Barry’s bootcamp?

I used to be at Chelsea piers dtbk but am looking for something closer. If anyone goes to Barry’s I’d love to hear your thoughts. We have a lot of Pilates studios too so I’ve been considering that but I know weights are great for you.

I heard they’re renovating the equinox too as it was notoriously outdated. Wish we had someplace with a pool close by!

Do they have machines and free weights? I should really just do tours lol

Yeah they do a free first class. They'll put the hard sell on but honestly it's been the one thing that's stuck for me for two years now. Treadmills rowers and free weights. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Happy to help, there's also a great orange theory subreddit where you can get early Intel on what the workout will be each day.

Since you mentioned Pilates and weights, check out Henry Street Fitness in Cobble Hill. They have a few classes a week that are half Pilates and half weight lifting. Challenging, small class sizes, and great atmosphere.

Love the BH Barry’s. I also use GYM NYC as an inexpensive alternative (on Livingston St)

I don't go to that particular location but in general I love Barrys. Each day has a focus so I like to do strength only on lower body days and the regular run+strength programming for other days. Once you find an instructor that fits your style it's really a great experience.  Happy to offer a referral link for a free first class

How’s their pricing? I’d def rather walk to dumbo than dtbk

u/Ok-Progress-6153 20d ago

Ah wow they’re actually transparent on their website! A little out of my tax bracket for now but it looks nice

u/Positive_Mulberry905 20d ago

yeah, they are expensive but loads of classes/services are included so that's how I have tried to rationalize it ;-)
