Luxury gym studio Barry’s, which is based on the fifth floor of Liverpool’s FLANNELS department store, is launching a new ‘matchmaking’ service for gymgoers who are looking to find new friends to compete with in a fitness challenge.<\/p>\n

The gym chain’s new All Stars challenge is running across all Barry’s gyms worldwide until May 3 with the aim of “sparking both competition and camaraderie within the fitness community”. The challenge encourages Barry\u2019s clients to complete a set number of classes in 30 days – but, for the first time, participants will take on the challenge as part of a group.<\/p>\n

Participants are invited to form a team of either two or four people with sign-ups open<\/a> from now until April 21. Teams of two will set themselves a goal of completing 20 or 40 classes and teams of four will aim to complete either 40 or 80 classes.<\/p>\n

Teams that complete the challenge will win prizes ranging from a Stanley cup to a Barry\u2019s All Stars Bomber Jacket. Each finisher also receives double stars in the brand\u2019s loyalty programme, The Academy, for classes taken during the challenge.<\/p>\n

For Barry’s clients who don’t have a team of four, Barry\u2019s has launched a new matchmaking service designed to help people find their team members. Clients are invited to fill out a form<\/a> so the Barry\u2019s team can find the best match for participants across its UK studios.<\/p>\n

One of the things Barry’s gyms are best known for are the Fuel Bars inside each studio, which offer a menu of protein shakes for gymgoers to refuel after their classes.<\/p>\n

As part of the challenge, protein brand HERMOSA <\/a>has partnered with a self-development coach and “manifesting expert” called Roxie Nafousi, to create a limited edition ‘Confidence’ shake. The limited edition drink was also created to promote Ms Nafousi’s new book.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the classic flavours of a cinnamon bun, the shake blends HERMOSA<\/a> vanilla protein, coconut milk, creatine, cinnamon, almond butter and ice to create a shake that mimics the taste of the sweet treat.<\/p>\n

A vegan option is also available, and clients at Barry\u2019s Liverpool can pick up the limited edition shake until the end of the month, with prices starting from \u00a37.<\/p>\n

All Barry\u2019s memberships and class packages qualify for the All Stars challenge.<\/p>\n

Barry’s Bootcamp opened its Liverpool studio in 2022 and regularly runs challenges for clients, as well as offering limited edition items at the Fuel Bar.<\/p>\n

At the start of the year, the gym ran a Find Your Strength challenge<\/a>, which tasked gymgoers to take either 10 or 20 classes in 30 days, from Monday, January 13 until Tuesday, February 11.<\/p>\n

Customers who completed the 10 class challenge received stars in the brand’s loyalty programme, plus a free long-sleeved tee. Those who completed 20 classes received even more stars and a hoodie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barry’s Bootcamp opened its Liverpool studio in 2022 and regularly runs challenges for clients 11:39, 08 Apr 2025Updated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4322],"tags":[1630,105,6513,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-9582","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-fitness","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-health-and-fitness","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114316837241675557","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
