Barry’s Bootcamp (NoHo)
Fifteen minutes can either be incredibly fast or painfully slow at Barry’s Bootcamp – the choice is yours. Since 1998, Barry’s has been “shocking” bodies into improving the cardiovascular system, losing weight and building muscle. Every day of the week is dedicated to a different area of the body and every trainer creates his or her own individual routine, making each class different and always challenging. Even if you’re not a runner, you can take it at your own pace and hop on the treadmill for fifteen minute intervals, take it to the floor for fifteen minutes of weights, use resistance bands, and more, and then repeat.

The Monster Cycle (SoHo)
Theme-based rides with big screens, black lights, and music videos to get your heart racing make The Monster Cycle much more than spinning. Start and end class with a chorus of “hell yeahs” and go through the next 45 minutes trying to conquer that hill while being distracted by the likes of Nicki Minaj, Diplo, Taylor Swift, Knaye West, and more. With a new set of rides every week, it’s impossible to get bored and the class will be over faster than you want it to be.
