in getting a sweat on in Paris or wanna make more room for crossaints, this is your place! There are showers and Rituals amenities to freshen up with after class.

The best gym, my favorite gym! Lots of equipments, professional trainers, very modern, cool…read moreinterior design! Love the huge space and it is the place where you can totally forget about anything else, stressless, and ENJOY workout. There is AC, so you don't have to be struggled by the hot weather. The window view is nice, and you see many pretty people working out there with you is A+++. Love the steam room, sauna, lockers, group lessons, energy bar, and especially the spin class (with steam if you want more challenging to your exercise). They gave you two towels. I think this chain store is sponsored by Armani. You only see Armani advertising in the entire area which is fine with me. Feel even more high-end. :)) The cost is a bit pricy. One day pass is $50, but people, it gives you AC if you know what I mean. I was at CMG, I paid $35. If you get out of the gym, cannot come back anymore unless you pay another $35. It was a small place filled with lots of people. Not enough equipments, less selective of facilities. No AC, no view. I thought I was like a blue shrimp swimming in a hot pot getting cooked. There is a gym at Latin quarter where asks for a same amount of fee, much older than CMG, same quality, but it has a big swimming pool on the 2nd floor. I was at a health club yesterday on Champs Elysees near Marriott hotel and it at the same building where Starbucks is located. It is at the basement, asking for $40/day. Big place, so so equipments, no street view, I felt kind of gloomy and suffocated already and I haven't even started working out. So if you really want your workout in Paris feels like a treat, come to L'usine!!!

Overall, I find the staff to be as friendly as Paris permits, with occasional good (or bad) surprises.

The equipment is okay, but if you want to work out with free-weights you're out of luck because they only offer light dumbbells. It is really the classes that make going here worthwhile. My big complaint is they ration out towels and you have to always return to the front desk to ask for a fresh one. Also, you should know that you have to bring your own toiletries, they don't offer shampoo or body wash in the showers. I think I'm just used to a better level of service at my gym in New York, and if you know of a better option in the République area then you should skip this place.
