    Extremely frustrating that you can come and the door is locked bc the front desk wants to take the class instead of doing their job. And it’s been dangerously cold outside. Not ok and extremely irresponsible/inconsiderate. Update: The second photo is 4 days later on Tuesday morning. Here we are at 7:15am waiting for the 7am instructor to arrive in the cold. I'll be contacting them via email today.

    Go to 305!!!! That is all I can really say. If you are hesitating, just try it - it is one of the most fun, unique, energizing, and SAFE workout classes I’ve been to. The instructors are so positive and welcoming, and never criticize for needing breaks or modifications. You feel empowered and energized by the end, and the environment is just cool - the live DJ, cool lights, and gorgeous design really adds to the experience. I was living in NYC temporarily and this was a place I consistently felt excited and safe to visit, even as a “non-local.” Thank you 305, I’ll miss you!

    Very intense cardio/zumba class! I did with Darnell! We literally worked on the entire body & focused on abs specifically as well! It is so fun and one of the best workouts I’ve done in NYC! Anyone can do it! Definitely a great way to exercise !

    I recently moved away from NYC and the #1 thing I miss is 305 Fitness. I’ve never had so much fun working up a sweat. You will leave the class feeling so sexy - my confidence skyrocketed after finding this place! I’m a former dancer so I get REALLY into it - but I have a lot of non-dancer friends who enjoy it just as much. Definitely try the FLX and PWR classes too. The trifecta of amazing and super fun sweat sessions!

    I was in NY for work and decided to do a class for fun and a workout while traveling. The studio is so cute, staff is super friendly and welcoming. I took class with Amit. She was F.I.R.E. so inspiring, great choreography, sexy and fun moves...incredible live DJ too!!! I didn't want the class to end....but I was also so exhausted and sweated off so many calories!!! I will be making this a staple spot every time I come to NYC!!! Thank you 305 fitness for creating such an amazing place to dance and feel supported all!!!

    305 is such a fun workout that it really feels like a party, especially if you go with friends. What I love is how enthusiastic the instructors are - they can really dictate the energy of the room, and the popular ones always have full classes. My favorites are HD, Brandon, and Katie. The live DJ also makes a huge difference - its always so fun to dance to their music, and since they change up the choreo regularly, there's always new music and new moves to learn. I also just love the branding and communication style of 305 - it's unique, humorous, loud, and colorful and super refreshing from other fitness studios that target the same audience. Their customer service are friendly and reasonable too. Highly recommend 305 to anyone looking to improve their cardio fitness while having a good time!

    305 is my favorite work out of all time. I can't imagine my workout routine or life without it. The class is easily the most intense cardio you can do in less than an hour - classes easily torch 600 calories and leave you tired no matter how in shape you are. I'm always a happier person post-305 and in a better mood. Could not recommend more!

    I will admit when my friend told me about 305, I was reluctant to try it. I love dancing but by no means am I a ‘dancer.’ Choreographed routines? Nope, not for me. It took a couple months, but I finally caved and tried 305. From the moment I met the instructor HD, I felt welcome and comfortable in class. While I wasn’t confident in my dancing abilities, I didn’t think about that throughout the class because I was having too much FUN! And to top it off, it was an amazing workout! From that moment on, I was hooked and have since recruited all of my friends!

    Went on a Saturday with a big group of friends and had a fabulous time. The instructor's energy was so high it was infectious.

    BEST WORKOUT & STAFF! I LOVE this workout. It feels like I am going to a club and getting good cardio in. The team checks vaccination and I feel very comfortable working out here. The energy is also like no other studio I've been to. Everyone is extremely nice and positive. They are also really understanding about cancelations due to sickness given the current environment. DEFINITELY DO IT!

    Honestly one of the best dance classes I’ve ever taken! It was such a welcoming and positive environment and I can’t wait to go back. Alicia was absolutely amazing! Her energy is unmatched. If you’ve been wanting to take a fun, inviting and nonjudgmental dance class where you can just let loose and be yourself this is the one for you.

    Love 305! I get all the endorphins from a good sweat and the amazing instructors!

  • 5/5 Loren B. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the best time... Working out!! It's a small.window front, but you'll.know you've arrived. It's super cute- When i went in it was larger than I thought- loved the decoration! I was welcomed in and given a quick tour since it was my first time. The class was amazing. The studio had a DJ, lights and we danced full cardio routines and toned - HD made sure we kept going, at our own pace, but kept the engery throughout the whole class. Highly recommended- I went at 2:30 on a Friday, and it was a full group... #gogogo

  • 5/5 Irene X. 4 years ago on Google
    Every time I want a mood booster, I take a class at 305. You feel like the most amazing version of yourself afterwards. Each class is taught by really enthusiastic and positive instructors. Everyone has a good time, no matter your dance level. I cannot recommend this workout enough to my friends.

  • 5/5 Rach C. 5 years ago on Google
    LITERALLY THE BEST THING I EVER DID. I’ve tried so many group workout classes and gym memberships and this is the only one I actually look forward to going to! It’s so fun, the instructors are incredible, and I love dancing it out! Totally recommend!

  • 5/5 Bianca J. 5 years ago on Google
    Love the PWR class here, which is a high energy weights focused workout taught to fun music in a small class setting. I'm always sore from it the next day...something I consider a good thing!

  • 5/5 Rachel L. 4 years ago on Google
    305 has truly changed my life! Hands down the most fun workout to ever exist. Classes have made me happy, healthy, and so much more confident in my body and who I am. The instructors, the choreo, the music...all incredible!!! So much good energy here 🙌🏼💋💘💪🏼

    Latoya = QUEEN. MUST take her class. Life. CHANGING.

  • 5/5 Amy H. 4 years ago on Google
    I just started attending 305 classes and they're amazing—the instructors are so positive and encouraging, the music and DJs are energizing and fun, and the facilities are great (with nice showers and high quality bath/skincare products). I highly recommend 305 and particularly enjoy the Village location. Thanks for changing my fitness life, 305!

  • 5/5 Dana V. 4 years ago on Google
    This class is so much fun. Insane cardio as you dance your heart out!

  • 5/5 Vanessa P. 4 years ago on Google
    Upbeat and energizing workout that's guaranteed to make you sweat! All instructors are super motivating and there's a live DJ in the class to keep the beats going. Studios are spacious and you have enough room to move even in a full class. They have dance cardio, sculpting, and yoga classes. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Alisha V. 5 years ago on Google
    Try their FLEX classes. Same fun atmosphere but focuses on core strength and flexibility exercises.

  • 5/5 Ashley J. 4 years ago on Google
    The most fun workout I’ve ever done that is a FULL body workout! 305 has taught me to have confidence and be extra if that’s how I feel. It’s all about having fun and putting in that intention for yourself bc we all work hard and deserve every happiness, so go on and take it! My fave instructors: Ana Basit Bex Hannah HD Jimmy Melissa

  • 5/5 Lauren K. 4 years ago on Google
    305 fitness is one of the more welcoming, positive and effective fitness experiences I've ever been to. I am a horrible dancer, and both the instructors and the other participants are so kind and encouraging, and no one takes it too seriously (in the best way). Additionally I am usually bored by most fitness classes, and this flies by so quickly. Rather than watching the clock I am bummed when it's over! could not recommend more.

  • 4/5 Rita D. 4 years ago on Google
    Best workout in the city! I lost so much weight doing it 3 times a week. It tones my stomach like no other workout.

  • 5/5 Stacey Badgett J. 4 years ago on Google
    As a Dancer and a Fitness enthusiast I always come to 305 wanting to have the freedom to "feel myself" without any judgement and be in a space where everyone feels the same way. You are guarenteed to be welcomed by each and everyone throughout the space and also the music is super cute as a plus.

  • 5/5 Nisha S. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing amazing classes! Everyone is so friendly, music is always poppin, and no class is ever the same. The instructors are energetic, encouraging, and provide modifications for different moves. I've taken the cardio and PWR (strength and conditioning) classes and I'm hooked on both. They're definitely challenging and you'll break a sweat but so rewarding.

  • 5/5 John P. 4 years ago on Google
    I started working out at 305 back in 2017. I was tired of running, and needed to find a method of cardio that was a better fit for my personality. 305 allows me to embrace my performative side! The dances are challenging, fun and liberating. After a 305 class, I always feel sexier and more connected to my body. The studios themselves are immaculate and well-equipped, and the staff is always friendly. Classes can be expensive, but they offer great rates for students for off-peak classes.

  • 5/5 Victoria G. 4 years ago on Google
    Every time I go to 305 Fitness - I walk out happier than I came in. It is the absolute best way to get a great work out in while also completely boosting my mood. I recommend anyone who is looking for a studio that is inclusive, fun, and energizing, visits 305 ASAP.

  • 5/5 Alberta D. 4 years ago on Google
    The absolute most fun workout class in the city! Such an inclusive and positive environment, would recommend to dancers and non-dancers alike. A great workout that feels like a night out dancing ... even when the class is at 8am!

  • 4/5 Erin M. 4 years ago on Google
    Pure fun! I love coming here to workout...and trust me. I am not one of those people who uses "love" and "workout" in the same sentence casually. This is different. 305 is a full blown party! The energy is incredible and you can't help but smile while jamming along. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because its so expensive!

  • 5/5 Alana M. 4 years ago on Google
    305 Fitness is such a unique place, I haven’t been anywhere quite like it. It is such a positive, energized, encouraging and inclusive atmosphere. I owe thanks to 305 for changing my relationship with exercise; what used to be a chore has become a celebration and gift for myself!

  • 5/5 Halie L. 4 years ago on Google
    305 fitness is, without a doubt, the best workout class in New York City. I leave every session in a great mood after having danced with 305's upbeat and welcoming instructors. Can't recommend it enough!

  • 5/5 Kayla A. 4 years ago on Google
    It's the only workout class I've ever looked forward to. I've taken classes from multiple instructors and each is better than the last.

  • 5/5 Janice S. 4 years ago on Google
    I am the worst dancer alive and I hate cardio. HOWEVER, I thoroughly enjoy 305 every time I go. I first started going to 305 in order to prep for my wedding bod and even though the wedding's over, I just bought my 20 class pack because I'm addicted. Have fun, dance like a crazy person (everyone's honestly just watching themselves in the mirror, so don't be self-conscious), and feel great after! I also appreciate the diversity and authenticity of the instructors, staff, and people who come to classes. Some of my favorite instructors are Hannah, Ana, Beth, Bex, Desiree, Chris, Sadie... So basically everyone.

  • 5/5 Rachel L. 4 years ago on Google
    Since I started going to classes in March, I’ve become a total 305 fitness junkie. The instructors are so welcoming and positive, and that energy is contagious! Not only are the dance cardio classes a total party, but the PWR classes are super challenging and equally as fun. Going to 305 fitness is something I always look forward to! :)

  • 5/5 Paige C. 4 years ago on Google
    Ob👏sessed👏 Love the yoga classes as well as the dancing. Protip that during the week 8-9am and 5-7:30pm classes fill up quickly, so try to book your classes as far in advance as possible.

  • 5/5 happy n. 4 years ago on Google
    So much fun

  • 4/5 Swetha P. 4 years ago on Google
    Great workout, lots of fun. My only issue is the pricing. It’s inaccesible which is sad. Maybe it’s changed and they have community classes? Not sure.

  • 5/5 Kendall D. 5 years ago on Google
    305 is the best workout! No class goes faster, works you harder, AND is so much fun. The music, instructors, and energy is unparalleled in a workout studio. I can't wait for my next class!!

  • 5/5 Alexis P. 5 years ago on Google
    OBSESSED with 305 Fitness! Every time I’m there they are so accommodating and welcoming. From the front desk staff to the instructors and other 305 clients, they have the best atmosphere ever!! I love my Wednesday’s at 6am❤️

  • 5/5 erica g. 5 years ago on Google
    If you haven't been to 305 you are missing out! Not to mention the staff at the front desk to the instructors in the studios are phenomenal! Go take 305 and make sweat sexy! You wont regret it!

  • 5/5 Ivona K. 5 years ago on Google
    The greatest cardio workout I have ever done. Can't settle for any other cardio workout than ((305)).

  • 5/5 Mercedes K. 5 years ago on Google
    Best class ever of Cardio

  • 5/5 Kane B. 5 years ago on Google
    The best place, so body positive and I enjoy working out. I never dread working out because I feel like I’m going to a dance club without alcohol. The best feeling ever when I leave. Love you 305

  • 5/5 Jeannie L. 5 years ago on Google
    You’re having so much fun that you don’t even realize you’re working out! I walk out feeling amazing and all of the instructors have been great!

  • 5/5 Kate M. 5 years ago on Google
    305 is the only place where I haven't hated my life doing cardio. Time flies in these classes, the music is amazing, the workout always is great, and every instructor I've ever had has been welcoming, hilarious, and clearly love their job.

  • 5/5 Candy F. 4 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    305 is absolutely fantastic. I found out about it and that it's Columbus Circle location is 2 blocks from my job, so I go to their lunchtime classes. Everyone is friendly, the space is bright and fun and all the instructors I've danced with have been AWESOME, although my favorites so far are Domenic and Chelsea. Highly highly recommend if you're looking for a tough but fun workout that doesn't involve being at a boring gym.

    About a week ago I had a good ugly cry at 305, the kind resembling Kim k. It was related to a family matter that I wanted to share with the HBIC Sadie herself . I wanted her to know how much I LOVE 305 ,as cheesy and corny AF it may sound. While some people go to 305 for losing weight I go because it makes me FEEL GOOD. Now this is not to say this class is a "kumbaya" let's all come together and celebrate life... NO. Be prepared to sweat profusely and shake your ass like no other in this one of a kind class. I have taken the following instructors --Sadie --Katie --Bex --Chris --Natalia --Hannah Jean --Naimah --Dionne --Latoya --JJ --Michelle- she is based in Boston- yes even on my short trips out of state I want to go to 305, and drag who ever I am with to join me. I do have favorites, I think everyone does, but this is judged on how I feel during a class and after class. While I do enjoy shaking my ass, and going low with the movement too, I enjoy doing high knees, jump squats and burpees. I would say both Latoya and Dionne was the hardest for me. But I love the burn, so it truly depends on what you like. Other favorites include Sadie, Katie and Naimah. All instructors I have taken are awesome, because they all encourage members to embrace their sexiness and beauty. Oh I forgot to mention there are live DJ's, and a section in class where the lights shut off and your suddenly at a club, breaking it down to Formation and dabbing. What gets better than that?

    6+ years with 305. The energy, the movements (afro, latin), the DJs, the lighting, and the encouraging trainers. So incredibly friendly and welcoming to newcomers and an overall powerful feminine energy. BIPOC and LGBTQ+ friendly. Kyra and Raella are the all time best instructors! I took so much inspo from them and hung onto their every word at the end of class on setting positive intentions, self love, all of the goodies. Beautiful representation of strong, real women. I'm sad to have recently moved away from NYC but still workout to their awesome online videos. @Sadie - A huge thank you. Come to Denver!
