I cannot believe it's been over 6 months since I first joined F45! Although it's quite an…read moreexpensive membership (I pay to go 8 times a month), this workout gives me the boost I need when I'm tired of my other workouts (walking or running). I've never come to F45 thinking, "This again?" Each workout is unique and challenges me physically and mentally. And just when I feel cocky and think, "How is this workout going to make me sweat?" I am sweating, thirsty, and waiting for the 45 minutes to be over! Sometimes I just drive home in a stunned silence that I got through the workout without collapsing. Also, the coaches here are phenomenal! Some will show you the correct form, others will motivate you by shouting encouraging words, and others will sometimes work alongside you on a machine or two if you don't have a partner to keep you motivated and giving it your all. My most hated exercise is burpees. I like the part when I have to get on the floor, but then I have to get back up again! But I am really proud of myself for doing several burpees in a row and not staying on the floor where it's comfortable and safe. ;-) Tired of doing the same boring workout? Want a workout you don't have to think about setting up? Just want to start an exercise routine that gets you off the couch? No matter the reason, F45 is the perfect place to get moving!

There are two main reasons why I give F45 Training a Five Star rating…read more The first reason: these workouts aren't boring. That's super important because most exercise bores me. And if it's boring, I'm not going to want to do it. But that's never an issue at F45. I've found every session to be different enough that I never get bored. The classes are really well-designed. You know when you sign up what the focus of your class will be. There are usually 10 stations that you complete in 45 minutes, but the exercises at each station are different every class. Each station has two different exercises, typically one for the upper body, one for the lower body. You can choose to do either or both. The second, and most important, reason I give this gym a Five Star Rating is the trainers that work here. Especially the early morning staff, Josie, Lauren and Sarah. There are usually at least two trainers working every class. They continuously circulate around the room, so you never have to wait long for one to come by and check to see if your form is correct or if you need a modification. If you have difficulty doing an exercise, a trainer will instantly modify it or give you an alternative exercise. And that's another reason F45 gets 5 stars from me. See, I can actually do very few of the exercises as demonstrated. I need modifications at almost every station. But I know that in less than a minute a trainer will pass by and quickly modify the activity into something I can actually do. So, I always get a great workout here. F45 Training really is a great place to workout. The trainers that work here are incredibly supportive. There is a really positive, high energy, vibe here. Sessions often end with people high-fiving each other. I love that! Mikey C says: I highly recommend F45 Training!

She is in it for you and your long term success. I highly highly recommend Amanda for anyone out there ready and wanting to make a change in their life for the better. She is your person.

They don't like to address anything else...I've called the 800 number they give for complaints regarding management such as my issue with CAPRI (Operations Manager) & the HYPOCRISY , and the professionalism. I called Friday 5/15, talked with Adonis. He let me know he was going to report all this & he would follow up with me in 3 business days. Well that would have been no later the Wednesday May 20th. This weeks gone & I've yet to hear from ANYONE. This shows the inconsistency on management over all. No sounder CAPRI can do things like this "Do one thing, THEN enforce rules. It's a REFLECTION OF LEADERSHIP. & still no call back from Adonis on the "upper management team" So again...As you can see if you scroll down the list of reviews, they NEVER address anything else, they just reply to 5 star reviews., never the real issues.
