Class was great! It was my first time joining, and Scott was my instructor - he was very friendly and accommodating. He brought us in and gave us all the info we needed and introduced us to the room setup/explained how class would go. He checked in throughout class, and noticed when I felt lost once or twice and got me up to speed. Really appreciated his warm welcome and upbeat personality. Fun class! So happy to have had the opportunity with Pasadena Run Club to try Barry’s for the first time :)

This is a great workout class. If this was the only thing that you were working on, I would recommend taking this class at least 2-3 times to feel productive. It's a 50 minute class that starts punctually every time. Half the time, you're on the treadmill either walking, jogging, or sprinting. The instructor will tell you what speed is recommended in easy, medium, and hard difficulty. The other half the time, you're doing floor workouts with a bench. There's dumbbells and resistance bands that are often used in the workouts. It's nice that the instructors are motivating and will sometimes spot you to ensure that you're doing the workout right. Fuel Bar: The protein shakes are quite pricy at about $10-12. You can order them before your class and have it readily made by the time you complete your workout. I got the Matcha Made in Heaven. It's not bad but it was my first time trying one of their drinks and I thought that the protein powder taste was quite strong. Amenities: There's lockers with a passcode that you can set yourself. It's really simple and there's large and small lockers to put everything you need. They offer mini things to assist with your workout such as hair ties, mints, and ear plugs if needed. The bathrooms are also really bright and clean. Parking: There's a huge shared parking lot in the back. It's free for the first 90 minutes which is perfect, since the class runs for an hour. Pricing: It's quite expensive to get a consistent membership here. It's roughly over $30 per class. This is the biggest con that stops me from getting a membership, but I try to use promotions and ClassPass.

I’ve come here a couple times using promotions and ClassPass and it’s always a great workout! I wish the classes were cheaper, but the instructors are motivating and I always end up dripping wet with sweat by the end of the class. And I also get a little sore the next day.Barry’s does a combination of running on the treadmill half the time, and strength training with the other half. We use dumbbell weights and resistance bands. I would def suggest coming a bit earlier or on time as the class is punctual and starts as soon as it’s time.

Barry’s in Pasadena is a top place to work out! I thoroughly enjoy my morning workouts here. The instructors are supportive, positive, and design excellent routines. The staff is always super friendly and motivating.As someone who used to teach group fitness classes, I’m always VERY impressed with how efficiently and clearly the instructors here are able to clearly cue the class when multiple workouts are taking place (HIIT on one side, running on the other). Not an easy task… The workouts are always thoughtful and effective. It’s apparent the instructors devote extensive time before class to design routines that flow well and build strength/ endurance. I always leave class feeling energized to take on the day.My personal fav instructors: Matt and Mercedes.If you’re looking to mix up your regular workout routine or if you’re wanting to build endurance and strength (As a climber, Barrys has helped me improve my endurance on the wall), I highly recommend Barry’s!

Imagine going to a Hiit workout and a edm festival at the same time. Yes, Barry's is a tough work out but well worth it. When I am feeling the challenge, I will sign up for Barry's. It's half strength training and half cardio. Many may not realize but they have extra ear plugs, hair ties, and hair pins by the check in counter. I have sensitive ears so whenever I do come, I do grab a pair to ensure my ears are in good shape! Always enjoy coming and getting a work out in here!

I had the pleasure of attending a trial class with Scott. He was great and had tons of energy.The place itself is super clean. They do a quick deep cleaning in between classes, which is appreciated since it's a sweat and burn type of workout.They have tons of weight options to choose from and they run the class very well, splitting larger classes into groups in order to maximize space.My only gripe is the noise level of the music and the instructor. I understand that you want to keep the energy high with loud music, but when the instructor is mic'd up and yelling over the music it can be ear piercing. We were informed there were ear plugs in the lobby after class had started, so it was a little too late for me to leave just to get some. Good to know for next time I guess.They also have a really nice smoothie bar with tons of recovery options. I would be mindful of the calorie count on some of their smoothies though.Overall, I had a nice experience and enjoyed my workout.

Barry's inspires me to keep coming.. I am on my fitness journey, and Barry's makes it fun! And the shakes are awesome!

Good exercise, excellent and diverse routines. Scott H. is the best. Only drawback is some instructors play the music exceptionally loud and this feedback was met with a third party call from the National Technical Institute for the Deaf to me, kinda funny response, kinda lame abuse of private information. Either way great environment

Very clean. One of the best workouts I've done. They even have dyson blow dryers in the bathroom!

Fantastic workouts. Would be great if they added a 5am option on weekdays for those that commute.

first time to Barry's in Pasadena recently! The staff was so nice and welcoming! They had a Lotta unique apparel, their studio felt like being on a set, and I was able to work out with some kick ass instructors. Looking forward to visiting again, they also have protein shake samples also.
