    Barry's Chlesea is one of the nicer studios I have been to for Barrys. The red room in this studio is a great size and it also has windows in it which in other red rooms i have been to there are no windows. So to have some sunlight coming through was nice. The staff here that I interacted with were nice and helpful. I just wish it wasn't so far out of my way to come here more often for classes.

    Per usual, the staff is lovely here. There are much fewer lockers here compared to the other Barry's, but there are a good amount of showers (5 regular, 1 handicapped). The locker room area is just a bit tight here

    Wow I cannot say enough about this location! Not only is it spacious, the employees are next level! I always come to Barry's (almost every day) and always have a fantastic experience. Barry's is always a quality and fun workout. ESPECIALLY with Erick! One of my favorite trainers. He is not shy at all about pushing us to our limits individually, and I always find myself going for higher speeds and never taking breaks on the floor, getting the most out of my workout always. I always try to go to his classes as his energy and enforcing of your own accountability are unmatched. However, what sets this particular studio apart is the amazing staff. On my way out of the studio, I accidentally tossed my tank top in with the towels into the laundry bin. I realized when I got home that I didn't have it, and immediately called to see if they could look around for it. They are such a busy studio, always balancing people coming in and out of workouts, and they were able to take my calls and be patient with my panicked overreaction. It's so easy for studios to just ignore small issues like these and not really search for lost items, but they made sure to do a deep search and were able to find my tank! Laundered and everything! They called and let me know that they had set it in the back for me to pick up after work! I am so appreciative and will for sure be coming back to this location. Thank you so much for everything!!

    I had been wanting to try Barry's for some time. And with a few VERY minor exceptions, it really is five-stars all around! Firstly, I want to point out that it isn't necessarily a "bootcamp" - at least the class I was in, no one is screaming at you. The goal is to stick with it as long as you can, but no one else's workout is depending on yours. The only workout depending on your workout is your own. How hard can YOU work, and how can you change your body? While they don't have any "first-timer" discounts, I have had several friends going regularly and so I decided to give it a try. The concept is a bit confusing but fairly simple once you wrap your head around it. It's a two-part workout: cardio and weights. You can easily go at your own level and feel comfortable whether you are a newbie or well-seasoned. Choose a spot: Treadmill or floor. Don't worry about which one you choose - you'll get a chance to do both. Your spot has a number (T-11 or F-11 for example) which corresponds to the spot in the room you'll be in. Then, during the workout, you'll switch to the opposite spot in the room (if you started on the treadmill, you'll move to the floor - and if you started on the floor, you'll switch to the treadmill). Note: If you choose Double Floor (any spot with a DF before it, you won't be on the treadmill at all for the entire class) The workout itself is about getting your heart rate up, and weight training to maximize your body's ability to burn fat and build muscle. Since you'll be doing more reps - it's more about toning than bulking up, which is perfect for my own goals. On the treadmill, it will involve various inclines and sprints, anywhere from 4-9 minutes at a time. And on the floor, a combination circuit of anywhere from 4-9 minutes at a time. As always, every class depends on your instructor. We had Harley, who was awesome - while there wasn't much individual attention as he is continuously giving direction to both the "shredders" on the treadmill and to the others on the floor - he always made sure to give examples of the routine before each one. The class flowed smoothly. The lockers are small - complete with digilocks so you don't need to bring your own lock. They have towel service with Malin & Goetz products (the showers are SUPER tiny). And protein shakes and snacks from Hu Kitchen in the entry area. Overall, a great class, and I will definitely be back soon. I'm even thinking of trying out one of their Academies - 5 days a week for a month at the same time every day! As a heads up, if you only buy a single class, it will set you back $34.

    Summary: Excellent workout... But trainers seem to come and go...Premises could be kept better. Workout: alternating HIIT workout between treadmill and floor ( weights ). Will make you break a sweat... Challenging and effective workout with good music Premises: seems there are constant showers out of order, a number of lockers are broken or dont work. You would think for the amount of money we are spending per class the place would be kept up better Store: they have everything you need from workout attire to bottled water to protein shakes and food. Try the acai berry shake. It's delicious. Instructors: I dislike that some of the best instructors have left, like Kenneth and Noah. Wish they had a better employee retention rate.

The lockers may be tricky if it's your first time using one of theirs, so ask a staff for help before locking your stuff unexpectedly! It was my first Barry's class + I did an Arms x Run class. You start on either the floor or treadmill, then you're instructed to swap stations 2xs, so that you do each section twice. You can opt to be on either the floor or treadmill the whole time though. The format of the class takes a second to get used to, since the instructor directs both sections at the same time. I personally think it's easier to be on the treadmill, since you're mostly jogging or doing sprints. If there's one con, I wish there was more space between the lockers inside the women's locker rooms and the vanity area post shower. Definitely a HIIT style class to get used to, but I loved sweating it out! Barry's is unfortunately on the higher price of workout classes ($40), but a standard price for NYC, sadly. Overall, would def return for a Barry's class, when they have more class deals!

Four stations, with different exercises but a general daily focus (Upper, Lower, Core) It's really a simple, elegant concept, well-executed. You get in an amazing workout in a tight 40 minutes. The instructors will come around to encourage and help, but you do need to be a bit of a self-starter, or comfortable following the video screens, as it can get busy with four different groups cycling through their exercise--I guess 12 different exercises at all, often going on at once. In the past, my one quibble was with the showers, but I've had good experiences here of late--just a great space to get in an incredible and efficient workout.

It's a mix of strength and conditioning circuits, four ten-minute cycles. It was a pretty good workout, and used a mix of equipment (sled, bike, free weights, SkiErg, etc.) The music was fun and upbeat. Only complaint is that the coaches don't really correct your form so you need to know how to do the exercises, unless you can learn from what is displayed on your screen. You also have to tell them it's your first time at the front desk and they will walk through the workout. Would recommend for the convenience and variety of exercises though!

Diverse and up-to-date athletic machines: a mix of traditional and cutting-edge equipment, including cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights, all new and great selections. Here are a few more details of this new gym: 1. Fully equipped weight floor, featuring Arsenal Strength equipment designed for maximum performance, superior quality, and the most effective workouts. 2. Hot yoga studio within a serene, state-of-the-art space designed to enhance flexibility and mindfulness through expertly heated sessions. 3. Pilates Reformer Studio, featuring Allegro 2 Reformers by Balance Body, at times characterized as the gold standard in versatility and performance. 4. Boxing ring built for high-energy classes that challenge strength, speed, and endurance. 5. Expansive functional turf zone, designed for dynamic training, agility work, and full-body conditioning. 6.
