Insane cost for how poorly maintained it is. Not a luxury offering.

Barry's is - by far - the best workout in the *world*; and if you're in NYC; the Chelsea studio is - the best - Barry's studio to go to. The instructors are incredible, the staff is super friendly and helpful, the entire studio is clean and organized. I've been going since 2012 and it's only gotten better and better, especially with the Ride (bike) studio option downstairs. If you want to get an incredible workout, this is the place to go.

Was in town and ended up doing 2 classes I loved it so much. Trainers were welcoming and kind and the classes were incredible. I'll definitely be coming back.

Take Izzi Lynn’s class. By far the best fitness instructor in all of nyc. Woman knows what she’s doing and has amazing music taste

Great Barry's location! I've been to many Barry's studios, but Chelsea exceeds others in cleanliness and customer service!

I attended my first Barry's class this morning and I personally had a lot of fun! I did a RIDE x LIFT - Abs + Ass workout. We were given bike shoes for free before the class. Once the doors opened we were led into the red room and directed to the bikes. The bike was already set up with a towel attached. It was a bit hard to get on lol but they were helpful to help us get set up. Everyone seemed to start on the bikes. This portion lasted for the first half of the class. The workout consisted of different rounds of sprinting, hopping out of the saddle, staying in the seat, etc. to hype music along with some head banging or other various body movements. The instructor also varied the lighting throughout the class. A lot of my friends said they didn't like the bike but I personally loved this portion.For the latter half of the class, we were directed to the floor. There were boxes set up with another towel and we were instructed to grab weights and bands. This workout consisted of various exercises back to back, from goblet squats with the band to crunches. It wasn't superrr intense in my opinion but I was sweating. The only thing is the instructor kind of just calls out the exercises. It felt like it was more geared towards people with fitness experience since otherwise it's hard to determine what exactly you're supposed to be doing.Another thing I'll note is that the classes feel a bit impersonal. I do workout classes at my gym and I feel like I get to know and talk to my instructors a bit throughout the class but this is more the instructor shouting at everyone as a group for 50 minutes. But it's not necessarily a bad thing depending on personal preference.After the workout, I took a shower in the locker rooms which were stocked with Oribe products. My hair is feeling quite soft today hehe.Overall, it was a good and fun experience. Not sure if it's worth $40 a class though.

Barry's Chelsea is a pretty good location, though the studio itself feels a little cramped especially when it's a full class. Barry's is always such a killer workout, no matter if it's Total Body, Arms and Abs, Abs and Ass, etc. My fave days are generally the Total Body because they're really effective, versus the other days I find myself so fatigued by the second half of the class that it's hard to lift more weights. It definitely takes 5 or so classes to truly get the hang of Barry's otherwise it can be really challenging as a beginner. Basically you start on the treadmill or weights for about 12-14 mins, switch to the other side, and then repeat. My fave instructors are definitely Paris and Joe A. With Paris, I get in such a good workout because he doesn't include breaks (lol). Joe A is super motivating and I love his music!

Barry’s Chelsea location disappointed me today. Ben was working there with John as a supervisor. I bought the summer 6 pack a while ago during the promotion. Actually I bought three packages. I had one class left out of the 18 and it was expiring on Sept 13, 2023. I was going to use the class for today but it disappeared on my account this morning. I was a little surprised and went to this Chelsea location to get it honored. Ben didn’t know what to do and asked John. Joh said no because I had to use the credit before Sept 13 and I should have received an email reminding me the expiring credit a day ago. I didn’t get the email… and it was clearly said on my app that it expires ON Sept 13.Then I asked him about my 100th class situation. The academy program said I would receive a guest pass at my 100th class. I never received it. I asked Ben why. After briefly checked on my account, John said I received the credit and used it on myself on June 5 and refused to give me the credit. I went back to check on my account and found out I hit my 100th class on June 29. It was impossible for me to use the guest pass I deserved a month before I hit that milestone. Both Ben and John told me that there was nothing they can do and let me go.I left and walked 15 mins to the Park Ave South Barry’s location. The staff here are very friendly and quickly honored my summer package credit. The staff also apologized for the system miscommunication. I feel I’m at home here at Park Ave South location. I didn’t raise the issue of 100th class reward at the Park Ave South location. I hope I could be given the one guest credit, considering how many classes I have taken at Barry’s.

Great Barry's location! Brought both my parents to their first Barry's class and they were super patient and accommodating. Fun family working to start the day in NYC.

Took the 9:40 class with Alycia on a Tuesday and enjoyed every second of it! We were a smaller group so all of us were on the treadmill. Really like this because you don’t get confused with the other instructions. She definitely pushed us out of our comfort zone and corrected forms when needed. I had a smoothie from the fuel bar that was really good as well

Better than Barry's NoHo, but still not quite there considering the price. I love the Ride x Lift class - so much fun to switch between the both. The annoying thing (still) with Barry's is I have no clue what each floor workout is called, and then I look for others around me for help. Most of the time I see the other people in the class doing the same thing! It's just a lot of work for one instructor to orchestrate, and perhaps they could benefit from TVs with videos streaming what the workouts look like. The cycling part is pretty much like any soul cycle/dance cycling class. A nice touch that they provided a cute note for first-timers!
