    Go to workout in the neighborhood! No nonsense, killer workout every time, and knowledgable instructors who make great use of the equipment. Lockers in the back, towels provided, water fountain available to fill up your water bottle.

    Don't even think about it - just join, you will not regret it! After two years of basically being a couch potato I finally worked up the courage to get back into the gym...and I was terrified. What if I'm judged? What if I can't complete the exercises? Session could not have been more welcoming. I am consistently greeted with genuine warmth and made to feel totally comfortable and supported. The workouts are challenging, but the instructor (Mitch is a total legend) is always there to encourage you to push yourself, or to adjust the workout to your needs. It's perfect for all fitness levels! I leave each class feeling equal parts empowered, confident and, well, totally spent. Also, the place is super clean and social distancing/masks rules are followed!

    I’ve tried just about every fitness studio in the area and Session is hands down the best all around. Each movement/exercise can be modified to whatever level you are at so you can push yourself to your max. The workouts are amazing and always changing to keep your body guessing. I would say that the biggest differentiator is the staff (both the coaches and studio managers). Each time you enter the studio you are greeted by the session team and immediately know you are in good hands. Although each coach brings a slightly different approach to class - I guarantee they are all top tier when it comes to level of fitness expertise. If you are looking to better yourself both physically and mentally - Session is the perfect place for you.

    I have been going to sessions consistently for around 2 months now and I am so thankful I found this gym. I like that they have workouts as early as 6 am so that I can go before work! Every workout is completely different than the last and I always feel so good about myself after I leave. The exercises are fun too they have a lot of different equipment. I like the upbeat music they play. My favorite part is that the instructors are ALL incredibly focused and check/correct everyone’s form. As someone who has a previous knee injury this is extremely important to me. There is no pressure to lift heavier than what you can handle. The workouts fly by and the community is extremely friendly and welcoming. This is a great place for novice to advanced exercise enthusiasts. Thank you so much sessions! My confidence and body haven’t looked this great in years (:

    This is the only studio that makes me keep coming back. It's the best gym with the best instructors. Everyone is so knowledgable and they really help you throughout the exercises. I highly recommend here. :]

    Incredible workouts. Incredible trainers. Sessions is a goldilocks gym. Trainers are encouraging and push you. Workout classes have variety. And the community they draw into the studio are all good eggs (so if you're reading this you'd better bring good vibes). I've been going for 4 months now and have seen a huge difference just by going 2x a week (although I'm enjoying it so much now I go 3x). Definitely go here and make this part of your routine.

    Great gym! I loved Oscar’s Sunday signature class. His music and playlists were fire. I intend to come back at some point to buy a 5-pack or 10-pack of classes.

    Absolute best HIIT class in the city. The instructors are so nice, helpful, willing to sit with you and adjust the movements to what works best for you! They are so friendly and energetic! I cancelled classpass and got myself a membership there because it’s making me so happy and now I love to work out! 😂

    Love this place, the teachers, the vibe and work out keep me coming back. Forget any boutique you know, this is the one!

  • 5/5 Janeth R. 11 months ago on Google • 56 reviews
    Love love love! My favorite spot to workout at. Not only are the workouts amazing, but they’ve really created a great community where everyone feels accepted and like family. The music is 10/10, front desk are welcoming, and I’ve made a bunch of friends here!

    Great quick workout spot. Great trainers running Sessions. Cool and fun workout. Great energy!

  • 5/5 Kimmy C. 1 year ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Oscar’s energy made my first time here so great! Introduced himself right away and asked ahead of time about any injuries. Perfect pace and just the right amount of people in class for the 3 stations with enough space in between to comfortably workout. They hand out sanitizing wipes to wipe down your station in between switching rounds. Oscar was super motivating and assisting everyone’s form throughout the entire class - will definitely be back💜

    Hands down my favorite place to workout in NYC. Session has cultivated such a cool, fun and supportive community and really welcomes and invites athletes of all levels of experience to join. They play the best music, and the people who workout there bring a great level of energy to classes and cheer you on. I’d recommend Session to everyone and anyone who enjoys strength training or is even a little bit curious! GO THERE!

  • 5/5 Sara S. 5 years ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Obsessed! The workouts are fantastic, but the people keep me coming back. The instructors are super knowledgable and ready to help you with form and push you to your best bod. And the staff is so friendly, chatted with one of the ladies about our mutual love of running. The facilities are really great too. Clean bathroom and showers, and I love the Palo Santo in the bathroom...nice touch ;-) ohhh but one of my favorite things - they provide reusable water bottles which is seriously SO nice!

  • 5/5 Ray O. 11 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Session is so great! I go to both locations and it’s been the only gym that has consistently kept me coming back 4-5 times a week. All of the coaches are super knowledgeable and encouraging. I leave every class exhausted but always looking forward to the following week!

    I started going to session in Feb 2023 and was INSTANTLY HOOKED! This place is so welcoming to all levels. As a beginner in strength training, I am so pleased with the studios affect on my physical and mental health. The instructors are all so helpful, kind and most of all MOTIVATING!! Book a class you will not regret it!

  • 5/5 Benjamin R. 2 years ago on Google
    Williamsburg! Session is THE place. I’ve been a consistent regular for a few months now and it’s definitely the best gym I’ve been to. The staff and owners are genuinely good people who will get to know you, and the trainers never question your reasons for choosing to workout. There are no pictures of unattainably fit models on the wall, there’s rarely talk of motivation. You just show up and get swept up in the community feel. Speaking of community though, the biggest downside might be that a lot of customers aren’t really interested in saying hi, they’re just there to do their thing and move on, but this isn’t really Session’s fault. The trainers and staff are the people you’ll really get to know, and it’s not canned friendliness. And certainly none of the customers have been un-friendly, just not looking to socialize. As far as price, remember that paying for fitness is one of the best financial investments you can make, because it prevents so many expensive health problems down the road. Medical costs will balloon as you get older, so just pay the money now and kick back later on.

    Amazing Team, best + most fun workout I did in a long time! Great playlists and motivation! Fun and challenging each and every time I went. I will definitely come back next time I visit NY!

  • 5/5 Calvin W. 2 years ago on Google
    On top of normal gym space, they have one of the best pools in the city. Great climbing gym as well, may be small but their setting is solid. Staff is also super friendly

  • 5/5 Joyce H. 11 months ago on Google
    Honestly this is the only gym in South Williamsburg worth your time. The coaches, ops team, and the classes are all so great. I highly recommend if you are looking to get a workout into your weekly routine.

  • 5/5 Callum D. 11 months ago on Google
    Great studio, amazing coaches and different classes every day. Coaches actively make sure you are doing the right exercises, make sure you level up and are always on hand to provide guidance. Front staff are also amazing

  • 5/5 Veronica B. 11 months ago on Google
    Love session! If you are looking for a serious HIT workout or focus on strength, this place is incredible. The trainers are respectful, smart, and super skilled at what they do. Get ready to feel the burn 😄

  • 5/5 Joshua S. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a great class with Taylor! For someone who’s not necessarily in shape, I was a bit nervous, but it was very accommodating. I was able to go at my own pace/level and receive great guidance from the coach (Taylor). Will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Alison M. 4 years ago on Google
    I love classes at Session! Everyone at the studio is super welcoming and kind. The class instructors are always knowledgeable and friendly. During class, instructors are always making the rounds giving form corrections & encouragement. I love that the environment allows for an intense workout, but without being intimidating. One of my fave places to workout!

  • 5/5 Y L. 1 year ago on Google
    10/10 gym. The workouts are challenging and approachable, and I always leave feeling great, mentally and physically. The instructors truly *make* this gym. They are some of the best I’ve ever encountered in a group fitness setting - they provide detailed instructions and helpful, individualized adjustments throughout the class. A1 playlists too. The workouts are always well organized… everything is set up well so you don’t have to run around for equipment mid-class. The board lists all the moves and is up for the duration of the class so that you know exactly what to do even if you forget. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. And sometimes there are even doggos!! So happy to have them in the neighborhood!!

  • 5/5 Ebony A. 4 years ago on Google
    Sessions is a home away from home, offering the best instructors, rewarding workouts and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I LOVE working out here! Highly recommend you try. Be warned - you'll be hooked!! I also personally love the attention to detail and that they don't skip warm ups or cool downs. 10/10!!!

    I have been coming to Session since February of this year and I have to say it has completely changed my life for the better. I have always been that person who wanted to want to work out but had such a hard time actually committing to fitness in any form. From the exciting and creative (and constantly evolving) programming, to the incredible coaches who motivate you and help correct form without shame, to my fellow friendly gym-goers that do not take themselves too seriously, Session is such a fun, action-packed and safe space to improve your workout. I have had a membership for about 6 months now and it has truly changed my perception on "going to the gym" and I absolutely look forward to every class I have. This is a great price point for what you get and I am constantly trying to get my friends to come along with me or join. I cannot recommend Session enough, thank you so much for everything!

  • 1/5 Bianca J. 1 year ago on Google
    I read a lot of reviews saying the management was questionable and I fully agree. Would consider returning sometime in the future under diff management as I loved the trainers, especially Taylor, Darren and Alexa.

  • 5/5 Kari D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun and impactful total body workout! Great high energy environment that keeps you motivated. Instructors are all great, and no one takes themselves too seriously which I love. Workouts are constantly changing so you don’t get bored. 100% recommend, I just wish there were more locations closer to my apartment. Expensive, but that’s NYC.

  • 5/5 Alex L. 4 years ago on Google
    My experience at every Session class has been amazing. The coaches are able to assist each person during the workout even with the class is packed. They make an effort to get to know you & push you to work harder. I have thoroughly enjoyed going to Session & look forward to going more classes in the future. I would highly recommend this class to anyone!

  • 5/5 Alexandra A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is such a fantastic gym. The instructors are so well versed and best of all KIND! It’s become a part of my weekly routine

  • 5/5 Anna F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place made me absolutely fall in love with working out! The classes are great, full body workout and always fun! The instructors are so friendly and welcoming. I finally found a place that makes me keep coming back!

  • 5/5 Scott K. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The instructors are really good at going around giving tips as to how people can correct their form and do the exercises better in a positive way. The whole environment is very welcoming.
