Barry’s Bootcamp Tribeca: A first workout report
1 / 11
Barry's Bootcamp opened its second Manhattan location earlier this month in Tribeca.We caught up with Joey Gonzalez, Barry's COO and star trainer, for a workout and tour of his tricked-out new space.
The airy, light-flooded studio on Sixth Avenue and York Street has a wall of windows fronting onto Sixth Avenue. Regulars at the studio's Chelsea location will notice some serious upgrades, namely a spacious reception area and Fuel Bar, and larger locker rooms with monster-big lockers.
As for Barry's next move, Gonzalez says he's already scouting locations on the Upper East Side. Take our tour of the Tribeca studio—and here's a head's up: You can join us for an exclusive Well+Good Reader Event at Barry's Tribeca on November 8. Tickets go on sale next week!
We love the fresh flowers at the sleek check-in desk and how light pours into the space.
"Welcome to class."
The studio holds 40 people—so the same number as Chelsea—but it feels more spacious. That's because the ceilings are much higher here. And Barry's takes advantage of the exposed steel beams by slinging resistance bands over them, so they can be used in class.
The men's locker locker room.
The women's locker room. Notice the black, glossy double-height lockers.
The women's locker room features this extra-long vanity, and the brand's signature camouflage Bisazza tiles.
The Fuel Bar will whip up a "Not Your Average Joe" or a "PB & J" while you're in class so you can grab it and dash.
There's room for a whole lotta retail in the new location. Barry's Bootcamp has partnered with Splits 59 for branded apparel.

too bad the shower situation is the worst I’ve experienced in the city….
It is a pleasure to welcome Barry’s Bootcamp to the neighborhood.
The space is beyond beautiful! Everything is designed to perfection.
After an amazing workout I love to shower and get ready in their spa like lockers rooms.
Thank you Well and Good for the slide show.
However, the studio is even more amazing in person. I have been taking class everyday before work, great way to start the day!
The workout, studio and locker rooms are the best in the city.
I love getting ready for work in the luxuries locker rooms. I am especially impressed by the abundance of all the Malin+Goetz.
We at Concreteworks East were very happy to work with Joey on providing the concrete countertops throughout the space for both this location, and the downtown location of Barry’s Bootcamp! The concrete counters in the reception, juice bar, and locker rooms look phenomenal with the rest of the design! :)
