I am an avid follower of rate your burn. I love taking RYB breaks at work to read reviews and plan my workouts around them. For the past 6 weeks i have been taking bootcamp classes religiously....

For those of you that fear going to Barry's due to the treadmill fear factor, this would have been the class for you to face your fear head on. I've been going to Barry's for a long time now. I...

Sincerely,

The one who's currently googling to find every jam that matched or exceeded the previous songs new standard requirement of satisfaction... and the one who needs to start bringing a...

Joey Gonzalez is so handsome. I didn't know I signed up for a class with McDreamy of the fitness world. Yes, I stalked him online but sometimes people look a little different in person. Not this...

Its amazing... you are doing a Hard CORE workout, yet Joey's voice is so soothing and calm, you really don't feel the pain!!

If you're looking to take your first Barry's Bootcamp, no better way than to start with one of the owners. Barry's Bootcamp is by no means for the weak but it is a game changer if you are looking...

I live in Philly but travel to NYC every month or two, and I always try to find time for one of Joey's classes at Barry's Bootcamp.  He's an amazing trainer, and knows how to give you a kick-ass...

This was my first class with Joey and he did not disappoint.  He is very motivating and pushes you to work hard.  I like that he suggested a challenging speed on the treadmill as a start point --...

Simply put: Joey has got it all. He has the confidence to lead an amazing class, he has the charm to make you want to earn his respect, and he has the passion to make you work your hardest. He is a...

I've been going to Barry's 3-5 times a week for about a year and Joey is one of the best.
1) Intensity: Joey's classes are hard.  But just when you think you can't run another minute or do...

I am a regular at Barry's and typically go 2-3 times a week (mix it up with spin and with pilates).  Joey sub'd twice for my regular class this week.  Where do I start....I never thought I would...

This was my first time taking a Full Body Friday class, and my first class with Joey.  Joey is really nice and approachable and definitely a tough guy in class.  His music was your standard pop, I...

If you're looking for a high energy, passionate, caring instructor, Joey's the man!  I started taking Joey's classes in West Hollywood.  Boy, I was sad to see him go, but whenever I visit New York,...

Joey Gonzalez is the perfect combination of expertise and motivation.  He has a strong command over the class, so there is never a question as to what you are suppose to be doing.  His music is fun...

Ok, RateYourBurn readers, if you haven't tried one of Joey's Bootcamp sessions, you are missing out.  He is simply the *BEST* (that's right, the *BEST*) trainer in New York City.  I've known Joey...

I remember taking classes at Barry's Bootcamp in West Hollywood with Joey when he was just an obsessed student.  I have watched firsthand as he has transformed himself into one of the best trainers...

There is no better instructor on either coast or anywhere in the middle of the country for that matter.  Joey is a genius at structuring a workout.  No one brings you up, and brings you back down,...

I'm from Pittsburgh and travel to NYC for work, I had been dying to checkout Barry's in Tribeca hearing great feedback about how it. I talked to Joey before going about my goals and was extremely...

I will never forget the first time I took Joey’s class at Barry’s Bootcamp. Not only had I never taken a group fitness class, but it had been months (years?) since I’d worked out in general. I was...

Been going to Joey's classes for years now.  He has great taste in music that's current and fun and fits exactly whatever you are doing at the time.  He gives you individual coaching, knows good...

If one had asked me 2 years ago if I would ever write an online review of a class or instructor, I would have laughed as: a) I am the most technically challenged person EVER, b) I am very private...

Joey's Barry's Bootcamp class is the most fun class in town. Not only is he an entertaining, great guy who uses great music and humor to make the class a blast, but he is also an extremely...

I'm not one to write reviews, but Joey's class is so good I felt it was necessary to share.  I've been taking his class since Barry's Tribeca opened, and even though I know it's going to be a tough...

It was so great to have Joey back this morning. Today's 7:10 class was delivered with the same enthusiasm and encouragement as when BBC first launched in NYC. The music helped give me energy that I...

Joey was completely attentive to everyone’s needs and personally instructed me with my arm bands to maximize my workout.  The music was great; I loved the pace of the class through every song and...

Before starting Barry's just a bit over a year ago, I considered myself pretty active; I ran, lifted weights, went spinning, and had been to various boot camp classes, so I didn't think this one...

Very high energy class! Good job Joey!

Agonizing in the best way....a must if you haven't already!

taught by the best instructors in the world! Barry's is designed to give your body the most cardio intensive hour..of your day. i say day because well, i do this work out almost every day. It's the...

Joey was beyond amazing and by far the best instructor I've had or Full Body to date. The workout was intense and allowed me to push myself further than I have before and it felt great. PLUS he...

I took a full body class with Joey on Saturday and I am still shuffling around like a gimp because I'm so sore. When Joey said we'd hit every major muscle group during the weights section, he...

If you're looking for someone to motivate, inspire and push you harder than you thought you could go, there's no one better than Joey. I've been taking classes with him pretty regularly for the...

I did not realize how much I need Barry's for my mental health until I had no access to it for an entire week due to Sandy (b*tch).  Barry's was my measure of whether or not I had power in my...

I had never been to Barry's Bootcamp or any group fitness class prior to attending one of Joey's classes 2 months ago. I have now been 4 times a week ever since & dramatically changed my...

Joey Gonzalez is easily one of the most talented, influential, and innovative people working in fitness today. Bold statement? Yes. But completely deserved. Afterall, every night in NYC guys and...

Fact: There's a two way tie for best instructor at Barry's Bootcamp. Fact: There may be no better class on the planet than that of Joey's. He pushes you until you just cant do any more. And then he...

I'm always up for a party-themed class. This one was superfun, prop-tastic, and full of goony moments. The best part: it's on Saturday night. What could amp you up more for a night on the town?...

Joey is definitely one of the best instructors if not the best instructor at Barry's. His high energy is contagious and his playlists get you pumped up. He dispells the myth that girls will get...

When I showed up to Joey's class, I was greeted by a full on reporting team - you know, for one of those bring-a-reporter-to-class days. It was quite entertaining and unexpected, albeit a little...
