FIT RxN

I just took my first class here (FIT HIIT W/​Nikki) and it was incredibly challenging (in the best way).
The instructor was great and had a contagious energy that made my believe I could definitely do 6 more rounds of 40 seconds of jump squats.
The studio is nice as well– it has 2 class rooms (1 for spin, 1 for TRX), small lockers with a key, water and coffee, and 2 bathrooms (no shower). It’s a bit off the beaten path, but it’s a hidden gem for sure. I’ll be back!

WOW. Awesome workout. Was shaking by the end of it. I love spinning but have only had bad experiences with cages instead of clipping in shoes. The cages and bikes here were awesome. I loved the ³⁰⁄₃₀ class (combo of half spin and half trx). It was perfect for me. Need to get used to TRX.
Only gripe is no showers. They’re in a very residential area, but they are still near some dense office areas and showers, would make me a full time customer.

Amazing class for any skill level. Mr. Ray rocks and makes the class fun while it’s super challenging. I would recommend this class to everyone!!! love it

This place is no joke! I love it here. Trx core with mr Ray is so fun and entertaining. It’s also hard. My triceps still hurt from Friday (it’s Sunday) and I work out every day so the muscle soreness is because this workout really challenges the body. It’s a great place and I highly recommend it.

I came here on classpass and I can’t say enough good stuff about this place. I took my first class here last Saturday (The Smoker) with Candace. This was my first time braving with TRX and like most people come to believe, it is definitely SO much harder than it looks. Candace was really energetic and just what you need on a Saturday morning. She was incredibly encouraging without being pushy and helped correct your form without making you feel silly. From the woman at the front desk upon arrival to Candace saying goodbye, this place is fully of friendly smiling faces and I will most definitely be back!

Just finished a trx mesh up class with justin.
I am in pain. I loved it. My first feq classes so I am very slow at all the different work outs. But he didnt make me feel stupid and kindlh and patiently exolained each move to me.
If u have questions he is happy to answer. This guy is very knowledgeable. He is great.
There were 4 of us in the classm. Its like a semi private class. But seriously. Justin is awesome!

Came here on classpass. I have had a few instructors now and have really enjoyed my classes in the TRX mashup class. TRX uses ropes and bodyweight for all of your workouts. They are the yellow and black suspension ropes you see in the gym. I bet you look at those things and think «wow what a whimp. how is that even a workout?» when you see someone using those things. Well once in a class you will probably start to sweat, then ache, then cry and you will never talk crap again.
Even with a large group they will rotate you between trx and floor work. It is super impressive that the instructors can motivate two different groups doing two different exercises at the same time. It is truly multitasking at its best. This keeps everyone constantly moving. Only this is you are asked to share a sweaty mat and suspension rope with someone else. Ewwy.
Every TRX workout I have done has kicked my ass. They also have a spin studio here and offer a ³⁰⁄₃₀ Spin and TRX class in which you spin for 30 and TRX for 30. Maybe it was just the class I took but it wasnt my favorite as I hate spinning without spin shoes (I wasn’t prepared) and by the time I was building up my sweat on the spin bike, I already had to switch. TRX Mashup though … top notch! Do that one.
On a final note, they do not have showers but they do provide you with lockers that have their own locks. JD, Ray, and Lauren are great instructors that I have used.

Mr. Ray, Jeff and Erin are my usual go-to’s… but Nikki filled in on Sunday and she’s a great addition to the group! She is energetic, enthusiastic and makes everyone feel included… I did both the TRX and spin class with her and got my money’s worth… If you are a regular and tend to gravitate towards the 3 afore-​mentioned trainers I definitely recommend trying on of Nikki’s classes… she won’t disappoint!

Location is not that bad even though it is in ghost town. I am always running late so I usually have to run to here from the train. Fast. It warms me up for whats next.
The trx class is no joke. Sometimes I feel like barfing after which means it was workout. Natalia is great she motivates and yells which I like. She plays the best
music .
This aint for the faint of heart and you feel like your gonna die but its how you get fit fast.
This place is a great additon to me weekly workouts

Pros:
–Friendly staff, motivating instructors
–Small group classes, lots of attention
–Clean facility with a variety of equipment
Con:
–Location location location!
I’ve only been to TRX Mash Up classes but I will definitely be back for spin!

Just took their TRX Mashup class and I am exhausted.
The class: was crazy as hell! First off the room was a bit warm so the slightest movement caused me to sweat. Now imagine going full force with side planks, kettle bell swings, 1 leg squats, mountain climbers, burpees, sit ups, etc. I was sweating like a beast!!! The instructor was great. He was encouraging and cute ;-)
The facility: there are 2 rooms (1 for spin class and 1 for TRX), 2 restrooms within the spin room (no showers), and a small locker area (they provide you with a lock).
The location: 61^st and West End Ave. because I’m a brooklynite this location is no good for me. It’s cool for an afterwork situation but that’s all. It’s not exactly on WEA either. It’s around the corner. I had to call them for further directions which was no good. There should be a wind master sign on the sidewalk and clarification on their website.
The workout was great and I will definitely be back.

My whole body is still sore and it’s been like 3 days since I went to class. I’ve done the ³⁰⁄₃₀ Spin/​TRX class and a full 60min of TRX/​Sandbell and these classes are no joke!
The instructors motivate you and push you without being pushy and you are guaranteed a legit workout by the end of your 60mins. This place is pretty out of the way for me (I’m in the 80s on the East side) but I love a workout here so much that I’m willing to take the bus or $ 12 cab ride to come here.
I’m not a huge fan of spin classes and in this case I didn’t feel too differently but the combo of cardio (spin) and strength (TRX) left me feeling refreshed. I’ve only used TRX in limited capacities but the instructors show you how to do each different exercise and will also help you if you can’t get your foot in properly. The 60min TRX class was a lot of core exercises, which was a little difficult for me, but I was still able to do modify movements and get a lot out of class. The sandbells are a little funky to work with because it is a little hard to grab on to, but throwing them on the ground gives you some sort of stress relief!
They have lockers (free locks), towels, and a free water bottle for each workout!

So I’m always concerned when my experience is 100% opposite of most reviews, and I realize reviewing fitness opens me up to a lot of criticism, but this has been on my mind a few days now.
I signed up for TRX. I’ve never done TRX before, but was told by Pedal it was appropriate for all fitness levels. I am moderately fit — I did a 30-​day, 10-​class Classtivity run in Dec/​Jan and survived just fine, including boot camp classes, but admittedly hadn’t exercised in a few weeks. Also, I have annoyingly weak arms — like, if I go too hard, they crap out almost immediately and then suck all my energy out for the rest of my workout. It’s something I want to remedy with exercise, but going 0 to 60 isn’t the solution.
So w/​in about 10 minutes of class, which was 95% arm work, I was beat. Not like, ow it hurts but I can squeeze out one more rep w/​motivation b/​c THINK OF YOUR GOALS. Like, arms spasming, couldn’t bend/​move them properly, couldn’t support my own weight even for a girl-​style push-​up, just pure pain. And I felt like the instructor (Declan?) assumed I was just mentally beat and kept pushing me, even when I made it clear I was in unusually high pain. Rather than helping me modify, he subtly guilted me (sorry I grabbed the 15-​pound bag instead of the 20, but at least it wasn’t 10? No points for that, I guess) and kept pushing me well beyond my limit. It wasn’t until I was literally crying, in front of the class, that he backed off, slightly.
I left the whole experience ashamed, embarrassed, and feeling like a total failure. He tried to show me some inspirational quote after, which to me just showed that he missed the point — I was upset b/​c I felt terrible, physically and emotionally, not that it «hurt.» It’s a really depressing way to leave a class.
Now it’s more than 3 days later and I still can’t move my arms properly — it’s messing w/​my sleep cycle and draining my energy all day. I could just be horribly out of shape and overreacting, but I feel like I did something wrong for it to still hurt this much.
IDK, everyone else seems to love it here, so maybe I’m just a whiny pathetic weakling, but given how bad I felt during and after, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to Pedal.

I did the ³⁰⁄₃₀ Spinning/​TRX class with Mr. Ray on a Saturday.
I like to say — sometimes — that I enjoy working out. I’m an avid runner and try my best to find classes where I see sweat dripping from my nose. It’s a cathartic experience haha. Anyways, this class did it for me. I was efficiently sore for three days and as you all know it’s two days after the workout where it hurts the most. I was so humbled by the experience that I can’t wait to go again!
You’re encouraged to try your best and it’s hard to actually wimp out. There is great camaraderie within the small class size and Mr. Ray is attentive to everyone. I felt safe even though every part of me was like WAIT YOU WANT THREE MORE!!! I learned so many new exercises (and how to do them properly) that I intermix a lot of them into my usual workout routines. Unfortunately it’s not the same doing it alone — because I definitely don’t do the three more :(.
Although the location is a little tough to find and the bathrooms are oddly placed in the other classroom, if you’re into the HIIT workouts, pls give this place a shot!

The TRX classes are fun and challenging and all the equipment is in excellent condition. If I could afford it, I would go all the time. My only wish is for them to have earlier TRX classes — 7am.

With a hashtag like #NoJoke written on the wall, you better believe Mr. Ray is no joke.
I took his TRX class in May and it took me three months to grow a pair and go back. It’s hard. Not impossible. But hard.
The good news is that Mr. Ray is really motivating, plays great music, knows his shit… AND (bonus) the other people who take class are friendly, noncompetitive and really cool. We are truly united in our pain and hatred of Mr. Ray. (Declan is also a sadist… we did three sets of «suicides» running drills at the end of an already hellish TRX/​Kettlebell class. Yes. He. Did.)
But… Do not be intimidated! It’s a friendly setting and you’ll get a great workout.
The only reason I took a star off was for the spin class. I prefer the bikes at FlyWheel with the clip-​in shoes and the torq/​rpm meter. I also think the music gets too loud, but that’s my complaint at all spin classes full of whippersnappers and their new fangled music. Gah!

I usually do the TRX and Kettle bell classes. All the instructors are great and give you a thorough working out.
TRX was definitely not easy but I see the minor and major differences my body is undergoing and it serves as excellent motivation. Ditto the instructors who push you but aren’t mean about it.
I took the ³⁰⁄₃₀ TRX class once with Mr. Ray and it was crazy hard. Haven’t done it again since but I’d recommend to anyone who really wants to challenge themselves.
So glad I joined this gym.

I came back for a spinning class with Declan. The spin room is really great, with lots of natural lighting from the large windows & the mirrors are great so you can see if your form is lacking. Declan was motivating & intense. Within 30 mins of the class, I was nearly dying & drenched in sweat. But I kept moving because Declan was watching me & making sure everyone did not slack off. It was a great sweat session & Declan is super nice. All the PedalNYC people have always been super friendly. I would love to come back again because I’m a glutton for punishment (in a good way). ;-D

This gym is awesome. I found out about it because someone on my facebook was checking in here almost daily — who does that?!
The gym is located a bit out of my normal comings-​and-​goings, but it was so worth it. I went to a ³⁰⁄₃₀ class on Saturday morning and it was phenomenal. First, it was 30 minutes indoor cycling. Brand new Livestrong bikes which felt like they’d never been used before. The seat was in perfect shape (unlike some NYC-​chain gyms, where some larger people really destroy them). The music was great — mix of hip hop and pop. Monster fan that kept everyone cool.
Next up was 30 minutes of TRX. I am a huge fan of TRX and used to go to classes when I lived abroad, but I can’t find classes worthwhile in the city (if you know of any, hit me up). The 30 minutes were intense — I left sore and woke up the next morning even sorer.
All in all, if this gym were located closer to where I lived I’d be there all the time. Maybe when my lease expires???

«Dayummmmm girl, you must work out!» is what I tell myself when I look in the mirror. Ah yes, yes I do.

I love fitness classes– whether I’m at home rocking it out solo (shout out to Billy Blanks!) or I’m at a gym attending a fitness class. You won’t find me at a gym too much though– they’re usually TOO expensive for my tiny NYC budget so I prefer to use NYC as my gym. Unfortunately my boyfriend bought me a 5-​class Groupon to Pedal NYC. He wasn’t calling me fat or anything (like get the hint woman! Lose some pounds!) haha, I asked for it. I say «unfortunately» because I LOVE Pedal NYC.
And yes– it is too expensive for my taste AND they don’t have showers (minus 1 star) but it’s a small but awesome gym with very motivated and motivating instructors who keep you on your feet and help you be a stronger you! I’ve only had 4 classes so far but I’m extremely tempted to purchase a package because of Mr. Ray. He’s a great instructor who’s hands-​on and gives you that motivation to push through!
I just LOVE it all!
Is it difficult? Yes. Not so much the pedaling; if you’re moderately fit you won’t die cycling but the TRX suspension training is a killer– in a great way! You feel stronger just after one week. A feeling that can be quite addictive and keep you coming back for more– despite your muscles screaming «Biotch! YOU CRAY!»
Can’t wait to go back (after I recoup from my bronchitis. EW, I know) and attend one of Mr. Ray’s classes!
