Barry's SOHO

Fantastic experience: Great Barry's location!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been cheating on my beloved Third Space with Barry since April and … though the mistress not become a wife, I bloody love the workouts, the energy, the camaraderie in class and the banging tunes in class. The desk staff are uniformly great and the instructors are fantastic. The lift room - when I started the idea of 50 mins weights was not my bag but it is so much fun. This is a great studio and the classes are lots of fun.

Positive experience: i do like barry’s but they always start their classes late. the instructors are always outside chatting to the front desk when the class is meant to start which is extremely frustrating

Positive experience: Tried the HIIT & Run Full Body class. The exercises were fine but felt random (no clear structure, scales or supersets) and it didn’t seem like much thought went into the sequence. The running section was frustrating; I spent more time adjusting the treadmill settings than actually breaking a sweat. The sound system was terrible (it was hard to hear the instructor) and the lights kept turning off during sprints (which seems downright unsafe when people are running at full speed). Facilities are undeniably nice, but there’s a queue for everything (showers, hair dryers, etc) which takes the shine off. To top it off, no one wipes down equipment between sets, so you end up exercising in a pool of other people’s sweat. Overall, disappointing. After all the hype I've heard about BARRY'S, I expected much better. I’d take a WOD at Gymbox or a Hyrox session at Topnotch any day.

Negative experience: For the second time I had a bad experience arriving at the location and being informed that I was on the waiting list for the class. The attendant said that this problem was Barry's and that she would give me credit. I don't live in the city and I'm not interested in going back to be frustrated for the third time. I believe they sold the website for more and have no control over it. Today, Saturday, October 11, the Piccadilly station is down and I wasted my time and money taking an Uber to be on time. This is disgusting and I expect my money back.

Positive experience: Unfortunately it is too loud. Both during the workout and in the changing room.

Positive experience: Visiting from NYC, I found the studio is busy compared to other Barry’s locations, but I think that’s what makes it feel a bit more sterile and unfriendly. I also didn’t love the locker room situation which has all the showers in a L shape opening into the main part of the locker room which seems a bit too public. Jake was a good instructor, who seems popular. Classes were a bit less challenging than the city.

Negative experience: Shannon the coach was terribly rude — some basic respect for the coach/client relationship, he has a militant personality type — where no doubt he feels like is always right and it was a squeeze to get any sort of apology from him. Soured my flavour for Barry’s

Fantastic experience: Cute deskers and the best workout in the world! I always feel so much stronger and happier leaving Barry’s SOHO. It’s a great place to make new friends or bring old ones when they’re visiting London. Davis, Ems, and the whole desk team will make you feel like a million bucks. The trainers will push you to be your absolute best — Shannon, Hannah W., and Danielle are some of the best out there! Barry’s SOHO HIITs every time!! 10/10

Fantastic experience: Love Barry's and love this branch. Super friendly, nothing is too much trouble for the team, from charging my phone to opening my locker, always with a smile. Thanks for an amazing workout!

Negative experience: I am a huge Barry's fan, having tried few locations in the US and UK but feel like the front house/reception staff at this location/SoHo are quite poor. It depends on the person, but lack of queue, and some staff come of bit stand offish/only interested in talking to customers they know. Had an experience where was just ignored me for 5 mins while trying to confirm my spot number. Otherwise, the showers/changing areas are great/very clean, but can get busy. Some really great trainers too. Unfortunately, I will not be buying any more class passes as feel like the reception environment where you have to check in is quite off putting and not something you can navigate out off.

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout and atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the best Barry’s studio I have been to out of the 5 countries I have taken classes in. The facilities, instructors and class frequency all combine to make it a great offering. The LIFT classes offer a great alternative for those who prefer not to run.

Fantastic experience: An absolute winner when it comes to getting you in shape in no time! Always great fun, music, people! Just hits the spot everytime! Jemma was as always insane and delivered most hardcore workout which I am so greatful for ( sore but greatful)!

Fantastic experience: It’s amazing! I’ve only recently started doing Barry’s and have found the Lift classes really fantastic. The team at Barry’s Soho are so welcoming and encouraging but never pushy. Really happy to have started going and can’t wait to come back! Also the changing rooms are amazing. Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: Came for the first time and I loved it. I am not into fitness whatsoever so this was a big jump out of my comfort zone but Hannah had great energy and was extremely understanding! She did not judge or tell me off when I would pause or completely stop and walk to the treadmills (instead of staying doing weights). I felt clueless initially but it’s easy to pick up the pace as the exercises aren’t too complex (still very impactful) so I didn’t have much trouble copying everyone else around me. The music was also great, it was especially fun running on the treadmill with the loud music, the choices were very motivating. Only bit of criticism I have is that maybe for beginners it might seem a bit overwhelming at first as the instructions aren’t the most clear. For example Hannah would shout out the speed, incline etc but for someone like me who didn’t even know how to turn a treadmill on it felt confusing at first. But like I said Hannah’s energy was great and it wasn’t THAT complex for me to not understand throughout as I just watched everyone else around me. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: Barry’s Bootcamp Soho is honestly the best workout experience in London. The trainers are incredible—not just insanely knowledgeable, but so motivating and genuinely friendly. They push you to your limits while making sure you feel supported the entire time. No ego, no intimidation—just good vibes and a killer workout. The front desk team is just as great. They’re always welcoming, super helpful, and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. It’s those little things—remembering your name, asking how your day is—that make a difference. And the workout itself? Brutal in the best way possible. The energy in the room is unreal, the music is always on point, and you walk out feeling exhausted but accomplished. It’s addictive in the best way. If you’re looking for a place that actually makes you want to work out, Barry’s Soho is it.

Fantastic experience: Love coming here and the protein shakes after - wow. Actually really interesting as if you order a protein shake it just charges to your account, makes it handy cause many sports shorts have smaller pockets, pretty hard to carry cash or, even, cards. However, I did ask how long the shakes would keep in the fridge but they were unsure but that doesn’t tarnish the shine from the experience. Keeps me sane, while giving me pain! Get down, if you can!

Fantastic experience: Nice workout

Fantastic experience: Kindest staff ! So much fun, challenging but exhilarating ! Thank you, feel the best after Barry's.

Fantastic experience: Great workouts as usual and super central location. Staff friendly and totally worth the price

Fantastic experience: The desk staff was extremely kind— it was my first time in this studio and they made my experience wonderful. The trainer (Jacob) was also extremely kind and welcoming, I was very pleased with my experience there, thanks to all the team! Also, everything was sparkling clean.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Barry's Bootcamp for a few years now, and I have to say that Robbo is absolutely amazing! From the moment she starts the class, you can feel her energy and enthusiasm, and it’s contagious. She has this incredible ability to have fun, motivate and challenge the group all at the same time while also giving individual attention to everyone. The energy in her classes is electric! Whether it’s her upbeat playlist or the way she pushes you to challenge yourself, every session feels empowering. Her workouts are always different, variable and tough but doable, each week and she tailors modifications for all fitness levels, which I really appreciate. I walk out of every Friday 6am class feeling accomplished and excited to come back for more!

Fantastic experience: Love this Barry’s

Fantastic experience: I went in on Monday to enquire about the Xmas deal and was greeted by Elle (who incidentally was just starting in a new managerial role). Elle was super friendly and helpful in talking me through my options and finding the best deal for me, and I will definitely be returning to train in this studio with her and the team- thank you again!

Fantastic experience: Hells week was really good i definitely recommend trying it out

Fantastic experience: Really great first session and would definitely return, the attentiveness of the Instructor Lucy, with such a big group, was very impressive :)

Fantastic experience: The place is very central, spotless and with caring staff. They also have a brand shop and a Shake bar, just in case you forgot your proteins home or need an extra boost. Changing room are very well kemp and Classes are a Vibe, pushing you right through the end!

Fantastic experience: Barry's is one of my favourite London workouts.

Fantastic experience: Best HITT session I’ve done my whole life . Absolutely loved the class , it was my first time doing a Barry’s class and I will definitely be returning. 2 days later and my legs are swore I really feel the burn in my glutes exactly what I wanted .

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time doing the lower body focus class! Facilities are A1 and our instructor Craig was an absolute star- explained everything as we went on and kept the group extremely motivated with their great vibes and positive energy. If you are looking to establish a great workout routine and or wanting something more challenging this class is suitable for all levels of fitness. I know I definitely will be back and loved the fact I could help myself to a tasty but healthy smoothie after my workout class. Barry is unmatched!

Fantastic experience: I had such an intense and great workout! Love every single bit of it and I am a happy member now. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Just had my first class today and love it!!! I had lower body focused with Craig, he has such an amazing energy! It is such a motivating space & you just feel like keep going with the rest of the class. You leave the class full of energy. Thank you to all the team for being so kind also to Zena for helping me out with my lock

Fantastic experience: They have a really cool swing

Fantastic experience: It is a really great Barry’s studio in London. The staff are so friendly and it’s always spotlessly clean.

Positive experience: Well to sums it up in little Its a hot mess Went with friends first but the classes are jo hard to understand what the trainer is saying and wants us to do. If you haven’t been there for few times you won’t understand all that shouting and loud music until you look wats your neighbour is doing The locker room is small and there is always queue for shower and for lockers

Fantastic experience: Clean, great facilites and always leave having worked hard.

Fantastic experience: Very well located. 5 mins walk from Oxford Circus station (Argyll street exit). Look for this exit and it will take you to Barry’s quicker. Water fountain is a little bit slow but it’s working… They have a lot of shower rooms in this Barry’s which is really handy for big classes.

Negative experience: Ella at the front desk was lovely! Apart from that, it’s a very unwelcoming, unfriendly prejudiced environment all around. Cool hoodies though. Won’t be going back.

Fantastic experience: This is the best Barry’s studio I’ve ever been to. The desk staff are so friendly and it’s always spotlessly clean. Taylor and Naomi are highlight instructors, amazing sequences and playlists to match. They bring the best energy, I just wish Naomi taught in more Soho red room classes, which I think a lot of people would love.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! The trainers are fit, the classes are hard, everyone leaves this place feeling elated, and the shake bar is top notch.

Positive experience: Least favourite out of all the Barry’s in London. Staff is rude and inattentive, res room has barely any AC

Fantastic experience: Great workout

Negative experience: Update: despite their response they never reached out. Which shows this studio does the absolute least. There are some great instructors, but this studio could be more friendly overall. They also ignored my 200th and 250th milestones, which was a bummer, considering all the time and money I've pumped into Barry's. It would have been fun to celebrate those. But, mostly, I think they need to work on being nicer. The staff behind the desk often seems too busy, bothered, or indifferent to smile and warmly welcome people as they arrive and check in. The first thing out of their mouth should not be "Sur name?” followed by a blank stare. A friendly hello would be a better choice. There should be some training based on how Barry's is internationally known for its community feeling, and this location could benefit from prioritizing member experience.

Fantastic experience: Omg! Wow! I did this for the first time today and I feel incredible! This was so engaging, energizing and stimulating. Will be signing up for a membership

Fantastic experience: It's at the middle of soho , but the class was great

Fantastic experience: Love the Rhys Harding classes

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, facilities and very welcoming reception staff.

Positive experience: Love the changing rooms and the consistency of the workout, but the workout room smells to the high heavens of mould :( surely that can’t be healthy to inhale during an intense workout. The SW1 Barry’s doesn’t seem to have this issue.

Fantastic experience: Amazing new studio with spacious changing rooms and a LIFT studio in addition to the normal tread class. Wonderful instructors, as always, and a great location for meeting someone before/after for coffee, lunch, etc

Fantastic experience: Luke, who works at Barry’s Soho literally makes my day when I come to do a class. His customer service is unmatched. Always goes above and beyond with his kindness. Small details with smoothies or even just a smile when I come to check in - a huge part of why I keep coming back.

Fantastic experience: This is the only Barry's studio in London that offers LIFT classes in addition to Barry's traditional Red Room workouts. LIFT is an upgrade to Barry's double-floor workout. LIFT has a dedicated room at Barry's Soho studio so there are no treadmills in there (yay!); just a room full of weights and benches. LIFT classes are based on the same Barry's Red Room format e.g. Mondays, arms and abs; Tuesdays, leg day, etc, but the difference is that the classes are run on a programme over a set number of weeks. You can ask the trainer for the benchmark if unsure as the chalkboard outside the studio may not be up-to-date (Sunday is missing from the board). The aim with the benchmark moves is to see progression in your lifts. Barry's LIFT would be ideal for those who want to lift heavy, those who love weights, those up for a challenge, and those who are results-driven. There are plenty of fab instructors who do LIFT at Barry's - Klaudia, Zoe, Rhys, and Naomi are some of my faves. You're guaranteed an excellent workout with Klaudia so I'd definitely recommend doing any of her classes at any of Barry's studios - she gives us exercises that happen to be ones I love such as the staggered/ incline push-ups, gorilla rows, concentration curls, and renegade rows so I'm always well-chuffed when I see Klaudia's name pop up on the LIFT schedule. I do double-floor when I take Klaudia's Red Room classes at Barry's St. Paul's and SW1 studios, as she's not often at Soho. I currently come to Soho for Zoe's LIFT class on a Sunday, who is pictured alongside me in the photo I've uploaded. And like Klaudia, she's a fantastic trainer who knows how to connect with the clients so I consider them both excellent brand ambassadors for Barry's (I work in the field of marketing and brand management so I'm adept at spotting talent). Those who do want to do Barry's traditional tread-and-floor workout (i.e. Red Room) can still do so at Barry's Soho in the room next door to the LIFT room but if you want to make gains, the LIFT room is the place for you. I'd like to give a special shout-out to the cleaning staff who are all friendly and hospitable and very supportive. But overall, my five-star rating goes to the trainers. I come to this studio for them, the trainers, because it's them who give Barry's its success, and it's them who make this studio a pleasure to visit.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with good classes and friendly staff. Super clean all-around and changing rooms have nice showers with ample amenities.

Fantastic experience: Love it- such a good studio with typical high quality Barry’s products and good quality high energy instructors

Fantastic experience: Great work out

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Samantha is amazing, high energy, gets you in the mood. The training session’s absolute fun.

Fantastic experience: Great classes, brilliant instructors and lovely changing facilities

Fantastic experience: Fantastic work out! Best fitness studio in the world!!!! Love Freddie and Honey’s class.

Fantastic experience: Amazing workout! Taylor’s class is always fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Love this place

Fantastic experience: If you want a good workout that will challenge you and have you drenching in sweat, this is for you! I love it ! ❤️ It has definitely made me stronger!

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, friendly staff, clean showers and amenities and most importantly - delicious protein shakes :)

Fantastic experience: Towels for shower not to work out with, Deodorant, hairspray, dry shampoo, hair dryers, hair strainers, cotton buds, cotton pads. Great workout and staff!

Positive experience: Overall good class at Barry’s Soho. The studio is massive, big red rooms, and spacious change rooms/shower area. We did the total body workout. I’ve been to many Barry’s classes at a lot of locations (Toronto, New York, Paris, Hong Kong, Dubai, Singapore). This class was average, it felt a bit chaotic, not sure if this was because of how fully the class was. Regardless, looking forward to trying the other London locations!

Positive experience: Great workout. Love the Barry’s formula: super efficient workout, burn tons of calories and time flies by. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: A beautiful studio. I go to the studio in Long Beach, CA and came to this location as part of my vacation and it waa a fantastic experience. I was able to book through the app, the equipment was easy to understand, the treds were in mph and the lock room was one of the most beautiful lock rooms I've been in. A fantastic experience. The workout was easy to understand and packed.

Fantastic experience: Always heard about Barry’s and had been meaning to try it out. Great intense workout - definitely not for the lighthearted! Nice space, I like that they have classes on outside of the usual timings. Friendly staff and energetic instructors!

Fantastic experience: A great vibe with professional trainers who push you to perform at your best.

Fantastic experience: Excellent class with Vitor. Staff is very friendly and studio is well kept.

Fantastic experience: Barrys classes are great

Fantastic experience: My favorite Barrys Studio. Amazing aesthetics, very clean and the staff are fun for days!

Fantastic experience: Barry's Bootcamp in Soho is truly exceptional! The high-energy workouts, led by motivating trainers, push you to your limits and make every sweat session enjoyable. The studio's vibrant atmosphere and top-notch facilities create a fantastic environment to challenge yourself and achieve your fitness goals. The variety of classes keeps things exciting, and the sense of community among fellow participants is inspiring. If you're looking for an invigorating workout experience that leaves you feeling accomplished, Barry's Bootcamp in Soho is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place. I wanted to write a review to give a special shout out and acknowledgement to the fantastic staff at the SOHO branch of Barrys, particularly Victor & Brad. I've had classes with 9 different instructors & though they all have a great energy & passion for what they do, Victor is now my regular go to class! He has such an incredible energy and knowledge about what he does, explaining what muscles we're working on, why certain exercises are good for certain things, correcting form to get the best benifit from each exercise and encouraging every step of the way. I'm fairly new to Barrys, considering how long others have been going and wasn't a regular gym goer so when I started a 6 on the treads was fast for me! Victors classes really push you but in the best way & now I'm hooked and today I ran at 10.5...which was also thanks to the absolutely lovely Brad on Reception! who is always so friendly and has such a warm welcoming demeanor that I now enjoy a little chat with him on my way into class, he challenged me today to go to 10.5 after me telling him I'd just started venturing to a 9...I love a challenge so I went for it! Victor was as amazed & delighted as I was, being the woman who used to be keeled over after running at a 6! Thank you so much Victor & Brad & all the team for all you do. Barrys has helped me more than I can say on what has been a tough year. Very grateful for your classes & wonderful staff. Much love!

Fantastic experience: Been really enjoying my time here since I started.Amazing team and wicked classes.. Special shout out to Kofi’s classes on Tuesdays/Thursdays in Soho…he really brings positive energy in the room. His classes are fun but very hard work and mix of HIT and weights really targets the areas I want bum and abs… Thank you for great experience

Fantastic experience: Great studio and coach

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout, great fun— just the right level of challenging and cues to help my form. Will be back! :)

Fantastic experience: I took Craig’s class, one of the bests I’ve taken across several studios. (Miami, SF, other London locations). Engages each class member by name, clearly shows the exercises more than once, brings personality and energy to the room. I left with a smile and tired body ready to take on the day. This studio is in soho in an alley, they leave signs out which help you find it if google is acting up. Pretty easy to use public to get there. Take advantage of their showers and nice locker rooms before or after work, makes the drop in a little more cost justifiable

Fantastic experience: Energetic, crazy, uplifting - a full body (upper focus) workout at Barry's SOHO fuses spirit and body like no other, a perfect mix of pace, music and soul!

Fantastic experience: Good studio overall, clean and quite large as it is the only one to have 2 rooms, the RED room and the LIFT room. If you're a regular Barry's, try the LIFT room in your rotation and I'm sure you'll become a fan. If you're a first timer, Barry's is a must try! Keep it up Barry's Fam!

Fantastic experience: Loved going to Barry's! Went there during my lunch break and now I'm struggling to finish the work day but so worth it. Jake was great.

Fantastic experience: Honey & Vitor are the best

Fantastic experience: Second Barry’s studio that I tried: same addictive playlists that leave you wanting to do more sessions just to train on those rythmes, and stunning changing rooms with great products! I went to Barry’s on my own with some classes I bought through the app ClassPass and I definitely recommend it. (The app gives also credits free of charge that can be used for Barry’s too)

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed it! Great classes and great facilities!

Fantastic experience: Vitor is an amazing instructor!!

Fantastic experience: One of my favourite Barry’s studio in London, it is the only one (I believe) that has a ‘lift’ class. So there’s a lot more time slots available to suit different needs. They even occasionally have skin care products and other samples for their customers. Great dealers and excellent trainers, as you’d expect from the worlds best gym.

Negative experience: We have decided to try out Barrys with my friend for the first time, we left with such a bad impression on the place. It wasn’t our first time taking a class of that nature to say we are newbies and couldn’t follow, all the time through out the session the thought of walking out of that room would not leave me but I stayed hoping it would get better. We were given the two places near by the entrance (door), no mirror space to review our technics and people would go in and out during the workout which was so disturbing. The training session was split into two parts, first we did running and then all the weight exercises, the coach leading the session run into the building almost late for his training session and by that point that said it all. The class was poorly led, very hard to follow the coach, we could not understand what he was saying and we couldn’t see him when he was showing the exercises. You should really consider allowing a bit more space for a better exercise experience instead of trying to fit as many people as you can in that room. Very disappointed as it all looked so promising. The only positive thing I can add that the shakes you have there to purchase after session are delicious, thanks for that.

Fantastic experience: Amazing class. Danielle L. is extremely knowledgeable and makes sure each person is using proper form for the movements. The music was turned down lower when she was giving instructions which made it easier to follow directions. Loved that so much. Danielle is extremely approachable and made the class even more special for me as a woman of colour (WOC) since she is also WOC. I felt comfortable and not out of place. Enjoyed the class immensely. Manager and smoothie bar staff extremely nice and friendly. Will come again.

Positive experience: Nice club but a female cleaner wandered into the gents" changing rooms twice without real warning while I was there!

Negative experience: Bad experience with this place, overmonetized place wirh over bookings being done so that the class is always fully booked. I booked a class for 8am, showed up at 8:02am and was asked to leave again. Never again!

Fantastic experience: Great HIIT studio, friendly and motivating trainers and atmosphere. And then you can treat yourself to dinner/drinks with so many lovely choices around.

Fantastic experience: Love Barry’s, been going for years. The endorphin / serotonin release after a session is like no other. The trainers at Barry’s and the way the red room is laid out is what makes it such a great class i think. Have been to a fee other studios that do similar style of class, but just doesn’t hit the same

Fantastic experience: Tried lift class for the first time here - very good and fun experience. Compares to other Barry’s locations, very spacious, modern and convenient. But why only small lockers?

Positive experience: I have mixed feelings about this studio. On the one hand- the best equipped one in London, the fullest schedule, the LIFT classes and the friendly front desk. On the other hand, there is a male member of cleaning staff who in my opinion could really benefit from a conversation around expectations. Several times now he has come into the changing room about 10-15 mins after class finish (ie there are still people taking their time, maybe shaving or anything that takes a bit longer) and started shouting. It is not clear what he wants, or whether this is from malice, disability or a desire to get people moving faster. I hope I am not being unfair to the disabled but the other two motivations would, in my opinion, be unacceptable. On Xmas Eve I was still in one of the shower cubicles when this gentleman (I recognise his voice by now) came in and started shouting. Without a line of sight it actually sounded like someone was being assaulted. A handful of days later, there was a tech malfunction that in my opinion should have been handled much better. The sound system in the red room wasn’t working (it happens), but rather than cancel the class after everyone had already waited 15 minutes, I would have offered to teach a class without music and/or a LIFT class instead.

Fantastic experience: Dropped on for a class while visiting london. The staff was ver nice and helpful and the workout was challenging and fun as always.

Positive experience: Love Barry’s

Fantastic experience: When traveling to London I love to take up Barry’s classes instead of going to equinox.. Love this studio it’s huge, spacious compare to the Barry’s here in Miami. I want to thank Emma you’re amazing love your positive attitude and appreciate you for being so attentive :)

Fantastic experience: Brand new Barry's. Definitely the nicest Barry's in London.

Fantastic experience: The best 60 minute workout I’ve ever done. Great combination of cardio (running) and functional strength training in their red room workouts, designed to push you to put in your max effort. Keen to try their lift workouts soon!

Fantastic experience: Great experience and workout! Many showers, towels provided, great attitude. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Excellent classes, and really friendly staff
