I usually don’t do reviews unless I am really impressed, and this place has been fabulous. Every instructor is great, but specifically Vince, Angela and Brooke have been fantastic. I have never felt comfortable taking group fitness classes but my friend showed me this place and I have loved it, so for anyone unsure about taking a group class just try it out because you may be surprised at Barrys.

I may be biased living in San Diego but this is my favorite Barry's because the room is a bit smaller than other locations I've tried so it feels like a semi-private group training. The energy is felt no matter where the trainer is walking or demo-ing during the class and music choice is *chef's kiss*

Barry's Bootcamp IS AMAZING.

I love the motivation and calorie burning of HIIT, and the instructors like Brooke and others are super. I've taken many classes at other gyms and Barry's before and every time I leave a class ay Barry's, I feel like I got a super workout, including cardio and full body strength training.

They split the class into half treadmill, half floor, but you can double up if you want.

I love the energy of the instructors and the space. Plus they renovated the space, including enlarging the bathrooms and adding showers. They provide towels and have a water refill station and combo lockers, so just bring your water bottle.

I am returning from an ankle injury in 2021 so slowly getting back into fitness and Barry's has been an awesome part of my wellness journey.

Just took my second class at Barry’s with Stevie and she was amazing! Her energy was so motivating and really kept the whole class pumped up.

Can’t wait to take more of her classes!

I'd give Barry's Hillcrest 100 stars if I could. Love, love, love the instructors. They are fun and entertaining, but also very challenging. I always get a great workout. It's nice because some days I want to push myself hard, so I do, but some days I am just glad to get my body into the Red Room, and nobody makes you feel bad about yourself if you decide to take it a bit easier that day. It's a super supportive community, and the front desk is seriously THE NICEST ever and is honestly one of the only places that still prioritizes stellar customer service. Best of all, I am in my (late) 40's and in the best shape of my life.

Maya has incredible energy, great music, and delivers a killer workout.

Brooke is the whole reason I am at Barry's. She invited me to try her class over ten years ago. And I have been going ever since and have been bringing my younger nieces too. I have been to several different locations and while all the instructors have been amazing. Brooke really is in a class of her own. By far the best instructor at Barry's and it's not even close. However, the other instructor I always go to is Maya..she is amazing as well. Literally the only instructor in the entire world who could get me to workout on a Friday after a week of work. She too is that good.

My friends and I had an open weekend morning and two of us had passes to use up, so we decided to book a class on a Sunday at 8:30am with Halle. It was 2/3 of our first times trying out Barry's, although we had done classes similar before (i.e. OT)

- PARKING -
There's 2-hour spots right in front of the entrance, and additional parking in the nearby lot and streets.

- SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT -
Since it was two of our first times there, we went in blindly and followed our friend's instructions and general advice. I think otherwise we would have gone to the front desk and expressed it was our first visits and hopefully they would have guided us. There's merch available to buy and lockers in the lobby area. They have a Men's and Women's locker room, where additional lockers can be found. The Women's locker room seemed to still have some construction going on, so the walls didn't look the absolute best. There's showers available but the space overall is quite narrow in my opinion, which would make it hard to change. Before you go in, there's a shelf with towels available for you.

- WORKOUT -
RUN X LIFT Total Body - Halle L. (50 min)
I'm glad there was a full-body workout available on the weekend as a sort of entry workout for us to try. When you sign-up online, you pick whether you start on the Treadmills or Floor. The number assigned to your Treadmill/Floor is the same number when you rotate in between the rounds. Once you walk into the room, you get started immediately. Halle, our trainer for this class, starts yelling out instructions to both the Treads/Floor members, and at first there was a lot going on to process. This was my first instructed class in a long time, and for it to be so fast-paced took a bit getting used to while still figuring out the room layout and equipment. I'm familiar with strength exercises and that made it a lot easier for me to get into the groove of things, but my friend isn't as well-versed and she said it was difficult to follow along.

The workout itself was demanding, but I definitely could have pushed myself more. Halle gives 3 levels each round, whether it's 3 different running speeds or 3 different weight amounts, you choose what works for you. Some people go above the stated levels, others go lower - I noticed you do get praised for going above and beyond but still encouraged throughout if you need to slow down.

- OVERALL -
I would recommend Barry's to Intermediate/Advanced fitness goers as it's much more fast-paced than other workout classes. You should have a good general knowledge of weight exercises and should be somewhat capable of 2 rounds of intense Treadmill runs. I enjoyed my experience and would definitely try another Barry's class, but my other friend says she would prefer other places.

If you're looking for a workout to get some cardio and weight lifting in before or after your work day, check out Barry's San Diego. The staff is always friendly and nice, and the cleaning crew does a phenomenal job keeping the place in tip top shape.

When class starts, it's a pretty straight forward bootcamp vibe - think HIIT workouts and good music with an awesome coach. Most folks show up a few minutes before class to check-in at the front desk before you're welcomed into the Red Room.

I recently took a class by Stephen, and let's just say, he was an incredible instructor. I was reluctant to take a 6:20PM class, especially after a long work day, but Stephen showed up - delivered - and set the bar for what every San Diego Barry's class should feel like. He was engaged, personable and really connected with the class, which doesn't happen with all instructors. You can tell he really cares about his craft, and it showed. My friend agreed.

On your way out, or between switching stations, don't forget to give your neighbors a fist bump for making it to class! Barry's isn't an easy workout.

Pro-tip #1: Try to get a spot away from the speakers, or else your ear drums will be suffering.

Pro-tip #2: Try to get a spot away directly in front of the fans, lol - trust me, your future self, after the first or second round, will thank you.

Pro-tip #3: Bring some water - seriously. You're going to need it.

Pro-tip #4: If this is your first time at Barry's, please do not push yourself. The coach's suggestions on speed, weight and rep are just that - suggestions. Be kind to your body and push yourself at your own comfort level.

GO WORKOUT HERE! This was the Best Barry’s bootcamp location I have ever been to… I thought Barry’s Boot Camp was hard but it wasn’t until I came to Barry’s bootcamp of San Diego that I realized it was super hard like wow I was shocked and dying in my class because of how hard I was being worked I was super impressed by the coach that instructed the class her energy was top notch she’s super happy, energetic, smart, well versed, technical, instructional, helpful and fun to listen to and get coached by the class really worked my muscles this was the first time that I left the Barry’s Boot Camp class where the next day my muscles were so sore I was Actually sore after taking this class for four days and mind you I have been taking Barry’s Boot Camp class in Los Angeles for three weeks prior to taking my first class in San Diego and not ONCE did I go home or feel sore the next day. Los Angeles classes are for sissy’s in comparison to this San Diego class. The gym itself was SUPER clean and had more to offer than the LA location. I found my self using the shower in this location and again it was super clean. I was impressed as well by the staff who were all super helpful, conversational, humble and sweet as opposed to the employees at the Los Angeles West Hollywood location. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Great workout but I was really disappointed there was no proper change room and no shower. I’m from Toronto and was visiting San Diego for the weekend. I wanted to catch a workout before my flight and wrongly assumed I could shower after the workout. I was left changing what looks like a closet and the bags go into lockers in the workout room! The Toronto facilities are super glam with great products and towel service! Not San Diego.

The class itself was a great workout which is why I was there. That said the front door kept opening which was distracting, and the treadmills were dated and not so easy to toggle between speeds which is required for the workout. The Toronto machines have many preset inclines and speeds which makes it far more expeditious to switch during the workouts!

Hopefully San Diego gets to see the type of Barry’s experience we have in Toronto sometime soon!

Of the other Barry’s locations I have visited (NYC, Toronto, Washington DC), this is definitely the least “glamorous” I have encountered.

Be warned - this location has no locker room (no showers, blow dryers, products, etc.), very tiny lockers (that can’t fit a normal backpack) located inside the studio, and no stretch area.

The staff here can be friendly, but is mostly apathetic.

The most bothersome part of the workout experience I encountered was a member of the staff constantly opening the front studio door during the class(es), exposing the room to the incredibly bright sunlight from outside, carrying ladders and mop buckets across the workout floor, and being a huge distraction. This felt super disrespectful to the students in the class - especially considering these classes aren’t cheap.

The workouts however, are good. Comparable to other locations I have visited. If you are looking for a good workout, this location will suffice. If you are looking for a great workout experience, I would suggest finding another Barry’s Bootcamp location.

I have been to this Barry’s Bootcamp location several times. Pretty good work out - similar to other Barry’s Bootcamp locations. However, the staff here are terrible. Dane was nice the first time but rude every other time. Vince is the worst. He is not friendly and does not correct anyone’s form. It seems like he just wants to flirt with guys in the class. The 2 blonde girls are pretty terrible. Angel is the exception. She is SO nice and is a great trainer. It seems like she genuinely cares.
