Barry's South Bay — Attraction in El Segundo

Galya was my first instructor for my first class at Barry’s. I say confidently that her attention to detail, willingness to listen, how accepting and uplifting she is, ALONGSIDE her kickass class, is the reason I keep going to Barry’s. I have always been scared of being judged, underperforming, or showing weakness in group workout classes; I’ve only done one spin class and one hot yoga class in the past - hated it. Galya 100% changed my mindset on this. In the four classes I’ve done with her, she has celebrated the big and the small wins in each class - from folks hitting their 200-class milestone, to folks hitting their first ever Barry’s class, to birthdays, EVERYTHING. I just hit my 10th class in 15 days, and I wouldn’t have done this if Galya didn’t spend 10 minutes with me after class to walk me through how to attack the treads. I have always been scared of running, but not anymore. She's actually incredible. Venice and South Bay are so lucky...

High-energy, intense workout. Booked a class with Steffan C for an arms, chest, and back evening workout. They’re 50 minutes long, and for the first class, you may want to arrive 15 minutes earlier so the front desk can take you through the class format. There’s a fuel bar where you can get smoothies (you must pre-order). The bathrooms have personal-use day lockers and showers available. They have gum, hair ties, and ear plugs at the front desk.

You alternate between treadmills and strength workouts. It’s a high intensity workout, but you are able to customize the intensity to your level of fitness (though you should definitely push yourself). Steffan was very energetic and the music adds greatly to the vibe. You’re there primarily to get a great workout, and the class delivers...

w! Izzy’s class was absolutely incredible—I feel like I’ve been missing out. Today was my last day of the challenge, and I took Alex’s class in the morning. I initially planned to take it easy and “walk,” but her music, instructions, and energy inspired me to push myself harder. She was truly amazing—so motivating, fun, and uplifting. No wonder so many people at MDR love her! I wish I had taken her there too, but I’m so happy I get to take her more often here.

I love the entire Barry’s family—everyone is so kind! I’m obsessed with this place, and if I were not lucky enough to have free classes, I would absolutely pay. This location, in particular, is the best.

Izzy was amazing, and that class was insane! I left singing all...
