I did four classes at Barrys and loved them. Three of these were over 3 consecutive days. Perhaps what I learned can help you decide if Barrys is for you (each pro has a connected con):Pros:-I hate running but, for some reason, Barrys made it fun.-Barrys workouts are intense, high energy, and you cant help but push yourself. If you struggle to get a good workout in by yourself you may benefit from this change of pace as I did.-The coaches are accommodating, friendly, and professional.-Barrys shakes are excellent and its such a treat to have one waiting for you post-workout.-The staff is just wonderful. Theyre positive, helpful, and encouraging.Cons:-Theres no escape from running unless you do double floor which is brutal. It would be awesome if they incorporated bikes or rowing machines. However, I imagine that would be pure chaos with the current model.-If youre getting back in to shape like I was; Its really easy to go all out and need two days to recover. Its hard to hold back enough that youre ready to come back the next day. Also, Barrys workout are LOUD. I highly recommend using the earplugs they provide.-You often end up playing a game of exercise telephone as you watch your neighbor whos watching their neighbor watch the coach. This can leave some people confused as to what exactly theyre supposed to be doing and how. Stand close to the coachs station if youre like me and cant see that well.-The shakes can stack up and add an extra $10-14 per workout if youre not careful.-The way sessions are priced leaves you paying nearly three times as much as other gyms if you work out every day. Its essentially the opposite of a flat rate gym membership by having you pay per session instead of per month.I hope thats helpful. I loved my workouts and look forward to poking my head in from time to time for one heck of a workout. Thanks Barrys!

Youre going to get a really great workout in a ridiculously nice space. Even the mens locker room, for example, looks like it should be in a magazine. Check this place out!

This is my first experience with workout bootcamps which are dime a dozen around the area. I was not happy with my gym (gyms, actually) memberships as I switched from 3 different gyms within the last 3 months. I was considering going to Equinox until one Monday night I randomly stopped by Barrys and even though they were closed a nice guy (now I know his name is Ryan and hes great) gave us a tour and I realized I was sold right away. I am so happy to be their customer.They are super friendly, the place is nice, their shower/body products smell like heaven, they have their own smoothie bar, but the main part is workouts (of course). Those are absolutely great. And, in contrast to Orange Theory they have this double floor option when you can stay on the floor all hour and only do weights (which I love since Im not big on running).My fav coach is Matt, his workouts are very well structured and his explanations are super clear, you know exactly what and when you supposed to switch to the next exercise, I never feel lost and confused. He also constantly cheering everybody up so that even if youre super tired Matt is there for you to help go thru the struggle. Struggle of getting better.Go Barrys!

UPDATE 3/24/19:So... after my awful experience a few weeks ago, Lauren, the manager, reached out to me in a timely fashion to apologize for the poor customer service and treatment and invited me back to try a class for free. I was skeptical but given the great customer service I thought they deserved a second chance. I took class with Matt this morning and it was a great experience! Barrys is definitely the boutique gym experience, complete with eucalyptus cold towels and protein smoothies ordered at the bar. The workout itself is classic high intensity intervals, with half the time on a treadmill and the other half on the floor with weights and body weight exercises. The vibe was great and if youre someone who feeds off of others energy in group classes, youll LOVE Barrys. After 50 minutes I was drenched in sweat and I felt that I had an amazing workout that really challenged me at every turn! As an Orangetheory fanatic, I will say that I missed the rowing a bit, but Barrys is every bit as intense if not more than OTF.I have to thank Lauren for reaching out and inviting me to come back to give Barrys a try, because its a great workout and I had an awesome time today. Its definitely more pricey than OTF but you are paying for the boutique experience and its worth every penny.________________________________________________________________________3/7/19 original review:If I could give the staff ZERO STARS I would do it! I signed up for my first class at 6 am. As an Orangetheory Fitness addict I was super excited to try Barrys out. I got to the studio 15 minutes early (note: 5:45 am) as they asked to check in and get oriented. The class started and I was at my station warming up and someone came up to me and told me I was at her station. I walked outside, confused, and the front told me they never checked me in and allowed someone who came in late to take the last spot.So... not quite the first time experience I was hoping for. No amends were made and no call from the studio manager. I really hope they get their act together, but for now, its back to Orangetheory for me. If youre looking for a good workout AND amazing customer service that makes you feel like family, check out Orangetheory instead.

I go to Barry’s in NYC all the time. Came here while visiting my family for the holidays. The facility is clean. Looks like all their classes are 50 mins unlike the usual 60 min classes I take in NY.
