This is a great black owned business, but great gym regardless. The cost of membership, fitness…read moreclass packages and personal training sessions are quite reasonable. They also occasionally do limited time specials and sales on unlimited monthly class packages around holidays (for about $65-99+). The facility is spacious with a variety of machines and free weights. Everyone is pretty courteous and considerate with sharing the space. They have bathroom but I'm not sure about showers. I've never asked. They have an elite team of trainers that are dedicated to their work and will push you. They all are as fit and talented as their fit physiques imply. They will unlock a strength, power and resilience in you that you never even thought you had. I train with Cam and he is AMAZING - creates great muscle building and endurance workouts. Prepare to lift heavy. After a session or class with any of their trainers, you can enjoy a protein shake, wrap, cold pressured juice or smoothie from the juice stand onsite, Perfect Pair Juice Bar. They offer a great variety of nourishment to help your body recover after a good burn. They also sell juice cleanses that WORK (if you strictly follow their directions)! I lost 8 on their 3-day juice cleanse. Overall, the best part of this place is the solid community you gain with other gym patrons that you train with. You may start or end your days together with the common goal of improving your quality of life. The people here are serious and will show up consistently to workout with you and support you. This has been my best gym experience.

I felt welcomed as soon as I came in. I loved how clean the facilities were and the amenities. The gym has a solid women's team and the competition training is top notch. I was beat after class, we did like 12 rounds that were 3 minute long with 30 second rest in between. I was exhausted by then and apparently this is an easy day for them. Overall it was a good experience and the class is run by an amazing coral belt which I have never seen before so that's amazing to see!

His attitude is terrible, impatient, rude, and yelling at clients like he can talk to you any kind of way. I paid $350 and walked away after the third session because of his behavior. On that same day, he suddenly tried to have me sign liability and refund papers that should've been done from the start....very shady!!! When I tried to address it, he blocked my number and IG. Straight scam behavior. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I opted for the cardio boxing class, rather than the advanced boxing class with sparring, as I had never been in the gym and I didn't need a shiner at my conference. Ms. Moss was very welcoming both on the phone and in emails... and she keeps a close eye on all Classes. I would definitely go again if I'm in Atlanta. And definitely would love to spar!

In ATL for a girls-weekend and staying just blocks away at the nearby Thompson Buckhead, we walked over on Friday morning for a 50 minute Run X LIFT Total Body class with Chloe B. The class was far from packed, which made it more enjoyable. Chloe's queues and music were spot on and challenging without pushing us so hard that we thought we would puke. We all felt great afterwards and were just the right amount of sore the next day. Huge shout-out to the staff for educating my friend that had never been to Barry's before on how the red room and treadmills work and how the class was set-up with switching from tread to floor to tread to floor... Special kudos to Adi working the smoothie bar who was super sweet and chatty and gave us all kinds of local recs to look into during our visit. If you find yourself in the area looking for a great workout, look no further than Barry's!

Amazing workout! This place completely amazed me. I wish it was in San Francisco!…read more It focuses on full body workout so the different stations focus on different parts of the body (legs, arms, core, chest, back, etc.) with combination of cardio and strength training. This helps a lot so I don't have to have leg day, arm day, etc. - one workout which focused on all exercises. The instructor is also really nice and he explains the workout in the start of the class. It is a small fitness center so you get individual attention especially if you are not doing it right. If I was in Atlanta, I would definitely have made this my regular gym.

My personal training sessions with Shawn fly by and I always wish they last longer. Just like the classes they are always different and fun, but geared towards the goals we discussed. It's been almost two months and I can tell I'm making progress. Working out never feels like a chore and I genuinely enjoy it. As a side note, COVID protocols are taken very seriously which I did factor into my decision to join (also wanting to support a small business in my community). I can't say enough good things about both coaches.
