In a word, Barry’s is K.I.L.L.E.R. Killer as in the most insane ass-kicking workout you can do, in any city you might find yourself in (they have locations all over the planet now). Working from the second you step inside the Red Room to the second you leave, the session is different every time with a focus on a different body area each day of the week. However what remains the same is the treadmill to weights format and the fact that whether it’s your first time or your a Barry’s seasoned pro, you will leave on a naturally occurring endorphin high - not to mention a stiff and sore body (in all the good ways though of course). Try out the WoHo location, it’s the OG of all Barry’s and the L.A vibes are, well , let’s just say V L.A.

Through immense research, self-testing, and refinement of her method over the past 20 years, Anderson is all about changing things up, never letting working out get repetitive or boring and her classes are held in specific temperatures (86 degrees with 69 percent humidity) over a duration of 50 minutes. Combining strength training and cardio, via an ever-changing series of dance moves, the results are undeniable no matter your genetic dispositions.
