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.

This gym: Bad positioning (close to terrorist area, 7 min walk from metro (often in rain), crowded as all other gyms, small, limited equipment. I met a few things and called a lot of times but no one is there to reply me. The average reply rate of my email is 10%. What the heck? The thing that disappoints me the most is that they keeps charging me. I am leaving on July, so I write an email saying how can I quit, the manager, called Colin, he replied that I have till end of August my contract to fill. I replied I am leaving in 2 weeks and I may write back if needed. But he did not reply. So I forget thisl. In October I realized they are still charging me, so I write an email : why? After 5 emails they told me I did not give them the email (which they did not ask for) while charged me for fees of October during writing me the emails. I am so disappointed of this kind of s-word customer service. They write two simple emails accusing me. Quaeso. Quaeso.

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.

I'm visiting Paris for a month, and was looking for someplace to work out the kinks from the long trip and jet lag. I'm so glad I came upon this little yoga studio. The instructors are bilingual so the class happens in a mix of French and English, if there is anyone in the room who needs English. They are very knowledgeable and really dedicated to making sure you get the most out of your practice, taking the time and making the effort to help you get into the postures correctly and gently encouraging you to take it up a notch if you can. In the classes I attended, there were some "regulars" who were senior citizens managing to do things with their body that I certainly can't do, and I'm relatively fit. I wish I lived here so that I could pursue my practice at this studio.
