### 1/5 — Great workouts, terrible app that Barry’s has abandoned

*2026-08-24, version 2.4.0*

The workouts themselves are good, but it’s painfully clear Barry’s doesn’t invest in this app. At this point, it feels more like a money grab than a serious fitness platform.

There’s very little new content, and the search and filtering are awful. You can’t even search by medium or heavy weights. Classes are frequently mislabeled, so a workout that says “medium weights” may require something completely different once you actually start it.

The app also crashes far too often. Worse, if it crashes during a workout, the partial class frequently doesn’t appear in your history, leaving you to somehow find the class again if you want to resume it.

Even though the app supports Apple Music, the volume doesn’t work properly with the classes, so you can’t hear anything. It works with Spotify and Barry’s lame built-in streaming service, but not Apple Music.

There’s also almost none of the motivation Barry’s builds into its studios. No meaningful milestones, rewards, or recognition for classes completed. More than a year ago, Barry’s promised Ride + Lift classes, and they still haven’t appeared.

This could have been an amazing extension of Barry’s and a genuine competitor to Peloton. Instead, it feels like they were afraid of cannibalizing their live classes and decided to let the digital product slowly die.

The workouts deserve better than this app. Until Barry’s actually invests in it, I’d recommend Peloton or another online fitness platform instead.

### 5/5 — Great workout anytime anywhere.

*2026-05-23, version 2.3.7*

I used to do Barry’s in person classes. During Covid and after kids I started working out with Barry’s in my garage. It gives me the intensity and direction I need to get a great workout with limited space, equipment, and time. I can take it with me everywhere I go. When I travel for work or fun, I can do Barry’s in the hotel gym or anywhere I bring my bands.

### 3/5 — Help, I’m stuck in BFE w/out a Barry’s

*2025-12-25, version 2.3.4*

There are some solid workouts on the APP. I typically filter through the workouts prior to decide what is best for that day and bookmark my favs. Downside: Wish they would attach some
playlist to go along with the workout we can follow along with to have music match the highs and lows of the workout. Also they need a nicer studio to record these workouts. Other than that, It’s fine. -Wayne

### 1/5 — Useless Filters and Extremely Limited Catalog

*2025-09-16, version 2.3.2*

The filters don’t work. There are a bunch of classes that require weights when applying the bodyweight only filter. There isn’t a single bodyweight arm workout in the entire catalog. The only cardio workouts are running. How on earth can they charge $40/mo for such a limited selection?

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2025-08-29, version 2.3.2*

Want a simple app to see calendar of available classes at local gym.

### 3/5 — Great Instructors But Infant Execution

*2025-07-12, version 2.3.1*

First, I love Barry’s. The workouts and instructors are challenging whether in person or on the app.  But the tech execution leaves a lot to be desired.   

You cannot effectively listen to your music while listening to the instructor (bc they don’t have music rights).  If no music rights then add visual cues at the bottom of the screen for run changes. Same goes for weight training!

The viewing screen is small horizontal vs full screen vertical or horizontal.  Without full screen how is anyone supposed to use this on their phone while in a gym. 

Steep app price for subpar tech execution.

### 3/5 — App has glitches.

*2025-07-07, version 2.3.0*

That was my first 50 min workout and the video stoped every 20 sec. for first 20mins. Very annoying.

### 5/5 — Bring Your Own Music

*2025-04-13, version 2.1.1*

World class workouts that are comparable to the in-studio intensity if you were doing double floor.  Tommy is one of the best but all of the instructors bring it.  I do not typically drip with sweat doing other weight classes using other platforms.  I like the interface with my music playlists.

### 5/5 — The update last week👎🏻

*2025-03-30, version 2.1.0*

The update last week has made it impossible to browse by class length (class time) now while browsing/ filter the half the class times are not displayed on the screen, making it impossible to select.

### 3/5 — Stale content

*2025-03-11, version 2.0.3*

Love the classes but they rarely  produce new context.  Need more content!
