    I went to Barry's UWS for a weekday 6:40pm class after work. When I walked in, the class looked completely full (looked like ~50 spots between treads and floor). It was a very sweaty and exhausting 50 minutes, but such a great workout! For the standard Run X Lift Total Body class, you alternate twice between treadmill running and HIIT floor exercises. The instructions can be a little confusing the first time, as the instructor is explaining to the treads and floors simultaneously. You get used to it after a few sessions. The music was upbeat, and the class had such good energy to keep you going. Michael P. was a great instructor - positive, encouraging, and provided clear instruction. Compared to other Barry's locations I've been to, this one was spacious and well-ventilated, which I appreciated. If it weren't so pricey ($40/class), I would probably come more often. They do have a NYC first-timer special of 3 classes for $75.

    I had such a great time for my first class at this location! It was clean, the staff was extremely upbeat and helpful and the smoothie I had (matcha made in heaven) was amazing! I can't wait to come back for another class!

    Tucked in to a converted brownstone space, I have to admit I was a little concerned that this Barry's would feel cramped and hard to navigate but they've done a great job with the design. The lockers are stocked with the same great amenities and seemingly, there's more counter space so you're not on top of anyone when you're blowdrying your hair. That said, the new studio has an adorable charm (a fireplace nook!) and flows nicely. Can't wait to start going to this location regularly.

    hi :( i really don't want to be posting this but i just want my water bottle back! looks like the one pictured below lol :/ i called in because i left it in the bathroom and the worker retrieved it and said that i could pick it up the next day.. the next day came around and my cousin walked all the way there to grab it for me and the workers had no idea what i was talking about and said they didn't have it.. i know it was my fault i left it there but i would've came right back to grab it but the worker on the line said to just come back the next day which we came back for and they did not have my item for me barry's is already so expensive! i don't understand how anyone could take a water bottle.. it has sentimental value to me and i just want it back.. please and thank u will gladly take this down when i get it back

    Had an amazing workout with Kanu! I just recently moved from Boston to NYC and have been on the hunt for the best aka toughest instructors to take classes from, as I've taken a few here in NYC where the classes were just not up to par with what I'm used to. I heard great things about Kanu from another class-goer and decided to sign up for his 2pm class here. Everyone from the front desk staff to facilities was so friendly and helpful, and the class was amazing. He actually took first-timers in the studio a few min before class to show them the ropes and do a quick intro of the workout, something I actually think Barry's should do across the board as I've seen many confused patrons in almost all of my classes; while I love Barry's, I do believe that Barry's is not a new-to-fitness friendly workout. However, I am sure Kanu's intro was super helpful to the newbies, and I thoroughly enjoyed his workout. He was super clear and detailed about form on exercises which is always great, AND he is so kind and friendly, something you don't always get from the better instructors at high end fitness studios. The studio was clean and in such a great location too! I will be definitely be back in Kanu's classes and at this studio for sure!

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!

The locker rooms and workout studios are always nice and clean, which adds to the overall positive vibe.

The random guy comment? There's some guy who's apparently an owner or someone higher up who just shows up with no Sweat440 logos on so you don't know he works there, and he randomly shows up and starts yelling at you. First time it happened I thought a homeless person broke into the studio. He also was hyper-fixated on me especially when I was rowing - I rowed through college & have done many a Regatta, I know what i'm doing - and didn't focus on any of the other 20+ people. He singled me out to make me feel uncomfortable and when I filed a complaint nobody did a thing about it. He's probably the person telling his staff to cross boundaries with personal information. A guy in the FiDi location kept texting me begging me to buy a plan I said no I travel a lot and can't afford a package when i'm out of the country so much AND he continued to harass me and even made fun of me when I rushed out because I had to go pick up my Mom from the hospital. He literally texted me laughing and being abrasive when I said I had to get out of there I have something important to get to. Sweat440 continues to harrass, cross boundaries, and illegally share information without consent. I'm sick of it and officially never going back i'll find a new HIIT option.

The well-organized interior is quite vast and imposing, with minimalist architecture and theatrical lighting. This well-thought-out sports club was recently designed by the renowned architectural firm Vocon. Though the interiors and facilities do succeed in conveying quite an impressive sense of sophistication and training experience, they ultimately come across as a bit monotonous and generic compared to other clubs of TMPL that were conceived more inventively by Studio Sofield. 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. Baths featuring: ice baths; a hot tub; infrared sauna; Himalayan salt sauna; eucalyptus steam room; and a spacious spa recovery lounge. Great location: 200 Madison Avenue, between 35th and 36th Streets.

The cleaning crew seemed to be changing garbages, but not really cleaning the floor. I remember this Poland Spring bottle sitting on a windowsill that was there for over a week that no one even bothered to throw out.

The kindergarten staff doesn't care or want to be there, they rush you out as quickly as possible with zero warning and no time to even finish sets sometimes because they think the members are ON THEIR schedule. NOTHING redeeming about this place. TRUST this review. Go to Equinox, Lifetime, Crunch or any of these other new gyms in the area. People are joining and then quickly leaving this gym for a reason. Check the reviews. I've heard better things about the other locations, but that was years ago. Couldn't wait to get out of there, MUCH happier at another gym.

Form50 has a lot of offers -- 2 pack or 2 week unlimited membership for new clients, various class packs and being listed on ClassPass. Towels are only free for members; otherwise, it's $3 per towel. The facility is very clean and aesthetic too. I also like how there are more than enough lockers, compared to some fitness studios where I feel like I have to scramble for locker space.
