Aqua-studio Reviews

Such a cool and different work out style! Love coming here to mix up my workout routine

Update: After I posted reviews, the owner reached out and offered to reschedule my class with a free water shoe rental. Much appreciated on my end.

Beware of awful customer service! I had a personal emergency this morning and couldn't make class. I finally got in touch with them after calling multiple times and FB messaging, only to learn that a manager wasn't in and they couldn't help me. Then I was told that I would still be charged for my a.m. class and that I couldn't reschedule for later in the day. Ouch. Normally I love going to class here, but for $34/class, I'd expect a little more from them when extenuating circumstances arise. A great workout is awesome, but so is trusting the place where you're working out and spending a lot!

My intro class with Lucie was great. She was quite helpful and the atmosphere was awesome and relaxing. I wish I lived closer so I could come regularly. But I try and work in an aqua cycle class whenever I'm in NYC.

I love doing Aqua Spin classes and this is the only place with it. Most of the teachers are kind and considerate and knowledgeable about what to recommend for people with injuries. The Wellness Director is very good and all the staff seems to know and remember all clients. I'm so happy I found this place!

Moses and Lucie were fantastic! Lucie is mellow and meditative while still working your body. Moses is fabulous for a challenging morning workout.

Feels very expensive and exclusive, greatest showers of any gym I've ever been to

Starting my classes in August. Such great reviews. I have been looking for aqua classes for a long time and ran across this website. I have had back problems for a long time. Now my knees are beginning to hurt and ache.

The overall workout was fun and a good way to have an active recovery day. My two complaints were 1)the size of the pool is way too small to accommodate 12 people doing a circuit class. I accidentally kept drifting too close to the girl on my right only to get glares and my husband left the class with scratches on his arm because people around him had no room to spread their arms. And 2) to echo other reviewers, the facility is not equipped for male attendees.

Easily my new favorite fitness class. As a first timer, I recommend a Blend class with Ed. The workouts offered by AQUA, be it the blend, power, mantra, etc. classes on the bikes or the Plyo Aqua training in the pool all provide you with intense workouts that make it easier on the body as a whole as there is lesser impact when working in the water.

Love this place! The instructors are great, and love all the different classes they have.

Very welcoming for a first timer. Open environment and instructor was helpful and not intimidating! I'd recommend it to friends and plan on returning!

Wonderful instructors, a peaceful, beautiful atmosphere, and a very diverse clientele, which is important to me. Can't recommend enough!

Great workout! I was very confused at what I had to do at first but got the hang of it. I'll return for sure!

Amazing place for aqua cycling! Lots of interesting classes, and more than just cycling!

I have been attending the studio since October 2019. After attending classes about 4-5 times a week, I have lost about 10-15 lbs and feel so good!! In addition, this has been the only workout that I actually enjoy attending and look forward to.

Every time I leave the studio, it feels like I just went to a spa. In addition, their studio manager, Alina, has been very accommodating and ensures that I enjoy my experience. The only thing that is difficult for me to swallow is their cancellation policy (must cancel 24 hours in advance or pay $20 fee). Other than that, a great experience and I talk about it to all my friends and coworkers!!

Good class! Skeptical at first, but actually enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it s DEFINITELY not set up well for men :/

I like Harbor but its time to shout out to management about the absurd and cruel use of a live fish in the women's room in a vase with a bamboo plant. The first one died miserably last week. Many of us complained to management but there is a new fish there now. The poor thing can't even swim horizontally and has very little light. Isn"t this supposed to be a place about health and well-being? Use more plants but why a fish?

Bit tricky to find the entrance (there are two doors marked with the same number - if you're facing it's on the left) - but a beautifully well kept studio with clean, modern facilities. Instructors are friendly and very engaging. Fun workout that isn't too challenging but mixes things up a bit

Great workout. Clean place. Very well maintained. The price is a little high, however, almost every thing is as expensive in nyc. Love the heated pool. It's very easy to book classes.

Very cool workout. Different and unique and challenging. Just be careful you don t over work yourself because you won t think you are working out but you will be SO sore the next day.

It s an understatement to say that I LOVE Aqua Cycling. Aqua Cycling is my new life style. I love every class, always super excited to come here. Although, I have my favorite instructors that I frequent, all the trainers are very different and absolutely fantastic! And I will not even go on about the benefits of water resistance and massage while working out. It s been many years I have been physically active but nothing ever made me this excited to work out.

The aqua cycling class was a great experience nd the instructor was awesome. I would recommend any one to go to AQUA STUDIOS NY.

Clean changing rooms and showers, very nice staff, great instructors.

Aqua is just amazing. Everything about the physical part of the place is gorgeous and spa-like. Beautifully appointed, clean, and calm. But the actual classes are like nothing else. I've taken the INTL SPIN with five different instructors and each one is very different and very good.

The aqua cycling is a bit awkward and my first class I did not shine. But at no time was I made to feel bad for not getting it. I felt welcome and seen. The workout itself is EVERYTHING. It is hard, you feel it, but you don't feel sore and physically strung out. You feel like you had a hard workout, but totally energized. It is a full-body beat down in the best possible way.

There is an incredibly diverse clientele which surprised me given the location. But racially, age, body-type, everything was represented, which just adds to the feelings that this is a great place to be. I COULD NOT RECOMMEND AQUA ANY MORE LOUDLY. This is the place to be.

Took a class with Moses and LOVED it. I went to the class to push my comfort zone, as this IS where the magic happens, right? I have a HUGE resistance to community pools and exercise under water. But, I am SO thankful I did. Going back today and excited to take on an AQUA challenge to explore its health benefits.

Jane was a sweetheart and made my Aqua Studio experience so pleasant. I did my first class, Blend and will definitely return again!

At first I tried it for the so-called "New Year's resolution" but I totally got hooked that I started doing unlimited classes for the past 7 months (so far) and have been coming at least 4-7 times a week! It's becoming part of my daily routine and it has changed my life in such great way. Everyone is really friendly and has different teaching style. It's good to take several classes a week to mix things up!

Great experience in the pool with instructor. The changing room is a little small tho. Overall I felt so good when I came out... rejuvenated! That s the word.

This is an interesting workout. I took the beginner Blend course and it felt like an active recovery the entire time. I think this would be a good workout after a long run. The bikes don't have any gears or resistance, so this won't offer any lower body work in my opinion. I was surprised by the core exercises that presented a real challenge. The place is clean, but there isn't a locker room for men. You can shower poolside and then change in the bathroom. If you're in a rush, it's best to shower quick and get to the restroom first. All in all, something fun to do.

I would be going to WAY more classes if the majority of classes weren t women only. With the women only classes, different type of classes and, of course, different times, it s nearly impossible to find a class you like and fits your schedule. I have several male friends who have expressed the same frustration

I took a Blended class on a Sat. I got there late. It is important to arrive early so your bicycle seat. While the instructor was teaching, another woman helped me. However she adjusted my seat too high. I couldn't do some of the exercises the same as the other women & that was annoying. The instructor should have came in the water and checked everyone's form. Plenty of instructors walk around during classes and check to make sure a person's form is correct to prevent injury. We did arm exercises which helped me relieve some stress. She had us get off the bike to work our abs. The bike did give us cardio. I had 2 stop a few times because I am out of shape and Blended class does work all your muscles groups. The instructor asks was I enjoying the class and I said, " Glad, I tried something new, but I won't be back." She told me to talk after class. Once it was over the instructor adjusted my seat, had me do more exercises and reminded me to come early. I liked her extra attention & professionalism. I spoke with women in the locker room who were from different ages, sexual orientation,economic background and races. We were ALL just chit chatting and discussing the class. One woman told me she treats herself to a class twice a month. I really enjoyed the ENERGY. Women bonding after releasing stress. The locker room was clean. No one took anyone's belongings. It was beyond a beautiful experience for me. I like Henny who sits at the front. I took off a star because I had problems logging into account & the instructor should have checked all of our forms to prevent injury. I had so much energy after soaked in my tub that I decided to do like the woman who spoke to me. I will treat myself to classes, so obviously I enjoyed the workout and I love the water. I recommended this class to family & friends.

Life changing. I m just starting, but addicted. Every class, pleasure or pain, lol, is completely worthwhile in releasing tension or yielding results. Need low to no impact due to aging, weight, or injury? Need a massage without going to just get a massage 3-4 times a week? Need the benefits of the beach in NYC in the wintertime? Take a class. Trust me.
