F45 is a concept that is blowing up around the world. A group "pod" based interval workout that…read morelasts 45 mins. Each day the "usually" switch between a upper/lower workout and a cardio type workout... weekends they go hybrid. I've enjoyed a few classes during the week and really enjoy them. The instructors motivate, correct and punish you all at the same time.. English, Courtney and Jen are all amazing and will push you to limits you didnt know existed. Work sets go in rounds with early rounds being longer and the final set being shorter but with more intensity... And just when you think you are at your max, English will drop a 45 lb plate on your lap during tricep dips or Courtney will have you do the ladder hops backward. What clear is members become family and push each other as well. I like that they have classes throughout the day and evening and the app makes it easy to book, read about the training and see who the dungeon masters... I mean trainers are. I think this program works well for someone that is looking to get in shape and follow a program and be part of something. I also thinks it's a great change of pace to your normal gym workouts. I try and go once a week on a low intensity run day or a rest day... trust me I think I enjoy the punishment Each pod has a variety of difficulty levels so you can find where you are at and grow with it. The diversity is great for your body and mind. I look forward to my next programming change as I will use two weeks straight at F45 to transition to a new program. Make sure you are on time to stretch and warm up as you will push yourself hard. The facility has 2 bathrooms, towels and a water machine so you can fill your bottle. And at the end you will get a eucalyptus wet towel and it feels like heaven at that point. I would be remiss if I didnt mention that while the company is from Australia, Mark Wahlberg did a stint to prepare for a role and loved it so much he invested and loves it. You never know who you might see there... maybe even me...

If you check in on Yelp, your first class is free for first-timers. You can borrow gloves there, but I would also suggest bringing your own bandages so your knuckles don't blister. It was just two people in class, so our instructor Yo really helped provided feedback on our forms. She was encouraging but also helpful in her suggestions. Parking is available in their lot behind the gym (go west on marine and you'll see the lot entrance).

The coaches are very motivating and invested in helping you reach your goals. The workouts are always different, high intensity, and more challenging than what I was used to.

You'll enter the building where you see the Gate 14 signage and you'll head towards the back left to get to class. There are cubbies as well as a water filling station in the back. Everyone in the class was really encouraging and there's a big emphasis on form, which I appreciated. The instructor Al made sure to go around and give feedback while also pushing everyone to do their best. As it was a HIIT class, you get a great mix of strength and cardio. We did go outside for short runs, so note that for your choice of footwear. Overall it was a really fun class that definitely burned some serious calories.

He welcomed my daughter and I and ensured that we weren't loss without being overwhelming. I felt like I had the flexibility to make the class experience my own. I had some back pain going in so I was worried I'd be pushed too hard. Not at all. I left feeling energized. Facility is top notch they definitely gave attention to detail. I will be back!! Thank you.

Another Barry's location I've visited…read more Pros: Parking lot without a need to validate, wide open lobby, some of the instructors from the other westside / LA studios Mehs: Lockers were super tight, red room was small/ like Brentwood size, far if you live in samo or other west la areas All said, if you have the time or want to take a class with your favorite instructors, this is another solid spot. Just make time for the travel down to South Bay.

She was always very welcoming and all the instructors and front staff are good about answering any questions 4/5 amenities. They used to give a sweat towel but now it's just a wipe down towel. But the eucalyptus towels post class are amazing. There is a bit of an upfront additional cost with the equipment needed, especially on leg days since you can't bring your own equipment. There aren't showers and you SWEAT during these classes. But the bathrooms are always clean. Oh and also they have the rains for after class. Overall the environment at this location is amazing and the class is one of the best models out there. Definitely recommend

I've been coming to F45 Hermosa beach for about 6.5 years. I love this place! Trainers (especially…read moreLizzy) are vibrant, motivating and happy to be here. You can get a great workout, they have anything from really light weights to really heavy weights, depending on what you're comfortable with. I feel like I have completely changed my body and have become more lean and fit, while still being able to eat all the foods I love . They also always show modifications on workouts if you need too. There's a bathroom with shower and towels available for the workout.

I would like to commend Deviny Ho, the operations director, on how she handled a situation…read more.... I witnessed a child that was finished with his session and waiting for his mother to pick him up. He was a quite restless. He played with equipment in an unsupervised area. When asked to wait at the lobby, he brought a heavy medicine ball to toss in the lobby. When asked to put it away, he played with merchandise in the front. Deviny kept her cool the entire time, speaking to him in a friendly manner, suggesting things for him to do in the lobby, while he complained how bored he was waiting for his ride. Note to parents: if you know your child can be a handful, please make it an effort to be there early, waiting for your child to finish. This is a business... a sports training facility, not a day care center! The busy staff does not have time to supervise on a 1on 1 basis.
