Body Space Fitness

I’ve taken two Metabolic Burn classes here and they’ve been so good. Lots of different circuits, different exercises — I’m never bored. I always leave sweaty and tired and feeling like I have been thoroughly worked out. The reason I take one star off is because the bathroom/​shower situation could use some improvement. My towel today was dirty, the shower did not drain and so I’m standing in a pool of dirty water, and the bathroom sink also did not drain well. Aside from that, the classes are fantastic.

Loved this giant studio and amazing instructor Andy for Body Camp! Mixed it up a lot with intervals of 40 seconds and spent a lot of time correcting form for me (since it was my first class.) will definitely be back. Only complaint is that the doorman to the whole building is a gigantic jerk!

One of the best fitness boutiques in the city. Period. Sunday TFW class with Kelvin has become my ritual. And despite the fact that I have been coming every single week, no workout is the same (except for the hurricane sprint!) The place is nice and spacious with lots of toys! The staffs are very personal and welcoming, which makes this place one of the least pretentious boutiques in the city. I always left class feeling challenged, but ready for more.
Also, I’ve tried both their Met Burn and Kettlebell class (they have both 60 minute and 75 minute class) and love them both. The only reason I have been coming back to TFW more often is because I’m one of the weirdos who love sprinting.
Overall, can’t recommend BSF enough. I wish they offer more morning classes so I can start my morning right! (they started offering 6AM class a couple of weeks ago, but I would love to have a 7AM option).

I actually really liked this class. Tony was enthusiastic, informative and explained the different stations very well. I’ve taken many classes at EPIC, WFBC, Tone House, etc. And I have to say, Tony is one of the best instructors I’ve come across. The stations were tough and I definitely sweat. I wasn’t gasping for breath at the end, but certainly felt I got a good workout in. I’m curious to try their Training for Warriors class. We partnered up for the drills which is always nice so you can push each other to keep going.
All in all, will definitely go back. Yes for the workout but more so for the awesome vibes from the staff. With so many different workout options in the city, especially in the Flatiron area, the positive and welcoming attitude from all staff members here is really what sets this gym apart from the rest.

I took metabolic burn with Nicole on a Saturday and she’s so great! She’s the reason I’m writing this review… I love her — she’s the perfect mix of nice and encouraging, and keeps a pretty good eye on your technique and offers helpful suggestions for you to correct your form.
I think there was either another class or a group training session going on in the space next to ours but I didn’t even notice because you’re so busy rotating in this typical circuit class. Each circuit works a a different body part, ie they don’t have «leg day» or whatever in this class. It’s a good challenge — you can/​Nicole can offer adjustments to each exercise to modify the level of difficulty which makes this great for all levels.
I am looking forward to taking their other classes soon.

Had a few classes here so i think it’s time for my review.
I found it thru Unilocal reviews. Luckily for me the day I stopped by they had a promotion for 5 classes.
I have taken mostly the Boot camp class, 1 metabolic burn. Both always have me gasping for breath. But that’s a good thing, that’s what I am paying for.
Maybe 1 day I will graduate to the Training for Warriors class.
I would like to take the personal training sessions but they are bit too pricey, even when done in a group. I moved from Philly and trainings sessions at my gym there was WAY cheaper. I just can pay these «big city» prices. not yet.
Teachers are friendly and they encourage you. They also do try to watch your form but granted with 8 – 12 students in a class it’s not difficult to miss someone who is performing an exercise improperly/​with bad form. I have 7years of personal training and although I sorta know how to do certain things with good form, there are times when I have to catch myself and self-​correct. I know where my injuries are and how to NOT trigger more pain. SO that’s the only down side I saw.
The space is not too large but it’s enough to get your butt kicked in 1 hr and get out. Locker room is mod sized. They are adding more lockers which was an issue on one occasion when I had to put my stuff on top the lockers (because the current class didn’t come out yet).

The Training for Warriors class with Tony is SUCH a fun and challenging workout. It’s a circuit-​style class incorporating uphill springs, TRX work, sand bag lunges and everything in between. Tony is one of the best trainers I’ve worked with to-​date. Incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and encouraging.
The space itself is pretty basic, but the facilities are clean and you’ll have everything you need to get a good workout in. I can’t wait to come back and try some of the other classes!

I found this gym through Fit Reserve and really enjoyed it. I’ve tried 5 different studios so far and this is the only one I can see myself coming back to in the future. I took the Body Camp which is a little too easy for someone that is already conditioned and athletic. The class after me was the Metabolic Burn and was packed with girls who looked fit and toned so I think that’s the more advanced class. Nicole was really outgoing and motivating. She had a bunch of fun stations set up. This class was very similar to Epic Hybrid. The differences were that this class was a lot easier, more spacious, not as claustrophobic and didn’t have sweat puddles everywhere. I look forward to trying out their more challenging classes!

I love this place. The level of personal attention is great, even in the group classes, which usually have about twelve people in them. I’ve had classes with both Tony and Kelvin. Their enthusiasm is infectious! This is a great workout in a great space!

That was one hard kettlebell class. Glad that they encourage proper form so you don’t hurt yourself. I have seen other classes just say do the most you can in a minute. Having a goal and encouraging good form is way safer and more effective.
Cool concept at this gym where they have semiprivate instructional so that you can basically have your own personal trainer for less. Great studio and very motivating instructors. Yay for being on classpass.

This review has been a long time in the making. I have put it off for quite a while because honestly, I wasn’t sure how anything i write could really express how incredible Body Space Fitness is and how it’s truly changed my life. These are not things that come lightly from a person like me.
Over the past year, its been my pleasure to take a class or semi-​private training with every team member in the BSF family (which I kinda feel like I’m a part of!). Whether its the semi-​private training with Jo/​Dana/​Kelvin, the Bikini Body Challenge with Dana (and Fran), TFW/​MetBurn/​Body Camp classes with Andy and Tony, or Kettlebell Class with Kelvin, every moment has been handled with care, professionalism, and most importantly, provided a workout that leaves me feeling accomplished. They are always on the lookout to ensure you have good form, modify exercises according to your needs and know when to push you and when to lay off.
If you’re looking for a gym where people remember your name from the minute you walk in to when you leave, this is it. They walk the walk that they talk :)
Over the many years of my weight loss journey, I have done it all. All the big network gyms, the trendy fads, the juice cleanses, and even personal training (4 different places before I found BSF!) and nothing has changed my body the way that these workouts have. Do yourself a huge favor and sign up. Whether its through classpass or a strategy session, its worth it.
It’s the first time in my life that I feel strong and proud of myself for how far I have come under the guidance of these amazing trainers. I also can no longer say «i have no upper body strength.» Thank you BSF. For everything and mostly for always believing in me even when I didn’t.
And everyone, if I can do it, you can too.

Body Space Fitness is one of my favorite places to work out in NYC. It’s a shame that it’s so far away from my apartment, grr. I’ve taken Body Camp and Metabolic Burn here. I don’t have the balls to take Training For Warriors yet, but maybe someday. The space is big and has all the equipment you could ever need– it’s pretty crowded after work hours but in a good way with lots of personal training happening concurrently with group fitness.
Body Camp is their lowest level class– since I’m more of an intermediate level exerciser (I love Barrys Bootcamp), this class was a bit too easy for me. However, it’s great if you want to work on your form, are a beginner, want to take a little step down from super intense exercise, or you want to build a bit more strength
Metabolic Burn– Super hard! I have taken classes with both Fran and Tony, who are ahmaaaazing trainers. Love them. You’ll def be sore the next day after this class.
I am looking forward to trying their personal training next, as well as their individualized personal fitness assessments. Check them out!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!
As a beginner who’s just starting to get into working out, I couldn’t have made a better discovery of this place (thanks to some recommendations from friends)! The trainers are very encouraging, non-​pretentious, and truly care about your form and improvement. The classes are challenging but won’t make you feel overwhelmed, especially for beginners like me. No gimmicks, just a genuinely good workout and great experience.
It’s the kind of place that makes me want to keep coming back for more because I feel stronger and happier after each workout. And as an added bonus, they have an InBody machine that calculates your body fat, muscle mass, and more — a great way to have a solid point of reference to track your progress!

Pretty good workout… I did the metabolic class. It wasn’t the hardest class I’ve been too. But it did the job. The instructor paid attention to form and was encouraging, but not demanding or intimidating (while I like sometimes) haha.
Nice studio, friendly staff, good sweat. I’ll be back!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s really a hidden gem. I was not sure what to expect coming into it but I was pleasantly surprised. I had not taken a strength training class in years before coming here. However, I have now become a regular. They do a great job at helping you modify things to your level and work around injuries. I usually take metabolic burn and body camp classes.
I like metabolic burn because it’s more fast paced and I get that cardio effect where I feel amazing by all the endorphins being released. The space is clean and modern. Lots of fun gadgets to play with makes the class more entertaining instead of dreadful.
Joanna and Andy are the only two teachers I’ve had and they are both great! I’m sure the everyone else is amazing as well. The whole team seems very involved and helpful. The management does a good job as the space seems like a family working towards common goals not a business. This isn’t a gym, it’s a lifestyle. :) xoxo

The space itself isn’t all too impressive looking. It’s simple, basic, clean. There’s is a variety of equipment to ensure a good workout for anyone. The locker room is sufficient and there’s 2 showers in the ladies. Amenities include just the basics such as shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion. No frills.
What I really like about this place is the trainers. Not only are they friendly, but they cater their workouts to all types of bodies to ensure everyone gets a good workout at the level they need to be at. No one will die from the classes, nor would anyone be injured. There is more emphasis of form than speed or heavy weights, like many places. As a person with a longer term injury, I have been looked after and given modifications to adjust. I have not been yelled at or told to figure out my own mods at all.
It’s not a cheap class, but to be honest, I’ve paid more for personal training and got less back. It’s definitely worth checking out.

One of my favorite circuit training experiences. The class was set up with a nice variety of exercises, working different parts of the body — it was challenging but still enjoyable. Also, Andy was the perfect mix of knowledgable, super encouraging and enthusiastic without seeming over the top.

BSF is a hidden gem that I discovered through ClassPass. It’s probably the most real and least pretentious studio I’ve been too. All the instructors are super friendly, experienced, and motivating. This is not a place for «cool» kids, this is a place for everyone.
I’ve only tried Metabolic Burn so far, which is a circuit based workout that incorporates fast moving strength and cardio movements. There are a lot of equipment involved but the instructors are all conscious of demonstrating the moves beforehand.
Can’t wait for my class tonight with Tony (who is the best)!

I am fat. The first step is admitting it. It’s okay to be fat — there’s just more of me to love.
Tony V., my trainer, kicked my butt with his custom workouts. I stretched, and stretched, then worked out… then I was told that I was supposed to work out four days a week for the rest of my life. I told him that I wished I were a better lawyer because I spend so much time at work that working out four days a week would only be possible if I were a genius. (Or terminated). Anyway, there should be no excuses when it comes to taking care of your body, so I wholeheartedly endorse Tony V.
There are so many other gyms in this area and I am glad that I came here. I received the personal attention that I needed so I wouldn’t be able to slack off… I jumped around, pushed a cart around, moved rope, pulled myself upwards… etc.
Everything is sore, and I feel great. Thank you, Tony V. I’ll be back.
In the end: I didn’t die. (I signed the waiver anyway).

BSF is one of the several great studios I’ve discovered through ClassPass. After going to a number of boutique fitness studios, trying everything from barre to trampoline cardio to indoor rowing, I’ve learned that circuit training gets me the fastest results. I’m not necessarily looking to lose weight, but just tone up the right places and get my overall fitness up so I can feel like a boss in my everyday life.
It’s on the 5^th floor of a building that also houses Flex Studios. It’s a pretty standard gym setup, except with astroturf in the main area, a spacious locker room in the back, and a water filling station.
BSF has quality instructors and friendly staff.
I’ve taken two Body Camp classes and one Metabolic Burn class here. They’re both formatted similarly but Metabolic Burn is the more «advanced» version of Body Camp with less rest time, a fact I discovered yesterday as my life flashed before my eyes and my muscles began to cry.
I love the small class size. They cap it at 10, so you’re guaranteed plenty of individual attention to your form and to make sure you don’t slack off. (I’m totally that girl who stops when the instructor isn’t looking.)
This is how class goes:
— Foam rolling + stretching
— 10-​minute warmups (e.g. lunges, skipping, sprints)
— 40 – 45 minutes of circuit exercises (using the TRX straps, resistance bands, ropes, sandbags, weights, sliders, etc.). In Body Camp, you do one exercise for 45 seconds and rest, then switch. In Metabolic Burn, you do one exercise for 40 seconds and switch (no resting!).
— 5 minutes of final cardio movements (like jump squats… ouch)
— 5 minutes of foam rolling, stretching
It’s a very complete workout that incorporates your whole body. Even if I had all the equipment at home or at a gym, it’s definitely more challenging and creative than anything I could come up with and the instructors motivate you.
As for the price, it’s not cheap: $ 30 for a group class if you don’t use ClassPass. But I would do this over SoulCycle any day.
