Had my first class here at Barry's a few days ago. The staffers are informative and helpful, the space is clean and seemingly well-maintained; the class and the instructors were very clear with their coaching for the group class. The space felt very disorienting at first with low-light and loud sound, but once you get settled, it seems fine. My observation is around hygiene and cleanliness. During the class sessions, no one seems to be wiping down their equipments in between use, which seemed very gross especially during a sweat-inducing class. Perhaps there's more encouragement from the instructions to do so during the session?

James is one of the most well-rounded instructors I’ve taken—great energy, thoughtful programming, and strong attention to pacing. As a longtime marathon runner, I’ve especially noticed improved upper body strength from his classes, which has been a great complement to my training. He also makes the room feel engaging and personal, even in larger classes. And the mid-90s playlists don’t hurt. Always a class I look forward to.

I booked this class special for my birthday, and I needed to spend it with Tommy. He made me feel at home and made several shout-outs to let everyone know it was my birthday. I'll never forget my special day at Barry's.
