    One of the nicest boutique Gyms in Lebanon! Vibe and people are super! Coaches are super helpful and experienced. Recommend Calisthenics with Mo! He is the best and can teach you also an inversion or 2! Also super recommend cycling class since its their specialty! Rachid is the best :) PS: don’t mind photos of me monkeying around!(they also have an outdoor Cali space)

    As it is a new start, where do I start, BARR is what I think about when I think of the perfect gym. It starts with the location, decoration and setup. It quickly started with an awesome energy and knowledge that we get from Rachid and the trainers, they are eager to help and will to take time with us. Also they understand what we are striving for and they WILL get us there and further, while having fun. The classes are intense for every level athlete, and I love the diverse workout combinations.

    BARR is not a regular gym, it's a community. The staff are amazing, very friendly, it feels like home. They encourage you always, help you whenever you need help. I would recommend this gym to anyone, professional athletes or amateurs as both can really enjoy training there.

    The cycling classes at BARR are definitely the best I have found in Beirut. Each session blends technical components of outdoor cycling (power, cadence, etc.) with an energizing and fun atmosphere. The workouts are exceptional, challenging cyclists to push their limits!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making every session an enjoyable and effective experience. Highly highly recommend!!

    I loved every time when I went to BARR. The gym has dumbells, barbells, two benches, bars for pull-ups. Freeweights only. No machines. There are two ergometers, a bike, and two treadmills. Free usage for the basic monthly fee of 55$. But for just $65, you get access to their classes (Boxing, CrossFit, Calisthenics). I tried these three and I enjoyed them all. All the coaches are nice, polite, helpful, experienced. You will get to know other people, too. I recommend this option. For anothe 10$, you get access to spinning classes. At the entrance, Ahmad will welcome you at the desk and you can have a nice coffee or a protein shake when you come or leave the box. And the gym is located in the semi-basement (sousterrain) of a beautiful renovated convent. Access through a green and well-maintained garden in which you can sit and ponder or exercise on some bars installed outside. This is a gym after my taste. I liked the people who ran it, I liked the classes, I liked its space and basic equipment and the lack of pretentiousness which is present in so many gyms and fitness-studios. When I come back to Beirut, I will go back to Mohammed's and Iliyas's classes, inshallah.

    The BARR supportive community especially their knowledgeable trainers encouraged me to commit. It’s not your typical gym experience, everyone is there to lift you and keep you motivated.

    This is a great gym located in the middle of Achrafieh inside a school building, gym area includes all equipment for crossfit and also threadmills etc. Bike classes I joined were different than musical spinning classes I am used to, it definitely tests and improves your endurance level. Instructors and staff very helpful, highly recommend checking this place!

    Definitely one of my favorite fitness centers in Beirut. From Crossfit and calisthenics to kickboxing and cycling… with all necessary equipment to train either by yourself or in group sessions. I personally tried most of the classes and I can say that each one is a must try the least.. but my favorite and the one I really recommend is the indoor cycling sessions with Rachid. Overall, a great gym with very friendly and welcoming coaches and staff!

    Love this gym, especially the cycling classes. Instructors are professional and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun and serious community to work out with!

  • 5/5 Laetitia M. 10 months ago on Google
    The place is truly amazing and has a wonderful vibe. I am extremely enjoying the morning classes (cycling and barr workout). The team is also very helpful. The nice thing is that they have several classes on different times during the day, so you can always find a suitable time for your workout! Also, the shower rooms are super clean. Highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 Rana M. 6 months ago on Google
    I’m a new member at BARR and my experience so far is great! I’m even pushing my husband to join! I feel that i finally found a gym that i can stick to after trying out almost every gym in Beirut. The gym is located in a beautiful neighbourhood in achrafieh, inside a parking, so you don’t have to look for a place to park! And cherry on top the parking is FREE. I’ve tried so far Barr work, boxing and cycling. The classes are super FUN, challenging and push you to your limit. The coaches are very friendly and professional. They carefully give you the right amount of attention. Even though its a group class but it almost feel like a PT session. The founder rachid is a really nice dude. They have a monthly membership and also class packages so if you’re not a regular you can pick the right package for you (4 or 8 classes). You can even book a single class. All classes has to be booked on In2 app. Cancelation policy is 6 hours prior the class. So if you’re a last minute person like me, and not sure if you can make it to the class on time, better cancel early to avoid paying extra charge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    I have been going to this gym for a month, for the calisthenic lessons and the gym so i can only speak for this but i am loving it ! All the staff are super friendly, this is not the typucal gym with all the usual machines if its what you are looking for, but it is absolutely great for a different kind of training, more active and functional. I highly recommend it ! I have never felt so great and comfortable in a gym !

  • 5/5 Cristina M. 10 months ago on Google
    This gym is great! I am so happy that I found it and I really look forward to coming every day. I had been eyeing a few gyms and this one was definitely my favorite. It is located in a charming building in Achrafieh and has a great atmosphere. The community is super welcoming and helpful! The gym has free weights and functional training spaces, a studio space, and a cycling studio. They offer cycling (not your Soulcycle-esque class but rather geared towards outdoor cycling and endurance), boxing, calisthenics, and circuit-based strength training classes. The facilities are very clean.

    More than a gym, a community! Diverse classes and fantastic coaches, who genuinely want to see you improve. The first time in my life I am semi-consistent in the gym :) Highly recommend!

I highly recommend it for everyone! Keep it up

    Top notch cycling class offered by the best instructors whether it's Rachid or others. Guaranteed gains when cycling outdoors and uphills 😏

  • 5/5 Jonathan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the privilege of being one of the first Americans (according to the owner) to visit this fitness club since opening. Great staff! Ample weights for lifting, a $10 daily rate very reasonable, and nice and friendly people. Recommend it for classes too if you want to take them.

    Best Gym in Beirut, I go for CrossFit they got the best coaches.

  • 5/5 hania c. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been around in gyms in Lebanon, starting with the big commercial ones to small studios. BARR by far is the best combination you can get of all. It targets the serious committed and dedicated athletes/fit individuals, by offering well rounded experience and knowledge behind the different fitness services it provides. Plus it feels like a home ❤️

  • 5/5 Tina M. 1 year ago on Google
