Barry's UWS

"I do not come to NYC without buying a class pack for the time I’m here and this is definitely my go to location. The class is super hardcore which I love but at any point you can modify anything you need to. There’s also something very luxurious about this gym. For example, they don’t ask you to wipe down your machine, they do it for you and there’s a towel waiting for you at your treadmill and at your bench and you can have a smoothie waiting for you at the end of your work out. None of it is really necessary but it’s all very nice touches! Instructors are all amazing and so is the music!"

"Barry has such fun and welcoming class. Hunter gave me a warm welcome to the class and motivated everyone to take it at our own pace. Really love how he brought the exercise to life! The toilets are so clean and fully equipped with everything you need. Definitely will come back."

"3 Stars.. because I actually liked the cIass I took at 12:20PM on Memorial Day. That lady was really nice and dope. I believe her name is Jennifer. But lets talk about the front desk. Barrys, why are you not vetting the people that is supposed to be the front line of your company. I got checked in by 2 nice ladies, which is fine. But its the encounter I had after that really left a bad taste in my mouth. I am talking about the two men, who I didn't get their names, but one was a tall white man, and one was a bit shorter, skinny, asian man. This is the best description I can give. They weren't that memorable. But i'm sure you can look at your schedule and see who worked at that time. Scenario 1: I had to step out because I was cramping, and needed some water. I stepped outside and asked for a little cup just to have some water in my system (I forgot my water bottle at home, I guess thats my bad). He said "we sell the water bottles for you to buy". I am not going to buy and go through a transaction just for a sip of water. When I asked for a cup, he eventually got up (with a little attitude) , passed me the cup and said "we rarely do this, we want to keep our companies sustainability policy". Okay.. i'm all bout sustainability, but over WATER BRUH?? It's not that deep. We recycle out here. Scenario 2: I wanted to grab a protein shake and realized that there was no one manning the bar. So I went to the front to ask. The tall white man goes "oh we usually ask people to order before hand to order." This is my FIRST Barry's class. How tf am I supposed to know that you have to order prior? And of course, he acted like he was doing me such a HUGE FAVOR by asking me "its fine.. i'll do it this time, what would you like?" Your margins on these protein shakes are HUGE, why would you not want to sell that? and then give an attitude about it? It's just a protein shake. Treat customers like you're happy to be there. Scenario 3: I came with a friend and I was waiting to pay for the protein shake. And the asian man told my friend "can you check in?" and she has already taken a class, shes just waiting for me to pay. And when she said shes just waiting for me, he said "can you stand over there?" like whaaaat? cmon mann. anyways. class was great. staff was lil weird. im just gonna assume they're going through some things with their lives. but I wont go to this Barry's again."

"Gorgeous studio in a classic brownstone walk-up right by Central Park. Great class with Lindsey."
