Recently got to try out F45 for the first time after years of eyeing this gym... and let me just…read moresay... it was well worth the wait! So I recently started a free 2 week trial with Class Pass and saw F45 as one of the gyms available to try out... so I decided to stop by the Lake Nona location for a quick workout. This F45 is located within a strip mall and had a decent amount of parking available around the gym. Upon entering, I was greeted almost immediately and checked in. This spot is pretty spacious and very well lit. The gym is broken up into separate stations with each station having a clear view of the tv which displays the workout needing to be completed. The trainers Leo and Leah were fantastic! They definitely helped with putting me at ease... since it was my first class and all. They did a quick demo of each workout and they also placed me in the same stations as one of the regulars so that they could help me if needed, which I truly appreciated. Overall, I really enjoyed F45! I like the fact that it's a 45 min session each time...and you truly feel accomplished by the end of the work out. I will definitely be back soon to try the other classes!

I was not aware that I had signed up for one of the "tougher" classes, but I completed the class…read moreand can still breathe and am alive enough to type this review. I attended a 3-peat class involving 3 repeats of 10 stations that involved a variety of movements and equipment. The high intensity intervals really work your entire body and get your heart pumping at its limit. Lindsey and Nyna were amazing coaches, and since it was my first time, they provided plenty of encouragement and suggestions for alternative ways to do the activities. It was definitely a challenge, especially for someone like me who only runs and has no arm strength. But I left in a bright mood (from all the endorphins and adrenaline) and knowing I'd become stronger. Apparently the class I took only happens around once a month. They usually have cardio classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and weights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. The facility and equipment were very clean and finding parking was easy. The pricing is not pretty but is as expected for many serious gyms in Lake Nona. It's $65 for two classes every 2 weeks or $180 every 2 weeks for unlimited classes.

I needed someone to guide me back into strength and wellness. Victoria became my cheerleader working towards that hot wedding dress body. With a few simple phone calls, we began my training regiment. We assessed my fitness and nutritional needs. Those first workouts showed how I lacked strength and needed to improve everything. Throughout my summer training with Victoria, I increased my strength and flexibility as well as learned proper nutrition. As a trainer, Victoria is a consummate cheerleader and bulldog wrapped into one. She pushes you to the next level with a bright cheery smile as well as a determination to see you reach your goals. I can't say enough great things about Victoria and my summer training with her. I learned alot about the state of flexibility and diet. I learned to eat better and not deprive myself while still working towards my goals. If you're looking for a skilled, tough, and kind hearted trainer, look no further than Victoria. Thanks to her, I looked hot for my wedding day and was proud of accomplishments. I can look at my wedding pictures and know that with her help, I achieved my fitness and nutrition goals.

Victoria Gray truly embodies quality in every sense of the word. I have a few 'must have's' that I require to even consider someone to be my personal trainer. The first is that they need to have a background in sports medicine because I've had a major injury in the past. This is what initially attracted me to Victoria; however, what impressed me and kept me coming back was how she recognized my injury and ways I was compensating for it and worked with me to strengthen all parts of my body, pushing through predisposed barriers where I would previously favor my injury. I always feel as if Victoria focuses on me as a whole, with physicality only being a piece of the dimension that encompasses my being, in that she is concerned about all aspects of my health. Victoria sets the bar high. She listens to my wants, goals, desires and interests and tailors each workout to my needs, keeping it different and diversified every time we meet. In reality you'll only get out of a trainer as much as you put in. Victoria stands ready to go to the extra mile with you. She shows up eager and consistently gives 110%. I highly recommend her.

I took her to the first class (30 minutes) but was unable to attend 2 classes (1 hour) because of work. 4 of the classes were canceled (2 hours) due to weather - I understand they are trying to keep us safe and this is no fault of the center, HOWEVER they only tell/txt you that the class is cancelled 5 minutes before the start time! So we had to drive over there each time only to be sent away. One of these days the front desk person told me "well, the lightning is technically 12 miles away, and the rules say we have to close the center when it's 10 miles away, but we're just going to close it anyway because it's easier." On the last day of the session they said I had to come in for a single 1 hour 45 minute session to make up all the cancelled time. I feel it is unreasonable to expect a 4-year old with ZERO previous pool experience to attend a class of this length. They were unwilling to schedule any alternatives and I was told I would just lose the money. I called and talked to people in the office twice and was told "oh well, this is how we do it." They have group classes running for 3 more weeks, but even though there are available spaces, they have refused to allow any kind of drop in, even for just one or two classes. Ultimately I feel I have wasted both my time and money here.
