Every class has different styles but pushes you to your limits. The studio is well ventilated and they do a great job when entering the studio of creating an atmosphere that shifts your mentality to getting ready to work hard without distraction.

Great class, great facility, friendly staff. However, I wanted to leave the entire time because it was so loud. I missed a good amount of what the instructor was saying, as he needed to shout over the music. I wouldn’t be surprised if the staff are exceeding OSHA limits, as our workout averaged 98dB over 50 minutes. I want to work out, not lose my hearing. Given that I doubt this will change, I won’t be going back and I can’t recommend anyone else go without hearing protection.

I was in Philly with a group for a leadership conference and a few of us decided to sign up for a Barry's session. When we arrived at this Barry's location they told us the session would be free as many of us have not participated in a Barry's training before. I was unsure what to expect for the class, but was pleasantly surprised with how the class was organized and well-structured.For the workout, there was a floor group and a treadmill group. It was divided into two rounds of each (floor and treadmill) with the participants in the class alternating with each other. The room was dark with red lights and lively music to keep everyone going. Dylan instructed the class and did an excellent job explaining the exercises and kept the energy high throughout the workout. There is a smoothie bar at the front where you can get many different flavors to refuel after your workout.I will definitely sign up for another Barry's class and recommend it to anyone who is serious about keeping in shape. Thank you for the great workout and making it free for many of us for our first time.

I arranged a class for a group of folks in a leadership program and we just had our first class - wow!! It was many people’s first time taking a workout class and nearly everyone’s first time at Barry’s, and we had such a great experience. Thank you to the front desk staff for getting us all checked in and answering questions, and shout out to coach Dylan, who made sure everyone knew what to do and cued us all perfectly. We had such a great time and I’m sure many of us will be back! Thank you!

Great workout but super overpriced, especially given the lack of motivation of many instructors (they don’t even bother using weights to demo the exercises).

I love Barry's. It's a really good work out and the energy in the room keeps you motivated to push yourself. Taking the first class seems overwhelming but honestly, if you just go and do it, you'll quickly see it's a judgment free zone and you can take it at your own pace.

Stopped in for a shake/smoothie after visiting Bucky Body Center. It’s a beautiful space and seemed to have good crowds for the class that was in session.

Amazing classes, and super friendly staff. The coaches here are all great! Especially Justin and Sydni. Everything is always clean and smells good as well!

Barry’s is a really great place to eat and lounge. I sometimes go to Barry’s to do my reading and homework. The staff is really nice and very helpful.

One of the worst parts about relocating to Philadelphia was leaving my Boston Barry's family behind. But a highlight has finding a new Barry's family here! The staff at this studio are so friendly and welcoming and they honestly make the sometimes painful early mornings brighter. As a long time fan of the Barry's format - it never gets easier - these guys pull it off really well. And the studio itself is in overall really good shape. Instructors are awesome. I love Dylan (one of the nicest instructors ever with a fantastic and energetic class) and Justin (also one of the nicest instructors ever with one of the hardest but rewarding classes I've taken). I've also taken a class with Asher and one with Sydni and they're both great as well - and both have awesome music! Locker rooms are typical, with limited space but they're serviceable. If you have to take a shower there might be a short wait but nothing terrible at all.If you're looking for an awesome workout in Philly with awesome people, look no further than Barry's.

Tried a Saturday morning class. Liked the intensity of the workout and definitely felt sore after.But not a huge fan of the loud environment, to constantly concentrate hard on what the trained is saying about the next movement while music is blasting.Loved the changing rooms and smoothie bar.

Barry's facility is very nice. Excellent quality shakes to choose from (additional cost, and more than other places I've seen, but the quality is within the shakes themselves too), the staff will have your shake prepared right after your workout if you ask, and bathrooms have shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and even face wash. Towels are provided for the showers, smaller towels for working out, and you can buy water if you don't have your own as well. Apparel is available for purchase, and the designs weren't capturing my attention. There is also a hair dryer and lotion. I was surprised to hear someone using the hair dryer today at all as that person should've used the outside early September heat leftover from August to dry their hair. I tried this gym as a result of my work giving me two free sessions with Barry's. The location is very convenient for those that live in the city. Spaces are typically tight for a city gym. It is definitely a more athletic personnel gym, but like pretty much any gym, there really isn't a lot of social activity if you don't already know someone. Barry's at least in Philly seems to have an lgbtq friendly vibe, which I highly approve of. After my first session, one of the facilitator's tried to relate to me after my first session and commented on my sports goggles on how some 70s athlete first wore them. We were totally out of sync on that conversation. Seems like he would be a cool guy in another context possibly. All the trainers were professional and motivating. The staffer servicing me at the register was particularly helpful and kind as well. He was very on-point.They have lockers which is a must. (I had one time attended a gym years ago and they did not have lockers surprisingly.) One thing I didn't like was that I came early for my first session because I was coming from the suburbs, and then I walked much further away in the hot heat because I didn't want to pay too much for parking. I also didn't want to park on the side and worry about messing up how much time I had to park. I ended up about 1 hour and 20 minutes early for my session, and the entrance was locked at the time. I tried to call and the staff told me there weren't enough staff to man the front of the store at that time, and that I wouldn't be able to sign up for an earlier class. So either, I could keep my class or sign up for a later one. Of course I kept my class. This last minute logistic was a stressor for the process of me to work out. The gym was supposed to be open when I came as it was still during their opening hours.Considering the high quality status and vibe of the gym and how expensive it is for an individual patron, also the fact I already had a reservation and they could've reasonably requested for me to show ID before coming in at such an early time especially, I think me having to not be able to wait inside the gym at a minimum was lacking good service. When I was asked for text feedback, I let them know this and I was told that I could wait in the gym until my next session. I know this gym already isn't a good fit for me, but I'm glad I got a chance to try it. I've tried to rate the gym based on what they can reasonably offer as a gym based on a combination of factors such as price, quality of products and service, etc., rather than that the gym should be a good fit for me. I'd still want to come back only if my work was offering more free classes, but on my own, even if I lived nearby, unless I had a friend that was paying off my classes and I lived nearby, it would not be a first choice for me.

This was my first time attending a Barry's class and it was a good experience! Since this was our first class, it was free. Amanda was our instructor and she was great. Will be back!
