I arrived early to check in and get a sense of the layout of this gym - they're all so different, but I was pleased to see this space was a decent size (much bigger than the postage stamp sized F45 I regularly go to). Plus it's in a shopping plaza with a ton of free parking. I was able to get in my regular Saturday workout, with the same level of great coaching I am used to. I especially loved the industrial sized fans scattered throughout the space. Definitely recommend this F45!

I love that you can get a workout in and get on with your day in only 45 minutes.

The trainers push me to my limits every class, it's great. F45 Dumbarton has truly become something I look forward to every day. If you're not sure, give it a try. I guarantee you'll love it.

The staff did a great job walking us through the workout and making sure we knew exactly what we were getting into (which was a lot, in a good way honestly I was getting cooked lol). The setup was really helpful, with screens showing each exercise for the different groups, so it's easy to follow along. Nice atmosphere, genuinely felt the community aspect. Everyone is working hard, getting cooked together, but still encouraging and vibing with each other. It's a fun environment where you can meet people while putting in real work. I've tried different classes before, and I can definitely see myself incorporating BFT into my routine more often. Great first impression, great staff, and challenging workouts. If you're looking to push yourself, train for something like Hyrox, or just get fitter and step into your fitness era, this place will absolutely get you sweating.

They have pretty much…read morewhatever you could need - showers, shampoo, towels, rental mats, etc. The staff is very helpful and upbeat and there to answer any questions you might have. Not going to lie, it IS hot - but that's what we pay for, right? Every class is heated to 98 degrees so you know exactly what to expect. Yugala and Power are definitely beginner friendly, especially because you can take breaks as needed - the teachers are very understanding, if not encouraging, if you take a break and come down to child's pose. On the other side of the coin, they are super motivating and there if you need them to get you through your class! The teachers are educated in anatomy and anatomical safety in poses and give helpful hands on adjustments. All of the classes are set to music that spans a ton of genres/decades/etc. The Hot Yoga Barre is doing what they do, it's different than any studio in Richmond, and they do it so, so well. Highly recommend!

You come in, do 9 rounds of 3 minute each and have a 3 minute break in between. The trainer teaches you each round and will be there for anything you need during your workout. 30 min and you get a great full body workout with muscle work as well as cardio. You get a heart monitor you can wear and shows on the tv to help you see how you are doing along the way. Jess is the owner and she's awesome and super helpful. The other trainers are fantastic as well, good people all around. It's the best workout and nothing like it in town. I use to go to another kickboxing place and this is really great for letting out any frustrations and feeling good after. You get a free first time class so worth the try!

When we went to check it out before signing up, the manager was there, and he was really nice. The app was easy to set up, and it let us in at all hours during our three-day membership. We are really early risers, so their 24-hour access via the app was really great for us. The gym seems to lean toward powerlifters. I say that not to imply that they give cardio equipment a short shrift. Rather, they have an amazing array of serious powerlifting equipment there, in addition to cardio and circuit equipment. And, as such, they had a few really big dudes, but we didn't feel out of place due to being cardio people along with being unfamiliar faces. The few members that were there in the wee hours of the morning when we were there were friendly. We will be going back on our regular Williamsburg vacations.

The weight area is stacked, plenty of racks, solid free weight selection, and the vibe is actually motivating. You walk in and want to lift heavy.

The biggest issue is that members constantly leave weights, bars, and other equipment wherever they finish using them, and it apparently just stays there until the next person picks it up and moves it to its new home. Re-racking weights and returning equipment should be the most basic rule in any gym, yet here it feels completely optional. Instead of being able to move through your workout, you will more often than not waste time searching for the equipment you need because someone else could not be bothered to put it back. What makes it worse is that this is not a hidden problem. There are signs throughout the gym reminding people to re-rack weights, but they do not seem to be enforced in any meaningful way. At that point, the signs are just decoration. I also regularly see personal trainers and membership coordinators standing around the front desk joking, talking, essentially socializing while the gym floor stays disorganized. There is nothing wrong with this, and morale does matter, but when there is clearly downtime, no clients to attend to, and the gym is that disorganized, that time would be better spent keeping the floor in order, returning misplaced equipment, and reinforcing the rules that are already posted. Then in the future they could reclaim that time instead of letting the same problem continue. For a paying member, it gets old fast. People join a gym to work out, not to spend part of every session cleaning up after strangers and hunting down bars, plates, or attachments that should already be where they belong. If you are considering joining, just know that the convenience of this location is doing a lot of heavy lifting, because management and basic gym etiquette are not.
