I just joined Exhale after going to three classes through my Classpass membership. I fell in love with this gym and joined immediately. The location is perfect, the space is beautiful, barre classes with Fred have been amazing but the yoga needs some discipline. I have yet to take a yoga class at this gym where people aren't leaving early. It's just rude and disrespectful on all counts. When I asked the front desk what the policy is about leaving early they said there was nothing they could do. I disagree. At nearly $300/month you can kindly ask members who plan to leave early to take a spot in the back of the room and you can take a pause before beginning savasana to give people who plan to leave early time to do so. The end of class is the most important part of class. It shouldn't be hurried or polluted by the selfish actions of members who don't take their practice seriously or who put their time above everyone else's.

Very nice facility. Clean shower, lockers, and towels. They had everything you would need.
Took a noon barre class here on a lunch break via classpass.
Facility is nice, locker room and shower situation is up to standard. Class was OK. Not what I entirely expected. Loved the focus on what exact muscle groups were activated for each move, the instructor was super knowledgeable. I forget his name. He provided limited modifications and individual pointers, but was overall motivating and really into what he was doing.
My real gripe was that a class flooded in immediately after my class. I watched a Woman grab all the equipment I had just used, and I was never give a chance to clean it at all. No time for a cleaning crew to come in and disinfect a single thing any one of us just sweat all over. Including an ab mat we laid down on after working up a sweat, a ball we wedged between our thighs to workout with, and stretch bands we used for resistance.
At many other barre facilities give you a wet nap to wipe down the items you use to workout with, none of that occurred here. You just don't know what anyone's cleanliness situation is. And you're certainly paying for a good, hard, clean workout.
Just my two sense.
Loved that the studio had some bright open windows in the ceiling making it super bright and airy. Big space. Not on top of other fellow classmates.

The front desk ladies are very unfriendly. No effort to even try to be nice or welcoming.

I go here for the flow & chill class because I'm a fan of this class (especially when Stefanie is teaching!) Exhale is newly renovated with new check in desk, floors, paint, and what not. Love the new changes!

I am from London, I visited Exhale last month on my trip to NYC and this is hands down the best spa in the city. Not only are the spa services excellent, but I also loved the barre and yoga classes too (great visitor package available).
They also sell a good range of lounge and yoga wear - great quality!

Told us to show up 15 minutes early, and then moved the class time 45 minutes later without any notification... not very respectful of our time.
I never write reviews, but am compelled to do so after what I deem the most horrible spa experience. I was visiting NYC to celebrate my 40th birthday with family and friends. You can imagine how thrilled I was when my sister in law presented me with a gift certificate to Exhale. As a mom of 3 young children, I am more than happy to indulge in some rare relaxation. I arrived at the spa 20 min ahead of my appointment. When I checked in, I was given some paperwork to fill out and then return once complete. I was also asked if I had been to the spa before, to which I clearly responded "No." The check in person simply nodded. I was a little puzzled by the lack of warm reception and lack of tour but I figured this was par for the course as the check in area was very busy and filled with a large crowd (? a barre class that had recently finished their class). It was noisy, busy and it made me wonder if this was truly a spa. Certainly not like any other spa I have ever checked in to. I returned my completed paperwork after 10 min and was barely given any acknowledgement. I sat in the entrance on their round bench for the next 30 min, wondering why I the massage therapist was running so late. At this point, I was the only person left in the reception area and was seated in front of the check in desk. I sat facing the desk for 30 min and could not have been missed. I eventually went up to the desk and asked how much longer the massage therapist would be. The woman looked completely shocked that I was there and said "The massage therapist has been looking everywhere for you." Huh? I completed my paperwork and had been sitting there for the past 30 min facing the desk. I couldn't be more visible unless I had a neon sign over my head. The massage therapist promptly came out and said "I'm sorry, but I have to take 30 min off of your massage because you were late." Excuse me???!!! I arrived 20 min early. She then explained that I would not be charged the full amount for a massage. I responded by telling her that I didn't care for the charge as this was a gift certificate. She told me "Well, then this will benefit the gift giver." I was absolutely floored. It was suggested that "maybe you return at a later date or later time." Sorry, but as a busy working mom of three young children, I don't have the luxury of returning on a whim. Never, ever ever have I received such dismissive and unapologetic service. I promptly left and never received any services. I had to take a 30 min walk back to my hotel in 7 degree weather as I couldn't find a cab on such a cold, January day. Brutal. Save your money and your time and go to a spa that is professional and leaves you feeling relaxed, not fuming. Also, I have to comment that the check in area has an awful atmosphere--unless your looking for the feel of grand central station in a spa. Based on other reviews of the spa, I can see I am not the only customer to deal with such unprofessional, uncaring staff. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Changed the class time without any notification... not very respectful of our time.
If I can give less stars I would. My husband booked a massage for himself and for me a prenatal massage. We were booked for 530 and showed up at 530 on the dot due to traffic. The massage therapist made a comment on the way in about being tight on time and having another client right after me. I didn't think much of it and went to change VERY QUICKLY feeling like I was going to get into trouble for taking too long! I used the restroom and the massage therapist took me to the room. After explaining some things and signing a consent I told her I have to use the bathroom again. Mind you I am 8 months pregnant. My bladder is not under my own control at this point. This is where I went wrong. The look on her face said it all. How dare I have to use the restroom. She walked me back to the bathroom which was on the other side of the facility. Did they really think it was a good idea to put a pregnant lady so far from the bathroom for an hour massage?????
When I came back she told me I would not be getting my full 60 minutes but I would be charged for it anyway. I said that was completely unacceptable and rude. I went to the manager in horror that she was acting this way and he confirmed that I would not be getting the full 60 minutes due to their busy schedule.
I responded by telling them it was their fault for not accommodating for a pregnant woman considering I was already paying more for a prenatal massage. They said my time slot was 530-630 and i told them no I am paying for a 60 minute massage not a time slot.
I asked for a refund and they refused. Then they told me they would give me my 60 minutes after i started a fuss. As if I wanted that woman to touch me at this point. I was enraged. Heart pounding, crying,
lightheaded, and could barely catch my breath from being treated this way.
Eventually after numerous exchange of words they refunded me. I asked them to tell my husband I wasn't getting a massage. Which they didn't. So after all this I had to sit for an hour and wait for him.
I have gotten prenatal massages before and never been treated this way. I hope they will never ever treat another woman so disrespectfully when they are coming to relax and unwind.
If you are paying for 60 minutes you should get your 60 minutes. I understand its a business to them but it is meant to be relaxation for us. I shouldn't have to worry about holding in my pee to get a massage. They should get all their licenses taken away and shut down for treating an 8 month pregnant woman this way. And on top of it didn't even call my husband when I asked them to.
BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!!
My favorite spa! It's so nice and always a great and luxuriating experience. Try the Barre classes with Nicole. She is one of the best instructors and always makes you feel good. Alexander is also great- he's tough but will push you to do your best! Highly recommend the massages here.
Excellent instructors, very nice facilities and amenities. Some what expensive but that's par for the course with barre classes, and they do offer specials from time to time.
I came for the first time on a visit to NY and joined a Barre class. Exhale South Central Park is in a great location, really easy to find and with a welcoming entrance. This carried on to the friendly staff at reception who showed us to very clean & well equipped changing areas, with lockers, towels & products to use. The Barre class itself was great fun and a wonderful workout. The instructor was welcoming to all, took time to explain the moves whilst keeping a great pace to the class. I would highly recommend Exhale classes to both complete beginners/newbies or those looking for something more challenging, as the class was able to accommodate all.
this is an absolutely amazing place. I love their barre and yoga classes!!
Happy I took the yoga class in this somewhat ritzy area but I have had better and worse experiences. The instructor was just OK. The yoga studio was nice and clean but the people seemed to be regulars and I felt a little uncomfortable but still got a good workout.
The most beautiful yoga studio I've ever been to. Loved my experience here and would love to come back.
Love this place. All instructors motivate you to do better.
