Barry's Yorkville

Fantastic experience: This place is great! Pushed myself so hard and I'm sore but I already can't wait to go back

Fantastic experience: Sarah was friendly and compassionate throughout the class, and she was attentive to her new classmates. Her class was so intense and energetic that I would love to repeat it many times!!

Fantastic experience: First off, the trainers and coaches at Barry’s Yorkville are phenomenal—always delivering amazing workouts that keep me coming back. Special shout out to Nikki (asst. GM) for her help in rectifying an issue, she was amazing!

Fantastic experience: Michelle’s class is the best! High energy and great playlist!

Fantastic experience: Great experience, uniquely kicked my ass!

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting Barry's Yorkville just for a smoothie and I can’t say enough great things about my experience! From the moment I stepped in I was greeted by Andrew who exudes an incredibly warm & welcoming aura! A truly caring & empathic individual who I would return on solely from our interaction. The smoothies are delicious, I highly recommend stopping in, I will be back in the future for sure! Thank you Andrew for such an amazing experience!

Fantastic experience: I love this workout! Hayley is a great instructor. The staff at Yorkville is fantastic too.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. I look forward to every class, no matter the instructor.

Fantastic experience: Newbie here! I just finished my first workout class here at Barry’s & omg what a blast I had! It was with my friend, Jan, who invited me as her guest. Our instructor was Haley S. and she was great! Haley was so very friendly and most importantly, she was extremely encouraging. I kept up the entire class without stopping or slacking once :P! Thanks for all that encouragement Haley & see you again soon!

Negative experience: Horrible front desk. Not welcoming or engaging. Also the members of this gym are not friendly at all.

Fantastic experience: Wow, just - WOW. First Barry's class and won't be my last!!!!!!! Brendan is a master motivator and everything from the music (OMG the music - you got to love Fred again..) to the workout itself was first class all around. That was ELECTRIC and kudos for bringing that level of encouragement and energy to a group fitness class. Unlocked some untapped potential in myself and for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you loving kindly!! Sincerely, your resident Othership friend and Fred Head :)

Fantastic experience: This was my first time at Barry's. Sam (our instructor) was very engaging and welcoming. I highly recommend his class and will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: Already posted this workout on Strava giving a shout out to Sam for running such a sick class! Really pushed me! Loved it!

Fantastic experience: We loved our first class, and our trainer Kevin was awesome!! We will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: One of my very first classes with Barry’s in Toronto took one in Miami. Sam owned his space and took his team to another level! From the music, his energy and clear and conscience delivery of tread and floor work. Fantastic job in class today Sam

Fantastic experience: Kevin was awesome! Super encouraging and engaging. It was my first class, and I would definitely go back again. Thank you Kevin!!!

Fantastic experience: Barry's is the best workout in Toronto! :)

Positive experience: Took my very first Barry’s class here in Toronto. Both the facility, red room and even the women’s locker room were clean. I did enjoy the class, will come back for the great workout; however, I must say the front desk staff was not the most warmest, welcoming nor approachable. Mind you, I had a 8am class… so not too early. It’s sort of a disappointment that this was my first impression. It made me feel as if I did not belong especially since the staff including the instructors were very much focused on chatting with the regulars. Catching up is fine, but again, intimidating at first if you aren’t from the area never mind if you are a first timer!

Fantastic experience: I attended my first Barry’s Bootcamp at the Yorkville location. Coach Kevin was my instructor and he was so welcoming, friendly, and motivating. I ended up signing up for another class during my stay in Toronto because I found the atmosphere and workout amazing. I highly recommend this location. Thank you for the great workout.

Fantastic experience: An innovative and fun workout, can be intimidating the first few times.. but I find myself wanting to go back and myself having FUN. I HATE running but it goes by quickly and love the vibes so if I can do it you can❣️ Hopefully you will continue to come out with unique class pack options especially for those who may be in Toronto for work/leisure and not full time.

Fantastic experience: 5-stars for my Barry’s Fuel Bar experience. Some people go to Barry’s to workout, I go to get their smoothies. I even got a free one because they just happened to have made an extra one. Freebies are truly the key to my heart ❤️ I’ll be back for the smoothies…might even try a workout class next time!

Fantastic experience: Sam is highly knowledgeable, enthusiastic instructor. We know each other from a previous gym. I enjoyed Barry’s Red Room. Quick-paced and motivated class. Thanks, Sam The gym is super clean with loads of amenities. Staff were all friendly and approachable. The Barry’s note for 1st time was

Fantastic experience: Excellent location with great coaches, members and activities.

Negative experience: Went in for a shake and the girl sighed and rolled her eyes.. I did not appreciate the reaction. Shake was mid at best. Half blended the other half wasn’t

Fantastic experience: I live in New York and have been to a bunch of Barrys around the world but this is one of my favorites. Locker room and studio are clean, workout room is large and music is blasting. The playlists veer more techno/house than hip hop / pop which I really appreciate. And you can tell the teachers try to do their best to remember your name.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and Kevin's classes especially! challenging workout, while being fun, clean and comfortable facilities.

Fantastic experience: I have a phobia of running in general and I was scared when I signed up for a class that someone has asked me to try out. The staff at the front desk was super helpful with allaying my fear, with special thank you to Sophie (hope I spelt her name correctly). I did my first class with Sara and she not only gave myself and other newbies a tour of the red room, she also ran an intense class that was easy to follow along. I also got a welcome card at my station for being a first timer, which I loved. I was given a safe space to face my fear during the treadmill portions of the workout and was around a bunch of fellow motivated individuals who were all looking to be better. Frankly, the space was so welcoming that I’ve gone again and would go again in the future. So far I’ve tried classes with Sara and Samuel, and I cannot wait to try more classes and hopefully overcome my fear of running.

Negative experience: The music was way too loud and the lights didn’t suit the entire workout. Overall an awful experience.

Fantastic experience: Coach Sarah's workouts are amazing! Her energy, music taste, and exercises are all top-notch. Her class is my favorite and always leaves me feeling motivated and empowered. Highly recommend! Thx Barry’s

Fantastic experience: Just commenting on the fuel bar: love the Barry’s Brunch smoothie. Amazing service and super understanding staff

Fantastic experience: I love Barry's so much! Each instructor is so different, but each class is equally difficult! It's the only group workout that really pushes me to my limits, and they are so kind and inviting as well!

Fantastic experience: My friend invited me here and now I am continuing my journey. This was a challenge at first but if you focus your energy and attention to the coach and surrounding, you’d catch up pretty fast. For the price, yes it is pricy but I have problems on spending on unnecessary stuff especially binge eating, I’d definitely rather spend $37/$41 a lesson to be healthier.

Fantastic experience: The place is da BOMB!

Fantastic experience: I've been attending bootcamp classes at Barry's for several years, and there's nothing like it. More than just a workout, Barry's is community: from the trainers, to the clients, to the staff, everyone is there to support pushing you further, go harder, and be better than you were yesterday. Thanks Barry's!

Fantastic experience: Barry’s a great workout and community where you’ll leave better than when you entered! Whether you opt for the treadmill and floor combo or a double-floor workout- the instructors, program and community deliver a unique workout experience that's challenging and fun.

Fantastic experience: Barry's workout was an absolute game-changer for me! i I highly recommend giving it a try – you won't be disappointed! Wally

Fantastic experience: Amazing energy, space, people and vibes with an encouraging instructor that motivates.

Fantastic experience: The focus is on the workouts, not lounges and decor. It’s clean and efficient. Great instructors and nice front desk staff. There’s a smoothie bar where you can pre-order through their app.

Fantastic experience: Great place Trainers are very friendly and motivational Worth the drive from the west end

Fantastic experience: We love Barry's class. It pumps you up, and it's a great way to work out. Classes are not the cheapest, but they're at a great location.

Fantastic experience: A really great workout to get shredded fast

Negative experience: Been both to the Yorkville and Richmond location! I've been spending more time in the Yorkville location due to proximity. Facilities are clean, but very small. The clientele that attends this location does not feel very welcoming, when asked a simple question to another attendee they rudely reply to go to the front desk. The front desk is unapproachable. Got locked out of my locker and no one was at the desk, I had to walk to the back to speak to the kind caretaker who was on her break. I accidentally booked double floor not knowing what it was, when I asked the front desk they did not answer the question but redirected to the trainer who would explain. The trainers are great and do push you to your limit, it's a shame the customer service aspect could not care less about your experience. I still enjoy Barry's but will be attending the Richmond location for the future.

Fantastic experience: I always have a great experience at Barry's, one could say I'm addicted! Trainers like Brendan/Jela/Chris/Zamour (and many more I'm sure that I just haven't tried yet) are super motivational and always make sure you come out feeling accomplished and that you've completely challenged yourself for the day. Facilities are always super clean compared to some other studios in the city, and the eucalyptus towels are a nice plus after a sweaty workout. It can be a bit intimidating at first as it seems like all the girls have abs and the men with their long legs are sprinting on 15, but for me that's really motivating as it shows you where you can be in the future if you put the hours in and continually challenge yourself every time you go in. There are always ways to bring the price down by buying a membership or swapping guest passes with friends. I don't see myself stopping Barry's anytime soon!

Negative experience: So, I thought I'd give Barry's - Yorkville a shot with a friend using her guest pass, hoping to dip my toes in something new. But man, it was a bit of a letdown - to the point where I needed to share my experience. First off, the classes were like speed dating for exercises. Blink, and you've moved on to the next one. I’ve been going to the gym for as long as I can remember. I play OUA-level football, and have played competitive volleyball for 10+ years. What I’m trying to get at is, fitness is not new to me. But a first-timer in classes like this trying to get the hang of things, it felt like I barely had time to figure out if I was doing the right move before someone was hollering for the next one. I like being pushed to work harder, but this was not in the expressively motivating way. And the staff? Not exactly winning any awards for friendliness. I was hoping for some guidance or at least a nod in the right direction as a guest, but it was crickets. It's like they've got a "not my job" mindset, and I was quite disappointed about it. To top it off, there's this weird vibe, like you're only part of the cool kids club if you're ripped or rocking Lululemon gear. If you're not ticking those boxes, good luck getting the same treatment. It's a bit much, honestly. As a guest trying to test the waters, I left feeling a bit meh. The rushed classes and the staff not being on the same page made me wonder if this was the place for me. I'm on the lookout for a spot that's a bit more laid-back and doesn't make you feel like you need a VIP pass to fit in.

Negative experience: scam

Negative experience: Overpriced for what it’s worth and the staff aren’t friendly. Maybe it’s just this location but I’d recommend to go elsewhere for better service. Absolutely horrific experience. Shame on the staff.

Negative experience: Barry’s is a complete scam. They treat their customers like bank accounts and nothing more.

Negative experience: $37 a session is crazy. the class was definitely not worth it

Negative experience: Little innovation in exercises and some of the trainers are clearly not engaged. Why am I paying a premium for this type of service? Save your time and make a better use of your money and go to OrangeTheory instead.

Negative experience: Not worth it at all. The classes go by WAY too fast. You are barely working out because you have no time to focus on doing the right exercise before being yelled at to switch to the next one.

Negative experience: Super overpriced even for Toronto, $37 a session in this economy?

Negative experience: It was my first session, and I arrived 15 minutes early as instructed. But the trainer did not walk me through any of the equipment or the structure of the session. I was confused half the time, not worth your money.

Negative experience: Went there for my first time as a guest and regrettably didn’t have the greatest experience. First, the address says Bloor Street so I’m walking along Bloor to find this place. They should change the address to Critchley Lane as their doors are there and not on Bloor which makes it very misleading. Especially for someone who went there the first time. When I walked in, there were three ladies at the juice/smoothie bar and looked at me without any greeting or looked approachable. Didn’t help me where I was supposed to go or give me any directions. When I found my way, the reception desk is all the way in the back and as someone coming in for the first time, it lacked organizational space pushing through crowds of people waiting. The lack of directions to changerooms was abysmal as well – didn’t feel like I was being helped at all and was still lost. Going to the class, the trainer was very upbeat and had great energy, as a first timer, he was able to help me with what instructions were needed to be done for the treadmill. But I think the classes are very overpriced for an hour – with other suitable options from other gyms/memberships. Honestly, the welcoming was not the greatest, not friendly, the front desk staff felt like they didn’t care and disengaged and I wouldn’t come back to this place from this experience. The customer satisfaction was not met at all.

Negative experience: Regrettably, my time at this gym didn't meet expectations. The staff lacked professionalism and seemed disinterested, while the trainers appeared detached and unengaged during sessions. Customer service was lacking in warmth and consideration. There's a clear need for improved staff professionalism and better customer care to elevate the overall experience.

Negative experience: Not worth the expensive price you have to pay. For a first timer, there is not enough explanation and introduction to how the class works, making the entire experience confusing and overwhelming. Would not recommend.

Negative experience: The workouts lack any real innovation, and some trainers couldn't be less engaged if they tried. Seriously, why pay a premium for this? Save yourself the frustration, ditch this place, and go elsewhere

Negative experience: Super unprofessional staff, poor communication and does little to help when you run into issues/have questions

Negative experience: After purchasing a Toronto First Timer 3 Pack, I attended my first class with a friend who was registered as my guest. The class itself went well – I thought the session was overpriced for what you’re getting (especially with more affordable and better options in Toronto) – but I liked the trainer’s energy and even attended a second class. However, when I tried to book a third session, I was told I ran out of classes because bringing my guest “counted as a session”. I emailed and called multiple times to understand this situation, and no one provided a reasonable explanation/solution. I felt scammed and misled for the following reasons: 1. There is no guest policy on Barry’s website that says anything about bringing a guest and having it count as a session 2. When I booked my first class through the app, there was no message beside “bring a guest” that said it would count as a session 3. I have never been charged at another gym or studio for bringing a guest – this is not common practice I would have been more than happy to pay for additional sessions because I actually enjoyed them, but after this incident and having none of the employees I spoke with take action to try to rectify the situation, I would not recommend Barry’s Yorkville to anyone.

Fantastic experience: A great sweat!

Fantastic experience: Very sweet and accommodating facility!!! I love this place. Been to over 300 classes. The trainers are always so positive and knowledgeable. Front desk is very responsive and accommodating to class switches which is super helpful given the fact that we live in a city where there is construction on every block lol. I adore everyone that works here and I’m so thankful to have found this place! Truly changed my life in the city for the better. I leave happy and refreshed after each class.

Negative experience: The front desk was so rude and unpleasant - ruined the entire class environment - it was my first time attending it and it was such a terrible experience!

Fantastic experience: Love the structured and varied floor exercises with a step and the cleanliness.

Fantastic experience: This is what you need in life.

Fantastic experience: An amazing experience! I’m absolutely obsessed. I was really nervous to take my first class, but Sara Pro took me right under her wing to show me the ropes & make me feel accepted & motivated! Barry’s, you’ll be seeing more of me!

Fantastic experience: Barry's Bootcamp offers the ultimate workout experience, combining treadmill and weight training. From the energetic music to the exceptional instructors, every aspect is carefully designed to create a dynamic and fulfilling workout session. The staff at Barry's Bootcamp is consistently friendly and welcoming, ensuring a positive atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Additionally, the facility is well-equipped with a range of amenities, including shampoos, conditioners, body creams, anti-perspirants, tampons, and mouthwash, providing everything you need for a convenient and refreshing post-workout routine. One standout feature at Barry's Bootcamp is their delicious smoothies, which are a personal favorite of mine.

Fantastic experience: I don't want to love Barry's but I do. Been coming here since 2019. 50 minutes goes by quickly and I feel great after. The workouts always feels different and the app is great. My fav instructors are: Kevin, Andrew, Brendan, Cameron & Karina. Love their energy! I appreciate the option to do "double floors" because sometimes I just don't want to run.

Fantastic experience: Best

Fantastic experience: First time and diffentanly won't be the last. Great customer service and the smoothies. I enjoyed a peanut butter/strawberries protein drink. Competavily priced. Best smoothie

Fantastic experience: Great workout definitely tough for beginners but totally worth it. Really supportive staff and a welcoming environment.

Negative experience: The customer service at this place was abysmal. The staff member I interacted with was completely unhelpful and uninterested in providing me with any useful information. She refused to let me take a look around the area, making me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I would strongly advise against visiting this place.

Fantastic experience: The location is smallest that Richmond which makes it more personalized in my opinion. Great coaches and modern facilities.

Fantastic experience: Barrys Bootcamp is by far the most amazing and rewarding workout I’ve ever done. It is indeed expensive but completely worth it. This Yorkville facility boasts top tier amenities and bathroom products. There are also hygiene products available to use. The front desk staff at the Yorkville Barry’s are all super awesome. They’re always willing to help out and answer questions. As a regular, the front desk staff have started to get to know my name whenever I check in, which is always welcoming. All this contributes to how amazing this Barry’s is but the main reason is of course their instructors and their workouts. The workout is by far the most challenging workout I’ve ever done but also incredibly rewarding. Over the 7 months I’ve been going to Barry’s Yorkville, I went from taking 1 class a week, to now going to Barry’s as my primary regular workout 4 times a week. I’ve had the pleasure and “torture” of experiencing 5 different instructors. Majority of my classes I’ve taken are taught by Kevin Y. He really gets to know you, challenge you, encourages you and push you to new limits. I’ve also started taking more classes led by Brendan, Andra and Karina and they are all remarkable. After the class, Barry’s provides a tray of cold wet towels that is so refreshing when you’ve completed the class and need a cool down. The Barry’s workout is the gold standard of high intensity workouts and this Barry’s Yorkville is such a welcoming place. It’s well worth the investment.

Fantastic experience: Like the gym, allows you to choose your level of future sore&tired, while also kicking your butt

Fantastic experience: Love this place Hard class /not beginner friendly One of favorite classes in Toronto Cam/sam/Haley has the best class in the game aswell great class 10/10

Positive experience: Actually amazing high intensity training class. The cost is a little unsustainable at $42 tax-in per class. Smoothie bar downstairs is great- even if you didn’t work out.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, trainers, amenities! Best HIIT workout in the city

Positive experience: Love it here! The change rooms are too small though!

Positive experience: Great place to get a sweat on. Amazing instructors. A bit expensive.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Amazing workout spot.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Barry's since 2021 Summer. I enjoy the Yorkville location because of instructor, Kevin! He remembers your name and encourages you to work harder each time he sees you. He typically teaches at 5:30PM or 6:30, which is perfect for the 9-5 crowd. Also the Fuel Bar (smoothie bar) its worth every penny because they make it taste great and you definitely want a smoothie after doing such an intense workout. I have a lot to thank because I wouldn't be in shape I am without Barry's!

Fantastic experience: Andrew's class is brilliant. Great showers too.

Fantastic experience: The best work out

Fantastic experience: Clean space and challenging classes.

Fantastic experience: It is what it says It is. Great facilities and location.

Fantastic experience: The best workout in the world! Group classes here are fun and motivating, with great instructors who push you to your limits to really improve long term. Classes are intense but very fun, especially with friends. Amenities are nice, with clean towels and change rooms. The fuel bar downstairs also has some good post workout smoothies. Awesome experience overall

Fantastic experience: Fun workouts and awesome trainers!

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: PB&J is the best smoothie!

Fantastic experience: I love Kevin’s classes !

Fantastic experience: This class is IN-TENSE!!!! Lol I decided to try Barry's when I started getting bored of my condo gym workouts. I wanted to mix things up by training in a group setting. The trainers here are great, very motivating and the music pumps me up also. I'm not much of a runner so this was definitely a challenge for me with the sprinting. I would recommend this class if you are looking for that extra push/get over a plateau. I really felt that runners high after doing it

Fantastic experience: I just had my first workout there and I can't wait to go again! Everyone is so friendly it feels like I'm part of a community ☺️

Fantastic experience: Really loved the vibe of this Barry’s. Unlike SF or LA, the classes aren’t crowded at all. Andrew B is the best Barry’s instructor I’ve had so far — he remembered people’s names and encouraged them through the class in order to help them reach their potential, and his instructions through the class were very clear

Fantastic experience: Exhausting and worth it

Fantastic experience: Great and efficient classes

Fantastic experience: Staff are always friendly and the trainers definitely work their hardest to motivate you!

Fantastic experience: Take Andrea's classes. Trust me

Fantastic experience: Hayley is the best!

Fantastic experience: Brendan, Hailey and Kevin are absolute ALL STARS. Recommend anyone to get a membership, totally worth the investment!

Fantastic experience: Lots of stairs to get to the top but the location is very nice. The change rooms are stocked with everything you need. There are small & large towels available, you honestly just need to bring yourself. The staff are friendly & helpful can't wait for the next class!

Positive experience: Love the classes abs instructors
