I did one intro class and I knew it was the gym for me. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, the WOD's are super fun and effective, and the members are friendly and welcoming.

I'm nearing the end of my first month and I already know this is meant to be my new gym home.

My girlfriends and I have been talking about getting together for a work out class for the past…read morecouple of months. When one of them found a Groupon for Empower: 5 group kickboxing classes for $19 (according to Groupon, originally $200), we decided to go for it. Our first class was on Wednesday, August 10th at 5:30pm. Johnny taught our class and he was awesome! Would make sure our technique was correct without making us feel like we were doing it completely wrong. Great in a class atmosphere if you get a little shy in group classes. We started off with jumping jacks as part of our warm up. Then we paired up and he taught us boxing combos. We would take turns punching and blocking/receiving. Great way to get out aggression. Most of the class was spend doing this. Then we went into their version of burpees, running in place, and some kind of crab/bear/spider crawl. When I was giving up during my crawl, Johnny kept cheering me on. We ended with crunches (which luckily for me, weren't too bad) and of course high fives to finish up the class. This isn't in the fine print for the Groupon, but it's only valid for their Monday or Wednesday class at 5:30pm, so keep that in mind before purchasing. For those who get off at 5:30pm or later, I wouldn't suggest getting this as you can't apply it to any other classes. Great first class. I haven't worked out in over a year, so it was nice breaking a sweat and punching out some pented frustration. Looking forward to my second class!

Great value for your workout! The coaches are knowledgeable on technique with boxing and form…read more I bought the Groupon for one month and have made it my goal to be consistent with working out this month. They make it easy to go to a class as you don't have to sign up for a class prior to attending. You can just show up and they can accommodate you. My choose this gym because it convenient from my work and I can walk here after work. The only thing is that they make you purchase their shirt as part of their "uniform" policy if you go and are there for their Groupon. Shirts are $13 each which is not bad, but just beware and know this beforehand.

Such a great studio and community.

I took a little break from my home gym to come here for my first class. I've know about Barry's for…read moreyears but always chickened out coming because I'm averse to treadmills. I used to run competitively outdoors, so running inside on a treadmill doesn't hit the same. Still I gave it a chance and am quite glad I did. I joined for a 9:30 AM Saturday full body upper body focus class, and it was super energizing. With rapid spring and strength sets synced to a pulsing, high-octane playlist, the workout started my weekend on a high note. Aside from the workout, what facilities I saw and used were clean and odor-free. Staff were polite but a bit rushed. The layout of the room the class I took was held in was a bit confusing to navigate in the dim lighting. They do have a reference map at the check-in desk, so it's definitely a good idea to arrive early and review it first if it's your first time here.

I really love this gym. It's a similar concept to booking a standard workout class, but instead of…read morea class you book a pod. These pods are probably around 12ftx12ft in size and include a squat rack, bench, and weights - really everything you need to have a great strength training workout. No sharing necessary! There are a handful of cardio machines - bikes, a treadmill, climbing thing - that are spread out, and I think free game for anyone's use. I don't often see many people using these though. Also, I don't really understand how the turf and outdoor area work and would appreciate some clarity there. It seems like those areas may be designated for personal training sessions? Reservations for the pods are in 1 hour increments. It's fairly easy to get a spot booked, especially if you're flexible with the time of day - mornings can fill up quickly. Overall, this gym has a great community feel. They even have a run club, which I haven't tried but am curious about. While I want everyone to know how great this spot is, I also am afraid of the hidden gem secret getting out!

All F45 classes last roughly around 45 minutes where members spend time (30-45 seconds) at a station working on strength or cardio exercises. For this particular class it was a mix but the burnout for me was the sled push with weights on it- I havent done it in a while so it felt good but I was gassed out while pushing back and forth on the turf. Each of the instructors were energetic, encouraging, and helpful on correcting form etc. The class is co ed and everyone is so tunnel focused on their progress that you don't feel secluded or judged.
