It has a similar classes to Barrys, SoulCycle, or F45, but what makes it stand out is the setup, a large training center with separate rooms for different class styles. It feels like one of the city's best kept fitness secrets. The space is modern and spacious, the workouts are excellent, and the classes are never overcrowded. Highly recommend.

I love this studio i discovered last week. All classes are an hour and are very weights focused…read morewith daily rotations of different focus groups like abs, arms and back on Wednesdays for example. I started with the Solido class which was amazing and targeted glutes and abs. It literally flew by and I was sweating! Next I tried Savage, which rotated between 4 minutes of different weight training and sculpting moves and then 4 minutes of treadmill work. Their treadmills have handy guides for athletic levels and intensity and the incline and speed are easily adjusted. I liked this class and according to my Apple Watch, burned a TON of calories here, although I do not recommend doing this class fasted as jumping back and forth and the starting and stopping from moves and sprints made me quite dizzy at times. This class was on the first floor. Finally, I tried a Tonic class, which was very weights focused and had active breaks in between the working portions. This class was on the lower level of the studio. Each class has an instructional video ahead of time and moves demoed on the screens the entire time with a timer for the moves and timers to show your progress in the class which I really appreciated. The music in every class I took was always super fun and a mix of EDM, hip hop and Latin music. They also offer a spin class I believe called Stride and a boxing class called Jab The studio itself is amazing with lots of neon lights to set the mood, plants, tons of reflective details in the locker rooms and on the lockers and gorgeous seating in the lobby. The lobby has a bar with tea, coffee, some waters and pre packaged protein drinks. I do wish they had more of a selection of pre and post workout choices but I'm sure those will come! They let me know soon they'll be offering alcohol as well and free wine if you take a class on Friday! You get a hand towel for class and if you want to use their showers, they provide towels. The bathrooms are gorgeous and have amenities provided. Some of the best studio showers I've been in with plenty of room to hang your toiletries. The staff was super polite and outgoing and everything was clean and tidy. They even have a clothing shop with unique and cute workout sets from a Latino owned brand. I can't say good things enough about this studio and hope they expand their class offerings!

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.

I'm a huge fan of F45 Flatiron. Having done F45 in a variety of locations in TX and CA, I can say…read moreF45 Flatiron stands out for two main reasons: (1) Starts on time, everytime! At other F45s I've been to, people trudge in late and at different times. It can be distracting and disruptive. (2) Awesome instruction. I'm always getting feedback on form, and the instructors are always engaged. I appreciate the attention to detail, it's the only way I can improve. I go here almost everyday - highly recommend for anyone that's looking to burn fat, build muscle, and do it efficiently.

As a parishioner of St. Michael's, I often would hear the music at the 10:30 am mass and I wonder what it was. Time later, I saw an ad for F45 and I was like, Why not? I live close by. I followed the sign and I felt I was going to a Speakeasy. I am glad a good samaritan was right behind me and guided me through the basement area and long corridor. I just left their Tokyo class. I truly dont know why they call it Tokyo and kudos to the coaches - Jackie and Hernan! AMAZING. I told them my injuries and they provided modifications and suggestions amidst a very packed 9:30 am sunday class. Management - Please give them a raise!! As a former fitness pro, I am amazed with their high level of professionalism and I would come back again.

So it really is great at providing a full body workout! Their instructors are energetic and fun. Note- this is NOT Pilates (megareformer is not pilates). It is a strength fitness class that utilizes a megareformer. Form 50 has a cute aesthetic- pink light, pink & white springs, pink handles. So you can decide if that's your thing! Amenities are good- lots of lockers, bathroom & showers (not all studios i go to have showers). Conveniently located in midtown, not far from the 6 train. This is available on ClassPass! Overall, I will be back.

I am a sucker for megaformer Pilates classes, and what I like about Form50 over solidcore is that…read moreForm50 doesn't play excessively loud music. Other than that, they're pretty similar in that their total body sculpt workouts are pretty good, though they do focus more on abs, glutes, legs by nature of Pilates. The instructor kept it interesting and gave us a variety of moves using most of the components of the megareformer machine. It was a tough workout but in a good way--I thought I'd be pretty fit since I play volleyball 2-3 times/week every week but Pilates has humbled me once again. 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.

For as expensive as this gym is they allow whom ever to come in and know they can steal while the customers are working out. I had very valuable items stolen - they take no accountability and are even a bit passive about it like well you shouldn't leave them in your locker. MULTIPLE WOMEN have had their purses and valuable items STOLEN: My Cartier watch and VINTAGE LV bag were stolen while others had their Gucci and Goyard purses stolen. Since there are no cameras in the locker room this thief will keep getting away with it. At the time they had no signs up in the locker room and now they are all over the gym. I have spoke to the police and done everything I needed to on my end but in the end Barry's and their insurance company take NO RESPONSIBILITY! THEY DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THEIR CLIENTELE!!!
