Barry's Castro

I was considering booking a drop-in class at Barry's Castro while visiting, but I wanted to get a quick look around the gym first to see the facilities. When I popped in, I was told this wasn’t possible—neither a quick look around nor a brief tour with a staff member was offered. I found this quite poor customer service, especially compared to what I’m used to in the UK, where gyms are generally more welcoming to potential customers. Needless to say, I didn’t end up booking a class at this location. A little more flexibility and friendliness would have gone a long way.

The workouts here are great. Everyone can run and lift but the vibe & the coaches here make it so much easier and more fun. I love combining running outdoors with the red room to also get some strength and interval training in. Also the facilities here are amazing - changing room, massage guns etc. 100% recommend going here.

The best Barry’s in the city. The workouts are a little more intense at this location versus the others. The staff and the regulars are super friendly. Book in advance because the classes fill up fast.

Love the Barry’s Castro! Great manager at the studio (Bon is a homie), fantastic staff, and my favorite instructors by far! So grateful it’s only an 18 minute walk from me!

I love attending LIFT classes with Tommy T. or Spencer L.! I always look forward to their classes, and will go out of my way to attend their time slots. The music choice is impeccable, their personality permeates into the classes, and the instructions are clear and concise. I also appreciate their variation in exercises in providing a targeted workout while also being challenging and new. Highly recommend.
