My wife and I had been religiously going to a local OTF studio for the past 2 and half years and had plateaued quite a bit this past summer. As with anything in life, especially in fitness, change is good. So when I came across this Australian HiiT phenomenon that is suppose to "take over the world" called F45 Training I was itching to check it out since I've done HiiT training before but never in a group setting, ala Insanity 10 years ago. Just in case you're wondering what the F stands for it's not "F*ck this 45 minute workout" like we always say to ourselves when we're about to embark on a hard hitting workout but "Functional". So when this studio opened in June, my wife and I went all in from the start signing up for their unlimited membership. Since then it's been a non-stop addiction for us as I regularly go 5-6x a week and my wife 4-5x. I joke that this is my daily therapy and that it's way cheaper than going to see a doctor. What we love about F45 is the constant variety of functional strength movements that is incorporated into each workout so there's never been a time where we were ever bored. Each class uses stations to combine cardio, interval, and strength training. The beauty of all of this is that the movements can be easily modified to progress or regress depending on your level of fitness and comfort. Along the way you'll have the benefit of several trainers and coaches to keep an eye out on you to ensure your form is correct and safe. Not to sound too dramatic, but the past 6 months for us and me, in particular, has been life changing. I'm down a few pant sizes, leaner, healthier and stronger than I've been since....can I dare say, college?! I don't remember when the last time I was able to fit into a Medium size shirt but I do now. Furthermore, I look around my fellow members who joined us back in June and they all look HOT especially the wife. No joke...the progress that each member has made is mind-blowing but not shocking whatsoever. If you're considering a new workout this coming year and feel intimidated, don't be. Come out and try it out, you won't regret it. It can literally be life changing for you. It's meant for every fitness level from the couch potatoes to the strong Cross-fitters. Trust me, I've met both types here and they're killin' it. We would love to see you and you never know, we may end up working out next to each other pushing each other to our limits, which is why we're here right? read more

I first tried F45 while visiting my daughter in Texas. She knew I was looking to try something new. I loved it there and was so excited to join F45 Northgate when it opened in June. I have not been disappointed and confidently say it's been the best gym I've ever joined. I had been on weight watchers and within 10 pounds of my goal weight for about a year. I ate well and exercised to home DVDs consistently but just didn't progress. I was frustrated with my plateau when I joined F45. Since then, I have surpassed my goal weight, lost several sizes in clothes and feel better and stronger than I've felt in years. The trainers do not let you stagnate but challenge you to constantly improve. They also pay attention to form, they want you to be safe while getting strong. I have less back and knee pain because I've built my strength correctly. I also never get bored at the workouts because the class is different daily. Best of all is the community. The trainers have established a fun and welcoming environment to exercise. They want the members to get to know and encourage each other. We cheer each other on, give high 5s and shout outs during the workout. We've had pot lucks and challenges all to build community and keep us motivated. Finally, do not be intimidated or afraid to try F45 thinking it's only for young fit people. People of all sizes and fitness levels are successful at F45. I'm 57 years old and can now safely dead lift 100 pounds! Who knew I could do that! Yes, it took me time to get to my current fitness level. I've attended 6-7 classes per week since it opened in June. But I can honestly say I've never felt better. Come join us! read more

My wife and I have had an absolute horror of an experience trying to cancel our memberships here. We were both unlimited members, and despite following their procedures, we have been met with total lack of transparency and predatory billing. I submitted my cancellation request on January 31 and received written confirmation that my membership would be finalized by March 2. Their email explicitly stated they would "promptly contact" me regarding any outstanding issues or fees. They did not. Instead, they stayed silent for over 30 days while continuing to bill me $56.38 every week. It wasn't until after my confirmed end date passed that they suddenly mentioned a $199 early cancellation fee. By withholding this, they forced me to pay over $225 in extra weekly dues that I could have avoided had they been transparent in January. To top it off, they processed a final unauthorized charge of $220 on March 5--well past my confirmed cancellation date. My wife was on a month-to-month membership and cancelled in late January. Management admitted to an erroneous charge from late February and explicitly promised her a refund in March. Not only did they fail to refund the money, but they have now sent her to collections for a payment they admitted was a mistake. Management has ignored their own written procedures and confirmed deadlines just to squeeze more money out of our accounts. We have filed a formal dispute with our bank and a complaint with the Washington State Attorney General. Avoid this studio unless you want to be billed indefinitely and sent to collections after you leave. read more

I've been going to a popular gym, usually by myself, for many years. There were days when I felt tired and unmotivated and just left the gym without completing my workout. Since I joined F45 Northgate when it opened in June, I have seen more changes in my body and overall health in a short period of time compared to working out for years. I am more leaner/muscular and have more energy during the day. Therefore, I have been pumped and workout an average of 5 days a week. What I love about F45 Northgate: - High intensity workout for 45 mins and then you are done - Group training where members encourage and challenge each other - Classes are never the same, your body doesn't have a chance to plateau - Lionheart monitor for purchase to track your heart rate, progress, and calories burned - Cardio on Mon, Wed, Fri - Resistance/weights on Sun, Tues, Thurs - On Sat, a hybrid 1 hr workout of both cardio and resistance with a live DJ playing the music (always a popular class) The coaches at F45 Northgate are top notch and are the best! They keep you motivated and correct your form and/or modify the exercises if you have an injury. They also push you beyond what YOU think your body can do... that's how you get RESULTS! So sign up for the free trial and experience for yourself what F45 Northgate is all about. You won't regret it! read more

This gym! I have been a member of this gym since the day it opened. I have seen so many great results. My body's favorite place is homeostasis so I really have to vary my workouts to see changes. F45 provides a plan that does just that. The workouts are always different which not only confuses my body (which is good) but prevents boredom as well. There is a nice mix of strength and cardio which keeps me strong and the variety works my brain too. Another wonderful aspect of this gym is the community feeling. I tried a few different gyms since my old gym closed in spring of 2018. None provided a community feeling that I was looking for. I found it here. The coaches know your name and cheer you on as do the members. I look forward to seeing my new friends and I look forward to the workouts. They have a free week trial so if you've been considering F45 I encourage you to give it a shot! read more

I started my free 7 day trial on November 4th nervous and unsure about my first day working out in years. However, the members & coaches of F45 welcomed me with open arms. By the end of the class everyone knew my name as they were motivating me throughout the entire class. The coaches continue to push me to do things I could have never been able to imagine. I started off doing push ups on my knees, lifting 6 pound weights and not even being able to LOOK at the pull up bar. I am now doing T-push ups, lifting up to 40 pounds and doing 5 consistent chin ups supported by a resistance band. My friends and family have already seen a HUGE difference in my appearance. I thank my F45 Northgate Family for the guidance and discipline everyday. Try the 7 day trial and you will not regret it!!!l read more

F45 is more than a gym, it is a community that will hold you accountable and while you are having fun you are getting stronger and fitter. Every workout is different, which is so nice because you won't ever get bored. You know what you are going in for, Mon/Wed/ Fri are all cardio. Tues/Thur/Sun is strength and Saturday is a hybrid, so there is no surprise what you are going to get. The program makes sure that classes are perfectly timed and there is no room for confusion. I am so thankful for F45 Northgate and it is by far the best gym I have been a member of. read more

I highly recommend F45 Northgate. I joined when it first opened. I had been a member at OTF for a few years, but my body didn't like all the running and the inclines. I was looking for a gym where I could gain muscle and do cardio. F45 has met all my needs. The trainers know their stuff. Since I have previous injuries there are some exercises I can't do. The trainers always offer different modifications. I take the 5:00 a.m. class and I love it! I'm 43 years old and am the strongest I've ever been. Definitely check it out, you won't be sorry. read more

I've been working out at F45 for the past few months. It is honestly the best decision I've made this year. Everyone at F45 Northgate is so supportive and motivating.

I have been a member of F45 for close to four years now. I never thought I'd be a person who looked forward to working out, yet here I am! I have been to a few different locations at this point, but the move from the old Northgate studio to the current one has been amazing. The studio feels fresh with new equipment, we have the squat racks now, and the best thing of all. PARKING! So much parking. Chris, Tygr, Travis, and Sam are great coaches, always encouraging me to not be lazy. read more

F45 Northgate has completely transformed my fitness journey since I joined last summer! Coach Travis is absolutely phenomenal - he remembers everyone's name and always knows when to push you just a bit further or offer a modification when needed. His attention to form is impressive, and he creates such a motivating atmosphere during those tough cardio sessions. The facility is always clean, classes start punctually, and the community feeling keeps me coming back. read more

I absolutely love the desire the coaches have to help people that need adjustments for whatever reason. I am unable to do legs often due to bad knees and they find me something that works every time!! So grateful for Coach Tygr this morning at 10am! You all Rock!! Thanks for caring. You looking for a gym this one is for everyone. read more
