One word. Gui. Gui is an experience. Gui is wild. Gui is volatile. Gui is strict. Gui is insane. Gui is life.
This location is famously associated with likely the best Barry's instructor on the face of the planet - Gui. Many say you never really know Gui, you just experience him. And at this Barry's, you'll experience the full force of Gui (and probably follow him on instagram afterwards).
Like all Barry's, classes here are split between treadmill and weighted floor work. This location is especially awesome because it's close to lots of Midtown shopping and food plates (including Carrot Express - an insanely healthy option that is delicious).
The workouts here are more strenuous than the Barry's in NYC. Gui is no joke and he'll push you hard. This is a bootcamp after all. At the end of it, you'll be happy you did. Just don't walk on his treadmills or stand to the side. Run at all costs, even if you have to fake it!
Philosophers for thousands of years have debated the meaning of life. If you go to this Barry's, I think you'll get closer to figuring out. All...
   Read moreI enjoyed the actual workout. I found it challenging & fun. But sadly the instructor Nelson was so rude & condescending. Sarcastically saying on the microphone âcmon now.. you seem smart & strong Monicaâ after seeing I had mismatched dumbbells for one of the workouts. (its dark in there & was my first class). Then my friend & I were having trouble finding the bands & he kept on with another comment, instead of just telling us where they were (which would have taken less time). I then told him he could just say things nicely & that it was our first class.. and he straight up said âWell i canât be nice because then you know..â whatver that means? I understand we werenât there 15 minutes before the class for prep but thereâs a way to talk to people & an instructor is there to motivate & guide you.. not make you feel embarrassed or put you down. Seriously donât know how this guy is a trainer. He should probably try finance or IT, something that doesnât require people skills ya know. Other than that, the class is good & Iâd try it again, just with...
   Read moreEverything about Barry's Midtown is first class! The staff are super helpful and friendly each and everyday. The bathrooms and locker rooms are very nice and well kept. The bar with all the shakes is fabulous and they have your shake ready for you when you are finished with your class. Highly recommend the chocolate and peanut butter shake. The two best things about Barry's is Gui and his workouts! I attended Barry's four different times in the week I was visiting in Miami and only attended Gui's classes so I can't say anything about the other instructors. Gui may be a little nuts but he wants nothing but to get the best out of you! He definitely wants to see you give 100% everyday, so don't walk (when you are suppose to run) or bring your phone to the class. Never a dull moment with Gui as your instructor but he is top notch! If I lived in Miami, I would be a regular at Barry's. ...
