The instructors are amazing. The energy is infectious. It is clean. The locker room is fantastic… The towels are plush and the soaps, etc. are top of the line. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. It is a truly wonderful experience.

Good times! Such a fun class. DETAILS -- It was a solid HIIT workout class featuring cardio/core/upper body. Alyson kept the energy high throughout. She was very active in showing the movements to the newbies and gave that slight push to bring out the best in all of us. Thanks!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to write this review--I've attended over 200 Barry's classes across nine different studios with 60 instructors, and Philly has quickly become one of my favorites. While my most frequented location is Noho from my NYC chapter, Philly is home now, and I'm grateful for this studio.

Barry's is the gold standard of fitness classes in its size category (global presence). The workouts are consistently challenging, the music is always on point, and the instructors are fantastic at reading the room. They push and support when necessary, creating the perfect balance of motivation and intensity.

One of the things I love most about Barry's is the community. There's something special about knowing you can walk into a studio in any city worldwide and get the same high-quality workout, clean amenities, and a welcoming vibe. The Philly studio delivers on that front.

A key differentiator for Barry's workout is the running portion. I truly believe running makes the workouts significantly more effective, and the Woodway treadmills are unbeatable--they have lower impact, are smooth, and are fun to run on.

The studio is top-tier--always spotless, with well-maintained lockers (with locks!) and a fuel bar that makes post-workout refueling easy (shoutout to the delicious shakes). The Barry's app is also well-designed, making it easy to book classes and understand the daily focus areas.

I also appreciate the diversity of trainers and workout styles--each instructor brings something unique while staying true to the Barry's experience. While I haven't purchased any apparel yet, I love that Barry's partners with great brands and consistently offers high-quality gear.

Most importantly, Barry's Philly is diverse, inclusive, welcoming, and always striving to improve. I'll keep coming back and continue to be a Barry's evangelist.

If you're thinking about trying it, do it! You won't regret it.

I enjoy attending classes here when I can make it. I do find it very inappropriate that men can go topless/shirtless during class. I don’t think any of my clothing as optional during a workout.

If someone tells me they do Barry's consistently, I just know they're a DAWG. You can cheat solidcore, you can cheat corepower, but you can't cheat Barry's. You gettin a SWEAT.

My only issue is I really can't make out 70% of what the instructor is saying. I find it so hard to discern if she is talking to the people on the floor or the people on the treadmills, let alone what she is actually saying... but I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer so take that with a grain of salt.

I just kind of look over at what my girlfriend is doing, and do +1 speed or just go straight by feel.

I love the mix of weights and cardio, and there is nothing like pushing yourself on a treadmill to see your top speed. There is something so freeing in making the mental decision of "I'm either going to hit this speed or I'm going to hit the floor in front of this whole class. No in between."

You can also order a smoothie to be ready right when you finish class, which is such an elite touch. Having my Slutty PB smoothie waiting for me after I just left my soul in the Barry’s Red Room is what life is all about.

Remember earlier when I said I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer? Well I just want to clarify something: I am sharp…and I am in the drawer.

I’ve been going to Barry’s for over 10 years and I just keep going back. No matter what stage of my fitness journey I’m at - crushing road races, pregnancy and postpartum, or just having a good time with friends, Barry’s has been there. From Kelly Whittaker in Boston to the amazing Philly community and trainers she’s mentored, they’re all killing it. Go to Barry’s!

Kate D was really good instructor! Even though it was a small class on holiday weekend for Labor Day, she brought good energy! Also, I was DF at the end, she filled me in what missed when I stepped out for a second. Very thoughtful!

Love the studio! The front desk is nice. Good layout and most importantly the instructors are great. Dylan is very motivating and personable as an instructor. His classes are challenging, but they feel easier given how kind he is. He also encourages people to move forward with positive affirmations.

Kristine was great! I was in town visiting from DC and I can tell you Kristine energy was amazing. She clearly articulated well for the “first timers”, had a FIRE playlist, provided demos, and pushed everyone to go the distance while fatigued. Oh yeah, very little rest breaks occurred. I’ll definitely pull up every time I’m in Philly!

Took Sydney’s class this past Friday and it was incredible! One of the best coaches I’ve come across. Killer playlist, spot on cues, and the perfect blend of coaching/motivation/energy. Was thrilled to experience Syd making Philly one the top Barry’s experiences!

Every class has different styles but pushes you to your limits. The studio is well ventilated and they do a great job when entering the studio of creating an atmosphere that shifts your mentality to getting ready to work hard without distraction.

Great class, great facility, friendly staff. However, I wanted to leave the entire time because it was so loud. I missed a good amount of what the instructor was saying, as he needed to shout over the music. I wouldn’t be surprised if the staff are exceeding OSHA limits, as our workout averaged 98dB over 50 minutes. I want to work out, not lose my hearing. Given that I doubt this will change, I won’t be going back and I can’t recommend anyone else go without hearing protection.

I was in Philly with a group for a leadership conference and a few of us decided to sign up for a Barry's session. When we arrived at this Barry's location they told us the session would be free as many of us have not participated in a Barry's training before. I was unsure what to expect for the class, but was pleasantly surprised with how the class was organized and well-structured.

For the workout, there was a floor group and a treadmill group. It was divided into two rounds of each (floor and treadmill) with the participants in the class alternating with each other. The room was dark with red lights and lively music to keep everyone going. Dylan instructed the class and did an excellent job explaining the exercises and kept the energy high throughout the workout. There is a smoothie bar at the front where you can get many different flavors to refuel after your workout.

I will definitely sign up for another Barry's class and recommend it to anyone who is serious about keeping in shape. Thank you for the great workout and making it free for many of us for our first time.

I arranged a class for a group of folks in a leadership program and we just had our first class - wow!! It was many people’s first time taking a workout class and nearly everyone’s first time at Barry’s, and we had such a great experience. Thank you to the front desk staff for getting us all checked in and answering questions, and shout out to coach Dylan, who made sure everyone knew what to do and cued us all perfectly. We had such a great time and I’m sure many of us will be back! Thank you!

Great workout but super overpriced, especially given the lack of motivation of many instructors (they don’t even bother using weights to demo the exercises).

Stopped in for a shake/smoothie after visiting Bucky Body Center. It’s a clean, beautiful space and seemed to have good crowds for the class that was in session. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick fix on a protein shake or smoothie.

Tried a Saturday morning class. Liked the intensity of the workout and definitely felt sore after.
But not a huge fan of the loud environment, to constantly concentrate hard on what the trained is saying about the next movement while music is blasting.
Loved the changing rooms and smoothie bar.

Barry’s is a great efficient workout. I take Sydni Arnett’s classes. She always finds a way to keep class uplifted and motivated. Great voice. Better playlists.
Not to mention she creates each class agenda herself aka knows what she’s doing. Def recommended.

I took my first Barry’s class with Ahmad yesterday. While the class was an awesome workout & challenging at times - Ahmad pushed the class from start to finish!! His high energy (and killer playlist) helped me stay motivated to not quit or give up. Highly recommend Barry’s to anyone looking for a good sweat and a fun time.

In Philadelphia on business and realized there was a new Barry’s open. I am a member in DC. Same results: great instructors, sparkling facility and a great workout. I recommend to anyone in Philly to give Barry’s a try. Excellent well run company.
