BFX Studio – FiDi

One of my favorite things about coming to this studio is the personal attention and intimate environment. Many gyms are impersonal, but here at BFX, it feels like they take a personal interest in your needs/​goals. I especially love taking Juan’s classes. He pushes you past your comfort zone but in a way that is productive, energizing and helpful. Can’t wait for my next BFX class!

I love this studio! I take the fusion class with Heather and I feel so accomplished every time. It’s 30 minutes spin 30 minutes calisthenics, TRX, weighted bags with explosive movement like what you do w kettle bells. Heather is intense, supportive and motivating.
The studio and locker rooms a very clean and well stocked. I don’t use the showers there but there is plenty of space and lighting if I needed to get ready for work.
I’m excited to try barre and boxing there.

Came here to take BFX burn and I will be back. The studios are very nice and clean. Locker room area is spacious.
I took the class with Juan and he is a great instructor. Got an amazing workout with him. He walks around the class to help with form and gives some encouragement throughout but definitely is not the type to stand over you and and yell to make sure you complete a set. The workouts are simple enough in the class I took but it’s the environment and the encouragement that keeps you going. You kind of want to finish and want to get through the rounds to feel good.
I will definitely take another class here. It’s 3 days later and I can still feel it, which is a good thing of course. The burn is definitely worth it. Work through it.

Reposting. Unilocal removed my comment as I gave them 5 stars and it was my first review.
So much to love about BFX FiDi — where do i begin? I have the «Unlimited Classes» at BFX and have taken most of the classes offered (Fusion, Barre, Burn, Build) with most of the instructors there. I’ve been going since the FiDi location opened up. Before I go into a review about one of my favorite instructors, a few things about the studio itself. Clean locker rooms, well-​maintained shower stalls, shampoo/​conditioner/​body wash, deodorant, fresh towels. I’ve been so spoiled with the cleanliness/​amenities that if I go to another gym (usually with a friend), I’m disgusted at how dirty some of these other gyms can be. The staff there are so friendly and know me by name — that may be because I go 3−4x a week…
I like most of the instructors — everyone has a different style of teaching but for the most part, everyone is energetic and gets you pumped to work hard. I’ve been a huge fan of Juan’s since I first started at BFX — this guy is out to get you, i swear. earlier this week, I took his Burn class (HIIT) and it was all tabata sets. 20 secs of all you got followed by 10 secs of rest (10 secs sounds good, right? Hardly.) My muscles were shaking by the end of the class.
He mixes up his workouts, pushes you (or rather, picks on you), turns up the resistance on your spin bike (cause he knows you can do better). His energy in class is contagious and it’s always a good time.
Bottom line, if you want a good workout, give BFX a go — you really can’t go wrong!

I’ve been going here since they first opened about 3 months ago — a member with their Unlimited Class Pass. I go 2 – 3 times a week and have tried out most of the classes they offer: Build, Burn, Box & Bell, Fusion, Barre, PTC, Mat Pilates (this is at Chelsea location).
My go-​to classes are:
— Burn usually with Juan (but have also taken classes with Claire and Melissa). I like how each instructor has their own workout sets but the structures are the same. I personally like when routines and structures alternate. When Juan introduced Burn 2, it was a killer, but welcome, change. Can’t wait to experience what they think of next!
— Fusion with Juan or Roberto. Instructors are very encouraging throughout the class and boy do I need it during the Spin portion. They also go around the class correcting or praising form. Like for Burn, I love it when the format changes — keeps my mind and body on point.
— PTC with Roberto — a great class to mix up my work-​out routine and use the studio machines
— Mat Pilates with Kevin for the great ab work — not just because of his humor.
These are my primary classes/​instructors since they fit best with my schedule. Everyone that works here is really chill and friendly so I’m always really excited to go — even though I’ll be in pain later. It hurts so good!

Found this gym through Classpass and have to give credit where credit is due… The facilities are amazing, locker room was spacious and class was great. I took the Skillz class with Andrew and it’s all about form and learning the basis of strength training, which I needed! can’t wait to try more classes.

I love working out at BFX fidi! The gym itself is sleek and modern, while the studio has clean and swanky equipment (mats, sand bags, weights, TRX ropes). I’ve never been to the Chelsea location, but I love that the fidi location is always empty! Nice fluffy towels available for use and multiple automatic water filling stations. I’ve done the BFX Barre, BFX Fusion, BFX burn classes. All of them are great work outs and I always feel extra sore the next day. Not sure about the others, but the BFX fusion class uses a projector to display the workouts of the day – a clever presentation compared to on a white/​blackboard. Heather is an amazing instructor. She is encouraging and inspiring while not annoying over the microphone (one of my pet peeves). The spacious locker rooms are stunning with lots of mirror space, blow dryers and other amenities.

This place is fabulous — the space, classes, instructors and locker room! Highly recommend BFX FiDi!

My office moved downtown around the same time this FiDi location opened so it could not have worked out better!
I’m a big fan of their Chelsea location and I’m happy to report the FiDi also does not disappoint. Very clean and spacious. Great locker-​rooms that are stocked with everything you could need to freshen up after your workout. Multiple automatic water bottle filling stations as well. Tons of towels everywhere. Smaller gym equipment area for private training and/​or working out on your own. I have never seen more than 1 or 2 people using it at a time though.
I’ve done BFX Barre, BFX Fusion, BFX Burn and BFX Box + Bell. All great workouts and instructors.
One complaint I have is that I HATE the locks that come on their lockers. I’m accepting I will never understand how to use them and constantly need to grab a master key from the front desk. I’ve left my locker unlocked a few times as well and have never had any issues. That is not a challenge to try to find which locker is mine :)

Anyone looking for a great workout class in a smaller setting — this is your place!
I am the type who cannot just go to the gym to work out and much rather go to a class, and I have been lucky to find BFX. I got a deal where I bought 5, got 2 for free, and an extra first class free (everyone gets first free) which came out to be a great deal!
I have taken a variety of classes with a variety of instructors and love them all. The instructors are extremely helpful, know you by name, and there are sometimes when there will be two of them (Burn class for example) so they can provide enough attention to each person and correct form. They all have great attitudes and are very motivating (instead of just yelling at you).
The facility itself is absolutely incredible. Super clean and modern and with every amenity you could possibly need to get ready to go to work. Fancy-​pants gluten free shampoos, great blowdryers, excellent pressure in the extremely clean showers, spacious locker rooms, etc.
I almost hate myself for writing this review because I don’t want them to get overcrowded, as it is such a great experience to be there now. But I want to give credit where it is due, and BFX definitely deserves it!

I took my first class at BFX FiDi, which was the BFX Fusion. I am an avid gym-​goes, but this was my first «spin» class (the spin portion was the first 30 minutes, while the strength training portion was the last 30 minutes). i had heather as an instructor, and she was EXTREMELY helpful and willing to assist me in setting up my bike, and I loved that the class was so small. She had 3 of us start on bikes and 4 of us start on the floor with weights, and then switch halfway through. My only complaint with this was that we had a bit of a pause in the middle when she had to set up the bikes again, which did cause the class to go over by about 10 – 15 minutes. No biggie for me though, since my office is right around the corner.
The studio was extremely clean, and you could tell that all the equipment — sand bags, TRX ropes, weights, matts — were brand new. I thought the class was very unique in that in used two different kinds of workouts, and Heather was really encouraging– using her microphone to compliment people by first name, which she memorized int he first 3 minutes of class. If she had a correction for you, she moved her mic away from her mouth and told you personally.
The rest of the facility is gorgeous, especially the women’s locker room. There were more than enough showers, lockers, and space to get ready, and you the lockers come with pads on them– no need to bring your own. The best part, in my opinion, was the organic shampoo and conditioner they have for you in the showers. They smell SO GOOD. Of course there is plenty of mirror space, towels, and blowdryers available as well. Overall this was a great experience, and while it is pricey, it’s definitely worth it!

5 stars for Claire. I absolutely love taking her Build classes. She is so encouraging and upbeat at 7 in the morning and genuinely tries to get to know everyone in the class. One of the nicest and sweetest instructors ever! She is a big fan of the TRX bands (an equipment I am still trying to master) and incorporates them in all her classes. Her workouts will wake you up and leave you ready for the day. Her classes are my favorite at BFX.

I’ve taken two Burn classes at the FiDi location, and it’s a great workout if you enjoy interval training: a mix of kettlebell and dumbbell lifts, mountain climbers, squat jumps, lunges, the works! This location has a leg up over the Chelsea one because it’s newer and more spacious, so I never felt crowded.
Is it as original or amazing as other strength/​HIIT studios I’ve discovered on ClassPass? Not necessarily. But it’s consistently hard, and I know I’ll be challenged whenever I go. Instructors are ON YOU (constantly watching/​cheering) so I feel motivated to give it my all. On top of that, the facility is really nice and clean, and I love the water stations. However, «Pretty Hurts» has got to be the worst tagline for a fitness studio.

Pretty good spin workout. The hill intervals were kindof long/​not much variation. Not too much other choreography (I like going up and down and forward and back and doing more core work). No arm work/​weights. Instructor (Eniko) gets a B/​B-​. She gave weird countdowns where she would start counting up, then down, or down, then up. The facilities are still very new and nice. The locker room was great — I think 2 or 3 showers with lots of amenities. Water bottle filling stations were right in the lobby on the way to all the classes. The spin class was set up a bit weird — small stadium style but the instructor was in the middle of an expanse of floor so it felt like a big empty vacuum, not a room full of energy.

Took my first class (BFX Build) here this morning and love it.
Great location. Moderately friendly front desk staff. Über clean facility.
The teacher was a few minutes late — no biggie to me — and was so apologetic which made me feel good as most instructors could care less. At the end of class she gave the all 7 of us a pass for 1 free class. Not necessary but I’ll take it.
The workout was awesome. Essentially it’s a HIIT class using TRX quite a bit.
Spacious women’s locker room — 7 showers, 3 or 4 bathroom stalls (can’t remember), tons of counter space and tons of lockers — no need to bring a lock.
I will definitely be back!!!

I tried BFX FiDi location only when it first opened. I really enjoyed the space and the classes it offers. All the instructors and employees were attentive to their students/​customers when it came to correcting their form to locating where certain equipment was. There are so many great group classes to try. I recommend their spin classes and kickboxing classes. I had no problems; just be prepared to work.
The shower/​locker rooms are always stocked, clean, and spacious. No need for locks as their lockers have installed locks. There are tons of towels and mirror space with hair dryers provided. The shampoos/​conditioners there are also special and organic, so no need to bring your own.

While I am still glowing from my Ride Republic class (read: private session) with Colin at 6 AM this morning (Thursday), I thought it appropriate to write a review of BFX #fidi.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff, the facility and the classes offered at BFX. I am currently an «Unlimited Class Pass» holder which allows me the opportunity to take an unlimited number of classes (hence the name) — I emphasize this because with a number of other gyms out there charging $ 30 — $ 40 a session with no unlimited option available, BFX fits me to a T.
Let’s start with the friendly staff — I am alway greeted by name, signed in and treated with a level of customer service that I sincerely appreciate. The facility is brand new, and I personally shower here now more than I do at my own home! The products are great, the space is clean and the workout rooms themselves check all the «state-​of-​the-​art» boxes.
Last, but not least, let’s talk about those XPERTS — I take — and look forward to — Ride Republic class with Colin (Thursdays), Fusion with Heather (Tuesdays) and Box and Strength with Hollywood (Wednesdays), Claire is also Xceptional, Babe. Barre with any of the XPERTS is great and I have yet to leave a class feeling as though I haven’t worked every muscle (in addition to your mind). They are well trained and it shows. The sessions are well thought out and the music keeps me motivated. I could go on and on, but it’s worth your time to check out a class. (First one is free at the moment I am writing this!)
Fun facts: Because the gym is new to FiDi the morning class sizes are often small and can often be private sessions. Take. Advantage. Additionally, even if the class size is small you will be treated with the level of professionalism of a full class — which I believe is the definition of great training and amazing people.

I’ve been to BFX Studios twice this last week, and I definitely get a great workout every time I visit. Additionally, the facility is very clean with complimentary towels and lockers provided. So far, I have taken the BFX Build with Laticia and the BFX Fusion with Juan.
Both classes really pushed me and I appreciated the encouragement the instructors gave me. They’re extremely helpful when it comes to giving tips on how to improve your form.
For BFX Build, the class is almost like a group circuit class with stations comprised of lunges, push-​ups, bicep curls, TRX chest press, TRX tricep curls, burpees, and kettle bell swings. It’s really a full body workout, and I definitely felt it the next day which is a great sign! :)
For BFX Fusion, the class is split between sort of the same movements as BFX Build and cycling. The class will be split into two groups: bike riders and floor people. The bike riders will be given cues for RPM changes and suggestions in dialing up or down in resistance. Meanwhile, the people on the floor will perform sort of the same full-​body workout moves like the BFX Build class in a circuit-​style fashion too. Halfway through the class, the floor people and the cyclists will switch places. It’s a great workout that helps bring in more diversity of exercises.
Overall, I really enjoy BFX Studio and hope to try out their BFX Barre and BFX Burn classes next time. It’s super close to where I work, so it’s a great gym option for anyone who works in the FiDi area!
