I needed to get a very heavy stair stepper machine from ground level in the basement. They arrived on time and performed the move within 20 minutes! read more

I used Barry Services to move my my treadmill. They did a wonderful job. Very reliable and easy to work with. I highly recommend them for your fitness needs ! read more

Avoid this company at all costs! After moving my gym equipment to my new home and doing a small repair on my elliptical, they noted that a fly wheel also needed to be changed. I paid 50% of the cost for the part and it was supposed to be installed within weeks. It has now been over a year!! No part, no fix and money gone!!! I have called, texted, emailed....totally ghosted me!!! Unbelievably unprofessional!!! read more

I used Barry Services for the treadmill at our retirement community for seniors over 62. After 4 visits, over $800 later, the treadmill is still not working. Our seniors depend on this machine to stay active at their age, especially with rehab situations. Barry, owner, came out 3x and its still not functioning. Seeing as this is a HUD building, our budget is limited. You should be ashamed of yourselves. read more

I have never been so impressed with a company as I was with Barry's Services. They were courteous, kind, and, helpful. Jamarr was a nice person. So respectful to his fellow worker. I wish all people would treat other people the way he does, he is a true inspiration and the company is lucky to have him on staff. I highly recommend this company. read more

You are better off lighting your money on fire instead of contacting this company. I have only left positive reviews for companies on Yelp, but my awful experience with BARRY SERVICES (BARRY) has made me write this. On September 2, 2023, I reached out to BARRY regarding replacing my (stock) Precor 9.35 treadmill belt that had torn. This belt lasted since the treadmill was purchased in 2009. Right off the bat, BARRY not only wanted to replace the belt, but also pushed me to replace the deck. Even after finding out my make/model, BARRY "highly recommended" I replace the deck. Thanks to my own research, I realized my treadmill had a reversible deck (and it was never flipped before). This is something a company in the fitness industry should know about Precors, but clearly they wanted to make more money off of me. After I declined a new deck based off my research, BARRY charged me $461.48 for a new belt, with install. On September 26, 2023, BARRY replaced my treadmill belt. Unbeknownst to me, the belt I paid $461.48 for was a piece of junk. In addition, the technician trekked dirt/mud through my house, and left a screwdriver and a part of the treadmill underneath it. Fast forward five months, my belt was starting to bubble, it was causing a great deal of noise as it ran over the rollers in front and back, and then, not surprisingly, a hole formed (as pictured). I am the sole user of this treadmill. I use it two times a week and I'm a 120lb female. This is completely unacceptable considering my first belt lasted 14 years. I reached out to BARRY and they said they couldn't do anything without charging me to replace the belt. Do not trust this company with work or your money. read more

I unfortunately didn't have a great experience with their moving services. I just had brand new hardwood floors installed on my upper level and staircase and emphasized that to the movers and asked that they please be careful. I also spoke with Barry the day before to ensure they would carry it up the stairs rather than wheel it. The movers dragged it up the stairs on the wheels and wouldn't have been strong enough to carry it up if they wanted to. They also dragged it around the new floors and were extremely rough. I didn't feel like my house was respected at all. It seemed like one of the guys wanted to be careful and the other was pressuring him to move quickly to get the job done. read more

This company and its owner are a joke!!!! Had them work on my elliptical last week. They changed the battery and it worked for that day, that was it! Call and spoke to the owner, he assured me that he would talk to his technician and find out the issue and get back that later that afternoon. NOTHING! REALLY, NOTHING?? Great way to run a business. Reached out the next day, which was Saturday, again no reply????? Even tried texting his technician, again NO REPLY. I highly suggest that if you are looking for someone to work on your fitness equipment, bypass this company. Unless you want someone who does not stand behind their work, nor return phone calls, then call them. I would have given him ZERO STARS but I could not have finished this review. TERRIBLE BUSINESS! read more

I have relied on Barry Services for nearly 30 years for my personal training business. They did regular maintenance for all my equiment, and alerted me to any issues that required further attention. I recently closed my third studio and had to sell and move many pieces of large equipment. Barry Morris was amazing! He helped me to price the equipment for sale, assisted buyers by disassembling and moving equipment to their homes and businesses, found a wholesaler to buy equipment that I could not sell myself and arranged for a recycler to take old equipment. I could not have managed this without him. Additionally, Barry was always responsive to my many questions throughout the process. I would highly recommend Barry Services. read more

I have a recumbent stepper machine and after several years of very regular use, something broke. The labor warranty was no longer in effect, but they did help me with getting the parts (still under warranty) that most likely needed to be replaced. The manufacturer also provided a list of recommended service companies in my area. I contacted Barry Services and the rest of the repair process was quick, smooth, easy, and handled very efficiently and professionally. Jennifer, in the office, provided great assistance and was able to schedule a service call just a few days after I received the parts. The service rep arrived as scheduled and fixed the machine quickly. He explained what was done and left everything clean and neat. Great experience from start to finish! Highly recommended! read more

Barry Services surpassed all expectations. I had been eying an octane xt-one elliptical for some time, but even the used ones were out of my price range. When I finally found one I could afford, it was in the second floor and down a narrow hallway. Every other company either refused to move it it or was $$$$. Barry Services quoted me $150 less than the other movers and they were communicative and considerate throughout the whole experience. I will recommend them to anyone looking for fitness equipment movers, and I'll call them any time I need my elliptical serviced. Thank you! read more

Phil came out to repair an Echelon 5S bike. I had worn out the tension decoder. Some screws were stripped or rusted. It was not easy, but Phil worked through it and got the new part from Echelon installed. He kept calm even when we had to call Echelon for some guidance. At first it appeared that it would not fix it, but he tried one more approach and this time it took. He clearly knew the inside mechanics from having worked on many other brands of bikes in the past. It is great to be back up and running. read more

The Barry's team was on time, quick, and professional. They were incredibly helpful with our Peloton treadmill move and even went above and beyond on some other help during a stressful moving day. I would highly recommend. read more

Words cannot express how happy I am with their service. They do their best to make their customers happy. Highly recommended. They have resolved a problem with my elliptical that annoys me for a long time. Now things work perfectly. Besides, their price is reasonable and even more competitive for some of their competitors. A diagnostic visit is not required. I just reported the problem to the manufacturer, got parts for replacement, and hired Barry Services to replace them. Payment is made after all work is done. They make money by providing good services, not by playing games. read more

I had used Barry Services in the past when I was relocating and needed a professional to prepare my treadmill for moving, and then put it back together in the new place. They handled this job amazingly. So I called them to service my 30 year old Lifecycle. I was pretty concerned a unit that old would probably not be salvageable. But Barry's came through! The technician remembered the unit from years ago, and since he has been at the business for a long time, he had contacts with people in the industry that might have the correct part. He found the part, and we made a follow up appointment in which the unit was repaired! So great! read more

Excellent, reliable and I intend to absolutely use them again. In fact, as soon as my husband decides to get rid of his new step machine, which he never uses, they will get a call from me! Great co. read more

Great reliable service...I'm a repeat customer, and Barry is the first & only place I call for maintenance, repair and moving (which I've done several times). Good equipment is expensive, and during the pandemic hard to come by, so its essential to keep on top of maintenance (we have an elliptical, spin bike, home gym). Whether its a small repair or moving equipment --across a hallway into a different room or to another house altogether, as we've done both-- it's just easier to let a professional do it. They test before and after set-up; the crews have always been friendly and efficient, and the prices are reasonable. When I need service, I'll call the number first, but sending an email actually gets a quicker reply so be sure to do both. read more

Thanks Barry to you and your crew, Alex and Ernie? Emie? Both of these guys were courteous and handled the equipment with care. My request was to bring a 400+ lbs PeakPilates reformer from outside. The equipment was delivered by freight on a pallet by another company. My husband and I tried bringing the reformer ourselves but that was not going to happen in this life time. Anyhow they carried the reformer safely in to the home and then down to the basement. Very careful and well-thought out plans. This was not easy because the machine itself was awkward and heavy. You could have easily said no we can't do it, but you stayed to make it work :) thank you. I will recommend you to all my friends and clients. Wishing you a happy holiday and a prosperous new year! read more

I contacted them about some issues I had with a recumbent bike and a treadmill. They came out, provided fast service at a reasonable price and everything is working great now. I would definitely hire them again. Thank you, Jonathan read more

Check their work thoroughly before they leave... We hired Barry to move our treadmill, Peloton and elliptical. The 2 movers did a very nice job. When we got on the Peloton to do our first ride post move we noticed that one of the stabalizers was missing off the rear bar (something you only would notice if you were doing a standing ride). I reached out to Barry to see if they found the part in the truck following our move. They said they throw everything out they find in the truck each night. They said they could see if they could get the Peloton part but it would be at my expense since I signed off on the move. I called Peloton and ordered it myself. It was $8 with shipping. Fortunately this was a small issue I could handle on my own but I was disappointed in their response. Again, make sure you thoroughly check their work! read more

Terrific service. Courteous, honest, highly knowledgeable. Good prices. 6 stars!

Great service. Able to get an appointment within a week or two of contacting them. Service technician called to say he was on his way and came within the scheduled window. Did routine maintenance on treadmill and checked all mechanicals. Showed me how to adjust belt and maintain on ongoing basis and said I could call them for instructions if I forgot what to do. Positive service experience from a small business. Would recommend to others. read more

Really great! Prompt, reliable. and Courteous. Had treadmill disassembled,moved, and reassembled in a timely fashion. They were focused, friendly, and efficient. Would use them again and recommend them to others! read more

Contacted Barry service a few years ago to move treadmill,elliptical machine, and weights from a friend's home to ours. Smooth move and reasonably priced. No issues with any of the equipment until last month. Barry returned today to quickly repair loose wire in elliptical. Very honest, corrected me when I wrote the check for the wrong (higher) amount. Would highly recommend their services! read more

I have a Sole F80 treadmill that I thought had given up the ghost. I ordered some parts for it and scheduled an appointment with this company to do the repair. They gave me a 2-hour window, showed up at the beginning of that window, including a call about 30 minutes before to let me know they were on their way. This kind of reliability and organization made my day much easier to manage. Barry and his assistant Alex were great at their job, explained to me what they were doing when I asked (and polite enough not to get annoyed when I was hovering over them trying to see what they were doing)! All in all, I was extremely happy with their service and would recommend them without reservation. Edit: Forgot to mention perhaps the best thing: It turned out that the motor was shot too. I was discouraged and imagining having to replace the treadmill when Barry pointed out that it might still be under warranty even after 10 years. Sure enough, it was! So that was a *huge* savings of money right there. read more

I've been stuck in a moving nightmare for awhile. Called Barry's and they were booked out for about two weeks. I didn't have time to wait so I just kept looking. My move dragged on. I emailed them again and decided I would just get on the schedule and at this point, probably pay whatever just to be done. The guys showed up and I was pretty stressed because their was a miscommunication...and that is how the last disaster began. The guys were over the top polite and told me that had it handled and I could calm down. They were 100% correct. They had it handled. They did great work. Yes, they cost more than regular movers. Yes, the are more efficient than regular movers. This is all they do. This was some of the best money I have spent. Definitely not worth trying to save $50-$100 by hiring the wrong people. Just call Barry's! read more

I purchased a commercial-grade elliptical through craigslist and it was large enough/heavy enough that I didn't want to move it. I contacted Barry Services and told them where it was, where it was going to and the model of the elliptical. I described it and he said he knew which one it was. It was too large to fit through the doorways so it would have to be disassembled, moved, then reassembled (thus, why I hired fitness equipment movers). We scheduled a time about a week out and he quoted me a price of $150. I called the morning of to confirm and he said that we were all set. When he showed up at the sellers home, he said that it was not the model he thought and the price would be AT LEAST $250! He also said that it was the end of the day and he just really didn't want to do it. He tried to tell me that he said the price started at $150 and that I didn't give him enough information about it, which is just not true. As a "specialist" in moving and repairing ellipticals, you need to know enough about them to give an accurate quote when I gave him the model number! I was stuck with a mover that doubled the price and really didn't want to do it and a seller that needed it out of their home. He was totally unprofessional in the seller's home. I would certainly not recommend him to move an elliptical. If you must use him, definitely get a quote in writing with the model of the machine listed on the quote. read more

Hired Barry Services and Fitness Equipment to move an Elliptical machine, the distance of one (1) mile from pickup location (1st floor walk-up) to drop off location (3rd floor walk-up) and while $325.00 is a bit pricey, the overall service was excellent! Ernie and Mike were the movers representing Barry Services and their professionalism was A+. They were courteous, respectful and carefully assessed the environment before moving the machine up 3 flights of stairs. Don't just use a random company to move your expensive exercise equipment, consider Barry Services. read more

Moved recently and my movers were not able to get my treadmill in the basement. I called Barry Services as a last resort to get my treadmill out of the garage. They set an appointment within a week. They came out, disassembled the treadmill, moved it and put it back together. It looks brand new and works great all for a very reasonable price. Very happy!! read more

Barry's makes moving easy and fast. Barry is hands on and responds quickly. Most importantly his employees are happy and considerate. I will use Barry's Services again with out question! read more

I would definitely not recommend Barry Services for Fitness Equipment. The serviceman confirmed that the " belt was slipping on front roller causing a loud screech" and after presenting me with a $105 bill, claimed that he fixed it and the treadmill, although old, should be still working OK for a while. Needless to say, I presumed he checked everything and the treadmill was now ready to use since there was no mention of any need for new parts or further service. When I tried it a couple of days later, it was making a far worse, banging noise, and it now felt very unsteady. I called and was told that I "most probably" need a new belt at $69.00 plus a delivery fee and an additional $105, service call fee. $105.00 spent on absolutely nothing!! read more

Barry came to do a routine maintenance on our treadmill. If you have concerns, definitely state each and every one upfront. I failed to do this, but he honored his work and came back to recalibrate - no problem and no additional cost. (Seems like the erratic speed and incline is now resolved.) thank you! read more

Recently used Barry Services to move exercise equipment while moving. The crew that arrived were wonderful, professional, efficient and courteous. Could not have hired a better company. Excellent read more

Great service. Scheduling was easy, follow up good. When my elliptical was delivered, the delivery guys convinced me it couldn't go to the workout room upstairs: it was too big (translation, they didn't want to make the effort). So, it was snack dab in the middle of my living room. I hated it there. Called Barry, and he knew the model and assured me it wouldn't be a problem to move. And it wasn't! The team was very professional and polite AND swept up afterwards-no mess, just a very heavy elliptical moved up the stairs and around the corner while I worked in my office. I couldn't be more pleased and would absolutely call them again. read more

Used Barry Services to disassemble and reassemble a treadmill and Arc Trainer to move from garage to basement. Service team was prompt, efficient and friendly. Had them to return the treadmill a year later. Highly recommend! read more

My recumbent bicycle was making horrible grinding noises. Barry diagnosed it as something that I could order the parts for and fix in less than five minutes. They even gave me the number for where I could order the parts. They charged me only a portion of the fee that they quoted on the phone. I will call them every time I need fitness equipment repaired. read more

Despite the holidays and the thousands of deliveries these folks work; Barry Morris and his crew are awesome! The poor ratings they have are not understood by me. There is no way, that if a customer is being reasonable, that this company would receive 1 star or anything less than 4 for that matter. You have to be reasonable and caring. I have been in sales and professional services on the high end of Fortune 500 clients for a long time and I want to hire these people! The communications were perfect! Fast and consistent. I wasn't able to get the treadmill the exact day I wanted but mostly because of the holidays. Barry worked with me and got it to me on his own with no help from his crew because they were out delivering other items. Rather than making me wait till the next week; Barry drove it out and helped me get the MASSIVE box right where I wanted it. Additional notes worth mentioning: Appearance: professional and clean. My wife is tough on people...really tough:-) She even said that the delivery guys she spoke with were very friendly. That's like...whaaaaaattt? Getting a complement from her is a BIG deal! Thank you Barry for going the extra mile for me. AND no...I do not know Barry or anyone at his company personally. This is my review and I'm happy to write it! Joe "Customer" read more
