Brooklynites in search of the high-intensity workout known by a first name won’t have to hoof it to Manhattan for much longer.
Barry’s, a fitness chain known for its interval workouts favorited by celebrities like Harry Styles and Victoria Beckham, leased 7,000 square feet to open a gym in Brooklyn Heights, the NY Post reported. It will be the fitness brand’s first foray into an outer borough.
The California-founded firm will span two floors at 200 Montague Street to house its Brooklyn flagship. The newly constructed, 20-story residential building, was co-developed by Midtown Equities and Aurora Capital Associates.
Barry’s already operates gyms in Manhattan, Long Island and Westchester, along with locations in Europe and Australia. The Brooklyn Heights gym is set to open next spring.
