Yesterday was my first Tremble class, and I feel reborn. There are few things quite as validating as muscle soreness after a tough workout. I feel like a world champion boxer having just finished training camp for a title fight. It feels good to just put the work in. You can't cheat the work. I walked in and thought we were legit in the wrong place. They are doing a full gut remodel, I don't even know how they are open with all this going on. I kind of like that though. It felt more gritty. My extensive pilates background is 5 or 6 solidcore classes, so I walked in kind of shy as I know these girls really get to it. Everyone I talked to before class said this is sooooooo much better than solidcore, but honestly it felt pretty similar. They played better music in here though I gotta give them that. This is a phenomenal workout. Pilates in general is so underrated, I remember the first time I did it thinking it was going to be easy work. WRONG. A nice slice of humble pie is necessary at times. I think it's only a matter of time before these pilates spots get overrun by guys, cuz it will really get you in shape, idk. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Took my first class here after doing megaformer classes at a couple other studios in the city…read more The class was a perfect combination of strength (incorporating moves such as traditional megaformer to completing squats and split squats with the handles). There was also a bit of cardio such as jump squats. The main portion of the workout involved traditional moves on the megaformer. It was the perfect class. Let me tell you I was SHAKING and challenged. I walked out of class and immediately booked two more classes. Highly recommend if you're interested!

Love utilizing the office space as well. Would recommend only if you live in the area. If you're someone who commutes in and can only get there before or after your 9-5, be mindful you may not get the workout you want.

I've been a founding member of this gym since day one and have really enjoyed being part of the…read morecommunity here. That's why it was frustrating to get a notice about a price increase -especially since one of the big perks of being a founding member is usually a locked-in rate for as long as you stay active. That's standard at a lot of other gyms (like Equinox), so I expected the same here. It feels like a bit of a bait-and-switch -"early members take a chance and support a gym before it's fully established". In return, we're usually promised stability. Changing that now just doesn't sit right. I still like the gym, but I hope management rethinks this decision and finds a way to honor the commitment made to their earliest and most loyal members.

305 is life! I'm so happy I discovered 305 fitness. I've only taken two classes that both have been…read moreexceptional and I will continue coming. You cannot pay me to get on the treadmill, so if I'm going to do cardio this is the way I'm gonna accomplish the task. In case you're nervous about this being a room full of professional dancers, it isn't and you're gonna be fine. Everybody's just there to have a good time and flail around the music to the best of their abilities. It's much more about moving and pumping some cardio into your day so no need to feel insecure about your dancing abilities - you're gonna fit in and have a great time! There's also a DJ for every class which is a delightful touch that adds to the party atmosphere. The AMENITIES! WOAH! If you need to take a shower and get ready here, there are two showers in the women's locker room and they're full of Malin + Goetz products. They also have great hair products and a Dyson you can use with a diffuser if needed! The bathroom isn't huge so I could see it getting a little congested and stressful getting ready in the bathroom but wouldn't be a problem if you go during off hours. Overall, this might be my favorite fitness class I've taken in New York City and I will definitely be coming back regularly.

You know a workout class is good when you're sore for the next couple days…read more The workout class was right up my alley: music and dance. As soon as I stepped in, the staff by the counter greets us and are super helpful and friendly. Keep in mind they look for vaccine verification. There's lockers and showers available. The locker area was really dark, with a water fountain station. And once you open a door, there's the studio! My instructor was so energetic! I thought they would be calm from the reviews, but no no! Not only were they so motivating and fun, but the DJ by the corner mixed trendy songs to match their vibes. We pretty much do dance cardio moves to different pop music the whole class, with a yoga mat ab workout in between. I loved how the lights danced along to the music change. The instructor really embraces feeling confident and loving your body throughout the whole class, that you just finish your class feeling good about yourself. I'm so happy exercising and fun can exist in the same sentence, thanks to 305 Fitness. I would totally come back whenever I want to party but also sweat it out.

This is about the third time since I've been a member that this has been done, prior to this I was a member of Equinox and this was definitely unheard of. I do understand the issue of a misconduct, however I don't understand how everyone is penalized for a group of individuals. Now it looks like the time to cancel. Outside of the steam room, the layout of the gym is not that great so individuals come to make sure you can recover with steam, at least that is why I go because my original home location doesn't have a wet sauna option. Making decisions like this affect the misbehaved and the innocent. Smh.

Signing myself up for RBPT has been the best gift I've given to myself this year. I've been training with Chanice for the past three months and she's the absolute best. I was a super weak student to start with -- I used to go to gym maybe once a month and could barely power through 30min of jogging on the treadmill. My body was so tight that a proper lunge felt super painful. Chanice really paced all the exercises for me; once I became comfortable in a certain level, she'd push me to the next. I see her twice or three times a week and she focuses on different muscles for each class -- no two classes are the same which makes it so much fun! She's also given me stretching exercises to do when I'm travelling to work on my flexibility. And I'm doing more cardio (even kind of liking them now!) because she forces me to lol. Those are really the things I knew I should've done but wouldn't do without her pushing me. I definitely feel I've become stronger, leaner and healthier with the training. Things like squats, lunges, weights feel much easier than before; I can even do some pushups from time to time! Besides the workouts she also watches my meals and gives feedback on the ingredients, portion size, etc. Honestly this is the easiest and most sustainable diet I've been on (and I had tried maybe 187 other diets before this) -- it's been 3 months and I've still not called quits! Surprisingly I've grown to really like eating veggies and fruits too which would be unthinkable prior to my training... I really appreciate that she accommodates to my ever-changing travel schedule and has worked with me at some weird hours. The studio itself is clean, spacious (though a bit crowded at some popular hours) and well equipped. The locker room has showers and is well maintained. I hesitated to post this review because then Chanice and the studio will become even more popular and harder to schedule, but oh well she & RBPT really deserve the high praise

Filled out the online inquiry and received a quick response to fill out a form with basic info…read more The form asks about info like goals, injuries,... I have a few injuries that impact some flexibility but generally don't limit me (for example, I play competitive tennis and used to box semi-competitively). I also stated I was just looking for general conditioning but hoped that through the strength training I could improve my structure (for example, my shoulders pull forward a little because I need to develop my back a bit). A week passes and I don't hear a thing. I send a follow-up and very quickly hear back with an e-mail response stating that they aren't a physical therapist and won't take me on as a client. I'm somewhat surprised but sent a response clarifying I wasn't looking for a physical therapist just a trainer and seeing who they could recommend. Again, I didn't hear back...I've moved on. I ended up finding an amazing trainer who I've been working with the last few months and the progress has been great.

I'm lazy, so the stairs leading up to the mezzanine then the front desk was a lot for me. However…read moreonce I made it to the desk, I had the nicest girl help me out, directing me to where the locker room is. There was actually a line for the bathrooms which I've never seen before at an Equinox but there was a maintenance worker there making sure everything was clean in the area. What I learned quickly is that this seems to be a rather busy club. Even though it was around 1p, this place was still active on the floor, and when I had passed the seating on the mezzanine level, almost every seat was taken. Found out the desk girl I spoke with wasn't even a home-based employee at this club but she was very helpful. I actually knew the GM from a location on the west coast so this made the visit even better. Soho is lucky to have Julie Fanning as their GM! I'll be making a future visit here again as they are very close to my favorite tea house a few blocks away.

Equinox SoHo was my primary Equinox location for nearly a decade, and if I had to pick one club…read morethat best captures the energy of Lower Manhattan, this would be it. I had an all-access membership and visited many locations over the years, but SoHo was my home base for much of my time in New York. The location is outstanding, the atmosphere is unmistakably SoHo, and the place always seems to be buzzing. The people-watching is world-class, and there is a sense that you're at the center of one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in the city. While this place is undeniably a scene, people are generally respectful and keep to themselves. That's part of what makes it work. The club has plenty of energy, but it's still easy to put on your headphones, zone out, and focus on your workout. I've always appreciated that balance. The club itself is well-designed and makes the most of its location. I've always appreciated the treadmill setup and sightlines to the TVs, which make cardio surprisingly enjoyable. One thing that always stood out to me was that, in addition to the standard lineup of treadmills, they had a Woodway available. If you've ever taken a class at Barry's, you know how great those machines are. During marathon training cycles, having access to a Woodway was a surprisingly meaningful luxury and noticeably easier on the body than a traditional treadmill. The men's locker room and yoga studio on the top floor are smartly configured, and the large windows throughout the club overlooking Broadway, Prince Street, and Crosby Street bring the city directly into the space. Add in Juice Generation, a well-curated retail section, and the iconic stoop outside, and it's easy to see why I kept coming back year after year. Sitting on those steps with a smoothie, surrounded by cast-iron buildings and the constant movement of SoHo, is one of my favorite New York experiences. New York has no shortage of great gyms, but Equinox SoHo remains one of my favorite places to work out anywhere. Hope to come back soon!
