Barry's is expensive... but for me, it's worth it. It's a great atmosphere to workout. I frequently take my friends here. You won't get 1:1 guidance unless you ask for it, but that's fine with me. I feel encouraged to push myself while working out and most instructors leave you with words of inspiration. If you're having an off day, Chelsea's inspirations are the best! I will note that the music can be really loud, so sometimes I wear ear plugs to dampen the noise. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I've had to cancel a few classes due to last minute work meetings and they're understanding with me. I've been to a few other Barry's locations where you have to reserve classes weeks out and it's nice that I can sign up the day of (most of the time). Barry's Charlotte also has fun events - DJ classes, happy hours, brand sponsored events, holiday parties. The amenities are kept clean! I shower here quickly if I'm running to a meeting or dinner after. I've never had issues - products and towels are stocked. I've been a member since they opened in Charlotte and don't plan on leaving! Join me!

As a former ClassPass member in NYC, Barrys was always a must try so when I saw a Charlotte location, I decided to give it a whirl. I opted for a 3 class pack as I am currently part of a CrossFit box but just wanted to switch things up. I loved the customer service immediately when I walk in the door and how clean the gym was - from the floors to the walls - its literally spotless each and every time, the locker rooms are fully equiped with spray deodorant, hair ties, and other amenities. You always get a clean, dry workout towel as you enter the red room and a lavender scented, refreshing cool towel as you leave the red room. At the beginning of each class, the instructor asks if there are any injuries - if you have one, please BE SURE to tell them! They can help you modify moves in the class, and you don't want to risk hurting yourself. The instructor is super attentive ( never on their phones) clear and informative on what you should be doing and when. Dope space to vibe out, enjoy the music, and get real sweaty!! The only thing I wasnt a fan of was parking - it was a 30 min nightmare as all levels within the lot were filled to capacity - not sure what the resolve is because this area is high volume due to all the retail and restaurants so plan accordingly. Sidebar: I really appreciate Emory Yearwood (Manager) for adjusting my account as I was super sick last week as she didnt want me to lose my credits and also prevent the spread of any germs at the facility. Overall, great community, coaches and unmatched quality service.

I went to my very first Barry's Bootcamp class at the new Southend location last week. I was extremely nervous and intimidated before going to the class. Everything I've ever heard about Barry's is how hard it is...and I'm definitely not a runner, so the treadmill part of the class was terrifying to me. When I got there, I was welcomed by kind and energetic employees behind the front desk. They immediately greeted me and made it clear I sign in with them. This made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I've had horrible experiences at other gyms/workout classes where the staff aren't friendly or welcoming, and have felt lost about where to go or what to do. The staff at Barry's truly made me feel at home from the beginning. The entire studio is beautiful. It is so CLEAN! The locker rooms literally have everything you could need before or after a workout. There is clearly so much thought that has gone into their gyms and it makes a huge difference in the overall experience. Chelsea was the instructor for my class. Before she let everyone in the red room, she asked first timers to come into room. She quickly explained how the class was going to go and ensured us that modifying is OKAY! I loved that. It created such an inclusive and empowering community before the workout even begun. During the actual workout, I was pushed to my limits and ran faster than I've run in years. I loved the red room (it makes it look like your face isn't red at all!), Chelsea's playlist was bomb, and surprisingly, I loved the mirrors. Everyone in the room is focused on themselves. It doesn't feel competitive or hostile- it's really just you against yourself. I loved it. I will absolutely be going back. It may be pricey, but it's worth checking out if you're even the tiniest bit interested. OH, and they have a juice bar where you can preorder smoothies before your workout and they will be ready when you're done! I didn't get one this past time, but I am looking forward to trying on after my next class at Barry's!

I've been to Barry's a few times in NYC, but have fallen off my workout regimen for quite some time. I was in Charlotte visiting my in laws when I remembered Barry's opened a new location here! I booked without hesitation, but I'll admit I immediately regretted it. I grew pannicky, stressed, and nervous about my first workout in months. Let alone a Barry's workout! The women's locker room has you covered with spray deodorant, hair ties, and other amenities. The workout itself was awesome. I did the "double floor" workout so I was doing strength the whole time, which was grueling in a great way. Some things I'd change: there wasn't much of a "intro" for me, even though I was new to this studio, and admittedly I did feel a little lost when class began. That said, once I got into the groove of things, the class became 'easier'. Secondly, the hair ties are intended for super thin hair...so they don't really work for folks with thicker hair. I forgot my hair tie and had to rely on the ones they supply; it barely held my hair back. All in all: I will definitely be back!

I received a free intro class after attending a fitness event to this location. I was looking for a…read moremore whole body HIT workout (with no treadmills), and this workout definitely HIT! I've been looking for a change since quitting my last gym and wanted something that would target my whole body for a whole class instead of only 20 minutes at other gyms. Everyone was friendly from the staff, owner, and even others attending the class. They took the time out to explain everything to me in detail, the process, what to look for, and the heart rate monitors you wear during the class. The class itself consisted of 6 stations, rowers, bench, weights, and cycles, and you do different kinds of workouts in each station for about 2 min and then switch to a different station. It felt awesome, and I felt like I was able to target every muscle I wanted to in just this one class. I took advantage of their black Friday deals and will def be returning to get my workouts. If you are looking around for different workout options, I def. Recommend scheduling your free intro class here and see what it's all about. This is their only location. They do have a parking deck, but the ticket can be validated. Also, some street parking if you're lucky enough to snag a spot.

Volofit's mission is to be more than just a workout. They truly want to be a community and…read moreencourage you on your journey, whatever that may look like. The studio and equipment are top-notch, parking is free (validated garage parking), and they have showers! As far as the workout goes, I would say its a hybrid between F45 and Orange Theory. It's a circuit style workout, every workout is different, and the workout could include anything from battle ropes, slam balls, body weight exercises, assault bike, rower, dumbbells, kettlebells, pull ups, etc. Overall, it's a high-cardio class that incorporates strength training. Similar to Orange Theory, the class uses heart rate monitors (not required, but strongly encouraged). The goal of the class is to get "20 points," or 20 minutes at more than 70% of your max heart rate. If the above is the kind of workout you're looking for, then I recommend Volofit.

This review is for the STX free boot camp that they have every Monday and Wednesday:…read more I wasn't ready. Mentally or physically for what went down Wednesday night. I'll try to keep it short. (Yeah right! Lol) Overall- such a GREAT workout, experience and Emily breeze is so awesome!!! The only thing that kept me from quitting..well two things kept me from quitting. Knowing that summer is coming and my booty isn't where it needs to be and sheer will power to just keep going. I almost quit. Like literally said to myself "I can't do this...I so can't do this". And I heard the small inner former athlete say "yes.you.can" so I took another step...one more push up...one more lunge...one more squat. It's a brutal workout. I think we did (well I did because I couldn't do them all) at least 200 squats. I'm sure others did more. I think about 50 or more (I dunno I think I blacked out after a while) push ups, so many sprints, a bear crawl, back pedals, omg...my body was quivering. My mental state was shot....until something clicked and I remembered "yes I can". Sure I didn't do 20 squats at each cone, but I tried to do 15. I just kept moving. Never standing and never cheating myself out of the movement. I push well past my comfort zone. Along with about 200 people. It's a good mix of fitness levels and a great sense of community. I met some great people. Strangers were encouraging each other. The group clapped for those who were coming in last to encourage them. Amazing. By the time we got to the burpee plank series I was spent. I'm glad that was last. The ONLY reason why I'm kicking off a star is because at the end a big muscle guy kick my foot while I was in a modified plank hold (my knees were on the ground and I would alternate left and then right knee) and said "is that your plank?" I said "yes. You don't know my story. You try having stomach surgery" and he walked off. What I SHOULD have said was "is that your face? Oh it is? Then yes. This is my plank" That made me mad and confirmed why I don't xfit. I was judged by my plank and he kicked my foot. So for that, I kick off a star. At least my plank will get better...your face?? *shrugs shoulders* I'm going to go back. I am so happy that I didn't quit. It's challenging and it will help push me past my level of comfort!!!

Man oh man! While on our year long travels around the US, we found this FREE bootcamp on Charlotte…read moreon the Cheap's site looking for things to do. When I saw that it was co-led by THE Randy Moss, I knew we had to go, being a huge Patriots fan. Since we have been traveling around the US, we have really only been running and getting SOME body weight work in. This class whooped our asses haha! For a class size of about 200 people, it was very well organized! Everyone got a great workout, I felt like I could go ROUGHLY at my own pace, and everyone was very encouraging. I'd like to say that it is an all-levels class, but it really isn't. You would probably be better off with some athletic background or at least average/above average fitness level to keep up. I would be back if I am in the area again! Feel free to follow our travels at www.tandaintheusofa.com! One thing to note, is they do charge $5 to park in their lot, which we did not know. We did see many other people parking on the street perpendicularly across the street.

I've been twice now and it's a fun concept. The workout alternates between cardio days and strength training days. Those workouts also alternate themes and structure so you'll never get bored. It's very fast paced which can be a little overwhelming at first--especially if you're not familiar with the actual exercises. The balance here is that there are always two dedicated staffers available to ask questions and help you feel more comfortable with the movements. The instructors also monitor the room to fix your form. I do wish they would spend a little more time at the beginning of the class go over the agenda for the day, but again, you can always ask for one on one assistance as needed. They use A LOT of equipment which makes it fun. In one class we used 9 different pieces of equipment. Again, this can be intimidating at first, but switching it up really makes the class go by quickly. The gym is new and really clean, the women's bathroom is stocked with any supply you could need to be more comfortable during and after your workout such as dry shampoo, hair ties, deodorant etc. There is free parking in a garage attached to the building which is great in the uptown area! Highly recommend checking it out!

I highly recommend! I met the General Manager Tina and she gave me a tour before my workout showing me the different rooms, workout areas, and educating me on how everything works. She was really helpful and informative with the whole experience. They have multiple saunas that have video training classes done with actual trainers. There was a HIIT sauna, rowing machine class, and yoga. I chose to do the hot yoga and did the max temp of 130 degrees. It was one of the best workouts I've had in a while! I typically weight train at a gym in Noda, but I'll be signing up soon so I can add these workouts to switch it up & have variety in my training. If you go, ask for Tina!
