    This place is absolutely incredible! I've always loved high-intensity classes back in France, and I finally found my go-to spot in Toronto, Barry's has become a staple in my weekly routine. I can't imagine ending the week without at least one class here. From the coaches to the classes, the music, and the energy, everything is top-notch. I walk out of every session feeling empowered and energized. A huge thank you to the entire team, from the front desk to every coach, you’re all amazing! Special shoutout to Andrew and Kevin for always pushing me to do my best. You guys are next-level!

    Barry’s workouts are unreal. You get what you pay for and it’s HIGH intensity in the red room. Don’t be afraid / intimidated however, go at your own pace and ask the trainers for alts if needed. They’re all amazing!

    Great Barry’s location with friendly staff! Take a class with Brendan Easy to access via subway or streetcar. Good amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash). Smoothies are bomb. Only thing is that there's poor circulation in the room so it smells during class and may affect you pushing to your max.
