"You miss all the shots you don't take!" "The lightbulb was Thomas Edison's one thousand and first invention!" 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. read more

This is a tough workout. I do this when I really want to push myself. It is a combination of treadmill, weights and floor exercises. All very challenging. 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. read more

* complimentary first class, and they give you a complimentary water bottle as well! * Lockers are located out in an open space and there are two bathrooms available for people to change in. The studio offers complimentary mouth wash, body wipes, makeup wipes, hair ties, towels, tampons, and has a water fountain on tap. 12 mins interval running (1-3 incline; 4-9 speed) 12 mins floor exercise 12 mins interval running (1-3 incline; 4-9 speed) 12 mins floor exercise My recommendation would be to book a treadmill facing the mirror (treadmills 1-8 I believe), so while the trainer is giving the class a pep talk, you can also give your reflection a pep talk to push yourself further. Definitely a fun class to take with a friend! read more

Ok sooooo I was a lil skeptical at first, but gave it a shott! And it was so worth it !! I am so glad i used my class passs pointss to try this place! I plan to go back! The class includes running on treadmills, core strength, and a bit of weights. They don't pressure you to do what you can't do, but they do motivate you to push yourself out of your comfort zone. The music they played when i went was greatttt!! The instructor has a mic. And talks over the music at a volume that does not disturb at all! They provide towels, bathrooms no showers, in house lockers with their own locks, water, and the place is extra clean! read more

As someone who hates running, I really love this boutique gym that offers what is essentially treadmill training combined with floor exercises. They are on the upper east side, not sure why Yelp has them set to FiDi. Clean gym with one room for the class. The class is motivating and you definitely get a great work out after you put the work in. Prices are very reasonable. The treadmills are high quality and have bounce to them so you don't hurt your knees. read more

Ripped Fit - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - New York, New York

Does. Brian. Ever. Stop. Talking. About. Himself. The workout part of this class was fine, kind of like a Barry's Bootcamp knockoff that will get you sweating but nothing original. Worst part of this was the teacher/owner of the studio. He spoke nonstop the entire 50 minutes, mostly about how he used to be overweight and how much he hated himself, but now hes a "f**king winner" and we can all be winners if we lose weight. Also talked about how 99% of the world is made of mediocre people who are lazy and hate themselves. He only talked about how important it was to look good, and his hatred of his former overweight self was just projected into the room for the entire class. Honestly I was disgusted with his self-hating, self-obsessed drivel and will not be coming back. read more

I absolutely love this place, but the motivational speeches are literally non stop for the entire 50 minute class. I couldn't even hear the music because the instructor was rambling/shouting the entire time! Tried switching instructors and it was the same exact thing....and he was repeating himself and at one point was literally shouting out random nutrition facts and info on counting calories...? Who wants to listen to that while they are sprinting?! I took a friend and she said she would only come back if we could find a class with significantly less talking and screaming throughout. INSTRUCTORS-take it down a notch! This class is so awesome, but the speeches are waaaay too much. read more

Not a workout for the faint of heart. You are really in control of how hard you go which is nice. Teachers are great and friendly. Lena's classes are the best! They don't have showers but if the did they would be 5 stars for sure. read more

I'm no slouch when it comes to working out, as I've been an athlete since grade school 'til my senior year of college from football to rowing to martial arts. Ripped is by far one of the most complete workouts I have ever experienced. Cardio, weights, balance, stamina, mental and physical endurance. The workout never gets boring, never feels static. I have pushed myself further than expected, not only on the cardio but with the constant motion and switching from muscle group to muscle group. I'm a 46-year old ex-athlete and I leave each and every class spent, drained, and exhausted. The best feeling from a workout. read more

I did the free trial of this class and loved it. I thought it was the perfect challenge for someone who is in shape, but still has a lot to go. I was able to choose my running speed (without feeling judged) and was motivated to keep pushing myself. Each change between floor and treadmill felt very quick. The instructor was motivating and played good music. I would definitely want to go again, but find the prices to be very expensive. Will definitely look think about splurging once in awhile. read more

I gave Ripped another try ..... the class was " fine" but the owner Brian was there and was rude as I was walking in and snarky as I was walking out ... I've never seen anything quite like this ... it makes me not want to give them my money ..... much better classes and much nicer business owners read more

Hands down, the most motivating and effective workout you will find. I love to run so this is right up my alley. I hated weights before finding Ripped and now I enjoy them! The instructors are so amazing...they are really motivating and real...and they are in amazing shape...unlike a lot of other trainers. Music is great...the facilities are spotless. I always look forward to a class here! Keep it up, Ripped!!! read more

I took my first class today. They offer the first class for free and give you a complimentary water bottle. I took the 11 am on Sunday. Not sure if it was an odd Sunday, but the class had two people signed up (myself and another person). It's a great workout; totally sweated. However, since the class was only two people the instructor could have been more interactive with us. It seemed like she kept to her script of what to say (inspirational quotes and all). Not once did she ask our names and give us personal shout outs. She also didn't ask if there were any injuries (that's big negative for me). The music was really loud; it was difficult to hear the instructor. Again there was only 2 people in the class. It didn't need to be that loud. I had to ask her to turn it down so I could hear her. I'd like to see what different instructors are like. She really was not someone I want to take a class with again. read more

I go to Ripped 1 - 2x/week without fail. Balanced and thoughtful workout leaves you feeling tired but accomplished. Instructors are motivational but not judgemental - demonstration of exercises, clear instruction on cues, and time management for treadmill and floor time are top tier. Front office staff is friendly - feels like a small family business. Facilities are high-end with Woodway treadmills. Common areas/restrooms/changing rooms are all immaculately clean. Towels are new and soft. Overall, you will not be disappointed. read more

I'm not the kind of guy who would ever have time to post a review, however I feel the class & the instructors (especially Brian) are so overwhelmingly amazing I wanted to take 5 minutes out of my day to write about it. Going to Ripped is the best thing you can ever do for yourself and it will pay dividends throughout your day, week and life. First off, it's a workout that actually works!!! I see real results and I'm so happy about that!!! I have tried all sorts of training - spinning, personal training, pilates, TRX they are all good workouts, and feel great, but I don't see the results. In Ripped I do!!! Secondly, after class I feel like I can conquer anything in my business day and I feel like I do!!! It's like a workout and a personal coach all wrapped into one small price.. Thirdly, the instructors (all of them but especially Brian) put their heart into the class.... And sprinkle in amazing stories, insights and motivation that sticks with me and reminds me to be positive and conquer the day and live life to the maximum. In a world filled with mediocrity, it's just so refreshing to find people that care so deeply. It's clear the owner doesn't need to get up early and give everything he has but he chooses to anyways which is inspiring and commendable. read more
