Barry's TriBeCa — Local services in New York

I booked a team event here and, unfortunately, had a terrible experience.

My team and I arrived just in time for the class and went straight in without checking in first (my mistake for missing that in the fine print). When I entered, someone was already on the treadmill assigned to me, so I took the one next to it.

While we were sprinting, an employee came up to us mid-run to get us off the treadmill. This distraction caused one of my colleagues to fall off the treadmill really badly.

We were then told that because I hadn’t checked in, my spot had been given to someone on the waitlist and I would need to leave. As I was heading out, they said a floor spot had become available, so I returned to the room only to find that the spot was already taken.

Overall, this was a chaotic and disappointing experience (which I’ve never seen in any other fitness class). The situation was handled poorly, especially considering it involved a serious safety risk.

Next time, I hope the studio takes both safety and communication...

This location is on the smaller end. Since the showers are downstairs, it gets quite stuffy inside the downstairs lockers. The ventilation is poor and they have fans going in the Women's. While they have all the toiletries you'd need, there are only 3 showers. So expect to wait for one if it's a packed class. The hair dryers kept automatically stopping every ~5 min bc the power strip kept turning off for some reason, which was a bit annoying. The shower/ locker area gets packed quick when there are lots of ppl inside. The Red Room is also a bit on the smaller side. All the lighter weights are in a back sliver of the room, so l'd recommend to book a spot away from the corners of the room, unless you don't mind crowds by your spot atter each circuit. Overall, like many folks have said, l've been to nicer, larger Barry's locations. Their Chelsea location is my favorite of the few...

Anthony Keeling’s passion for teaching and fitness shine through when he leads RUN X LIFT Total Body. His voice is commanding, his energy is infectious, and you WILL NOT FIND AN INSTRUCTOR WITH BETTER PLAYLISTS AND MUSIC CURATION.

On the floor, you get the feeling that he is on the mat next to you, motivating the entire floor to do one more rep. He intersperses clear, effective instructions with simple inspirational phrases that make it easy to push a little bit harder.

On the treadmills, Anthony does not let anyone off the hook. He is incredibly good with names, and makes sure to address people one by one to make sure everyone feels seen and properly motivated.

I recommend to all my friends, especially those who haven’t tried a Barry’s class before, to begin their Barry’s journey...
