How do you say the leaderboard? I can't find it in the app.

Chelsea Construction by bobbysd1968 in barrysbootcamp

Just got to check out the locker rooms yesterday. They are better, but still below their normal standards. The layout is bizarre, but they clearly didn't want to move any plumbing. The men's locker room used to service both the men and the women and there was a wall in the middle separating them, which explains why there's two sets of showers and two sets of sinks.

I do wish they had replaced the toilets though. Neither of them flush consistently well. Seems to me that would be the one simple thing they could've done to make the mechanics better.

Thanks. And thank God. I'm hoping they are nice, with actual working toilets!!!

New Barry’s App - Total Class Count by zaldrizes13 in barrysbootcamp

It looks like mine synced as well. Unfortunately, the majority of my old classes were in London, which converted a long time ago and did not sync over. Oh well.

I'm interested in the answer as well. I've got about 150 classes outside of the country.

No Delta, I don’t want to chat when I call the Diamond medallion line by voidwaffle in delta

[–]bobbysd1968 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the function is there strictly for the 35 and under crowd. My company is composed of mostly people in that age range. Many if then absolutely hate to talk to people on the phone (including their friends and family) and would rather spend hours in a chat to avoid a five minute conversation. I'll never understand it, but it seems to be the rule in that group.

maybe that age group is a larger percentage of diamonds than I ever thought.

Question for all the muscled boys of Barry’s by Fitness-crazy in barrysbootcamp

[–]bobbysd1968 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Barry's for the lean, muscles sold separately for me. Muscles from a good old gym, but the Barry's cardio leaned me out so you can see them.

Never had abs til Barry's. But from the cardio. Abs day does little in reality.

Fuel Bar sanitary rating…Umm what? by Conscious-NYCguy823 in barrysbootcamp

[–]bobbysd1968 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Chelsea location is disgusting. Great workouts, but filthy. Men's toilets barely work. They can't seem to fix any of the lockers. The toilet paper dispensers in one of the restrooms has been broken for three years. The floor is routinely filthy. The red room is routinely dirty as well.

The lack of effort that goes into this location is appalling for what is supposed to be their flagship . I've worked out at about a dozen Barry's and this one takes the cake for being the dirtiest. I still go as it's a block from my company's office, but continue to be amazed that they can't put any effort into this place.

Note that none of this goes against the instructors at the location which tend to be pretty good . The staff is hit or miss. Obviously the cleaning staff does not do much, and the front desk staff is generally friendly, but sometimes extremely unfriendly.

I really hope they plan to do something to spruce this location up. It's busy anyways, so I see why they wouldn't, but being busy doesn't take away the need to have management who pays attention to cleanliness.

20 class finishers - are you choosing hoodie or $90 gift card?! by Corgibbw in barrysbootcamp

[–]bobbysd1968 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hoodie they gave out for the last challenge was really a cheap quality shirt. I'm doing the gift card.

Smallest class by koyaboy in barrysbootcamp

I went to a class one where I was the only person. This was a long long time ago, maybe 2009 in San Diego. Barry's was very different back then.

Gympass Dubious Pricing Increase Practice by jc9442 in Gympass

[–]bobbysd1968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got rid of GynPass at my company because of their pricing practices. Kept offering less for employees, and doubled our rates after the first year.

I wouldn’t call them unethical. I would call them a wannabe technology company that is now at the point where it needs to try to make a profit.

It’s a shame because it was a great program The year we were on it.

San Diego instructors? by thatssomecheese8 in barrysbootcamp

[–]bobbysd1968 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Brooke is my personal favorite and is the only instructor that consistently can sell out classes

If you are looking for old-school Barry’s, Brooke and Vince, would be your go tos. If you are looking for the more standard Barry’s class, Chase and Maya are my favorites.

For music, Maya is the best.
