Unfortunately, F45 Sunnyvale feels like a major outlier -- and not in a good way. I'm genuinely surprised this studio is still operating under the F45 name, because the experience here doesn't reflect the same standards I've come to expect. Trainers at this location don't demonstrate exercises live, they just mirror the video playlist from an iPad onto the TV screen and leave it at that. One coach in particular gave off the impression of being completely new to the F45 environment -- they didn't look or carry themselves like a trainer at all, and there was no engagement or technique correction throughout the session. It made the class feel unstructured and even unsafe at times. The equipment and studio upkeep also leave a lot to be desired. The space feels gritty and worn down, lacking the clean, energized environment that most F45s provide. I couldn't help but compare it to F45 Branham Park or F45 Mountain View, which are both far superior in terms of coaching, energy, and maintenance -- and they're priced similarly. If you're thinking of trying F45, do yourself a favor and explore one of the other nearby studios. Sunnyvale's location simply doesn't deliver on the brand promise, and I walked away feeling like I wasted both my time and money.

SVA is a great facility with state of the art equipment and method tracking your progress. I definitely recommend getting a trainer who can help you with programming if you're feeling stuck where you're at with fitness. They have an awesome community they put together. Everyone's got good energy when you come in here. Coaches are very experienced and knowledgeable. You won't be disappointed. They also do some community events like renting out a movie theater to watch Avatar 3 as well as diet seminars. For price point, it's in par with what you'd see at other places. The good thing is they made it way easy to put good use from the HSA. Use that HSA and invest in yourself.

I recently started coming to Ironwill and I have been really impressed with this place so far…read more Chris (owner) is a great guy and was very helpful to me as a CrossFit n00b to ensure I could get the right training and that I'm doing okay in each class. The way this works is that you start with a Fundamentals course (3 total classes) where you are taught the main lifts. This is all about getting used to the movements and understanding the right form. From there you are allowed to jump right into classes. The schedule is available online. No signups needed, you just show up. The workouts are challenging but doable. Love that the class is structured so you often work with a buddy which lets you get to know other people in the class. The class times are convenient for someone who is working the usual 9 - 5 schedule and there are classes available every day. The workout is posted on Facebook each day so you know what you're getting into before you arrive. Most importantly, the community that they have is really open and welcoming. I was nervous about trying out a CrossFit gym like this, but I'm really glad I did. Can't wait to continue with my fitness journey here!

It was always a pleasure experience for me when working out with Laila. I started weight training with the goal of being stronger and become fit but wasn't sure how to start. Laila helped me develop a detailed training plan that fits for newbies like me. With Laila's help, I have achieved noticeable results within a very short period of time. Beside the in-person sessions, I also get customized training plan so I can organize workout schedule on my own and track my progress. This really helped me stay motivated and hold me accountable in my fitness journey. Laila also provides suggestions on diet and cardio exercise, which are the good buddy with strength training that makes your weight training more effective. I would definitely recommend Laila to anyone who is consider fitness training!

EDIT AS OF SEPTEMBER 20th: The manager emailed me and the AC…read morewas fixed shortly after these reviews went up (less than a day later, hmmmm...), so I will change it back to 4 stars because...again, this is my gym and I love spending time here! But moving forward, there will hopefully be something in place to protect the attendees from heat related illness in the summer. Other regulars have told me this happens every year during heat waves and have also complained about it. Going forward, don't wait for bad reviews and attendee complaints before something is done. Some folks aren't afraid of going to corporate. ORIGINAL: This is my gym and I spend a lot of time here attending lots of classes, so this makes me really upset to have to change my review, but I don't think anyone will listen otherwise. The AC in the group fitness room has been broken off and on the last two weeks, to finally break completely on Monday. Two weeks ago, I had symptoms of heat stroke from trying to push through one of the classes during this heat and almost went to the hospital. I talked with the front desk about the dangers of heat sickness, especially since most people who attend the classes are elderly. I said that if the AC is not going to be working in that room, we really shouldn't be having class. My thermometer I brought stated the room was 90 degrees, not even counting everyone's body heat. The AC has been broken all this week and nobody knows anything about when this will be repaired. It went from "maybe" being fixed from Tuesday, to Wednesday, and now to "maybe" next week. Meanwhile, the instructors have to be up there in a sometimes 70 person class (of mostly elders) in 90 degrees with no air. Opening all the doors does absolutely nothing. This is a dangerous health hazard. One wall fan isn't going to cut it. We need someone to actually care and have backup generators or at the very least, a tech on site to repair things like this. Meanwhile, front desk is nonchalant and giving us the run around because the AC works perfectly fine everywhere else BUT the group fitness room. I get there's certain things you can't help, but you need to at least have something there as a backup to ensure attendees are safe. I can no longer attend the classes I love due to being susceptible to heat illness. People are in danger of doing cardio in 90 degrees. It just is not acceptable.

If you'd prefer avoiding a slipped disc or back pain, I would avoid this gym…read more I worked with Benny who is an incredible sweet and nice guy. I've always been a pretty athletic person, and I have worked out regularly on my own. I booked personal training sessions because I specifically wanted someone to watch me while doing workouts, improve form, and make sure I'm lifting a safe weight. I did a consultation and everything seemed to check out - Benny is incredibly fit and so I figured if someone knows good form and lifting properly, it's him. He's also a really nice and sweet guy. That being said, I really do believe it's the job of a personal trainer to know when someone's form is ready for a certain lift, to know which exercises are safe, which amounts of weights are safe, and to advise a beginner on when to stop. On the second personal training session, as a 120-pound woman, Benny gave me 272 pounds to lift -- on my second, ever training session! Since that session I have consulted 2 medical practitioners and 4 other folks who lift regularly; all 6 have said it's extremely irresponsible and negligent to give someone *that* much weight on a second lifting session (there's no way their form can allow for proper lifting of 2x their body weight! And a trainer's first call to duty is safety) and that this workout plan was barely short of pure recklessness. Benny had me lifting more than two times my body weight on a deadlift. For context, if you're a 200 pounds man, that means lifting 400+ pounds. As you can imagine, my back completely went out (I heard and felt some sort of sound), and was in incredible immediate pain -- right after the injury, I couldn't bend over without immense pain. Had the pain gone away in a week or so, I wouldn't be here writing this review. Unfortunately, it's been over a month and that pain has not fully gone away -- 6 weeks and $500+ in medical bills later. Most likely I will need to have an MRI to see if there's any kind of disc issue. These 2 sessions alone will likely result in over $1000 in medical bills, if I go ahead and do the MRI. I wrote the bulk of this review at 1 am in the morning in bed, because the tingling in my right leg has actively prevented me from falling asleep. My experience involved 3 days of intense pain, 1 week of extremely limited movement, and a month of continued lingering pain and tingling in my right leg down to my feet. Even a month after the injury, I cannot lift anything substantial without the pain returning. Woke up on Christmas morning with a backache. I can't in good conscious recommend this gym. I regret coming to this gym so, so, so much. You can always get another job, another car -- pretty much anything. But you can't get another back. Giving a complete beginner 272 pounds to deadlift on a 2nd session seems to fall short of reckless. If this gym employs someone that gives a workout like that on a 2nd session, I think it needs to re-consider it's standards. Back issues are no joke, and I'd give anything to have to live pain-free again.

You can tell he is passionate about fitness. One of my highlights was weight training and seeing how much I could deadlift (something I wanted to incorporate more into my workout regimen).

I can tell my difference after several months ---- not only the shape, posture, but also strength and confidence. He's also such a sweet guy ---- always smiling and encouraging me to challenge myself. Benny is the best trainer I ever tried. I would like to give him more than five stars if I can!

I was amazingly impressed with how she did the assessment and pointed out all of my problems through my movements, and told me how to train to improve them and my back conditions (I have a long history of severe back pain). We focused on all the basic techniques first, the first few sessions were all about how to engage the core and breathe right to make sure I work out safely. These are essential for all sport training, but also significantly important for people with bad back like me. Gwen's workouts are challenging but super fun to do. She always listen to how my body feels to make necessary adjustment. I have passed the period of mobility focus and now working more on the agility workouts. My back has been great, and after the first few months of moving slow, I started seeing steady results. I took a Dexa scan at the beginning to know where I was at, and now taking it every 2 months to keep track of the results. While my lean mass has increased a bit slowly, I have drop quite a good amount of fat mass, and my bone mineral is higher. If you are looking for a trainer, I highly recommend Gwen, she is a perfect match for any training needs but even more so for people with injury and training limits.
