Barry's Boston Downtown — Local services in Boston

I wanted to love Barrys, as this was my first experience with the brand. I'll give it another shot in another city when I travel but this location rubbed me the wrong way. Did I get a good workout? Yeah, I burned 4-500cals.

My rubs, you ask? The classroom is dusty/dirty. The lights are dim and colored so you can't see it unless you look and man.. once I saw every cable/trim/corner with dust 😬

There are two hair dryers in the bathroom. One shorts out after about 30seconds and doesnt work. Its a known issue because I asked and others knew about it and said its been like that.

The instructors themselves speak to guide people to the next movement or speed, but there are NO corrections for form. Its not so much coaching as it is instructions. Maybe that's how its supposed to be? Idk. For the price I'd expect a little more.

The girls there are great though. There are 4 showers and the AM ladies hustle. There is a line to wait for the shower, and it moves quick.

The one woman who cleans the women's lockers is also on her game. She does a great job. The locker rooms are clean from what I can tell.

Its a meh for me. At least this location. I will try again because I really do want to...

Instructors are friendly, helpful and motivating - high-five as you enter and leave every class - and my favorite is Christina. It's an hour that flies by so quickly and you feel tired and good after each class. You can either split your time and do half treadmill and half floor exercises or spend the full hour on the floor using weights, bands and benches to work every muscle. I give each session a 10, but the locker room is small and overly crowded when one class is leaving and another starting - advice would be to come early to use the locker room when it's quiet and then stretch while you wait...

I’ve been going to Barry’s since the start in San Diego and then LA when I moved to West Hollywood and again in Surry hills when I lived in Australia. The good vibes and over the top high energy has always set Barrys apart from other HIIT classes. Not for nothing spending thousands of dollars for a workout I enjoy you think the front desk could make me a smoothie when I get out of class. Only Boston Barrys downtown location have I had a problem with. Last class I took I wanted to get a smoothie from the fuel bar, the girl at the front desk said they couldn’t make it till the next class in 30 minutes. Disappointed with the lack of...
