What To Expect From A Barry’s Session
Try a session in the famous ‘red room’ and you’ll see it’s so much more than treadmill running and weights. The red light, the pumping music, and the strong presence of the instructors all come together to create one of the most memorable experiences in fitness.
Offering both 50 and 60-minute sessions, a typical Barry’s class involves coach-led treadmill running alternating with dumbbell and bodyweight strength work on “the floor”.
Each day’s strength work has a different focus, with some days serving up ‘Full Body’ strength and others focusing on specific areas such as ‘Chest, Back and Abs’ and ‘Abs and Ass’. For those that prefer strength work, Barry’s offers the ‘double floor’ option, which skips the treadmill and doubles up on the weights.
The Reception Service
During our anonymous evaluation, we were especially impressed by the reception staff's effort to connect with the client after the class. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed like they would be happy to welcome clients back to train at Barry’s Noho.
The Class Experience
Barry’s Noho has received The Fit Guide’s Recommended rating for its notable class experience.
The darkened, red-lit room, the high-quality equipment, and the excellent sound system all made for an elevated class experience. However, during our evaluation the coach's energy and enthusiasm didn't match the impressive environment.
