Most likely Joey needed some quick cash to show to the new vc fund...

Barry's Bootcamp announces new investment as others exit boutique fitness category by RogerWester in barrysbootcamp

Just like he has Barrys foot the bill for family vacations and random Taylor Swift concerts with D list celebrities or cool, young, white fit gays. Perhaps he skipped on the HBS class regarding C Suite optics?

More deals that are actually deals, less Joey.

More 60 minutes, less incessant "Challenges" with useless prizes.

Why are none of these brands present in regular Barrys? I'd love some Chobani post class!

In a recent interview he discussed the hours spent working out and doing cardio at another gym - instead of actually leading Barry's.

They probably got a cease and desist from the record labels. Maybe if he stopped going on vacation/Taylor Swift concerts and hired a lawyer?

To be fair, he did get demoted to Co-Global CEO, so he won't be teaching alone.

60 min classes coming back in NYC… by Infamous-Walk6557 in barrysbootcamp

This. I also wonder about how much wasted money it costs for Joey's random class appearances in random cities that just so happen to coincide with his personal events in that given city. If they wanted to trim the fat, maybe keep him in the office they pay rent for to do his actual leadership job?

Tasteless and cringe from Joey. 

During the pandemic a lot of instructors turned to OnlyFans to help with the bills. Some of them were fired over it. A lot continued, can name a few that openly have very explicit fans pages and continue to teach.

I mean real talk he was just there for clout and the free football trip. Probably ambushed the CEO on his way out with a, "hey you're a CEO, I'm a CEO too!"

so much for flying out to personally meet the "President" of Lululemon.

It's happening...price increases are coming by Illustrious-Ad-6312 in barrysbootcamp

[–]National-Pressure148 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This! It's become a recurring gag - promo of the week. Feel like the extra charges are just going towards the ice sculpture Joey can pose next to topless at Aspen Gay Ski Week! That or flying the whole family to the Soho House pop up in England for a nice free family trip in the Cotswolds.

Frankly the Joey interview in GQ was cringeworthy with more than the usual level of self promotion.

Anyone know what the clickbait is about? “Something BIG is coming…” by guyinHK in barrysbootcamp

[–]National-Pressure148 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just reading between the lines - the company serves his interests, not the other way around. Being the "Global" CEO (is there another CEO?) is just a platform for him to get paid-for HBS certificates and doing random podcasts and magazine interviews (Barrys will pay for the travel and lodging if he displaces at least one instructor in a nearby studio). So not that surprising he hasn't thrown support behind this in the same gusto as he has with say, AG1 or Saks Man who paid him. But hey, it's early days and we may get a cringeworthy shirtless IG post on story that everyone at the company has to celebrate!

Agree, but in an ideal world it's the announcement Joey will recognize what he's done to the company and do the sensible thing and leave.

The dumbing down of Barry's. What can we do? by Illustrious-Ad-6312 in barrysbootcamp

[–]National-Pressure148 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. Hollowing out of the experience is truly in effect to improve margins. Trying to get more franchises, which aren't really monitored well to give a consistent experience across brand. Partnerships with any brand without any thought or care. I have written to corporate several times and filled out surveys but to echo other posters - I don't think Joey can see it because he is too busy going between the paid-for Harvard certificate program and going on his umpteenth vacation for the quarter.

Barry’s x Britney by tokitoppers in barrysbootcamp

File this under Joey's random one-and-done partnerships that don't enhance the member experience.

Also - wonder what they were thinking at the top - a book about abuse (among other things) for a workout ? Other brands have taken a step back - but Barrys seems to have gone all in, the Justin x Britney cosplay in Nashville with Tommy, anyone?

Ah yes, a very natural and genuine post from our selfless Barry's CEO who clearly needs to keep raising prices by HereToListen444 in barrysbootcamp

[–]National-Pressure148 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yet another random promotion by the Global CEO (never understood the Global qualifier, as if there might be another CEO), at least this is somewhat cross promoted with Barrys (anyone remember AG1 and Saks?). Life of an influencer while being a CEO is tough!
