Tried this place out for the first time to switch up my workout from running and weights. They have a really strict policy on being on time. More than 5 minutes late and basically out of luck. If you go during "off peak" hours aka before the studio opens to take an early class, you'll need a code to enter at the door. Try getting there 15 ish minutes early to get a locker and get settled into a machine. No one was at the front desk so I basically had to ask a classmate where to put my things and how to check in. Eventually headed into the class to find the instructor.
She took my name and led me to a machine. The machines are close to each other. Can't imagine how cramped it might feel if the class was full. The class will definitely work some muscles you normally wouldn't and felt challenging. I would have liked a little more hands on help for a first timer, but think I kept up ok. The one hour class goes by fast and the next group is in before you get a chance to chat with the instructor or anyone else. It would have been nice to have a little more gap between classes. A 6am class is a bit tough to get to on time with trains, but nice to do early. I'd recommend going on an empty stomach. A 630am class might be better.
They have 2 single gender neutral restrooms. They have a few personal care items you may use (spray deodorant, lotion, hair ties, etc.) You'll wipe down your machine with disinfectant wipes after class. They sell water and drinks. The lockers have their own locks built in that you can set. Blue stone lane coffee is just across the street and you're a short walk to the Brooklyn bridge if you want breakfast and take a walk after. Overall an okay workout to do once in awhile, but quite expensive. read more
