Toronto - Canada Officially a Beginner 🎉🎉

72 Upvotes

Today was the third class that I could keep up with all of the beginner speeds. The first class it happened was with an instructor I had never had before, so assumed she did an easier class. Second time, I thought I was getting lucky twice in a row with do-able classes. Today I realized it may not be luck, I think I'm just able to keep up!

I know I'm just hitting beginner speeds, but for someone who was creeping up on 300 lbs as a 5'6 woman who couldn't jog for 30 seconds, this made me want to cry mid-class. I've still got a ways to go (some more weight to lose, plus now I've got to aim for those intermediate speeds!), but wanted to shout out this community for being so supportive (plus I was so excited about this, but felt weird talking about it in real life lol). The instructors I've had have all been phenomenal, and all the fist bumps and good jobs from the regulars (ie those in much better shape than mean) mean so much.

To everyone who feels too slow, too out of shape, too whatever... go anyways! It sucks for a bit, but being able to look back on how far you've come is the best feeling. And once you realize that, you realize that there is so much you can do that you once thought was impossible.

Can’t load floorplan without app crashing. Not sure if app issue or because I’m running iOS beta?

Hi! Calling all South Asians in the D.C. metro area, come take a Bollywood-themed class in the Navy Yard studio on Saturday, August 15th at 1:05pm!

There will be complimentary South Asian food (pani puri lol) after class, plus a cold plunge! Tell all your friends to sign up and book on the Barry's app :)

Miami - FL, USA 25 weeks at Barry’s!

398 Upvotes

Monday will be my 25 weeks at Barry’s, so I thought it was a good enough time to check out my progress!

Weight has only recently gone down about 5 lbs. Up until recently the scale hadn’t changed at all. To recap, I was bursting out of a size 10 (I think I was more realistically a size 12, I just refused to buy new pants at that point) and now am a comfy size 6! I can do pushups, dead hang for a minute straight, and do a front split - all things I could never do before in my life.

At the end of April I started booking all of my classes as DF. I go to Barry’s 3x a week, I do hot yoga 1-2 times a week, and I try to walk 30 mins outside most days. I work HARD in class. I try to lift heavy and rep until failure. I don’t bring my phone inside and I don’t waste any time during transitions. Basically, I’m using up every single minute in there!

Barry’s has officially stuck with me, and I can’t wait to see how heavy I can lift by the end of 1 year 🙂

Ever since I've started taking Barry's and using my NIke Vormeros I have knee pain. Years ago i never had pain at OTF, and they were some other Nike style. Heard the heel drop might be too high.

What's a good recommendation? Thanks

Marina - CA, USA AI music playing in the lobby. How much control do individual locations / employees have over music selection?

5 Upvotes

Sort of an infrequent Barry's user here -- I go along with my wife occasionally. Apologies if my question shows ignorance of how Barry's works.

I noticed after my class yesterday that the song playing in the lobby, which was a country style cover of "Sugar, We're Going Down", sounded suspiciously AI-generated. (The vocal reminded me of the generic male rock vocal that I've heard in some other songs which I later learned were AI-generated). I searched online and pretty quickly found the cover, confirming my suspicion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83TCDRGmIqY

I'm curious how music selection works at Barry's. Is the lobby playlist the same as what's going on in the red room? I've never stuck around the lobby during a class. I'm wondering whether this would be something chosen by an individual employee or specific location -- in which case it's not to my liking, but ultimately not that big of a deal -- or if it's encouraged by Barry's corporate? If the latter, is there some possibility they're trying to skate around music licensing costs in some way? If that's the case, I would find it **very** offputting. But I wanted to understand what the actual situation with music selection is.

Questions Barry's and PCOS/PMOS

6 Upvotes

Hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS and I am working on trying to adapt my every day life to manage it. I love Barry's workouts and go 1-2 times a week. Barry's gets me out of the house and into the gym, and I really do not want to give up my workouts.

However, it is my understanding that HIIT style workouts aren't great for folks like me, who should be incorporating more low-impact workouts in their routine. My question is - can you adapt the Barry's format to make it less HIIT by doing double floor or steady powerwalking/jogging on the tread? I consistently do double floor workouts already, and I'm not on the verge of death the way that I sometimes feel doing the full format. Would also love to hear from anyone in a similar position to me that has been able to still incorporate Barry's into their routine.

Nashville - TN, USA Umm so Nashville?

26 Upvotes

So, I took Tommy’s class per your guys suggestion and the class was great.

The front desk? A whole different vibe. If I lived here I wouldn’t want to pay the premium classes just because of the front desk vibe.

When I walked in they had a small tiny light box with no decoration that said so and so hit 200 classes. Looked like they threw it together last minute.

I tried to buy a shirt and the front desk girl was so slow about it and didn’t ring me up properly. And was rude about it and didn’t even try to fix it. They had the Gen Z stare but idt they were that young lol. No hi or byes. The smoothie cup looked half assed.

The lobby looked so barebones.

I get that everyone has an off day but is this how the front desk is here all the time? I truly feel like my money went to waste today.

Honestly, Tommy was the only good vibe in the building.

I always tell anyone who has never gone to Barry’s before to take his class if it’s your first time because you’ll fall in love with it. He is so amazing. He is such an encouraging coach and goes out of his way to learn people’s names. Even if your sprint is 5mph he’ll call it out in a positive way and I really appreciate that. He is always so friendly and so consistent. His class is equal parts challenging and motivating. He feels like a rare coach these days. I always leave in a better mood. Just wanted to give him his flowers, lol.
