“Our signature workout and philosophy hasn’t changed since we opened our first studio in LA in 1998 – because it works. The endurance and mental stamina you get from a Barry’s class gives you the tools to take on anything you set your mind to. It helps you build resilience and confidence, and most importantly, it’s fun. This is why our clients in Liverpool come back time and time again.
“Our community here is the most important thing to us, a value that we share with BTR Liverpool.”
