Barry’s Singapore Raffles Place - 18 Robinson Rd

I love everything about Barry’s Singapore - the space, its aesthetics, the people, the great vibe and energy. My favourite instructor would be Rachel - she’s got so much great energy to share and her classes never fail to get me all pumped up. I would go to a 7 or 8am class for her. It’s a great community at Barry’s. If you haven’t try it already, i’ll highly recommend going with a few friends and make new friends there too.

Great vibes, but there’s very little guidance from the instructors. Limited toilet cubicles as well, and they aren’t very well-maintained especially for the prices that you’re paying… hairdryers weren’t working too.

Love the class, but I don’t like the management. I was visiting Singapore for the first time and signed up for the introductory 3 session class. On my second session I mistakenly signed up for the wrong location and when I showed up Rachel, the manager at the raffles location told me there was a spot so it was fine. When I went in for the last of my 3 sessions, she told me I couldn’t join because I showed up at the wrong location for my second class. She didn’t try to do anything to remedy the situation besides try to sell me on a single session class which is $46. She kept saying it’s my fault for not reading the fine print…does anyone read the fine print? I’m not from Singapore and this was my first Barry’s experience. I thought this was very bad customer service, especially since she made no mention of forfeiting my class when I showed up at the wrong location the second time. I am extremely disappointed that I wasn’t able to join the in and left Barry’s with a bad experience.

Great facilities. The style of the class is a little unsuitable for people who are not familiar with using weights. Some teachers make the effort to correct your form. Others just walk past you and don’t really care.

Unpleasant experience. The instructor was mean as I saw him taking off his microphone and told a first timer to get out of his class while the first timer struggled to figure out the right move at the beginning of the class (it was only 5mins into the class). Instructor didn't demonstrate while we were working out. He only briefly demonstrated right at the beginning or asked his regulars to show the movements. I find it rather unprofessional as I paid to learn from the instructor not the regulars. For one of the exercises, I looked at the other students to learn the right move as I struggled to coordinate my movements, the instructor came to me and spoke with his microphone "you don't have to look at others, I explained it just now. I was speaking English." I'm not sure of his intension cause all I wanted was to try to exercise correctly by looking at how others do it since the instructor didn't teach properly and was just walking around shouting with his mic. Overall the gym facilities were alright but the attitude of the instructor is a big turn down. Wouldn't recommend to go to Jeremy's class.

Amazing! Was my first time at a Barry’s and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The introduction was good and the course intense, but the instructor was kind even if you couldn’t keep up.

Atmosphere and equipment were great. Receptionist was friendly and helpful. However, was quite disappointed in the instructor we had. He did not explain the routine and equipment to newbies, did not bother to correct form and instead just walked around shouting instructions. He also focused on interacting with only the regulars in the class. Much can be done to improve the experience for first timers, which will ultimately be in Barry’s interest.

Been here a few times (attaching some pics from last year as well) and quite enjoy the tough workout. And it’s really tough , the min heavy weights recommended for men is 10kg each hand ? That’s hard! The instructors are quite nice and encouraging thankfully and also the facilities are quite clean Also there’s a drinks bar outside that you can order smoothies before or after your class Overall a good place for a physical challenge …
