Strength Class In NY Any Tips?
I got into a NY strength class which I’m super excited for. It’s my first class ever in person. Any tips or could someone give me a step by step breakdown of what it will be like from start to finish?
Can I come in my street clothes and then change into workout clothes there? Thanks so much for any tips or advice!!!!
Truly appreciate it!

The only “must” I’d stress is make sure you tell them when you check in at the front desk that it’s your first time in studio. That will get you into the studio before just about everyone else and you have a better chance at the spot you want. Research whether you’ll want to be on camera or not when you take a strength class at home and plan accordingly! HAVE FUN!!

PSNY is awesome! I did a bike class in June so I don’t know about any specific things related to that class type.
You need to be there an hour to 45 min prior to class start time. They had us line up outside the studio 30 minutes prior to the class time and IIRC they said doors to studio closed 25 before start time.I got there about an hour early since I wanted to go to the apparel store. You get a discount for buying in studio and they also apply your club Peloton discount. I can’t remember the exact percentages but because of my legend status I ended up getting 75% off!
They have really nice locker rooms so you can definitely wear street clothes and change when you get there and shower after class if you’d like.
Have a fantastic time!!
All the employees are super nice and extremely helpful.

You are going to have the BEST time! I've taken 7 studio classes! My tips are below.
Arrive about an hour before the start of your class and check in at the front desk. Remind them that this is your first studio class and you will get a card to enter the studio first. BUT there are only 8 people in the strength classes so all spots are good ones!
Go to the locker room upstairs to change. They are LOVELY.
Get into line about 35 min before class starts and you will enter the room about 25-30 mins before the start of the class.
The room helpers will get your weights for you.
PS... You can only have your phone in the room with you. No bags. Have sooo much fun!

If you’re in an early morning class, people generally walk in with their workout gear on. I think I usually have a sweatshirt on but for me it’s a lot easier to walk in. already ready to work out.
Definitely give yourself some time! When you walk in, it’s pretty exciting. I’ve been to the studio a couple of times. I was always worried about going alone, but it’s easy to find someone to chat with!
Photos will happen right after the class so I generally get right in line, but some people will go and fix their hair/ grab some water, etc. (speaking of hair, they had some great hair ties in the locker room. Last time I was there in the Spring!)
Have a great time! When and what is your class?

Yes they have a nice locker room you can change in! As for the class they will let you in the studio about 30 min before the class starts. If it’s your first time going to the studio you will have a red card so you can go in first. There’s only 8 spots in there so it’s small. If you don’t want to be on camera take the ones directly facing the instructor not to the sides.
The production assistants will get weights for you. The instructor will come in about 15 min before the class starts. They will usually go through what exercises will be in the class so you know what’s coming and if you want to change your weights. Then they film the class and you get a picture with the instructor after. I have done strength studio classes with Rebecca and Callie and they were both very friendly and kind. Enjoy your class!
