The F45 staff are KILLING IT at this gym. They are all so kind and motivating. Best workout I've had in my life. I'll be going here for as long as I live in the area. Y'all rock! read more

I really like the F45 workouts! I did the two week free package and went 4x -- twice for the Saturday Hollywood workout as well as "Bears [Cardio]" and "Panthers [Resistance]". The best way I could come up to describe the workouts is "organized chaos". You get assigned a number station and follow some tvs for the moves, the time, and if you stay in that station or move to the next. It seems like there isn't enough room or where do you go next -- but somehow it always works! The instructors are fun, high-energy, and give great guidance and motivation. The workouts are different each time and burn a crap-ton of calories. My only complaint was that class doesn't always start on time. This was only an issue for the classes I took that weren't the first of the morning or evening. Perhaps this has been resolved but I recall being fairly surprised that we started 15-20 min after the scheduled start time. In any case, even though my free trial period is over, this one fitness spot I would pay to return to. read more

Just wanna let y'all know that @f45_training_ustreet is my favorite workout thus far! The Calf Master himself @__just__jason__ led the "Panther" workout, which is specifically for resistance training. I did F45 years ago but WOW this workout reminded me just how much I loved it. Now....you're not gonna do cardio at all but you're gonna sweat as much as hot yoga. The best part is it's all weights/body weight based so you're building muscle at the same timeThere's different workouts everyday with about 13 stations each session so you'll definitely get a full body workout. All my fellas out there I think you'll really like this workout studio the best. Also, not only amazing coaches that make you feel welcome and help you with your form but great music the whole time! FYI free week trial for students yay read more

F45 makes weightlifting enjoyable and efficient. I get bored with the traditional gym routine of putting on your headphones, keep to yourself, and lift heavy things. Then you gotta wait for a bench or a rack for your next set. F45 is group based and you move through sets fast because you don't have to wait around. The camaraderie is great as the trainers are encouraging and fix your form if needed. You also get to meet great people as you commiserate through a grueling workout. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my favorite days as they are focused on strength and lifting, I just wish these workouts were offered everyday! The only slight downside is that it gets cramped in there. But it's no surprise from looking on the outside that the space is small. It's a testament on how popular this f45 is. read more

F45 U St. is absolutely the best gym in DC. I've tried a lot of gyms...cycle, HIIT, boot camps, Orange Theory...but every single time I come back to F45 and I see RESULTS. Not only does F45 do incredible things for every different kind of body, but the instructors and the community make this tinier (but CLEAN and PERSONAL) gym on U St feel like HOME. Their communication is impeccable and understanding is unparalleled. I can't recommend F45 U St and their amazing instructors enough. What are you waiting for!! Try it out for a free week now!!!!! read more

F45 Training U Street - A little glimpse inside their clean, professional studio! You feel like you are in a small private class with a personal trainer. - Trainers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I went here for the first time on a Sunday morning for the Roman workout and got my ass handed to me. The instructors are super helpful and ask in the beginning if there are any newbies so they can harass you at first and later pay closer attention to your form as you move from station to station. This workout covered 9 stations broken down into 3 substations. Each exercise lasts 35 seconds with 20-25 second breaks. The whole workout lasts 45 minutes and was definitely comprehensive. A great low impact exercise plan ideal for those with tight schedules. read more

Place is amazing. As someone who came for a nice time but not a long time, just a couple of months, this place was like home and kept me fit and healthy. Matt, the owner, is a great person which helped me anytime I needed and made me feel part of something. So this feedback is also a thank you for him read more

I absolutely love this place. Before the pandemic started, I mainly just lifted weights at the gym and played sports to stay in shape. I was never one of those people that would do a group fitness class. Then the pandemic hit and I had to try something new. Enter F45. At first I was a bit worried about being around others but the studio is set up so you have your own pod and they do a great job of promoting air circulation by keeping windows open so my worries quickly vanished. They take additional precautionary measures such as temp checks, masks (which you get used to), hand sanitizer, and the pods themselves are sanitized between each class. You're in and out in 45 minutes (55 min for the special Saturday classes) and the workouts are killer. Each day is a different class which alternate between cardio and strength based workouts. On cardio days, it sometimes looks like I've just been dunked in a pool when I walk out of there. As far as efficient workouts, this is one, if not the best that I've done. They also do zoom classes as well as pre-recorded classes online if you're ever out of town or can't make it to the studio. Lastly, and I never thought I'd say this, the sense of community is great. I've always worked out alone, but having the coaches continuously push and notice your progress is hard to put a price on. They do a great job of fostering a welcoming environment and are there with any modifications if you need them. The people that go are also great and will sometimes chit chat (at a safe distance) after workouts. I recently had someone ask about a knee brace I was wearing and we exchanged tips on managing achy knees. The community really helps get me out of bed for the early workouts. Even when things go back to normal, I will keep going to F45. The first week was the sorest I've ever been and I haven't looked back since. read more

The instructors are all very friendly, have high-energy, and give great correction and motivation. They are a very tight knit community where everyone knows each other and brings their dog to class. The classes rotate between strength one day and cardio the next. It's a challenging workout I'd say is similar to crossfit. The music is a mix of hip-hop and techno. The instructors and assistants give lots of correction on form. But there is no stretching at the end of class which is very important. I think all the other reviews describe the workout so I'll explain why I took one star off. The studio is very small/narrow which I found a bit overwhelming. I can't imagine how loud the jumping on the floor must be for the flower shop below. The waiting area isn't as ventilated as the studio. There are no locks on the tiny lockers and only 5 coat hooks so most people put their stuff on the floor. I've had my coat taken from another studio so I really prefer to lock everything up. There's no locker room to change, just a one toilet where I've never seen paper towels. You need to bring your own towel to class as they don't offer any, and everything is only wiped down after class. You also need to bring your own water bottle as their water fountain is only for filling up bottles, not drinking out of. All the classes I took were full so I don't quite get the aggressive push with daily emails? Their prices are expensive, which they hide by showing you the weekly price. They should think about offering smaller class packs, not everyone wants to spend $300 on a class pack. I'd also recommend sending a welcome email explaining how and when to sign up for classes. read more

This is top of the line for guided HIIT workouts in DC. Inspiring instructors practicing safe, socially-distanced protocols and always putting the customer first. I've had to pause multiple weeks due to outside of class injury or illness and have always been met with praise and even tips on recovery. Pushes you as hard as you'll allow yourself to be challenged! Started as a free walk in during July and haven't looked back since. read more

Great workout experience! Great coaches, different workouts every day, and you definitely feel it the next day. I highly recommend it if you need a good sweat in just 45 mins. Several HIIT stations that you rotate throughout the class, you will definitely not be bored! They offer a 2 week introductory free trial - check it out, you won't regret it. read more

F45 Training U Street - Trainers Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Freaking love these people. The workout is great and the perfect amount of demanding. I've been going for several weeks now and they still treat me like it's my first time. The environment is awesome, everyone is always having a blast and cared for; all while getting their butts kicked. It's awesome how quickly they make you feel comfortable and welcomed. It's the perfect place for someone who wants to get a good workout in, but might be hesitant to go somewhere new or meet new people. Give it a try - you won't regret it! read more

I did the free 2 week trial, and enjoyed my time. The instructor was helpful, the video screens helped with the flow of the class, and people were friendly. I think the class was a bit too crowded, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves once they have done it a few times. The pricing was good, but I'm gonna wait for the new F45 by my place to open to go more! read more

I love this place! I did the two week trial when they first opened without a lot of training/lifting experience and the instructors are amazing and push me when I need it, and always guide my form and pace. It's chaotic and fun and perfect for anyone at any stage of their fitness journey. Don't be intimidated by the loud music and equipment! The coaches and instructional videos are super helpful, and most of the clients are down-to-earth and encouraging as well. read more

Weekday workouts are 45 minutes of pure intensity, weekends are 54 minutes of insanity. All classes are so much fun, the coaches are encouraging and the music is invigorating. I've been going to this location for a little over a month, 4x a week, and can already see a huge difference in definition. Every day is a different workout, so don't expect the same class each visit. You can try it for 2 weeks for free, so no excuses to not check it out :) read more

Awesome crew, awesome heart pumping workouts with such variety! I absolutely love it. Always leave feelings like I got a great functional workout in and have met some nice people! read more

This place is a great place to get a tough work out and get out! 45 min. Of circuit training that get you heart pumping! I am on the two week free trial but I'm hooked. The trainers are really good and seems to enjoy their job. It is very welcoming environment, I recommend you check it out. read more

I have a brand new gym in my apartment building, but I still pay for F45 because I like it that much. The coaches, especially Trip & Ash, are really great. They get to know everyone personally and know how to push people to get the most out of them. Most of the members are cool and social, I've actually made a bunch of friends there. They offer new exercises and classes every day, so you never get bored. They also offer two weeks free for new members, which is a great way to try before you buy (you'll want to buy). read more

I have a gym at work and a gym in my building, and I still pay for unlimited membership at F45 U Street. I started going shortly after they opened and introduced other people to it. I whine every time I have to get up early, but the truth is I love the workouts and the coaches. I'm most familiar with Ash, Jason, Pablo, Trip, and Tim, and I'm super motivated by their energetic, get-your-ass-moving style. It's a solid mix of cardio and strength, and each day is slightly different - be that exercises, sets, or paces. Someone else here said it's like organized chaos and I'd agree; that energy is part of the fun. Also the music rocks - sometimes there's even a DJ! If you're looking to seriously challenge yourself, come join us! read more

I'm going to try to do this without sounding like every other gym endorsement, but I love this place so it's going to be hard. I did the two-week trial a few months ago because my girlfriend was going and raving about how awesome the workouts and coaches were. The first class absolutely kicked my ass (in a good way - although it did take about 20 minutes for me to feel normal again), and I was sore for about four days. But I got back in the mix and did 6-7 classes those two weeks. I kid you not when I say that I could already see and feel results after that two weeks. The workouts, music, and team environment make the 45-minutes a ton of fun. F45 has gotten me into my best physical shape in several years, but I think the thing I love most is that I feel more athletic (what up box jumps and burpees). Trip, Jason, Ash, and Tim are absolute ROCKSTARS, but all the coaches are excellent motivators and make sure folks in the class are doing the exercises with proper form. Anyways, do the two week trial. You'll be a bit sore at first if you're like me, but you'll quickly get up to speed and feel amazing after class; your high five intake will skyrocket; and you may even find your fitness happy place. read more

Tremendous workout. I've been working out for a few years now, tried so many different things and this workout challenges me and pushes my beyond my limits. The set up is great as you are paired up with someone and you both push each other through the workouts. I have been known to be "un-coachable" and the team at U street F45 are super encouraging, funny and have genuine personalities that are great for motivating you through the workouts. I am so glad I started with the trial and most likely will continue with them...excited to change up the workout with something new, different and effective. Kudos to the U street team. read more

Never leave not sweating. Great workout with amazing coaches. Everyday workout is different and never boring. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a killer workout and great environment read more

I'm not usually a big review person, but I had to let the world know how awesome this spot is! I just finished the 2 week free trial and literally went every day that I could. It's super challenging while also not being intimidating, since both a coach and assistant-coach-type-person walk around a correct your form and cheer you on, and there are also screens demonstrating the exercise for each station. Even if you don't have any circuit training experience, which I had very little of, they make it manageable and FUN. Trip and Ash are both so good at their jobs and have totally perfected the art of pushing you in a way that makes you truly believe that you are capable of more, while also never making you feel bad if you need to take a break or drop some weight off. The classes are new and exciting every day, and it felt like I really got a smart and efficient workout each time -- whether it was a cardio day, strength day, or a combo of the two. read more
