I have been a loyal customer of Barwis since it opened, bringing friends, referring others, and even having my team train there. Unfortunately, loyalty means absolutely nothing to Hilary, the so-called manager, or the gym itself. The boot camp pricing is never consistent—they increase the rates arbitrarily, with no transparency, no notification, no justification, and zero regard for long-term customers.
I was explicitly told that I could pause my membership and would be locked in at the same price when I returned. I confirmed this multiple times before reactivating my membership and attending a boot camp class. After the class, instead of reinstating my membership as promised, they charged me a drop in fee and charged my team’s card—which hasn’t been used in over a year—without authorization, even though my own card has been on file and used for payments before.
To make matters worse, Hillary decided after the fact that she would not honor the price when I returned, and instead, she increased the price by 200%. No explanation, no notice—just blatant disregard for what I was told and confirmed. This is not how you run a business, and it’s certainly not how you treat loyal customers. So instead of making something, they rather make zero. There has been other issues, as well. However, I liked the trainers and people I attended boot camp with, but I've had enough.
If you’re considering Barwis, save yourself the frustration. Their pricing is a joke, their management is incompetent, and their business practices are shady at best, which is not surprising when I don't think the Director of Business Operations has business acumen or background. There are plenty of other gyms that actually appreciate their members and uphold their commitments—this is not one of them.

Had Mac as my trainer, had a shoulder surgery done and this is by far the best physical therapy place I’ve ever been too. They have worked so hard for me and I’m so grateful.

I had a back surgery, triple heart bypass, right leg bypass with 82 staples and a debridement on my right foot that left me with 2 less toes! That was all with in 2 months less than a year ago. Ok now that you have that info you can imagine how bad of shape I was in having not really exercised for months after being in the hospital for 2 1/2 months. I started going back to my chiropractor that I was seeing Dr Jason Cheshire who recommended Barwis for Physical Therapy. I set up my first appointment on May 13, 2024 and on that day I met the amazing therapist Maciej " Mac" Bielen. I was in really bad shape like I said when I met him, not being able to raise my right leg, or move most of my body with my back giving me the greatest pain. Mac told me to just think about my time in PT one day at a time. I knew he cared about his clients cause he took the time to understand from me what I felt was wrong. what hurt! what I could do and not do. He then as if he could see the future methodically set me on a routine that changed with the issues that I was having on any given day. If my right lower back hurt he adjusted his applications for massage and the loosening of my muscles or if my right let hurt he would adjust for that. In doing so he allow me to experience progress each time I worked out with him. He took the time to loosen up my muscles each time with massage, pressure point adjustments and a lot of other techniques that addressed my specific pain of the day. He also knew I needed to build strength in order to walk, stand or even do simple exercise so he made sure that each day I worked with him on exercises that targeted that and he made sure that I knew what exercise to do at home to maintain some consistency with my progress at Barwis. He was looking after me even when I was not at Barwis. That helped me out a lot. I am a tennis player and played everyday for 20 years for the most part. These surgeries set me back 8 months but Mac asked me what my goal was and I told him it was to get back on the court to play tennis. I am happy to say that I've reached my goal and beyond. The entire staff at Barwis are remarkable, the facility itself is inspiring just to walk in and feel the energy which is so up lifting. One last thing, on one of my darkest days feeling very defeated, I drove to Barwis to do my PT with Mac. I parked and walked in and the moment I walked in the door I broke down and turned around and walked out. I sent a text to Mac to tell him that I was not up to the workout and that I would need to reschedule. Most people would have just accepted my text and said see you next time but NOT Mac. He took a minute to ask me what was wrong. Did I need to talk. At the moment my attitude changed. Someone cared enough to ask me how I was doing, that let me know that he was concerned and cared. That really changed my life. He told me that I had come a long way and that I was doing great. The most important thing he said was, "we are a team". I am here for you ! You are not alone in this. For all of you that are thinking about PT....do it! work at it! don't give up! you will be inspired by your own progress and the positive attitudes of others around you that are far more worst off that you. And if you can get Mac you will have a friend for life. But all the Therapist are amazing I saw them work with their clients just like Mac did with me. Go BRAWIS. So sign on the dotted line right away. ....I have life! I love life! I feel whole again and its due to the dedication of Mac and the fact that he pushed me all the way to where I am today. BRAWIS IS #1 IN MY books.

I love this place I've been attending it for 4 years but unfortunately it's starting to change I'm noticing a difference where I am getting taken off the schedule randomly and it's being filled by other people I am in a wheelchair and I have been going to this place and gaining a lot but every time they take me off the schedule it makes me decline by a lot as well, I don't understand what's going on with the front of house but something needs to change because they are going to start losing people soon

BARWIS surely exceed my expectations for doing my first physical therapy. It was recommended by my orthopedic due a my tennis elbow issue.
My physical therapist, Makayla, was very professional and friendly. She walked me through the whole process and gave clear instructions. The entire team all had good energy and the place surely has a nice workout vibe. Setup is spacious and clean.

It’s hard to know how to start. A season ending, soul crushing ACL and Meniscus tear sidelined an extremely talented and dedicated young 14 yo indoor volleyball player.
After surgery and basic PT, a dear friend directed us to Barwis in Deerfield Beach. Her daughter had suffered the same injury, different sport.
Dr Dominic Brugnoni in PT took control of her ACL specific rehab and return to play plan of attack. Dr Dom along with the best trainer, Tony Giachetti, that I have ever met worked with her multiple times a week from 6 ms post surgery to now 14 ms out and continuing.
They are athletes themselves so they get what it takes personally and professionally to get every athlete in this place back to top performance shape.
Barwis and these amazing people have become an essential part of her weekly trainings both physically and mentally.
This kind of injury to a young athlete that had just landed at the club she wanted to be at and on the team of her dreams, can definitely mess with your psyche. Dr Laura, in the sports psychology department here, has been unbelievable as well. My daughter isn’t a big talker but Dr Laura had gotten her to open up during the process and before her first tournament back which was exactly where the injury happened.
All of these amazing people along with Austin, the front desk manager, make whatever you need to happen… happen.
I cannot express my gratitude and admiration to this entire organization and recommend them enough.
Whether you’re a professional athlete or a young aspiring athlete or a tennis mom rehabbing or a a victim of a serious injury, this is the place for you.

I really wasn’t looking forward to doing physical therapy after my second knee surgery but my experience at BARWIS has been exceptional! I’ve worked mostly with Dom who’s been great but anytime I’ve had another member of the team work with me they have been super knowledgeable and I always felt confident they were doing a great job getting me closer to being back to 100%.

So my man always spoke super highly about this place almost to the point that it was kind of weird because he even went to the extent to say that his PT had a goatee that “shook him to his core” (what does that even mean?). But then he started taking my father to physical therapy at Barwis. My father is pre op in the process of going through a hip replacement surgery so we figured he could work his upper body as his lower body is indisposed. Tell me why two weeks in my day came home with a six pack??!?!? He’s 75??? Anyways make Barwis your choice because if they can give him a six pack imagine what they can do for you.

I came to the golden citadel that is Barwis after breaking my arm in two and shattering my wrist after a grappling injury. Broken and lost I came to Barwis seeking aid and assistance in any way possible. Thats when I saw him. Austen Hopsen. He strode in immersed in cool, calm and confident energy. He stood 6'4, his Barwis T-shirt barley containing his muscles that were chiseled by the gods themselves, his jawline was only covered by a goatee that shook me to my core. I knew instantly that I was in the right hands, not only cause they were mad strong like his pecs but also cause they were properly moisturized so I knew he wasn't just a brute but in fact an intellectual that easily reads 2-3 books a week. So don't be fooled, even though all Barwis PT's look like Olympic Athletes they all have their Doctorates and will completely discipline you in wordle should the need arise. All jokes aside Barwis took my completely mangled arm and turned me into the powerhouse stud that I am today. My doctor gave me 2 months to hold 2 pounds and Barwis helped me completely crush that goal. Within one month of my catastrophic injury Barwis helped me gain full mobility and my success has been shared beyond just myself. My father in-law as well as my sister have both received the world class care that Barwis offers and they both have reaped the rewards, with my sister making a full recovery post multiple shoulder surgeries and my father in-law gaining a six pack after rocking a keg for much of his life. Every PT in the room is rock solid. The facility is world class and the energy in the room is contagious. Really the only question you should have after reading this review is "when can I start".

I cannot believe that I haven't posted a review about Barwis yet. This facility and its staff are heaven on earth. My entire family has trained here. More importantly, the professionals here worked tirelessly and personally to rehab my daughter after her ACL reconstruction. A college athlete, she returned to school stronger than ever. If you visit this place on a busy day, and you are not internally moved by the many walks of life that regularly train here (from those with spinal or neuro deficits, to aspiring high school athletes, to the pros that we watch on tv), you need to check your heart. Everyone is pulling for everyone here. It is a positive environment that I have not seen recreated anywhere else.

I'm new to the Deerfield area and was on the hunt for a gym. My fiance had physical therapy at Barwis about a year ago after a car accident and raved about his experience. When I found out they offered gym memberships, I thought it was too good to be true. I've had a gym membership for the last 15 years. I've been a member of almost every type of gym out there. Barwis is one of a kind. I don't know whats more inspiring, working out alongside top athletes or people learning to walk again. If you're looking to better yourself or your health, or just want to hang out in a really cool place, check out Barwis.

Recovering from a hip replacement, Barwis Fitness and particularly, my physical therapist, Dom, did an amazing job in getting me back in shape towards a pain free future of active mobility. With Jenna as my trainer, she is able to follow up with all the innovative therapies. Barwis has an amazing team! Thank you!

Soooo glad I found this place. I had gone to other PT locations since my rotator cuff surgery but they didn’t understand rehab for sports (baseball for me) like Barwis does. Alaina has been great and really understands the throwing motion I’m trying to get back. I highly recommend Barwis for any PT or training but especially if it’s a sports related recovery. Besides the physical therapy they also have a great recovery room, workout gym, locker room and other facilities I might utilize one day.

Barwis is a great performance, training and physical therapy center. They are unique in the broad range of services they provide and just as much in the quality of staff which is first rate. I have had Physiotherapy elsewhere but never as good as Barwis. On top of this, the equipment they have is state of the art so the physio can work seamlessly with the personal trainers to get maximum results. Top athletes go there and their training routines are mixed in with the rest of us and serve as positive inspiration. I am very lucky to have discovered Barwis.

Never heard of Barwis? Well, you should know all about it. I am an aging athlete, almost 79 years of age. It's great that I can swim two thousand yards or walk/run a 5K or ride my bike for 10 miles, but that doesn't help me much in getting off the couch or out of a chair or with my range of motion, flexibility or balance. That's where Barwis comes in.
My physical therapist, Joe Fiorelli, is amazing. He is so very knowledgeable. He has me stretching to help my range of motion and many exercises to help my balance, flexibility and, oh yes, exercises aimed directly at sitting down and getting back up. What makes Barwis even more amazing is the level of athleticism, enthusiasm and training going on around me. Whether it's someone disabled from an accident or a professional athlete either in or trying to be selected for the NFL, NHL, MLB or NBA, the energy coming from these young athletes is absolutely infectious. You cannot but try to do better. I even volunteered to do wind sprints with some of these athletes, but wiser heads prevailed so I'm here to tell the tale.
To summarize, if you're training for an event or just for life; if you're recovering from a debilitating event or just want to be better at being you, Barwis is the place. Give it a try.

The best training facility I've ever visited. If you like to work out, try a Stay Strong class. The coaches will push you but understand injuries and regressions. The equipiment available is as varied as it comes. Workouts are challenging both cardiovascularly and muscularly. At the same time, this is a rehab facility that works with all kinds of injuries and abilities to maximize what a human body can do at any age and in any condition. If you're lucky, you may also bump into a major league player during off season. The music is uncensored and loud. The turf is a little itchy and messy but great to run on. Coaches Nick and Madeline are great.

This place has been great so far. My doctor recommended me to come because of all the pain I’ve been having, esp in my knee area. My first visit I met with Nick and he examined me and was really informative regarding my current situation. I have come back 2 times since then and have been working along with Jocelyn who is absolutely amazing. She’s been helping me with my issue and explaining everything as she helps me so I understand what’s wrong and what I can do to fix it. They even have a cool app you can use that shows you the exercises to do from home during this process. The facility is nice & big, and the front desk staff is very friendly and accommodating. I really enjoy this place and highly recommend it for PT!

I am not someone who enjoys working out. I dislike exercise and have been overweight my entire life. I have never seen results from a gym like I have at BARWIS! I started just a few short months ago at 190 flabby, disgusting pounds and today I am down to a lean 170 -- the best I have ever looked or felt.
I did not accomplish this on my own hard work or motivation; I didn't diet. I have some of the amazing people at BARWIS to thank for this. Two of them stand out to me in particular that I'd like to personally thank:
1. Meshella. Every time I walk into the gym, I am greeted by the sweetest, bubbliest and most caring person I've met. She learns the names of every client and I don't think I could picture her without a smile. From the moment I started at BARWIS, she would tell me: "Take off your shoes, empty your pockets, let's see how much weight you loss this week!" And would follow up with a high-five every time I got off the scale. She pumps me up with words of encouragement, and after every work out is done, she is right there to congratulate me on being sweaty and sore. THANK YOU MESHELLA!
2. Jake. He is the trainer for the classes we take. I see him two, sometimes three times a week. He is awesome! He is constantly motivating us, making us laugh, making us sweat and making us ache. He has a fun disposition but he knows what he is talking about and just like Meshella, he knows his clients. Every week he changes his routine to tailor it a little more to his students. It doesn't get boring, it always gets harder. He has watched me lose weight and slim down and his response to it wasn't that he was proud, but excited to now help me gain muscle in place of what was once fat. He doesn't let us end a work out with a team cheer and shout. THANK YOU JAKE!
