I've been coming here for years and still get a great, challenging workout every visit. I love that there is a consistent structure, so I know what to expect, and yet it's a different workout with different exercises each time so it never gets boring. Since F45 is a franchise, it's pretty fun to think that people across the world are doing the exact same workout as we are here in Pasadena. When traveling to different states, or even other countries, I've been able to visit studios there and I love the familiarity of it. There's no awkwardness or intimidation factor since it feels like home. The Pasadena studio is family-owned and the owners, Gabe & Michelle, take feedback and concerns seriously. They're always looking for ways to make the experience better and I love that personal touch. They've put a huge emphasis on building community among the members so that the studio isn't just a place to exercise but a place to form friendships. The coaches at Pasadena make the effort to get to know the members personally and are super friendly and motivating. They push you but are also sensitive to injuries or limitations and are able to provide modifications, if needed. When I don't feeling like getting out of bed and over to class, I know I can count on them to be there energized & ready to go. Thank you, F45 Pasadena! read more

This place changed my life. I've tried a few different F45's, Barry's, Basecamp, Orange Theory. The coaches are awesome at tailoring each workout to each individual - whether that's for someone trying to take it easy or someone looking for an extra challenge. Also, there's something special about the community here that makes it stand out above the rest. I used to struggle with motivation, but not anymore - I actually WANT to come here because it's fun to be around the coaches and other community members. I can't recommend this place highly enough - Gabe and Michelle have created a wonderful experience. read more

Update: I've been coming here for about 6 months now, and I can honestly say I see myself being part of this studio for a long time. What I didn't expect was that I'd also gain such a sweet F45 family along the way. The coaches, the energy, and the community have become such a special part of my routine, and it's one of the places I genuinely look forward to coming to. So grateful I found this studio read more

I've been a member of this gym for 3 years and it has changed my life! You really get the work done here and the workouts are incredibly effective. The trainers are top notch and everyone is very friendly. I've gotten in better shape since I've been here, gathered more discipline and made a lot friends. It's a fantastic community and I love this place! read more

I've been a member of F45 Pasadena since 2019. While I always enjoyed the challenging workouts, staying consistent was difficult for me for a number of reasons. That all changed when the new ownership took over. Since then, being part of this studio has completely transformed the way I approach fitness. Working out has become an important, and genuinely enjoyable part of my daily routine. The coaches consistently offer encouragement, helpful corrections, and new challenges that push me to become a better version of myself, both physically and mentally. Training alongside the coaches and fellow members is now something I truly look forward to every day. I'm incredibly grateful for the positive energy, motivation, and support that Gabe and the entire coaching team (Yesy, Eugon, Jalen, Mike, Michael, Vincent, Cameron, and Steven) bring to the studio. F45 Pasadena wouldn't be the same without them; they're truly what sets this studio apart from other F45 franchises. read more

F45 Training Pasadena - Front Entrance - Trainers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Definitely recommend F45 Pasadena - I've been a member for a few years now and I absolutely love it. It's great for physical health and strength, of course, but even better for mental health. Whether you are new to exercise or a daily fitness-goer, they can help adjust the program to work best for you. Personally, I do not want to think when I work out and F45 is the perfect format - exercises are defined and played on the screen after demonstration so you don't have to memorize anything. Your set time and when you should move to the next station (or stay put) is also communicated clearly on the screens. The coaches are great at ensuring you have good form and will challenge you if they know you're up to it. The equipment has been updated significantly and the facility itself is very well maintained. For culture, owners Gabe and Michelle, along with the many awesome coaches, have done a tremendous job at building a community. I've made so many friends here and love seeing folks every day. That said, if you aren't feeling social, it's easy to stay to yourself, too (no pressure!). It's not a clique mentality (which I have witnessed at places before) - just fun. read more

Joining F45 Pasadena was one of the best decisions I've made for my physical and mental health. I rarely leave reviews, but this one feels mandatory. I hope it helps people who might be hesitant about joining F45--especially those dealing with past injuries or health concerns and wondering if these classes are right for them, or those who may be intimidated. Three years ago, I had a serious horseback riding accident that left part of my back broken. I went through two years of physical therapy on and off, and eventually realized that to support my back (and my 50-year-old woman changing body!), I needed to rebuild my core and strengthen my body. I tried joining a gym, but without structure or motivation, I stopped going after a few weeks. I also tried various fitness classes, but nothing really clicked. I had heard about F45 from friends in the UK and had walked past F45 Pasadena several times, but I was too intimidated to walk in--until three months ago, when I finally pushed myself to do it. It was one of the best decisions I've made for my physical and mental health. I explained my back issues, and Coach Melissa (you are dearly missed) immediately reassured me. That same evening, I signed up for a week trial and attended three classes. I was hooked. So hooked that I signed up for a yearly contract! First, I felt incredibly safe. The coaches know about people's injuries or limitations, check your form carefully, and offer adaptations when needed. Second, the atmosphere is unbelievably welcoming. From Gabe, the owner, to all the coaches who make you feel part of the family, to the members themselves--people from all levels of fitness--everyone is supportive and encouraging. There is absolutely no judgment. There's no pressure to look a certain way or lift a certain amount. The coaches also know when to challenge you, which I really appreciate (thanks, Gabe, I appreciate you!). What I found at F45 Pasadena is motivation and consistency. In three months, I haven't missed a single week of my three classes--even when work or life gets busy. I found a program that keeps me engaged, challenges me, and helps me grow. But most importantly, I found a community. Gabe and Michelle have created something special, organizing opportunities to connect beyond workouts--picnics, run clubs, social media support, and more. And I'm always looking forward to my classes and seeing people's smiles and cheers. And I can't finish this review without a shoutout to Yesy--one of the most dedicated, supportive, and encouraging coaches. She leads with both expertise and humor, and can even become your hiking buddy. If you're hesitating--especially because of past injuries or intimidation about walking into a gym--I truly encourage you to give F45 Pasadena a try. It might just change more than your fitness routine. I'm so grateful for everyone at F45 Pasadena. read more

This is THE Best F45 I've been to period hands down. The coaching and cues are great and they've cultivating an incredible community which separates them from other f45s that I've been to.

Gabriel has built a strong team with a fun community. I appreciated the accommodations for my workout as well as the hospitality. I can tell they're tight knit, but very welcoming at F45 Pasadena. Definitely plan on passing through again when the opportunity comes up. They also have some of the coolest studio shirts in the network so I had to grab one before I left. read more

F45 Training Pasadena - Studio shirt - Trainers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Joining F45 Pasadena has been one of the best decisions I've ever made! Prior to F45 Pasadena, I never enjoyed strength training and now my days feel incomplete if I don't make it to class. Gabe and Michelle truly care about creating a welcoming community. Each coach is AMAZING (Yesy, Vincent, Michael, Michael, Eugon, Jalen, Cameron, and Steven) -- they always have the best attitude, will kindly correct your form, and will modify any exercise as needed. Lastly, members are friendly and helpful towards each other, which contributes to the overall positive experience. read more

F45 Pasadena is so much more than just a gym--it's a community. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive energy and genuine support. The owners, Gabe and Michelle, have created something really special here. As a family-owned business, they've built a true family-like atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, supported, and motivated, no matter where you're starting from. What really sets this place apart is the people. Every coach brings the perfect mix of encouragement, accountability, and fun. Huge shoutout to Yesy, Melissa, Eugon, Cameron, Vince, and Michaels x2--each of them actually pushes you to be better while still making the workouts enjoyable. They care, they notice your progress, and they make sure you never phone it in. This isn't your typical gym where you show up, work out, and leave unnoticed. F45 Pasadena feels like home, and it's a place that truly makes you want to show up for yourself and for the people around you. Highly recommend to anyone looking for more than just a workout. read more

This F45 location got me back into a fitness routine after a long hiatus. The coaches here are phenomenal and it's a super community oriented atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

While I was in Pasadena for work, I checked around for group fitness classes by my hotel. I've been wanting to try F45 for a long time. There's one located in my city, but it's not that conveniently close to me. I booked a single drop-in class for 6am on a Wednesday morning. What's cool is that the MindBody App tells you what type of class you're signing up for. I saw that I had registered for a cardio circuit training class called "Triple Double." I learned that it entailed 3 sets per station and 2 rounds at each station i.e. there were 9 total stations, which we went around twice. I'm a certified group fitness HIIT instructor myself, so I enjoyed the overall experience. I loved the variety of exercises at each station. How I described F45 to a friend was that it's the best part of OTF, which is the strength/HIIT part. You even get bite sizes of tread and row-like exercises (my least favorite things about OTF). Their standing ski machine was legit. Way more fun and creative. I felt that I got a great full body workout. I was also able to keep up with the entire program at peak performance since there were enough rests where I could recoup. There were two trainers that morning, and they were fine. They demoed the exercises well, but that's pretty much all they do. I saw some people with sus form that could've used form correction. I mean, even yell at us at least?! The reason why I like going to classes with trainers is because I need the motivation to push harder. I might as well be working out with Lululemon Mirror if I'm just going to be watching the screen the entire time during class. Would've been nice if the trainers made the effort to make me feel welcomed. This was my first time taking any F45 class. I'm sure the trainers recognized I wasn't a regular, so like... say hello maybe? Ask if I have injuries or concerns? When I walked in, I had figured out myself that I had to check-in at the iPad. Then I followed a group of people to line up against a wall to whom I asked what the format of the class was, what to expect, etc. read more

I've been working out here for about 5 months and I love it. The workouts are fun and the coaches are excellent. I have specifically asked coaches for feedback on my form and they strike the perfect balance of providing coaching while not being overbearing. The vibe is fun and positive. If you're looking for an F45 studio, this is the one! If you're new to F45 (like I was), this is a great group fitness option to check out. read more

What a fun workout experience! And everyone here was so genuinely friendly and wanted to help! I struggled a little with my flimsy muscles but I got a good workout in and I was able to work on my form. I really hope I can come back in a cardio day. read more

F45 Training Pasadena - After Mondays workout - Trainers Near Me - Pasadena, California

I had tried F45 many years ago in another city, and didn't really care for it nor did I find the instructors helpful, so I never went back after my trial. This place is completely different. Chris and Gabe are awesome, engaged, friendly, and welcoming trainers. They always watch my form and are right there to correct it if I'm doing something wrong. They're very helpful and I never feel intimidated. I enjoy the workouts, too , read more

F45 Pasadena has been my go-to workout for 3 years now and it always challenges me. There's a great mix of strength based workouts and cardio. The coaches are all fantastic and there are multiple morning, evening classes available and even a noon class. There's a sense of community I've found at F45 and love it. read more

Yes, it's a great workout but what makes this location great is they've consistently been lucky in hiring great coaches, all with their own style. If you're lucky you'll run into Coach Gabe popping in from time to time before he rides off into the sunset to open up his own studio. Jim, Yessy, and the two favorites - - Chris and Nick. They're always good at reading the energy and vibe of the room and know when to push people, when to keep things light hearted, and most importantly they keep things fun and enjoyable. I give them a lot of crap but definitely my favorite coaches. They always go out of their way to make sure first timers are welcome and comfortable, so no need to be shy. Stop by. :) read more

If your looking for a gym or to get back into fitness stop looking F45 Pasadena is the best spot to be.

I've been working out at F45 Pasadena for about 2 years now. This place is good for those who don't know what to start from at the gym.

Great gym! We've been going for years now and there's really no better workout facility in Pasadena than F45. The coaches are very knowledgeable and always there to assist you. But more importantly the teammate's there are all cool peeps, only good vibes and good workouts. read more

Awesome workout experience. F45 and the knowledgeable training staff has helped me reach my fitness goals.

This workout is excellent I am traveling a lot but in September 1st I will join I love F45 I enjoy it so much .the train uses are nice and helpful . read more

I've been coming to this location for over 2 years. I like the workout, but not their customer service. They charged me and my friend different amount for suspending our membership. On top of that, they also wrongly charged me multiple times, then gave me a rude response when I pointed their mistake out. I don't feel that my credit card information is safe with F45 Pasadena. It's sad that I had to cancel my membership due to their unprofessional customer service. read more

I have been a member here for 6 years and a big part of the community here so it really pains me to have to write this review... But unfortunately due to new ownership I have been forced to cancel my membership after 6 years. What was once a great environment has truly become toxic and a place I no long felt comfortable or welcomed at. From the beginning, the new owner was very abrasive towards certain members and staff, and started implementing strict "rules" that were never a thing before. I understand a gym having rule and order, but berating someone for wearing headphones in class in front of other people and not allowing them to continue to workout, or posting signs on the wall with "rules" we need to follow like saying hello to trainers as if we are in middle school, seem a bit over the top. The final straw for me was an incident in which I allowed someone to workout for free under my membership. As a longtime paying member who has also done a lot for the business, i have always been allowed a free guest pass once in a while. But apparently this is no longer allowed, which is fine, but rather than approach me professionally with the respect one would deserve for being a paying customer for years, I was sent a berating text message telling me I should "take responsibility" and if I ever do that again I will be banned from the gym. It was the most insanely unprofessional thing I had ever witnessed. This on top of the way the new owner treats his staff poorly has made it so that I would never give my money to this establishment again nor would I ever recommend anyone else to. read more

Left this gym a few years ago due to their sleazey head coach at the time, Gabe. He would attempt to become too personal with clients and engaged in what he perceived as "friendly banter" but was truly just rude and unprofessional for a paying customer relationship. He often left me feeling uncomfortable for the remainder of class time. He has since become the owner of this location making it so I would never return, nor would I would ever recommend anyone to visit this franchise location. At one point this location had enthusiastic coaches and great client morale, but it seems Gabe has driven everyone away. Stay away! read more

Great gym if you are short on time you can get in and get out all while achieving a good workout!

Have been coming here for over a year and I've been obsessed since day 1. The workouts change every day which keeps things interesting. The coaches are amazing and know when to push you. The vibe is excellent. Definitely give it a try read more

This is my home gym, but I have been to a few other F45 gyms and none can compare to Pasadena. The coaches are all knowledgeable, engaging and fun, and the members are really a community. Everyone comes ready to work, but also have fun and support each other I also love how welcoming they are to new people and visitors. read more

The F45 training program started in Australia and is now taking over America by storm. If you are looking for a fun and challenging workout F45 Pasadena is the place for you. I have tried several of the nearby HIIT training gyms but none of them are as challenging as this workout. The class is a 45 min workout and every class is different. During the week the classes are a mix of Cardio (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and weights (Tuesday and Thursday). The Saturday class is the only 1 hour class which is mix of cardio, core and weights. Sunday class is also a mix of cardio and weights. The instructors, Cameron and Dani, are dedicated to ensuring that you maintain good form and you challenge yourself every class. You can also get heart monitors which help you track your progress in every class. In addition, there is the F45 challenge that is a 8 week challenge to keep you motivated to workout and eat healthy. During the challenge you can get access to simple and easy meal plans to help you eat right. The gym is clean and tidy with new equipment. There is parking in the apartment building or plenty of street parking. Try out the 1 week free trial to see what the fuss is about! Keep up the good work F45 Pasadena team! read more

Really great community. Coaches know what they are doing and give every member the attention they need. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed !!! read more

I love F45! I got the Groupon for one month and it was totally worth it. Here is a review for those who want to know what exactly is this Aussie style workout. Don't want to read all of this? Go to recap below: Workout itself: It is 45 minutes high intensity style workout. Every day you will have a variety of either body weight exercises, agility, or weights exercises. You will be at each station between 35-45 seconds long with a quick break in between to either do another round of the same exercise or a different exercise (e.g. 35 seconds on 15 seconds off for example). F45 is based on HIIT method - you go hard for short period of time with a quick recovery. Exercises can include push ups, pulling a sled, box jump, bicep curls, bicycle crunches etc. It depends on the day. F45 alternates between strength day or cardio day. During cardio day, you will do more cardiovascular based exercises (jumps, burpees etc). Strength day is more weight days (bicep curls, TRX, bench press). Saturdays is free for all - both cardio and weight. The nice thing is ALL exercises are demonstrated and then shown on the TV screen. It can be overwhelming on your first workout the number and variety of exercises you have to do, but the TV monitors shows you each exercise at which station and how to move between the station. But COME ON TIME - it is 45 minutes and the explanation and warm up are less than 3 minutes. Amenities: They only have one bathroom for men and one for women. No showers. They do provide small hand towels and free bottles of water (but no actual water source). Parking: Free parking attached to the building. Go down on Walnut and it will be located on Walnut attached to F45 building. Price: Month to month is most expensive ($220/month!) If you sign up for a 6 month or 12 month contract, the price decreases significantly. They do not offer class packages. Recap: 45 minutes HIIT workout - variety of exercises, short breaks short time doing them. TV demonstrates each exercise so you don't get lost. One bathroom. Free parking. read more

Love everything about this place: the staff, the classes, the equipment. Coaches are very friendly and encouraging. I was looking for a good HIT style class and I was am SO HAPPY to have found this place! read more

Always an excellent workout. Even when I show up allowing myself to sandbag it, somehow these guys bring the best out of me. F45 just might be the best workout there is. Several things distinguish F45: 1. Trainers. They are all high level trainers. No bored and sleepy check-in girls draining the payroll. No check-in counter at all. It's lean, and that allows them to have ample trainers floating around giving you corrections and motivations. 2. Ample Weights. It's a HIIT style class, but really amped up because most exercises involve weights, challenging for all levels, for maximum calorie burn. This isn't jazzercise. They load you up good, ensuring there's no escaping a great workout. 3. Diversity of Movement. There are bikes, rowing machines, weights, blocks, bosu balls, medicine balls, I can go on and on. Way workout is different, and within each workout, there are so many exercises, and on top of that, the pacing changes from workout to workout. Different rest times, etc. Perfect for shocking your system and keeping up the progress. 4. Cleanliness. Yes, they do provide towels, so everyone is wiping up after themselves. On top of that, the trainers float around with their own towels in case someone misses a spot. 5. Parking. Regardless of the time of class, I have never had an issue finding a parking spot in their covered garage. read more
