The only thing I'm mad about is that I didn't try Barry's sooner! It was so great, Tommy was an awesome teacher and really motivating. The staff were all super welcoming. To add the facility is super clean with great bathroom products. read more

Barry's Marina - Trainers Near Me - San Francisco, California

The red room is pretty spacious at this location. There was ample space to walk between both the benches and treadmills without running into other people during the switches! Our instructor wasn't very lively or encouraging though as others I've taken. I thought the cues were also a little confusing at times, and the room felt hotter than other Barry's in the area. However, this is very teacher specific and everyone has their own preferences. Parking can be SUCH a pain though. Saw a few people getting dropped off by Ubers. We snagged a spot right outside the studio but for a staggering $7.50/hour after 12pm ($7.80 really via the app bc the machine wouldn't take our cards!). There's free 2 hour parking a few blocks away, but we didn't see any available spots. It's a good location for people who live in the Marina, but I would not go out of my way to come to this studio if you don't live nearby. The parking alone is just ridiculous. read more

ClassPass review**** I'm on the hunt for a new gym so naturally I had to give Barry's in the Marina a try. I've heard mixed reviews but I absolutely loved it! I was regularly going to OrangeTheory and this is very similar but some key differences I'll get into. The class is split 50/50 between cardio & strength training. I was automatically assigned a work station when I booked and unclear if this is a "ClassPass" thing or a "Barry's" thing. I didn't mind it but if one is working out with friends or very particular about where they are in class, it's an important note. Parking can be a bitch depending on day/time but there is a parking garage around the corner for $4.35 per hour so totally doable if on a time crunch. There's lockers for your personal items. Locker rooms are huge, fully equipped with all the things: shower, blow dryers, DO, dry shampoo, tampons, etc. There was also a fuel bar which I def want to try next time around! Reception went through a quick overview of the class template, which is very standard to most HIIT classes. Class was very dim. Did I fear falling off my treadmill because it was dark???? lowkey lol The music is also super loud, it's a lot of fun! Tommy K was leading the class that day. The energy and vibes were high! The floor was a combination of dumbbell and core work. The treadmill focused on pushing your speeds. I think a key difference between OTF and Barry's was level of intensity. Where OTF is more structured and guided. Barry's felt more challenging. I could see this being more intimidating to walk into if you're never taken a similar workout class before. Instructions are clear but it's fast paced. Overall, a lot of fun and I could see myself coming a few times a week. Staff were so nice and welcoming! The price is......pricey so time will tell! read more

Instructors at this location are sub par and sub fit. They do not pay people enough to be full time fitness instructors so the vast majority of the teachers are okay at best and the best teach at obscure times. Not a lot of evening offerings, and the evening classes that are offered are usually taught by the less desirable teachers. They have very few teachers that are anywhere near aspirational or educated enough to warrants the $40 price tag. read more

Such a fun workout! We will definitely come back. Our coach was great with high energy. I developed a love for fitness over the years and this type of class is fun to switch it up from my normal routine. The smoothies at their in-house smoothie bar were delicious. read more

I really like this Barry's location - it's definitely better than FiDi in my opinion since there's so much more space. I think they told me this location has the biggest red room in the country. I didn't use to like Barry's classes but they've definitely grown on me and they're a great workout. You can absolutely go at your own pace and the instructors won't pressure you to do more than you can. My favorite instructor Riti moved away but I've enjoyed most of the other instructors - Tommy is one I go to often. They have a lot of class times so you can definitely find one that works for you! They have a fuel bar with smoothies you can pick up after class but they're pricy I think around $12. read more

I started my Barry's journey here at the marina district, it's been awesome so far! I started with Tommy and he basically gave me a rundown of how it should all work. I also like that their lockers aren't the combination locks like most gyms are! Everyone there is so friendly and wants to know how to pronounce your name correctly which I absolutely loved. I made a pact with myself to work out and get healthy this year. i've never taken more than 30 classes at different locations and have never been so excited to attend a class. It is recommended for anyone looking to change their body , burn some fat, lose some weight and build mental health. thanks barrys marina! read more

I've been going to Barry's at least 2x/month via Class Pass. The only reason I am docking off the one star is for the price. Kinda steep at $34/class, but with Class Pass, it breaks it down to about ~$25 a class with the plan that I chose. If you're hoping to attend Barry's more consistently, they do offer packages, but pricing does vary depending on location. Class Pass is definitely a great alternative if you'd like to attend classes here and there. The only classes I've tried out at this location have been Full Body (Sunday) and Arms & Abs (Monday). I've tried Abs on a Thursday, but at the SoMa location! Although this is a little further of a drive from me, it definitely is easier to find parking. It's a lot bigger too with more spots available to choose from. I've had Vanessa, Kathryn, and Brian as my instructors. They're all great. They play great music and are have tons of energy to motivate you through the hour. When you book your spot, you can either choose between FLOOR (F), TREADMILL (T), and DOUBLE FLOOR (DF). You alternate between the floor and tread for several rounds. Time spent on the floor and tread depends on your instructor. They've got Woodway treadmills which are fantastic. It makes it so easy to switch between incline levels & speeds with a quick push of a number. I definitely feel a lot more support on my feet running on these! Personally, when I do arms & abs, I like to start off on the tread just because I like to get my body warmed up and that way I don't have to end up on the tread on the last round so I won't be so out of breath, haha. With class pass though, you don't really have the option to choose where you want to be, but sometimes, if the class isn't too crazy full, you can request to be on a tread if you aren't booked on one already. The workouts can definitely be intense. Weights start at 8 lbs and the instructors usually have the ladies start at a minimum of 10-15 lbs! On the tread you alternate speeds & incline. The incline runs are what kills me the most, but the more I've come to Barry's, the stronger & faster I've become! Not gonna lie, the first time I attended a class here... I thought wow, this is the hardest workout I've ever done. But being around a class full of people definitely pushes you to workout harder! I always feel great afterwards. Like damn, I made it through a whole hour of that - go me! The bathrooms are equipped with some great amenities. They've got Oribe everything - that's that good stuff! They've got plenty of towels, makeup remover wipes, blow dryer, tampons, hair ties... all you need really! Lockers are available in the women's bathroom, but also in the hallway outside. They have a fuel bar where you can pre-order your post-workout smoothie so it'll be ready for you after class. My all-time favorite is Barrys & Brunch! I can't wait until they open their Burlingame location! read more

I went to give it another try and finally felt like this was the experience I was looking for. It was organized and the instructor was fantastic! The last time I went it was a doozy and I felt disappointed and upset with the overall experience but decided i'd give it another chance. This boutique fitness is definitely for people who are intermediate in fitness. I began working out consistently for the last few months and took this class and felt that I was able to keep up which wasn't the case 6 months ago. can't wait to go back again! read more

Barry's boot camp at the Marina location is such a clean and nice facility. I took Brian's class and he was pumped and full of energy. It really helped keep the class at a fast pace and energized. The boot camp class does involve a lot of treadmill running which I'm not super into, but overall it was a good sweaty workout. read more

I've been to this Barry's a few times and it's great! Took Vanessa's class today and she was so good. The perfect balance of energy, motivation, and encouragement. The class was hard though don't get me wrong. read more

Have been twice so far - first time led by Brian and second time by Tommy. Brian was friendly and helped me through my first time at Barry's. Tommy had awesome energy. Workout alternates between running and floor exercises. They make it challenging enough to get a good sweat going but not too hard that I want to never come back again. The only downside is how freaking pricey it is, but then again the cleanliness and quality of their facility in on point! Another thing is street parking may or may not be difficult to find, so give yourself at least 10 minutes of buffer time. read more

Am I the only person who doesn't understand the hype about Barry's? I'm very active, been a member at Equinox for years, have tried a large variety of workout classes, and most of my hobbies involve outdoors / physical exercise. Somehow, Barry's is on the bottom of "things I really don't enjoy." It is a decent workout, but I don't see the appeal of paying $30 to do 300 squats during a 50 min class. The workouts are incredibly repetitive especially if you're on double floor. I would much rather pay double the amount to get a personal trainer come to my own house in LA instead. The instructor here at Barry's doesn't demonstrate anything, and a lot of ppl are either doing the wrong workouts or doing them in the wrong form. There's absolutely no individual attention, and it's wildly easy to injure yourself. You're MUCH better off getting a personal trainer to make sure your forms are right, getting a gym membership, using the equipment at the gym and following free YouTube workouts than spending $30 per class here. Also, it's kind of an unwritten rule that you have to be in full Lululemon here. I felt kind of out of place wearing Alo instead. read more

They offer a good workout. Gym is clean, nice and open. Lots of people look forward to these classes. Their customer support is also good. They do a good job to use common sense vs rigid rules. read more

Well, this was a pretty incredible experience. Barry's ran a corporate trial with my employer and so my fiancé and I signed up for two free classes. She'd been before and seemed to think I might like it, but I was skeptical; I'd never done a "bootcamp" style class before and am generally weirded out by the fitness class cults in the Marina. But, we live in the Marina now, so I thought why not. We were almost late getting into the class, so it was a bit of a rush checking in while they explained the treadmill controls to us. The crowd of beautiful people in workout attire waiting to enter the class was a little foreboding and I felt what I thought was their stares of disapproval as I walked to the front desk, wearing unflattering baggy shorts and a loose free t-shirt from a triathlon four years ago. We ran into the class, high-fiving the instructor on the way in. Nervous because of our tardiness and finding it hard to focus with the low light in the studio, I almost missed the instructor's palm. A free towel in hand, we walked to the treadmills and almost immediately our instructor began screaming into the microphone. Our instructor was an impressively built young woman with an impressive amount of energy. The speakers seem to distort out of the box. Either they'd been worn down by years of loud music or this was just how they were. I didn't wear earplugs, which I thought I'd regret but the studio was big enough that the sound didn't overwhelm the space and cause my ears to hurt. We started off on the treadmill. I'm no stranger to running (and continue to hate it) but there's something...magical about those treadmills. It could be the fact that it was dark enough in the studio that I couldn't really validate if my shoelaces were actually tied and, consequently, how close to imminent death I was. Alternatively, it could be the fact that our instructor was determined to make us run at speeds that I was certain were impossible and that somehow they weren't AND while running faster than I ever have before, my shoelaces didn't come loose and result in an Friday evening visit to the ER. After 11 minutes of running while being barraged by some aggressive electronic (dubstep?) music, we swapped with our friends on the mats. This was very confusing to me, it was hard to hear the instructor as her voice distorted, so it was mostly a case of looking in the mirror at the beautiful people on mats around me and trying to copy them. The instructor didn't seem to give much in the way of actual advice on form (although that's usually been my experience with these large scale exercise classes), but that was fine by me as I struggled to keep up. 6 minutes of flailing with weights later and we moved back to the treadmills to run some more at unimaginable speeds. All in all, I burned just over a thousand calories (wearing a Garmin Forerunner and a chest heart rate monitor - which is a reasonably accurate way of doing things). This was really quite impressive, given that the cardio portion of the class was closer to ~30 minutes of the total 60. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would - the aggressive nature of the music and the sheer pressure to absolute crush it on the treadmill made for an oddly motivating environment that really helped me push it. I suspect I'll be joining the cult for some more dubstep and running! read more

Bootcamp where especially the girls are pretty tacky silicon lip like. The classes are usually so overdriven that most people don't actually follow the trainers because it is not realistic to actually do the exercise, which follows the general superficial scheme. Most people also don't look very athletic, although that's fine. I'm not a fan at all, what turns me off above all is the social aspect which is more similar to a strange cult, so if you're religious, it could be for you. read more

Continue to love on Barry's marina day in and day out - this workout is just the best in the business. Each time you take a class, it's a new sequence of runs and floor work. I appreciate all the staff and instructors as they truly care about your workout, health, and well being. Big shout out to my favorite instructor for his hard core Wednesday morning classes, Vidal! Thanks for you do for our Barry's community! His classes are top notch, fun, energetic, very hard, but very rewarding. Always walk out of CHABS day with a smile on my face. With that said, you can try any of the amazing instructors and you won't be disappointed! The prices are steep, I recommend balling out and buying a holiday package for the 4 days they offer them in December. Otherwise, try to get your company on corporate perks for year round packages! It's worth the mula, treat yourself to Barry's instead of things that are bad for your body!! read more

Barry's Marina - News Barry's decor - Trainers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Jezuuuz! Barry's!! Where have you been all of my life!?! I've tried it all: Orangetheory Fitness, Soul Cycle, CycleBar, Life Time Fitness, RacePace, Ryde... YOU GET THE IDEA! Let me just say that no other gym that I have been to compares to Barry's Bootcamp. I leave Barry's sore AF every time! I've been in San Francisco for a few months on business and after going to my regular Orangetheory Fitness classes over in SoMa I couldn't help but notice the crowd across the street at Barry's. Curiosity got the best of me and I decided to check it out one weekend. I go in, get the DL on how everything works and the setup is very similar to Orangetheory minus the water-rowing. Before class starts, the trainer comes out and introduces themselves, gives an overview of what's to come in the workout (which you should already know because the muscle groups worked that day are posted on the Barry's app), and asks for any newbies to introduce themselves in case they need to go over the basic workouts and Barry's lingo used inside the 'RED ROOM'.. badass name for the workout floor right? The gym also has a smoothie/shake bar for convenience, I highly encourage you to order ahead before class starts so that your drink is ready for you after the workout. Alright, so what do the workout consist of? High intensity running on fancy Woodway treadmills and weight lifting and resistance ropes. Every spot inside is reserved ahead of time by you when you book your class online. You can start on the weight floor or you can start on treadmills, whichever you chose. Every day is a different muscle group that is worked out and it is usually broken down like this: Monday: Arms & Abs Tuesday: Ass & Legs Wednesday: Chest, Back & Abs Thirsty Thursday: ALL ABS Friday, Sat, Sunday: FULL BODY WORKOUT So far, I have enjoyed every single workout I have taken. I've been to all the Barry's Bootcamps in San Francisco and FiDi is the most convenient location from where I usually stay but Marina is my second choice for sure. I honestly don't think it really makes a difference, the same coaches rotate throughout the week which I thought was cool. Let's talk pricing.. It's not cheap! Compared to Orangetheory, Equinox, Life Time Fitness.. Barry's Bootcamp is by far the most expensive. What makes all the other gyms great is that for a flat rate you can take unlimited classes however with Barry's you have to choose a package with an amount of classes. The cheapest package is 5 classes for $135, and it is non-transferable if you want to take a class in a different region other than San Francisco. I don't know how long I plan to be in San Francisco so I've always purchased the 5 class package just to be on the safe side and not waste my money. Overall, I love Barry's! I wish there were more locations, especially in my hometown of Houston, TX (PRAYING THEY LAUNCH ONE THERE!!) and I wish they had some sort of unlimited membership for a flat monthly fee. But the workouts are so awesome that I just keep coming back. If you want to DIE (in a good way) and sweat your balls off, check this place out!! read more

I just hit my second Barry's class ever here and I'm sold. Anthony Cabrera's class absolutely rocked and he convinced me that Barry's is worth the premium. Also, I parked in the structure around the corner on Pierce for $3 for 1 hour. Hope you all enjoy your workout read more

Great morning workout session while traveling for work! Would highly recommend. The red room is larger than typical NY studios and instructors are very into the workout. Clean locker rooms with plenty of lockers. read more

Barry's Marina - Trainers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am a lifelong athlete and I have now taken 26 classes at Barry's. I was really excited because, at first, it *feels* like a really good workout (and it is!)...however, with time one realizes that it is not a balanced workout and becomes stale pretty quickly - same movements, same exercises, same music. I would like to say that it is good for beginners to give them a baseline in terms of what a good workout should feel like, but I would also caution beginners to beware of getting injured. One would think that instructors would give just a bit of guidance on form/technique, but generally, that doesn't happen and the things I have seen people struggling through have made me quietly hope/pray that the person doesn't get injured. Most of the instructors are nice enough. But as I mentioned before, I feel like some of them could pay a bit more attention to making sure people are doing exercises safely. Pushing people to run as fast as they do, they should be more aware of correcting obviously bad running form to prevent injuries - especially since many people that go probably haven't had any training in the past. They would probably say that it is not their responsibility and I am sure any liability is signed away when one joins, but it would be the correct thing to do. The social aspect of Barry's is undoubtedly why some people return for hundreds of classes, but it is a very specific demographic. I am not very social and really just go for the workout so I can't say much about it, but there is definitely a type. Not saying it is bad or good, but it is obvious immediately. Nobody has ever been rude and everyone seems welcoming, but the whole vibe feels a bit insincere. Barry's is, by all accounts, a super successful business and that's great for them, but it becomes quite apparent early on that this place has one goal and it is to get money from people. One class is $37. A 30-day monthly membership is a staggering $510 (and I am pretty certain if there are 31 days in the month you would not be allowed to take that extra day unless you shelled out $39 more). There are class packages in-between these two tiers, but they are all priced extremely high and I, personally, don't feel the product is worth the money. I believe since I started going about four months ago the prices have been raised twice and from reading what other people have written in the past they keep steadily going up. I, personally, have not had any negative experiences at Barry's, but I got an email today reminding me of the paltry perks I get from going to classes and it made me think about what Barry's actually is: Going on a beach vacation? Great! Barry's is a good workout for a short amount of time to lean out given that the whole class consists of cardio (even the lifting part), but other than that it's pretty one-note and boring long-term. read more

So glad that Barry's opened a location in the Marina! The place is a little bigger compared to the SOMA location. Same amenities, instructors and heart pumping workout. There's something about working out in a dark, red lit room with loud music that gets you in the zone. I've never sprinted to fast in my life and the high energy in the room helps me push through the burn. For those who haven't been to Barry's before, the class is divided into two groups. Each group switches off between the treadmills and floor work. On the treadmills, you're going to run and sprint, alternating speed and elevation. The instructor will give you a range of speeds to choose from so you could adjust according to your level. They also do a great job giving sufficient cuing, instruction and encouragement. Classes are pricey here, but hey it's San Francisco... read more

Love this place! The energy, the motivation, the teamwork, the sweat, all of it! Highly recommend to crush goals, look good, feel good!

My favorite location out of all in SF. The instructors at this location are amazing, and the overall class feel is different when you're doing this work out with so many other people. My favorite instructors are Erica and Michelle here, so if ya get the chance, don't miss their class! For first timers - just know that these instructors are here to push you and get you out of your comfort, but in the end, you're the one in control. You are in control of your own treadmill and you're the one doing your own weights. So don't be intimidated, and just do your best +1! They have an awesome locker room, with face wash, shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels, makeup wipes, hair ties, tampons, and more. It's fully stocked + a shake bar for you to preorder protein drinks for after your class. You just let them know what you want before the class, and it'll be ready right when you come out, but also $$$ and IMO, doesn't always taste the best. read more

I've been to each of the Barry's in SF and this location is by far my favorite. Unfortunately, it's also the farthest when I'm in town for work. That said, the studio is pretty spacious, with a great photo-friendly wall near the Fuel Bar that doubles as a space for pre or post class stretches. They also have a bin of foam rollers if you need. The studio itself is pretty big and unlike studios in other cities, it feels like you almost have too much space (first world problem if there ever was one). There is plenty of space for you and your weights. The classes are nonstop with great music to keep you motivated. read more

Fantastic workout, beautiful facilities, truly feels like a luxury workout experience. They have the best treadmills so your knees and ankles are more protected. Very high energy and definitely moves fast so you do want to have some experience with lifting/running before attending. read more

Huge fan! The workouts and instructors are great! Everyone is friendly and they remember your name. I've seen results in the 6 months I've been going, usually 3 to 4 times a week. read more

Tried Barry's for the first time today and it was super fun! The class is really encouraging and you can modify your workout to be the perfect challenge for you! It goes by pretty fast since you are constantly changing up the workout. They also have great smoothies you can buy after class too. I got the skinny b*tch and it was really good! read more

Okay, honestly, I'd rather be playing tennis, soccer, basketball, or some sport like that for exercise. I got on ClassPass and had heard of Barry's Bootcamp in SF, so I decided to try the one in the Marina. The class leader was organized and had it down. She was trying to help me along in my first class here. It's weights, stepper, and treadmill...quite a bit of treadmill work. I have been going to gyms in the last 10 years, so it's possible for me to get this workout down. It's much better if you go with someone you know, but that's not always the case. The staff are nice and were interested in knowing about my experience. The facility is first-rate with a nice bathroom with showers. They play loud EDM music and that was okay for me. I'd come out for this workout again. Barry's is a real operation. read more

First class I was like meh.. it kind of gave me a CrossFit-ish vibe. Now after 10 classes I'm hooked and obsessed! I wasn't much into running, but now I even kind of enjoy it. You leave the room knowing that you've successfully worked out for the day and great energy flows in that room! read more

Some Barrys classes are worth the money and some are definitely not. The good classes usually fill up immediately (there are now so few of them). If you see a Saturday or a Sunday morning class that has lots of open spaces less than a week before the class, it means it's a shitty class and not worth it. It makes me sad that Barry's charges the same $$$$$ for the shitty classes as for the good classes. You come out of some of the classes feeling super ripped off. read more

One of my top 2 favorite gyms in the city! The workout is stellar. The culture is inclusive; they push you without pushing you away. The trainers care. The front desk staff MAKES the whole experience. Not sure what's in their protein shakes but they're always helpful, quick to assist, and just positive vibes all around and I've never seen that anywhere else. The juice bar is YUM. I really wish I could recommend one trainer for you to start with but they're all uniquely talented and show up for you in their own way. I will say Graylon's classes are dope because he'll go out of his way to remember your name, give you a shoutout in class- which makes you know he cares, and he'll also tell you 'I love you' in class when you even think about giving up on yourself. Lol! read more

Barry's Marina - Graylon's birthday! - Trainers Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm so grateful for my friend that forced me to go to a Barry's class with her over a year ago. First, shoutout to the company that was offering a healthcare discount before it became trendy due to COVID. This company did a great job adapting to the situation created by the pandemic with their at home offerings. The outdoor classes have been a blessing because I am still not quite comfortable with fully indoor workouts. They check temperatures, require masks, socially distance workstations, and sanitize heavily in between classes. Barry's has always been a class act of a company. The classes are challenging but offer appropriate modifications and it's a really nonjudgmental environment (personally I'm too focused on not passing out to pay attention to what anyone else is doing). read more

My first time at Barry's today, I almost chickened out. Got there, the staff at the check in desk was super helpful and kind. Be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes early to check in, store your belongings in a keyless locker and grab a towel. And seriously I felt like I walked into a fitness expo. Hot people alert. I couldn't tell if they were models or trainers. J/k they're just like you and me but with a desire to workout and fit AF. In a glance, they remind me of Regina Georges or Aaron Samuels' but fitter. Don't be intimidated, they're really nice. The first 20 minutes of class felt like eternity. I'd suggest signing up the treadmill first if it's your first time so you can warm up your body. If you think everything can go wrong during your workout, it can happen because it happened to me. My hand kept knocking the "emergency stop trigger" off the treadmill so I'd suddenly halt in the middle of my sprint. The instructor came by quickly and helped. Totally annoyed that I couldn't figure out what happened. Dripping sweat and onto the floor, I forgot a towel. I felt bad for the other person coming back to this station (sorry)! When it came to elastic bands, my station was completely missing them... again I had to wave down the instructor for help. At this point, I felt empowered to be as strong and as fast as my neighbors. The high energy in a semi-dark room was truly bad a$$. There's an optional 2-3 minutes at the end to cool down/stretch. Great amenities in Women's locker, bathroom, shower. Smoothie bar inside where you can preorder so that it will be waiting for you after your session. I can't wait to sprint at 9-10 one day. Can I just say how impressed I am with this Barry's?! Now go, go sign up and challenge yourself! read more

I've been coming in since Feb 2022. Lately I've been going 5-6 days a week. I'm impressed with everyone that works here - customer support team, cleaners, front desk, and instructors. My overall experience with them is all positive. I've taken almost all of the instructors at the Marina studio. They are ALL good, but just like therapy, it takes time to find your perfect match. My favorite instructors are: 1. Tommy K. - he's the only one I find consistent. I know I'll get a good workout no matter how Tommy K is feeling or how the energy of the room is doing. He lays out the moves slowly so everyone can follow. If you're doing the move wrong, he will stop to help you - something I've only seen Tommy K do. For that, he's my personal favorite instructor. 2. Brian - he gives stellar workouts. For the most part, I leave his class feeling like I got my moneys worth. Some days, he will get a good energized crowd and those days tend to be way better because Brian feeds off the energy in the crowd. 3. The dynamic Duo - Tommy S + Brian. Sometimes, Tommy S will linger around and sort of hype people up at Brian's Friday 1:30pm class. Honestly, it's a good mix of energy and workout. I really wish they would teach a full class like this. A pure Tommy S class is a bit too much for me personally (it's a me problem). However, the dynamic duo is like the perfect blend - Brian's focused workouts + Tommy's hype energy. 4. Nick - I've only taken a few of his classes due to the timing he teaches, but he has my taste in music and Instead of asking people to cheer for their neighbors, he just says to stick your middle finger up in the air which always makes me smile. 5. Armand - great music and he will call you out if he sees you pushing yourself harder which I like because it shows he's paying attention to his students. I do spend around $500/month for this, but I got abs in just 3 months. Take my money. 100% worth it. Last, but not least, the shower product! Chefs kiss. The cherry on top. Thank you Barry's Marina team for helping me finally stick to a New Years Resolution! read more

What happened to the Oribe products! Barry's is a premium price class, but always enjoyed the products.

I have recently incorporated some workout classes like Barry's into my routine and it's a nice change up. To start off, I've been using classpass (netflix of gyms), to get Barry's sessions. I've been on the classpass trial for a while, as I keep referring people to the app for more $5 / month pricing. It usually takes 13 credits on classpass which is around $25~ in cash value. The nature of the place is clean, friendly and fun. There are lockers and a juice bar (around $10 a drink that you can preorder so it's ready for you when class is over - great up-sell strategy). The classes itself is combined of sets of tredmill cardio (in various speeds and incline) as well as weights. Depending on what class you signed up for, the weights exercise can be more of an arms/abs workout or a full body workout. I believe there is also a legs class but i haven't tried that yet. Usually the instructor is shouting at you for motivation and the music is high paced which is great for getting the pump up. I also, like that the room you workout has a cool temperature. I dig it! They have towels and quite the amenities in the bathroom such as nice soap, girl stuff - hair ties,etc. Overall 4 stars, dinged off one for pricing. These exercises you can actually do yourself at a regular gym if you have the discipline. read more

I am so thankful they have outdoor classes in Fort Mason during the pandemic! Although there's no treadmill portion the classes are still great! read more

Has anyone been to BARRYS lately?!! Very disappointed. Good Class, TERRIBLE customer service. So I just went to my first class post covid. I was excited, I was a regular before, loved it all. Little did I know they don't care at all about the retention of their clients. Anyways, class was great, got a good sweat in. It was after class that I wanted a protein shake from their smoothie bar and they completely denied the service because "I shouldve pre ordered it." I said it was my first time post covid and they used to sell smoothies post class and never had a problem. The woman at the front desk was so rude, she was like yea, sorry if you're not taking another class we can't make it for you. Didn't give me any options, she was just so rude. AFTER I PAID A $32 class you won't sell a smoothie to your regular client??!! So bizarre to me how they would just deny the service with no remorse at all. They never communicated their new way of pre ordering nor did they care to apologize. Very sad to see poor customer service in good businesses just because theyre big enough to not care. Has anyone had this problem? Looks like I'm staying with Corepower and Soulcycle.. would rather have a good sweat in a much friendlier environment. Thanks but no thanks Barrys. read more
