Barry's Philadelphia

I was in Philly with a group for a leadership conference and a few of us decided to sign up for a Barry's session. When we arrived at this Barry's location they told us the session would be free as many of us have not participated in a Barry's training before. I was unsure what to expect for the class, but was pleasantly surprised with how the class was organized and well-structured. For the workout, there was a floor group and a treadmill group. It was divided into two rounds of each (floor and treadmill) with the participants in the class alternating with each other. The room was dark with red lights and lively music to keep everyone going. Dylan instructed the class and did an excellent job explaining the exercises and kept the energy high throughout the workout. There is a smoothie bar at the front where you can get many different flavors to refuel after your workout. I will definitely sign up for another Barry's class and recommend it to anyone who is serious about keeping in shape. Thank you for the great workout and making it free for many of us for our first time.

Kate D was really good instructor! Even though it was a small class on holiday weekend for Labor Day, she brought good energy! Also, I was DF at the end, she filled me in what missed when I stepped out for a second. Very thoughtful!

I enjoy attending classes here when I can make it. I do find it very inappropriate that men can go topless/shirtless during class. I don’t think any of my clothing as optional during a workout.

I’ve been going to Barry’s for over 10 years and I just keep going back. No matter what stage of my fitness journey I’m at - crushing road races, pregnancy and postpartum, or just having a good time with friends, Barry’s has been there. From Kelly Whittaker in Boston to the amazing Philly community and trainers she’s mentored, they’re all killing it. Go to Barry’s!

If someone tells me they do Barry's consistently, I just know they're a DAWG. You can cheat solidcore, you can cheat corepower, but you can't cheat Barry's. You gettin a SWEAT. My only issue is I really can't make out 70% of what the instructor is saying. I find it so hard to discern if she is talking to the people on the floor or the people on the treadmills, let alone what she is actually saying... but I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer so take that with a grain of salt. I just kind of look over at what my girlfriend is doing, and do +1 speed or just go straight by feel. I love the mix of weights and cardio, and there is nothing like pushing yourself on a treadmill to see your top speed. There is something so freeing in making the mental decision of "I'm either going to hit this speed or I'm going to hit the floor in front of this whole class. No in between." You can also order a smoothie to be ready right when you finish class, which is such an elite touch. Having my Slutty PB smoothie waiting for me after I just left my soul in the Barry’s Red Room is what life is all about. Remember earlier when I said I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer? Well I just want to clarify something: I am sharp…and I am in the drawer. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews
