Physique 57 Soho is featured in our articles The Best Barre Studios In New York, Reviewed And Rated and The Top Fitness Studios In New York, Independently Rated and Ranked.
The Highlights
The class experience was one of the very best we experienced in New York. It was delivered by an enthusiastic and professional instructor who methodically, but very personably, led a true five-star experience befitting of its award and recognition.
What Our Evaluator Had To Say
“Our class was a fantastic, almost flawless experience from start to finish.”
“Our instructor spoke to me before the class, really getting to know me and my training history before we started.”
“She was very enthusiastic and clearly enjoyed teaching. This energy was infectious!”
What To Expect From A Physique 57 Session
A typical Physique 57 session is a full body workout that is 57-minutes long and offers their signature approach to barre. Their classes are high intensity, low impact and can be adjusted to all ability levels by an experienced and well-trained instructor team.
Some of their movements will use just your body weight, whereas others use training tools such as light dumbbells or soft balls that are used to strengthen and build muscle. One of their trademark techniques is to “pulse” small movements repeatedly to target small, often underused muscle groups.
Class types include Sculpt for beginners, Power Sculpt for intermediate practitioners or Power Sculpt Lab for a more advanced challenge. They also have a range of online classes available.
The Reception Service
Our pre-visit calls to the club were unanswered. The in-branch service was warm and friendly and their team did a good job of helping us to continue training.
The Class Experience
Physique 57 Soho has achieved The Fit Guide 5-Star Class Experience Award for an exceptional class, putting it amongst the very best in New York and industry.
Delightful touches were sprinkled through the experience. This started with a meaningful connection pre-class, and ended with a follow up after the session on how our first class was. During the class, we received a little extra special attention as we were new to, and unfamiliar with, the concept.
It was, in summary, one of the most well-delivered class experiences in New York and every bit deserving of its 5-Star Class Experience award.
The Equipment And Studio
The equipment and studio was clean and in great condition, with subtle branding touches throughout the well-lit studio.
The Facilities And Public Areas
The public areas were spacious and nicely designed. There was an array of amenities available. There were, however, no showers available.
Workout towels were provided free of charge. Lockers were provided with number locks. Free water refill stations were available.
Digital And Technology
The website does a good job of communicating the concept and Physique 57’s values. They also offer an extensive and popular online training program for those that cannot make it to their in-real-life experience. The email communications leading up to the class could have got us more excited with more inspiring and lively imagery and wording.
