It's about time I left a review for The Barre Code- I have been raving about this place to my…read morefriends and family ever since I discovered it through ClassPass in August! For the longest time I had told myself I would start some sort of fitness routine but I had never found anything that I enjoyed enough to stick with. I've tried a few barre classes at other studios before finding The Barre Code, which is truly unlike any other studio I've been to, and has motivated me to actually want to work out. My favorite part about The Barre Code is that the classes are held in studios with dim, blue/pink lighting. It makes me feel more comfortable because 1.) it's dark enough to not feel every physical insecurity being perceived by others, 2.) bright enough to still see and focus on yourself, and 3.) it feels almost like a bar/club with the upbeat music and fun lighting, which puts me in a good mood to feel MOTIVATED to move around and do the workout. I have loved every single instructor I have taken here so far, they've all been extremely welcoming and helpful with correcting my form and offering modifications to make the workouts more or less challenging. Bridget, the owner, is also really sweet and I can tell she is passionate about her studio. I also like the variety of classes they offer (I recently tried Brawl for the first time and that was such a drastic change from the Barre classes I'm used to; I look forward to eventually trying Lift+HIIT and Sculpt+Flow as well)! I know this is a super long review but I just wanted to share my experience and encourage others to try a class out at this studio (if a standard Barre class is intimidating, try Barrestore!). I've been returning for 2 months now and could see improvements in my body's physique and stamina during the workouts. 1000/10 would recommend a million times over

It's really tough to describe how amazing this type of workout can be unless you've tried it. In my…read moreyounger days, I beat up my joints doing gymnastics and had the lovely gift of a hip replacement in my late 30s. Trying to stay physically active and flexible after beating yourself up for so long can be frustrating when seemingly most options at a gym will leave your joints wrecked for a week. So let me tell you about my new friend Pilates and "Jump". It was one of the most rewarding workouts I've experienced in a long time. It was challenging, focused, but paced at my own abilities and needs. Additionally, I didn't think the Jumpin would be as great as it was but I felt great the next day. April the owner is a force of positivity as well, she does some amazing outreach and helps support the neighborhood with several ongoing programs, donation drives, and events. She is a great owner to support. So do yourself a favor, and book a class or just stop and say hello to check it out. Lots of easy great parking and a super positive environment!

I've tried several different gyms/studios in the city and Kick is by far one of the best. The workouts here are AMAZING! It's 55 minutes of non-stop intense cardio & strength training. You will be doing lots of squats, burpees, star jumps, lunges, mountain climbers, etc as well as exercises with weighted bars & dumbbells. The staff/instructors are awesome and very friendly. They really push you to the limit and challenge you in new ways. I really love how they are constantly changing up the routine making every class fun and exciting. My favorites are the bike and burn and lower body burn bootcamp! I highly recommend trying any one of the class, you won't be disappointed.

Kick@55 gave me a good workout last Sunday as evident by the soreness in my thighs, abs, and arms. While reading other Yelp reviews, I just noticed that they also offer nutrition counseling, which might be another problem I am facing - I watch how much calories I am eating everyday, but may not get all the nutrition I need. Maybe it's time to change my workout routine and find a more effective way to loss weight.

I've got a gym in my condo building that I never use because I hate running and don't really know…read morewhat I'm doing with weights - working with Viraj for the past year has been a huge gamechanger for me for a bunch of reasons: 1) Convenience - first and foremost, GymGuyz is flexible enough to work with my busy schedule. I am able to schedule a personal training session any day/time of the week that is convenient for me, so if I want to do before work / after work / during lunch if I'm WFH, all of those options are possible, and all I have to do is go downstairs in my apartment building. 2) Ongoing Coaching - not only can you get the support of GymGuyz during the actual PT sessions, but also outside of the sessions you can opt for nutrition coaching as well as planning out ancillary workouts to do during off days. I'm not able to have a trainer come everyday for financial reasons, but Viraj will make sure we have an ongoing dialogue of how I can fit spinning, yoga, barre, pilates, etc. into my workout regimen, and make sure that my PT sessions line up with my ancillary workouts. 3) Motivational Relationship - honestly, Viraj is one of the nicest guys I have ever worked with. He is always my biggest champion and cheerleader as I have slowly started to see results, and is incredibly understanding of busy schedules/social obligations. That said, he's also not afraid to be respectfully stern if I have periods when I am slacking with workouts/nutrition, which I definitely need to stay motivated and on track. Overall, in the past year I have seen a huge change in my habits, body, and have gone from someone who is pretty sedentary to someone who is able to stay regularly active for the right reasons. Highly recommend GymGuyz and Viraj!

I was never a big gym guy because I always was afraid I would do something wrong to hurt myself or…read morelook like an idiot around the gym bros. So when I finally decided to get into better shape, I looked into a personal trainer to help me become familiar with lifting weights and standard gym equipment. With my work and personal life schedule, I wanted to find a trainer that could come to me just to make it easier and keep me committed. That's where GYMGUYZ came in. Here's how they work: We had an initial call for them to understand my goals and for me to understand the process. Viraj made it really clear that it wasn't just about the workouts but also the nutrition plan. During the first in-person, Viraj ran me through a biometric screening and physical fitness test to get a baseline for how out shape I was. In addition to the in-person training, you get access to an app that has on-demand workout videos and the ability to track your workouts. To help me achieve my goal I opted into the nutrition coaching. I track everything I am eating and drinking and my coaches provide feedback on healthier options and ways to improve my nutrition. We found that macro tracking targets work best for my lifestyle. All sessions are designed around you and the space you have available to work out in. I have a gym in my building so we try to leverage that as much as possible. GYMGUYZ will bring in additional equipment based on the workouts. Trainer/Coach Feedback: Viraj has helped me become more comfortable with using free weights and weight machines in the gym. John has been helping with my functional posture via stretching and body-weight based exercises. When I started working out I dreaded each session but now I look forward to the early morning workouts to start my day the right way. I would recommend GYMGUYZ to anyone that is looking to make positive change
