    This review is strictly about their policy, not the actual class or studio experience. I never ended up going. I signed up for their free trial, not realizing it was restricted to people living within 10 miles. I live just outside the limit...about 11 miles...and was told I didn't qualify. Their exact sms: "If you can show that you live within 10 miles with a valid ID, we'd be happy to make an exception for you! If not, no worries at all! We'd still love to have you join us--feel free to purchase a single drop-in class whenever you're ready. We can't wait to see you in action!" It rubbed me the wrong way. While I understand the need for policies, the tone felt dismissive and a bit out of touch, especially considering many people commute or work nearby. Decide for yourself if this is the kind of business you want to support. Definitely not me!

    Never did I think I would love a gym as much as I love The 12. It has forever changed my life for the better. By regularly going to the gym- I have felt more confident about my health (both body and mind). The trainers at The 12 always go above and beyond to make each class session fun but also effective. The fuel bar inside The 12 has the best prepped meals and protein smoothies (the blondies are fantastic here!!) I finally feel comfortable enough to fuel my body what it needs everyday and feel no guilt. Thank you The 12. I will never forget the impact this place has had on my physical and mental health

    Awesome Gym. Very big, very clean, very professional. I did the explode class with Coach Tori, she was awesome and the whole staff made me feel welcome and even gave me a congratulations first time gift card on my way out. Definitely a five star experience and a great workout.

    Took an intro class with lillyanna and loved it! It is such a nice gym. And then shanell at the front desk had this nice little surprise for me as I was walking out. So cute I loved it will definitely be back

    An email received from the owner of the 12 after speaking my concerns.

    I initially enjoyed going but did not realize how shady and un customer friendly their policies and "contracts" were. They make canceling and changing your membership extremely difficult until its too late. I initially spoke with one of the front desk saleswomen (who make commission) about transferring my membership from the unlimited to a lower session amount due to my full time job. After making you feel really assured that you have the best option for what you are requesting, it is not in your favor. They dance around the details and it makes me feel like these endeavors are based upon commission incentives from underpaid employees. There are constant roomers of increased rates and scam like policies here and I never thought it would happen to me after going there for 8 months. The trainers are amazing and frankly deserve better than the 12 management style. After speaking my concerns to the 12, one of the owners completely disregards my concerns and continued to talk down to me while simultaneously boasting about all of his businesses. I suggest going to CAZ, Orange Theory, or Moxi at this price point. Especially since this is where all the trainers go to after leaving the 12.

    Front desk staff person was not aware of this offer, and would not honor it.

    I was so looking forward to loving this gym. Things didn't start well when I told the person at the desk I was new and presented my yelp "check in for a free session".... and she wouldn't accept it. So FYI they don't honor the yelp deal they have listed on here. So I paid $25 to drop in since I was there and had been driving most of the day and didn't want to deal with figuring out a plan B I took a group class in the afternoon. The class itself was decent. the music was almost prohibitively loud. The exercises at the different stations were good, and varied. It was a big group, but I didn't see the instructor correct anyone's form even once which is not awesome. Especially not awesome was that a state of emergency was just declared here for corona virus, and the teacher was telling us to shake hands, high 5 each other VERY frequently. I'm not prone to hysteria about corona and not a germophobe (clearly, was at a gym, which at baseline are very dirty places), but some precautions are just reasonable and easy to take. Like wear a seatbelt. Like don't touch the sweaty people in your gym class. We were already sharing equipment, no reason we couldn't have mostly maintained the cdc recommended 6' of personal space.

I've been trying out a few different lagree studios in search of a lagree home lol and this was one of my favorites! Marisa was a great, attentive, hands on and a thorough instructor with clear direction. No one goes unseen and gives modifications/ alternatives to each position to either challenge yourself more or make it a tad easier. Perfect for beginner and advanced! Studio is clean with dim to dark neon lighting. I had bright yellow socks but appeared pure true white in the studio. Not too harsh where it interfered with the workout. If anything it helps, it feels less sensory overwhelming. Cubbies are inside and in view of, which is great since the instructor also runs the front desk. Some studios have the cubbies outside next to the door unsupervised where anyone can walk in and grab items without anyone knowing. Mirrors are on one side only but still visible from the back. They have a filtered water machine to refill your bottle as well. There are drinks and socks available for purchase. Not to mention it's located in the most convenient plaza with a smoothie shop, a target, poke Hawaiian restaurant, organic foods restaurant, ramen, cafe rio etc. Lots of healthy options to choose from after a good workout!

The place is spacious compared to other workout studios I've been to in the area. The format is mainly 5 stations with an A & B exercise.

I recently wanted to bring a friend to her first Saturday workout at F45 Costa Mesa. I thought I had successfully booked us both, but later realized I was 5th on the waitlist and she was 3rd. She had a class pass but wasn't able to book on her own. Coach/Owner Bobby stepped in immediately and worked with me to make it happen. What really stood out was his communication and care. Coach Bobby kept me updated throughout the process, even replying to my email late at night with status updates. He never once mentioned fees or made it feel transactional--his goal was simply to get us both into class so we could work out together for the first time. And thanks to him, we did. It meant a lot to feel so valued as a member. Afterward, I reached out to thank him and offered to pay for the class, but he didn't charge me. Most importantly, my friend and I had an amazing time working out together. Beyond that experience, the coaching at F45 Costa Mesa is outstanding. Coach Bobby and all the coaches are attentive, supportive, and they challenge you because they know what you're capable of. One day, during class, I wasn't able to perform a jumping movement with weights due to back issues. After class, Coach Bobby took the time to check in with me personally, asked questions, and offered mobility and strengthening tips to help support my back and improve my performance safely. That level of genuine care, professionalism, and community is rare. F45 Costa Mesa isn't just a gym--it's a place where the coaches truly invest in you. I'm grateful to be a member here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive and challenging fitness community.

I was going to a different studio and wasn't expecting to want to become a member here, but the intro sold me! Courtney and Mitch gave a thorough tour, and her class was so much fun! What really drew me in was the floor area - the class alternates between the bags and strength training so I felt like I was getting a well designed, comprehensive workout. The studio is brand new and super clean, I feel fortunate to be a founding member! In addition to Courtney and Mitch, Brian and Manny are awesome! Manny has been teaching members only clinics (free!) the past two Sundays and I've really enjoyed being challenged and learning from a professional in a small group setting! I also met Julia and Rumble's resident pup, Theo today. Everyone has been so kind, helpful and are truly starting to make it feel like a community. Rumble is located on the Peninsula on Newport Blvd near the pier. There is both street parking (which you have to pay for) and garage parking (which Rumble validates). They sell everything you need - gloves, wraps, workout attire and more. They offer complimentary towels, filtered water and lockers. You can also rent gloves for $3 a session. Booking classes is simple on the app, and you have the opportunity to choose your bag and bench. The studio is still new so classes aren't too full yet, but I feel like it's going to be picking up soon. They still have a ton of free intros going on and a bunch of specials for newcomers. Check it out! You won't regret it :)
