The class is a combination of floor exercises, and the Skiers Edge machine. You rotate in a circuit between the different exercises. I'm not a skier but found I really enjoyed the skiers edge machine and it helped me activate rarely used leg and glute muscles.

Went for the first time last week. Took a Monday night class. I think the "coach" was Ashley. I'm…read moresad this was my first experience because I was really looking to get help with my form. But the coach was too busy only "coaching" her favorites or friends. But she really is more of an annoying cheerleader. She did not come up to me once. The other coach who was not on a mic was really nice. And she corrected me with one exercise. I was just rather surprised and disappointed the lack of professionalism by the main coach as I would of expected her to be more interactive. Great place and great workout. Just look at the schedule and stay away from Ashley D.

My five star review comes with the disclaimer that I was only there on a 7-day trial pass…read more I was in the middle of sampling new gyms before committing to one. F45 had a 7-day unlimited pass. They don't require a credit card up front, so it's really no obligation. I think it's important to attend the classes you normally would (i.e. before work/after work), so you understand the size of the class. That said, as soon as I signed up, I checked the morning classes I wanted to attend. They fill up VERY fast, so 1-week prior, ensure that you book the class you want to attend or you'll get wait-listed. This, to me, was kind of stressful, as there are only so many slots per class. Since I signed up a week in advance, I was able to attend the classes I wanted. You snooze, you lose. Second, the instructors/staff are all friendly. They recognized my new face and gave a shout out at the beginning of class. They are pretty good at remembering names. It's a good mix of people, skewing towards mid-late 20's. The gym seems catered to millenials, to this old man (e.g. interval workouts, quick songs, rah-rah from coaches, and station rotation). Because it is High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), the weights are lighter with more reps and less rest. Your body doesn't get accustomed to any one movement. You get coaches' support to keep pushing through that helps keep you honest. I will say that you'll get a workout. It took a few rotations before I really started to get winded/sweaty. By the end, I felt I had a good lather and workout. It seems like it could be intense for beginners/out-of-shape people, but will melt fat if you commit to keep attending. To me, it was a good variance from my preferred way of training, but I don't think it's for me long term. If I do come back, I'd probably buy a punch card to attend classes when I need a break from my normal routine. Like most boutique/specialized gyms, it's expensive ($70/week, $565/8-week challenge). However, if you buy a weekly unlimited pass for $70 and attend 5 classes, it's only $14/class. It's worth a look-see and it seems like members really enjoy it. You'll get a good sweat, muscle fatigue and satisfaction upon finishing, for sure. If I am going to invest nearly $200/month, I'd rather commit to a gym that more closely aligns with my personal fitness goals. It's not a knock on F45, just a personal choice for me.

The CFW coaches also give you extra care and guidance especially when you're new to make sure you know what you're doing. I've always worked out at "other gyms", but CrossFit Westchester is not a gym. It's a different model, where no two days are alike, and the program has the ability to morph you to become a better person; a stronger (mentally and physically) and more confident person. I salute all the great coaches/the team at CrossFit Westchester, aka Westchester Fit. Thank you for all the help you've bestowed upon us.

I love this studio i discovered last week. All classes are an hour and are very weights focused…read morewith daily rotations of different focus groups like abs, arms and back on Wednesdays for example. I started with the Solido class which was amazing and targeted glutes and abs. It literally flew by and I was sweating! Next I tried Savage, which rotated between 4 minutes of different weight training and sculpting moves and then 4 minutes of treadmill work. Their treadmills have handy guides for athletic levels and intensity and the incline and speed are easily adjusted. I liked this class and according to my Apple Watch, burned a TON of calories here, although I do not recommend doing this class fasted as jumping back and forth and the starting and stopping from moves and sprints made me quite dizzy at times. This class was on the first floor. Finally, I tried a Tonic class, which was very weights focused and had active breaks in between the working portions. This class was on the lower level of the studio. Each class has an instructional video ahead of time and moves demoed on the screens the entire time with a timer for the moves and timers to show your progress in the class which I really appreciated. The music in every class I took was always super fun and a mix of EDM, hip hop and Latin music. They also offer a spin class I believe called Stride and a boxing class called Jab The studio itself is amazing with lots of neon lights to set the mood, plants, tons of reflective details in the locker rooms and on the lockers and gorgeous seating in the lobby. The lobby has a bar with tea, coffee, some waters and pre packaged protein drinks. I do wish they had more of a selection of pre and post workout choices but I'm sure those will come! They let me know soon they'll be offering alcohol as well and free wine if you take a class on Friday! You get a hand towel for class and if you want to use their showers, they provide towels. The bathrooms are gorgeous and have amenities provided. Some of the best studio showers I've been in with plenty of room to hang your toiletries. The staff was super polite and outgoing and everything was clean and tidy. They even have a clothing shop with unique and cute workout sets from a Latino owned brand. I can't say good things enough about this studio and hope they expand their class offerings!
