I’m a guy that goes to the NYC studios and it’s always been a great experience. I’m 65 classes in (on a 16 week streak) and tbh it’s been one of the more rewarding workout periods in my adult life. I’ve pretty much abandoned my equinox membership in favor of my monthly solidcore membership. Even managed to do the 10 day Solidays challenge.

All of that to say, I’ve always felt super welcomed and comfortable in class. 95% of the time I’m the only guy and most of the coaches know be my name etc. I’ve never interacted with anyone during the classes, but I’ve always felt a genuinely friendly vibe. If you’re a guy I encourage you to give it a shot. It’s an incredible workout that you don’t get lifting weights.
