4 /5 Fouad Alkisswani: I got a free class from a promotional offer and was excited to try this concept - anything that gets me to do cardio is a win for me :)
It instantly reminded me of Barry’s, with two sections of the floor, a treadmill and weights section. There was a more upmarket vibe than Barry’s, and the floor section had weights, bands, and kettlebells right at your station (unlike Barry’s). There was also a noticeable difference in the treadmills. Barry’s uses Woodway treadmills, which are great, but these make it feel like you’re running on a cloud. Very impressive.
The focus on the treadmill portion was more distance/endurance than sprints (another difference from Barry’s), and I enjoyed the race to the finish - with bursting bubbles on the giant screen in front of us. A couple of suggestions: add showers, so “going home” isn’t a required step after a workout, and provide towels - this class is more than the local Barry’s ($35 vs. $34), so I’d expect similar amenities.
