I liked that there was alot of natural light coming in from the window. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the owner Scott who cracked lots of jokes about my 64oz water bottle (it's a huge bottle!) I was acquainted with the studio by Scott and he gave me the run down of membership at the end. Him and the instructor Jay were super great at motivating and modifying workouts and posture throughout the session. There seemed to be a great community here -- everyone was so nice! The place was also really clean and well maintained. Bring your own water bottle 64oz or not -- they have a water station. They also provide microfiber towels and disinfectant spray so you can clean as you go. Additionally parking is free in Alexandria on the weekdays except 4-7pm and F45 has their own dedicated parking space. I was on the fence about F45 but I think after this visit I'm going to join in their 45 day challenge starting 2/5/24! It's a sweaty, fun time here that really makes you feel in shape!

I consistently have an excellent workout here…read more The coaches are all consistently upbeat, nice, and helpful. I like how the coaches make sure form is correct, people push themselves, and workout safely. The workouts are never boring since they are different everyday. The music gets me pumping and the atmosphere is always clean and positive.

The coaches are so positive and motivating, as well as thorough in their pre workout demonstrations and make those small corrections in our movements that make all the difference in our results and the burnnn! The HIIT circuits are setup so nicely, flowing through about 10 different stations and leaving the whole body worked by the end of the class. These classes are pretty solid for building muscle but you're not going to get huge or insanely strong with this style of workout. This will be more for toning muscle/athletic build as well as gaining functionality and work capacity. It's nice that it's all based on time rather than numbers so everybody can go at their own pace. However, if you really want to push yourself as hard as possible, then I'd say this targets the heart and lungs more than anything, and health is what it's really all about. This is even true in the resistance classes, which you always leave with a serious pump. The weights you're using aren't as heavy as CrossFit which mostly allows for you to push yourself in a safer and higher paced manner and there's more variance in exercises and movements than Orange Theory without the concern of running injuries so while all of the big name HIIT enterprises have some advantages, I believe F45 is the best because it has the most well-rounded diverse stimulus mentally and physically and therefore has the most potentially for truly being "in-shape", healthy, functional, and athletic because you're more motivated to consistently train hard and allowed to do so while staying injury free. If I have to knock it I'd say that some of the exercises are more body building oriented (fly's and curls) than I'd like, but most are also performance based. I will also admit, if this were my only training then I'd definitely like to have heavier weights on resistance days because those end up mostly being muscle endurance for me (which ultimately is more important than raw strength if I'm forced to choose). I'd also appreciate a little more sprinting but I know that greatly increases the injury risk so I understand the omission there. Also if there was more space, I would love to incorporate something more explosive like med ball throws and rope climbs. All in all though, considering the energy in there, the results you'll get from start to finish only sacrificing 45 minutes to make the rest of your day better, and possibly even have another little social outlet, this place is great!

Becoming a member at F45 Fairfax Corner has been the best decision I've made in my fitness journey…read more The 2 ultimate factors to why I became a member at Fairfax Corner were the workouts and the coaches. The coaches at Fairfax Corner are some of the most knowledgeable and motivating trainers. They are always eager to help you improve your technique and answer any questions you may have. Shout out to DeAndre, Michelle, Bul, Denzel, Adam, Shannon and Chris! (I know there's coaches I have yet to meet but that's also because they do cardio classes and I'm not there yet. You'll definitely see me sometime soon though!) I think that's what makes Fairfax Corner stand out are the coaches and environment. The coaches take the time to explain the exercises in detail and make sure that you understand what muscles you are working and how to properly perform each movement. They push you to give it your all, but they do so in a way that is encouraging rather than intimidating. They remember our names, our goals, and our fitness levels, and are always willing to offer personalized advice and support. Overall, F45 classes are truly top-notch. If you're looking for a challenging and fun workout that will leave you feeling accomplished and energized, I highly recommend giving F45 Fairfax Corner a try.

My name is Jawad Naderpoor, and I want to share my experience with F45 South Riding…read more I joined F45 about a year ago, and unfortunately, it has been one of the worst experiences of my life. Some of the staff were not polite, respectful, or supportive--instead, they were often judgmental. During my time there, I ended up getting injured, which ultimately required surgery. After that, I decided to discontinue my membership. I reached out by email several times asking them to stop billing me and to credit the months I could not attend. Despite my repeated attempts, they never responded, never called me back, and continued charging me for five months while I wasn't attending. This lack of professionalism and care, both in how they treat members and in how they handle serious concerns, was extremely disappointing. Based on my experience, I strongly do not recommend anyone to join this gym.
