THE WORKOUT
What is Barry’s?
The Best Workout in the World™®. Founded in West Hollywood in 1998, it’s the original strength and cardio interval fitness experience that provides a dynamic, high-intensity workout that’s as effective as it is fun. Our fitness classes alternate between working out with weights and running on a treadmill and each day focuses on different muscle groups in order to achieve real results and to help reduce the risk of injuries.
Will I be okay if I’m a beginner or not already in shape?
Don’t worry! We welcome beginners and meet a lot of them everyday! If it’s your first time, we’ll look after you in any class you choose. We don’t have a “beginner’s class.” Barry’s classes are created for you to challenge yourself — you can set your own level of speed and choose the heaviness of your weight, depending on your experience.
To make the most of your first class, we ask that you arrive 15 minutes early. Find out more about being a first timer here.
Do I have to be a good runner?
The great thing about running as a cardio exercise is that you don’t have to be “good” to start. In your first few classes, choose a pace that feels safe but challenging for you. While our instructors will be pushing you, you’ll be the one pushing the buttons on the treadmill panel. If you really don’t want to run at all, you have the option to book a Double Floor class.
How often should I go?
We recommend 4 classes per week as an optimal number, with 3 classes per week at a minimum if you’re hoping to see visible results. But, as always, listen to your body — if your muscles are very sore, give them time to recover.
How many calories can I actually burn?
First, as with most things in life, individual results may vary. Depending on your body weight and effort in the Red Room, it is possible for clients to burn from 700 to 1,000 calories per class. But it doesn’t end there. Vigorous participation can also help raise your resting metabolism rate so you can burn more calories even after you leave the Red Room. This is what we call the “after burn.” Burn, baby, burn.
Why do days of the week focus on different muscle groups?
Most days, the floor exercises are focused on a specific part of the body. There are two reasons for this:
- It’s the safest option for people who really want to get fit fast — switching muscle groups creates the biggest impact and reduces the risk of injury.
- We come in all different shapes and sizes, and all of us have something about our appearance we’d like to prioritize.
