Barry's Boston Downtown: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Popped in for a class while on vacation and very pleased with this studio, very clean, spacious, efficient, good location. Stephanie as an instructor had good demos, unique floor sequences, and fun music, which motivated me to hit a personal best sprint on the treadmill! Would return again when I'm in Boston
Fantastic experience: Ryan is the best instructor in Boston!!
Fantastic experience: AJ is such a great manager he always remembers me and accommodates my spot preferences even though I book through ClassPass! Barry's in general is an amazing workout and I love all of the instructors but I have to shout-out AJ's customer service he is really the best!!
Fantastic experience: Bring your A Game!
Fantastic experience: I always enjoy Barry's. Ryan and the other instructors are friendly and polite. They take the time to explain the studio, etc. It's a bit pricey, but the classes are good. They use the HIIT method, combining cardio and strength training. The music is loud, the studio is dark, and the exercises are easy to follow. You just need your body to resist haha Everything to come out with an empty body!
Fantastic experience: Sweat and have fun! High energy classes led by incredible instructors!
Fantastic experience: The instructor and customer service representative are very friendly, approachable and polite. They take the time to explain the studio and acknowledge us. We had a great experience there!
Negative experience: The classes are good, but it’s very expensive. I contacted their management about over $1000 worth of classes that I couldn’t use in time due to a severe injury, and passed along my PT information for them to verify. They didn’t bother to respond in the past month, so I guess it’s on me to eat the cost. All I was looking for was an extension, not even a refund, but I guess once a customer has paid they aren’t important enough to provide with even basic decency. I’d highly recommend you avoid this place.
Fantastic experience: Molly was awesome! This was my first ever Barry’s class, I have put it off for YEARS. She spoke so clearly, did demos again and again for those of us (me) who dont retain anything and was so so encouraging during and after class. Her energy was contagious! I cant wait (??) to come back to her class and to Barry’s!
Fantastic experience: I started my energetic day with Candice. She led the entire session with such power and charisma. Kicking off a challenging day with her inspiring leadership is a real grateful thing. Looking forward to tomorrow. All the best!
Fantastic experience: I love this location! It always has great energy, a clean environment, and an amazing smoothie bar. Thank you, team!
Fantastic experience: Best front staff and instructors. Always a great workout and great experience!
Fantastic experience: Barry’s is an incredibly fun, positive place to get a real workout. Zero regrets every time I go! Love every trainer. You cannot go wrong.
Fantastic experience: I love this Barrys! The instructors always have the most amazing energy and everyone is so welcoming and friendly! 100% recommend it!
Fantastic experience: Professionals, local molt xulo i els batuts bonissims.
Fantastic experience: Molly G knows how to keep the room engaged and motivated. Awesome music too. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Kate was AWESOME. I did my first class with her - and I am looking forward to doing many more with her in the future. She does a really great job of keeping everyone engaged & motivated. She makes it fun, but she is also not afraid to push you harder! I honestly did not know what to expect from my first class at Barry's - but after experiencing Kate's class, I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to attend more classes!
Fantastic experience: The DTX locations is my second home to the CNH location, both definitely serves its purposes. I just LOVE Barry’s and the coaches in general.
Fantastic experience: great studio located right in front of downtown crossing station as someone who used to train only at f45, this was brand new experience bc the studio has bunch of treadmills which will force you to run which can never happen in f45 took two classes - run x lift and lift was quite hectic, as the music was too loud, it was too dark and the instructor was not very clear with instructions / postures but really loved the run part of the class coolest locker room, got everything you need just come empty bodied
Fantastic experience: This was my first Barry’s experience!!! It was the best!!! The front desk crew was so welcoming and helpful! Kelly is the best!!! I’ve followed her from spinning to Barry’s!! Loved loved the class. Thank you. WT
Fantastic experience: This studio is great! Class was challenging yet fun!
Fantastic experience: Great staff and fun classes - music is awesome & good workout ️♀️
Fantastic experience: Tristan; He visited Boston from Tampa. So- Tristan makes me want to take a trip to Tampa! He was great. Amazing energy great coaching kickass music. Challenging workout. He's a super star. He's also exceptionally good looking- so there is that also.
Fantastic experience: Coach Kelly is on another level! She is a professional athlete through & through and truly knows how to motivate in the best ways. I don't know how she maintains her enthusiastic guidance to both treads and floor while calling out everyone by name while simultaneously making time for birthday and class attendance milestones announcements! She makes everyone feel special and pushes us to the absolute best of our abilities. Best shape of my life cause of her! Thank you <3
Negative experience: Rude and unreasonable front desk staff. Arrived 3 minutes before class started to be told my spot was given away to the wait list. What’s worse, the front desk manager was confrontational, repeating at an elevated voice that I had violated their check in policy. Would not recommend this location.
Fantastic experience: I Love the welcoming atmosphere at Barry's especially when I 'm greeted by the front desk right when I come in the door. This workout is very motivating and pushes me to another level, especially with Kelly. I love all the instructors! Thank You Barry's Nikki Martin
Positive experience: The workouts are pretty moderate in skill level. Ultimately, it's a good way to get some cardio and light lifting in. The only reason I'm giving 4 is because the instructions can be hard to hear during the class, which makes it hard to get in the zone.
Fantastic experience: Barry's is very organized, like a well-oiled machine. There is ample staff at the front desk to help you. The workout is excellent and the instructors are fun. Don't be afraid to use the ear plugs since the music and the instructor's microphone over the music is so loud. You can still hear everything with two ear plugs in. There are only 3 showers in the womens room but they have great shampoo, soap, etc. and Dyson hair blowers. I was impressed there was a lovely cleaning person keeping the womens room tidy at 9am on Friday. Overall, a great experience.
Fantastic experience: If I could give this place 6 stars I would. Workouts are tough, and the coaches are positive and great motivators.
Fantastic experience: Loved it, amazing experience. The locker room and facilities are excellent. Workout was just the right mix of running and training, would definitely go again!
Negative experience: Called in and was rudely hung up on, and then sent directly to voice mail as if it wasn’t worth the time to speak to. If you work with customers, understand and value the service that should come along with.
Negative experience: I’ve been going to Barry’s since the start in San Diego and then LA when I moved to West Hollywood and again in Surry hills when I lived in Australia. The good vibes and over the top high energy has always set Barrys apart from other HIIT classes. Not for nothing spending thousands of dollars for a workout I enjoy you think the front desk could make me a smoothie when I get out of class. Only Boston Barrys downtown location have I had a problem with. Last class I took I wanted to get a smoothie from the fuel bar, the girl at the front desk said they couldn’t make it till the next class in 30 minutes. Disappointed with the lack of customer service.
Fantastic experience: Love the classes
Positive experience: Be warned: arrive with a large water bottle already full! This studio has no water bottle filler, so you have to ask staff to fill it for you behind the smoothie bar. It seems really odd that a luxury workout facility would not provide water for people to fill bottles, given the sweaty nature of the workout. Otherwise if you are extremely busy and don't want to think about your workout, this place is perfect. Show up a couple of times per week and you will get in great shape, as the workout includes strength training and cardio. It's great that you can "reserve" a spot in advance in case you want to be near a friend.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for being a staple of health in my life
Negative experience: The workouts are challenging but not worth the price. The music is still extremely loud, way beyond OSHA and NIOSH recommended levels. Gyms need to understand that extremely loud music does not equal more motivation, it equals hearing impairment! For the Butts & Legs session, I asked Garrett (the girl) to turn the volume down a notch. To my surprise she said I CAN'T. Told me to get some earplugs instead. What a way to please customers... try wearing earplugs while sweating like a pig, it's so uncomfortable an not hygienic.
Fantastic experience: I come once a week or so. The instructors are great - they’re very welcoming to first timers and will walk you through the class. I know I was intimidated the first time since Barry’s has a cult following! Renovations were recently made to the front but the locker rooms still desperately need a touch up. Half the lockers are only on one hinge and 2/4 showers in the women’s locker room aren’t working. And one of them has the worst water pressure that I feel like makes me stay in there longer since I can’t get soap off of me!
Fantastic experience: The workout is challenging. 5/5
Fantastic experience: Best staff best people
Negative experience: My experience at this studio was disappointing. I’ve been to Barry’s studios around the world, and this was probably the worst. Starting with the workout… unfortunately, it wasn’t energetic and challenging like I’ve come to expect. The instructor (Greg) didn’t have great flow, the music was so-so, and the studio was way too hot. The locker rooms also felt dated and were missing items I’ve come to expect in Barry’s locker rooms (i.e. blow dryers). I’m a big fan of Barry’s and make an effort to visit new studios when I’m in a new city, but I wouldn’t recommend this studio or instructor to a friend.
Positive experience: Good class. Compared to the UK studios, the changing room facilities were not the best. Limited room to change, lockers not working, 3 shower cubicles, & toilet not clean.
Fantastic experience: Great Barry’s location.
Fantastic experience: Amazing workout with some of the best instructors!
Fantastic experience: Lots of points
Negative experience: If gentrification was a gym, it'd be Barry's. There was nothing special about the workout that warrants the price (I get it.. they take up prime real estate so their rents must be very high). The music was incredibly loud-I don't love having Justin Bieber blasted in my ears since there are like 8 speakers and all of them are next to the treadmills. Talking about treadmills--why am I paying someone to have me workout on the treadmill for half the class? Maybe accept less students per class, have them ALL workout on the ground, instead of switching back and forth between treadmill and bands/weights. This place sucks and clientele is pretend bougie.
Fantastic experience: The best most efficient use of your time. Get in, run and lift for 50-60 minutes and leave drenched in sweat and feeling accomplished. Repeat as often as necessary to see real results. Caution: this is not for the faint-hearted so come willing to give it your all.
Fantastic experience: One of the greatest locker room facilities of any Barry's I've been to.
Fantastic experience: Cool place, good classes, feeling fit after first workout
Fantastic experience: Love this place!! Kicks my butt Everytime but I always leave feeling super accomplished!!
Positive experience: Great atmosphere, excellent juices
Positive experience: I was bored with the gym and needed something fun, upbeat and yet still got me moving. Friend told me about Barry's and was hooked from the first session. Instructors are friendly, helpful and motivating - high-five as you enter and leave every class - and my favorite is Christina. It's an hour that flies by so quickly and you feel tired and good after each class. You can either split your time and do half treadmill and half floor exercises or spend the full hour on the floor using weights, bands and benches to work every muscle. I give each session a 10, but the locker room is small and overly crowded when one class is leaving and another starting - advice would be to come early to use the locker room when it's quiet and then stretch while you wait for your class.
Fantastic experience: Tough, but good. Excellent instructors and facilities. Well located.
Fantastic experience: Believe their marketing: Best workout in the world!
Fantastic experience: Best workout in Boston
Fantastic experience: Challenging workouts!
Fantastic experience: best workout in boston
Positive experience: Definitely one of the toughest workouts I've done in a while. I found myself surrounded by a lot of very, very motivated people. Really high price point but one of the best workouts you'll find in Boston.
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. They offer a wide variety of different classes to tone different parts of your body, the classes are usually pretty packed with a lot of very motivated people, the instructors are really nice, the music is very on point, and the facilities there are nice.
Fantastic experience: All the teachers are great, Chris is the best. If you have knee problems you can ask to skip the treadmill sections and the teachers will customize something for you.
Fantastic experience: 15 min running, 15 min weights, repeat, sore for 2 days.
Fantastic experience: One of the best workouts in town. Not cheap but worth every penny. Only attempt if you are into sprinting and strobe lights!
