This was my first time at this F45 location, second time attending a Mont Blanc Monday workout. However, I really liked this studio much more than the first one I visited. 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! read more

See all

I consistently have an excellent workout here. 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. read more

Great community... I cant see myself go back to non-f45 way of training... fine studio, good trainer, the old trainer is spooky, but other than this, good. read more

I floated around at nearly every single gym in Alexandria and Arlington for over a year looking for the perfect experience. I found it here! So many of these franchise gyms are the same. But not here. I honestly feel like I have my own set of personal trainers working for me here! Always looking out for me and making sure I am doing exactly what I need to be doing. I have no doubt that they are invested in my fitness and personal journey! read more

I tried F45 Old Town, Alexandria after failing for weeks to work toward my personal fitness goals. To ease into the process, I took advantage of a one-week free trial offer available to residents of Alexandria (with valid identification). Initially, I was filled with trepidation, but I knew something had to be done -- not only is summer season (bathing suits and the less is more clothing season) but my health was being impacted signficantly by the lack of physical activity. Not a fan of exercise, the F45 objective was easier to embrace and results were almost immediate for me. I felt better, I gained more energy and the flexible class schedule allowed me to get my work out in around the demands of my day. With no one class being the same, the variety offered does not permit you to get bored. The classese, the instructors even the other gym patrons were supportive and encouraging. The gym provided an inclusive environment no matter your level of fitness. The instruction was personalized to your individual level of productivity. I cannot wait to go back and take advantage of the supportive network that is offered so that I can meet my physical fitness goals. read more

Disclaimer: I came for one class. I've never been a huge gym-workout fan, as I prefer running, biking, and team sports, but I have been checking out some local gyms and giving it a chance. One thing I'm really looking for is no-drama, no-pressure, and consistent. The two trainers who helped with the class were fine, in particular the one young man was excellent - doing each exercise with me and helping me through it. The other trainer said it was only his second class as a trainer there. I appreciated his enthusiasm, but I didn't appreciate his touching - he slapped me on the back maybe every ten minutes. The class itself was a tough workout - it's not really geared toward people who aren't familiar with the equipment. You can't see the instructional screens from across the room because of beam in the middle, and if the one trainer hadn't held my hand through the class I would not have known how to do half the activities at all, or any of them correctly. Then afterwards came the pressure. The lady (co-owner, maybe?) asked me probably half a dozen times to sign the paper committing to enroll in a membership. I said I wanted to go home and think about it and sign up online if I was interested. She was relentless. And then the newbie trainer wanted to talk to me about "nutrition" and needing to buy it from them (powders and whatnot). No thanks. Anyway, I won't be going back. Maybe this is a great place for serious athletes to step up their game, but it's an expensive, stressful experience for someone just looking for a sweaty, reliable hour in the gym. read more

I have no words to express gratitude for Scott exceptional Master in this business. The vibe and how fun and at the same time serious on your physical and emotional health was great. This place transform not just bodies but lives. My daughter Valeria Naroe 25 and me 56 F45 brought out the best of us. The lay out of the screen as well as the specific stations are located in the way you can actually see perfectly the right way to do the exercise not counting the professionals that are around you helping you and giving you the support you need. F45 is more than a gym is a way to fulfill your life. Love it!!!! read more

F45 Training Old Town, Alexandria - Circuit Training Gyms Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Really great gym with great people! Scott and Jordan are the main trainers here and they always make sure you're doing the exercises correctly to get the most out of them and not hurt yourself. Each class is only 45 minutes and every time it's a different set of exercises and movements. I enjoy the classes immensely and they foster a positive environment of can-do attitude and challenging yourself to be progressively better and stronger. The other members are also very friendly and enthusiastic and will all high-five each other at the end of every class. It's a great community of healthy-minded people. read more

Definitely give F45 a shot... my wife and I were hooked after the first class! I have a fairly extensive background in workouts, having tried a little of this and a lot of that. I have discovered that I am not a big fan of group workouts... cadence-driven workouts leave me feeling like I have little room to scale back or ramp up my workout based on either my ability level or energy level for that day. F45's time-based workouts, however, allow you to push yourself or reign yourself in as you see fit. The workout itself consists of two cardio and two resistance days, with 2-3 hybrid cardio-resistance days. I have been going, on average, twice a week for about 6 months and do not remember having the same workout twice; either the individual exercises or the timing (work-to-rest ratio) changes, keeping your body guessing every time you go in. I think this could be a great all-around workout routine by itself for somebody trying to move past just the very basics of working out. For those serious about fitness: this is a fantastic workout to supplement your other routines, be it adding a little resistance for those focused on running or body weight workouts, or adding a bit cardio for those seriously focused on throwing weight around (I fit more into the latter than the former). read more

Awesome workout. Trainers were all in shape, extra friendly and motivating. Workouts were hardcore but they made it interesting by switching up the workouts every 45 seconds. Tvs of the timers and workout examples were posted around the room to guide you through the training. Cross between crossfit and orange theory. read more

I've been a member of F45 since it opened last April and I have to say it was, and continues to be, the best all around workout I have ever done. I have tried every program, Orange, Crossfit etc. and none stack up to F45. I joined because I thought if it's good enough for Hugh Jackman, it's good enough for me! Boy was I right. The staff is great, the owners are there and engaged with their clients, and each day the workouts are so different, you never get bored. The 45 minutes go back so fast because you are already changing stations. read more

AMAZING full-body workout. You never do the same exercises twice. It's like personal training in a group atmosphere because you have several trainers watching your form, encouraging, and praising you along the way. For those who are nervous to exercise in front of others, it's no sweat (no pun intended)- nobody's paying attention to what you're doing because you're so focused on the screens on the wall (that display the timers and examples of the exercises you're currently doing). I also really like how certain days are weight/strength-focused and others are cardio- it's a great mix and you never get bored. I actually LOOK FORWARD to getting up early and working out, now! read more

A great workout every time I go! The facility is clean, nice equipment, and great trainers.

I'll begin by mentioning that I've found found F45 in Old Town to be the most high impact, tailorable/modifiable, productive and challenging workout regimen I've experienced since moving to the Old Town Alexandria area over 5 years ago. To substantiate that statement, I served 7 years as a Marine Infantry Officer, was a multi-sport, college athlete and have tried/regularly participated in a variety of local workout options (Sport & Health, Crossfit, etc) F45 opened down the street from us in late May'17. My wife, also a college athlete, and I did a free trial of one week. The classes were challenging and fun. Ultimately, I decided not to commit to a membership due to the cost and wrote a review accordingly. However, recently they've modified their pricing structure. My wife has since invested in a 10 class pass. Her workout experiences at F45 during July'17 have been demanding and productive. After class, we would have conversations about the workout; level of instruction, proactive engagement from the staff, and rigorous, self-modifying (via weight or repetition) exercise routine. This is what encouraged me to give F45 another shot. I purchased a 2 class deal via the Mind and Body app (2 for 1 at $14 per class). I thoroughly enjoyed the two classes. They were distinct from each other and I found them challenging in different ways. I recognized that the owner, Scott, and his team of instructors, aspire for an excellent customer/athlete experience. They do this in class by being proactive with each athlete and offering corrective instruction without being overbearing or arrogant. They also support the athletes during the workouts by adding/removing weights to optimize the time working out. Additionally, while training classes are ongoing, they ensure towels & water are accessible and equipment is orderly, clean and sanitary. All the while playing great music (on the weekends, they bring in a DJ). I find the addition of music enhances the experience. Scott & Team at F45 are very open to input and feedback from their clients. They want to ensure a positive experience. As a result, the athlete experience is superior to any other regimen in which I have participated. I decided to purchase the maximum membership plan. Anyone exploring physical fitness options in the area should explore F45. It will not disappoint. read more

Scott & his team do an amazing job creating a fun, high energy environment that makes you want to work hard every time you step into the gym! I am retired college athlete that needed to reignite their passion for training hard with a purpose & F45 was the ticket. I cannot express my gratitude enough, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

These guys are friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, and the consistency of the training schedule makes it easy to fit into my workout plan everyday or not. It's actually light enough in the studio to see what you're doing (contrast to OT) but not so bright your self conscious. I'd maybe go for a wider range of music selections, but otherwise awesome addictive and helps you get it done read more

Excellent trainers and hard/challenging workouts! I really love this place and the workout programing.

F45 is an excellent fitness program. It is for all fitness levels. Jordan, Liz, and Scott will make sure you meet your fitness goals.

Just got back from my first ever F45 class and it was awesome! I brought a few coworkers with me and everyone enjoyed it. Scott and Jordan were great. They knew everyone's names and cheered us on the whole time. The other members were really inviting as well and congratulated all of us on completing our first class. Lynn was also really helpful in booking a group of us all at once. read more

If you haven't tried this you need to!! Great work out, great educated staff, great participants and all ages 20-60's....Do it!

F45 Old Town provides a first rate, differentiated, scalable workout experience. The free intro week hooked me and I realized how much fun it is to workout with other people who also want to be there, trained instructors who want you to succeed, and a physical environment that makes working out enjoyable (music, everything set up for you, simplified rolling demonstrations on multiple overhead screens, towel service, water, bright natural light on half of the room, etc). I am a runner, but have been incorporating F45 into my weekly workouts (about 2-4x/week) and have improved my speed by almost a minute a mile! The workouts change all the time and are a balance of weights and cardio. Saturdays are my favorites because the workouts are an hour long, tons of energy, good music (sometimes they even have a DJ!), and it goes by so fast but at the end you are a really rewarding kind of tired. I also like that you can buy packs of class passes instead of needing to commit to a membership. Yes, it's expensive, but investing in your health is the best thing you can do for yourself. I'm so glad F45 came to Old Town! Try it for a week- you'll love the upbeat, energetic, community feel and the knowledgeable trainers, and the fact that the workout is already set up and planned for you! All you have to do is show up. read more

Best gym I have ever joined! Totally worth the money. In just a few weeks, you can feel a difference in your fitness level, energy, and stamina...and even better, see a difference in your body. I was initially intimidated to try high-intensity interval training workouts like this as a non-athlete but was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and non-judgmental the trainers and other members were. In addition, all exercises are easily modifiable for people of all levels. Their 45-minute workouts are easy for even the busiest to fit into their schedules and are unbelievably efficient- you will sweat, work muscles you didn't even know you had, and get your heart pumping each session. Scott, the owner, is one of the friendliest and most supportive people you will ever meet and all of the trainers are amazing. F45 is more than just a gym, it is also a family. read more

Been trying out this studio for 3 weeks now and it has been great! Perfect place to get the most out of your workout. The trainers are supportive and ensure you are doing the exercises correctly. Highly recommend trying out the free 2 week trial. read more
