If Barry's Bootcamp and Tonehouse in NY had a baby, Midtown Studio would be it. Midtown Studio…read moreoffers 50 minute bootcamp style classes that incorporate a combination of interval running, strength training and functional exercises. It's similar to Barry's except the sets between exercises are shorter and you switch from the bench, floor and treadmill more frequently. I like that there's an open space/turf where you can do more exercises that utilizes open space that's separate from the bench. It definitely feels like an all over athletic conditioning class in that regard. The woodway curved treadmills are really cool in that it's entirely dynamic and driven by your resistance although there is a manual resistance knob to add on more weight. Once you get going on it, it can go really fast and feel intimidating but after the first class you get the hang of it! There's also these straps with handles attached to the treadmill that we didn't get to use but I assume they're used in more cable based exercises. The bench is stacked with different equipment, like dumbbells and kettlebells as well as battleropes and sandbags. Class size is about half of Barry's at full capacity (20-25?) The first time I took an "extreme abs" class with an instructor whose name I didn't catch. It was definitely one of those classes that went from 0 to 100 reaaal quick so if you're not as used to working out at that intensity I'd disclose it with the instructor. The second class was with Manu, the owner, and he was FANTASTIC!!! He was such an excellent coach and really tried to give attention to each individual (something you wouldn't see at Barry's). He gave clear instructions in both French and English and was extremely motivating. He's super friendly and runs a great studio! Classes aren't as frequent and tend to go more toward the later morning into the late evening. My friend and I purchased a 2/30 euro intro deal and it was well worth the money!! If you're interested in getting a sweat on in Paris or wanna make more room for crossaints, this is your place! There are showers and Rituals amenities to freshen up with after class.

No refund, no flexibility, nothing. That alone tells you how this place treats its members. Having actually trained here a few times since, I can't say the product makes up for it. The equipment is old, and the floor space is cramped enough that it gets awkward at peak hours. At 200 EUR a month, this is nowhere near the value you can get elsewhere in the city. The one genuine positive: the staff are lovely. Friendly, helpful, and clearly doing their best with what they've been given. After meeting the owner, my impression is that the problems here start at the top, not with the people working the floor. Signing up was a mistake. If you're considering signing up, now you've been warned! I guess that's why they charge for minimum 3 months at the time....

Overall, I find the staff to be as friendly as Paris permits, with occasional good (or bad) surprises. The equipment isn't top of the line (for those you must go to the Waouh clubs), but they do the job. I highly recommend taking the classes, specially Body Pump and Body Combat. They can get pretty crowded though, so make sure to arrive in advance.

The equipment is okay, but if you want to work out with free-weights you're out of luck because they only offer light dumbbells. It is really the classes that make going here worthwhile. My big complaint is they ration out towels and you have to always return to the front desk to ask for a fresh one. Also, you should know that you have to bring your own toiletries, they don't offer shampoo or body wash in the showers. I think I'm just used to a better level of service at my gym in New York, and if you know of a better option in the République area then you should skip this place.

We have attended the 7:30 and 8 am yoga class which have not had more than 3 people in it -apparently the French are not early morning practitioners. The class is labeled ashtanga. Letitia is gentle and provides individualized adjustments. The class is gentle but provides a full body work out. Her chanting is beautiful and worth the class by itself. The Pilates/feldenkrais/Franklin body work has been excellent. Isabel and Dominic are excellent at observing your body and providing specific instructions tailored to you to improve the efficacy of your practice, strengthening your particular areas of weakness. We highly recommend them to anyone interested in strengthening their body with efficient safe instruction. The facility is clean, pleasant and filled with a lot of toys used for various types of body work. The reformers in Pilates room have also just been upgraded. There is also a new Cadillac. Other classes also look cool but we are only here for six weeks so have to make time for culture and restaurants too!
