But if you can get past the newness and unfamiliarity, the challenge is well worth it. The workouts and community have an engaging sense of camaraderie, structure, and challenge that keeps each session interesting and effective. I have found that by challenging myself in this way, my confidence to face challenges has expanded into areas outside of workouts as well. There is no pressure to join, which I appreciated, and no obligation to socialize (though opportunities are there if you want them). The studio offers a sense of community with familiar, friendly faces that makes workouts accessible and, frankly, fun. I have been going for about 6+ months and befriended kettlebells, sleds, and Ski and RowERGs-- and have seen significant improvements in strength and energy. It has been a great complement to yoga and Pilates. The variation in daily workouts (resistance training, cardio, and hybrid days), which are easy to preview on the app ahead of time, paired with upbeat music--and often a DJ on Saturdays-- makes the time go by quickly. Being able to track progress using their InBody scan has also been a key motivator. The space is bright, modern, clean, and sunlit with large windows. Most importantly, the coaches and team are attentive. They are encouraging and supportive throughout the process. I have been to other F45 locations in other states and can confidently say that the coaches at this location are truly excellent-- professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful.

I've been walking by this studio for years, but I didn't take my first class until a few months…read moreago. I always assumed it was a weird cult. Well, I think I was right. I think it is a cult, and the patron saint is Mark Wahlberg.* For Pete's (that's me) sake, these are people that like doing burpees between sets. But after 15+ sessions, I guess I'm drinking the koolaid. What I love about it is it's always a full body, crushing workout in only 45 minutes. I can get in and out during the workday, feeling like I actually did something. There's no wasted time. You arrive, warm up, and go. There are screens showing you exactly what you should be doing at all times, and the coaches are roaming around with minor corrections and encouragement. There will be machine work (rowing, skiing, biking, etc.), kettlebells, weights, bodyweight exercises, weighted balls, resistance bands, jumps, agility work...all kinds of movement to challenge yourself. There will be so many different types of squats, and RDLs, and presses. The workouts are thoughtfully designed to hit your whole body. If you ever played sports, you might find that this is a much better motivator to push your body than most other workouts. You get out what you put in (like everything in life), and the other folks around you help you push yourself in a low-pressure way. And with this type of circuit training, I find that I don't have time to get bored, which makes it more fun than just about anything else I do, workout-wise. And in my experience, the coaches are awesome. The first person I met was Grace, who seems like she runs shit around here. She's also a badass who I've seen push triple the weight I can on a sled with a full grown man on top of it besides. I'm more of a morning workout guy, and while I've had a bunch of different coaches, Rashell (who's leaving sadly) and Luther are often there in the AM, and always cool. They are just good people who help with my form (which is terrible), and are obviously in amazing shape. Shout out to Sisi and Cascio and Jade and all the other awesome folks as well. I like that many of them will just jump in on a class that they aren't running to get a workout in too. To be clear, F45 is not easy (if you actually go for it), especially at first. I wanted to complain that I'm too old for this shit, but I've seen multiple men and women with grey hair lapping me in some of the circuits. Personally I find that if it's a cardio session, chances are I'll feel like I'm dying afterward. If it's weights/resistance, chances are I'll feel like I'm dying the day after. But after a couple months of going semi-regularly, I feel good, and I almost enjoy the classes. Almost. Well, I think I'm in a cult. And I like it. _________________ *My first class was during "Wahlberg Week" and his voice would get on the loudspeaker and encourage us.

I was first taken aback by the three month commitment. It seems really expensive in the beginning. Along with a careful diet, my body has completely changed. Every class is different which wards off boredom. You can adjust the intensity by how your feeling that day - back off or challenge yourself more. All of the instructors are great and knowledgeable. If you are 21 or 81 - these classes will make you stronger. If you are someone who needs more individual attention, I would recommend getting to know at least one instructor and being regular with that class/time at least once a week.

So I used to play soccer but since I'm old and can't hack it now, I recently joined ClassPass as a way to figure out how to keep eating whatever I want and not gain 50 pounds. I've found out that I'm not a big pilates guy. Yet. While this wasn't necessarily my favorite workout I've done so far, I can report that it is FUCKING HARD, and judging by how every inch of my body was sore for two days, I think it will get you shredded if you stick with it. After I told a couple of people I went here, I found out that Solidcore is not usually people's first introduction to pilates. It's like picking knives over bean bags when you're first learning how to juggle. But the studio is clean and fresh (and close to me), the insane torture device they use for class is unique, and I liked the instructor (her allegiance to Beyonce notwithstanding). I think her name was Barbie. I think I may even come back some time soon, if I'm man enough. (So it's questionable.)
