Speakeasy of Strength, Brooklyn NY

Highly recommend for anyone of any experience or skill level! I’ve been going to the Speakeasy consistently for about a year and a half and have never felt so strong.

My first experience was when I was 6 months or so postpartum, and the coaches were wonderful at helping modify the exercises as I built back up my strength.

Now, I love going 1-2x a week and always feel good about making the time. Coaches are kind, fun, and experienced. Small group phase rotation allows you to both learn new things and get comfortable. I like the Zoom option for when I’m traveling.

Easy recommendation to make. Check it out!

Highly recommend for all levels of experience. Coaches very much care about you and teaching proper technique and having fun in the process! Best gym I've been a part of hands down.

It’s a small group, so you’re able to ask questions and get plenty of individual feedback. The workout is challenging with heavy weights but they make it approachable for whatever level you’re at. I’m feeling stronger every time, and I’m constantly learning new things about body mechanics and form. Every coach I’ve trained with has been great and creates a welcoming environment. Definitely recommended!

This is the best small group strength training experience you can find. The coaches all care deeply about supporting you through the 50 minute full body circuit ensuring an efficient workout where you will be challenged but not in pain. The small group size allows for personalized attention where I’m confident my form will be corrected to avoid any injuries. Love that everyone is authentic, playful, supportive, body neutral, and genuinely focused on creating a positive atmosphere that goes against more traditional (aka toxic) fitness culture!

This is the most fun I’ve ever had working out.

I’m a lazy, lazy man and I do not respond at all to the drill sergeant/gym bro vibe but Steve and Co.have honestly done such a great job creating a fun culture and a safe space to work out, get strong and feel mighty

I can’t recommend this spot enough.

Best kettle bell gym for miles. I lost over 20lbs doing classes here and all my lower back pain was cured. Highly recommended. The staff is easy going and the classes are great for all levels of experience.

Best fitness experience I’ve had. Great people who are very attentive to your strength and balance level. You’ll never feel intimidated or left behind.

Came for the two weeks intro small groups classes.
It was a great experience as everyone was nice and very welcoming, highly recommend!
Facilities were clean.

I joined as a New Year's resolution last January, and have really enjoyed my year working with the Speakeasy crew! Supportive and knowledgeable coaches, and a welcoming place for everyone, however fit (or not) you may be at the start. I have definitely noticed improvement in my strength and flexibility since I began.

I LOVE this place. The entire Speakeasy team is fantastic. They are knowledgeable, supportive and fun. A great space to work out at and get stronger and fitter at your own speed. A truly welcoming environment.

I turn 45 later this month, in what has unquestionably been the most challenging and stressful year of my life. But my doctor is very happy with my blood pressure readings and I am stronger than I have ever been, and thanks to Coach Fury and the Speakeasy of Strength I wake up every day ready to absolutely crush whatever lemons life rolls my way.
Fury and his squad of coaches are extremely effective at communicating the what's, why's, and how's of everything you'll do in a well-stocked, comfortable space, and they've built a warm, welcoming community of which I am grateful to be a part.

Great workout routines! Felt like the instructor Fury had a great balance of feedback and validation for my exercises. Very friendly and welcoming environment, highly recommend for people who enjoy a small class setting who want to be part of a wholesome community. Fury was very knowledgeable in our conversation after the workout. Looking forward to my next class there!

Moving to the city, I was worried about finding a new gym I loved as much as my old one. I have been thrilled to my my time so far at the Speakeasy. The staff is warm and knowledgeable and I have not had a bad class experience yet!

The Speakeasy of Strength has been a game-changer for me. In just a few months, I've learned so much and I’ve gained confidence even though I had limited knowledge of strength training prior to joining. Coach Fury, Chloe, Chris & the team are incredibly knowledgeable and actually spend the time to teach me technique. Highly recommend for anyone looking to level up their fitness journey.

I’ve been going to this gym for over a year now, and it is hands down the best. Super strong but low impact which is exactly what I was looking for. My strength and mobility have improved and my body has no more daily aches. Also the gym is awesome, coaches are thorough (and also funny! Big plus for me), and best of all, zero judgement and body neutral. Highly recommend!

You can recognize instantly that this place was built and is run with a soul. Their new space is greatly equipped and welcoming. It's hard not to get motivated the moment you step in. Both coach Fury and Chloe have been thoughtful, fun, attentive, and motivating. I'm sure the rest of their team is too. The size of the small group classes is perfect. You feel in community yet you also get nearly-personal attention and form corrections. They also put attention into making sure you understand why you are doing each movement, stressing scientific soundness and safety. Do a favor to yourself (and a local business), and sign up!

Can't say enough great things about this place. I look better, I feel better.

It's good to have some muscle and I'm no longer a lazy POS. It's because I go here.

Speakeasy of Strength classes give you the personal touch of a trainer at a fraction of personal training cost. They have plenty of timeslots and the classes are always small (8 people max). The workouts are made to fit anyone, with alternate exercises offered and on-the-fly adjustments when it's needed. The workouts are challenging and rewarding.

My favorite is how they're all cool coaches. They're not that gym trainer jock attitude but they still push you enough to see results.

Oh yeah, SOA has zoom classes too.

They just opened a new space and it's great. I've been going there for 1.5 years. I'm not the super workout type but I can say I went from being unhealthy to feeling far better. Consequently, my sleep habits have improved, I drink less, and diet is healthier. That's a consequence of working out, you just want to do better.

The BEST. This is a gym with heart. Trainers are great, attention in small group classes is more than you’ll get at a big box gym, and the routine varies every 4 weeks with increasing difficulty throughout the month. Kettlebells are king! Love it here

This gym is the best! If you’re looking for community and fun while you get strong, sign up for their special deal and you’ll be hooked. I’ve been going for several months now and have learned so many new ways to use kettle bells and trx. The coaches are motivating and flexible - they meet you where you are in your strength journey and work with you if you need any modifications. Classes are never too big so you’ll always get attention and help to ensure you’re moving & lifting safely, with correct form.

Been working out with the speakeasy crew for over a year - all remote over zoom. Great community, and solid kettlebell-based workout structure that allows for continuous growth. I've gone up two weight tiers since I started and their group classes are the part of my fitness routine that have been the most consistent through the pandemic. Highly recommended!
