I've been looking for a gym ever since the closest F45 to me closed down. I used ClassPass to look around and found BFT. I still love F45 but I am really enjoying BFT. It's a little bit different than f45 because the focus is on lifting weights and instead of timing, it's more focused on reps. The staff is amazingly positive- from The owner to the trainers to the people who are being trained. The expertise that I hear when they are explaining the session. Coach Cya is awesome! She is definitely like the head coach, professional and knows her stuff and super nice! You can tell there is a community vibe here. Location is great- in downtown Brea. read more

BFT Brea - Trainers Near Me - Brea, California

I've tried a lot of gyms in the area and many many fitness classes. BFT is top notch. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The community they have created here is great and super welcoming. The workouts are fun and allow you to progress. They swap between an upper and lower split with a hiit type workout the days between. You will see results doing these workouts in your overall fitness and physique. The coaches are awesome and they have formed a good team of coaches who know what they are doing and really care. The coaches will push you and know your name. They know members who had or have injuries and needed any modifications. I had been going to the gym and fitness classes for years prior to BFT and no one can compare the way these coaches can fine tune your form and improve your lifts. The gym its self is clean, as well as the bathrooms. Towels are provided as well. Music is always fun. The price can be a little costly but worth it in my opinion and not more than many similar establishments. They don't have hidden fees like some other gyms and they are up front with the pricing. The customer service is great. If you are on the fence I'd say try it out! read more

Circuit based group fitness. Located in a cute area with lots of parking. First session is free, but I think that I would have gotten more out of this workout if this would have been the 3rd or 4th. Went on a weight focused day, and I would have lifted heavier if I felt more comfortable and was aware of the "rules". 2 coaches on the floor, which meant that form feedback and corrections were in real time. This was my favorite part! Sia (I think I spelled this right) was my favorite part of this session! She is total vibes and I would come back just for her! read more

BFT is so much more than a gym -- it's a place that truly inspires you to show up for yourself. The trainers are incredible: supportive, knowledgeable, motivating, and always pushing you to believe in what you're capable of (thank you Cya). The environment is welcoming, encouraging, and challenging in all the right ways. Because of BFT, I've learned to take chances, and push past my comfort zone. The support from the trainers and the community has made a real difference in my confidence and consistency. I'm so grateful to be part of this gym and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a motivating and empowering fitness space. read more

BFT just isn't for me, though I can see why others love it. The trainers are truly fantastic--definitely 5 stars--but the way the classes and memberships are set up was disappointing. I felt rushed into a 3-month contract without a clear explanation of how the weekly class rotation works. I joined specifically to learn proper lifting form and was only available Mondays and Wednesdays, but no one told me the class types change weekly. That lack of transparency left me feeling a bit misled. The strength classes have long rest periods that make sense if you're lifting heavy, but as a beginner still working on form, I felt like a lot of time was wasted. I often had to hit the gym afterward to feel like I got a full workout. I wish they incorporated more cardio into the strength sessions like other studios do. Definitely try a few classes before committing, no matter what promotion they offer. read more

BFT is more than a gym, it's a support system designed to push you to be your best self. I am so thankful for all the time and attention the coaches have put into my fitness, especially Coach Cya with her limitless enthusiasm! If you are looking to find a fitness family, this is the place for you!! read more

Awesome people and awesome workout. Definitely recommend choosing this location as your gym.

Get ready to put in WORK. I started coming to BFT on the recommendation of some friends and I have been driving 30 minutes each way 3 times a week for a 5 AM class if you want to know if it's worth it. I love the energy that the coaches bring and that you're often working out alongside "off duty" coaches who are still 100% willing to encourage you, give you tips and push you to the next level. Coach Erwin & Julian are high energy, positive, welcoming and will take you to the next level of your fitness, but not in a way that gives you any kind of self doubt or shame. They are in your corner 100%. For those of you like me that maybe have a hard time sticking to fitness things for a long time - the system is set up in a way that you are focused for short periods of time (great for my squirrel brain) and able to "win" every time you go to class. TL;DL get to BFT Brea - you won't regret it. read more

BFT Brea - What BFT looks like at 445 in the morning. - Trainers Near Me - Brea, California

I want to start this review by saying that BFT Brea was nothing short of amazing! My wife and I are members of BFT The Woodlands and were in town visiting family over Thanksgiving. We reached out to the staff at BFT Brea about working out with them while we were in town. Without hesitation, they made accommodations for us to join their classes. Rahki and Cya personally reached out to us prior to our first class just to check on us and make sure we were taken care of. The energy, professionalism, knowledge, and attitude of the coaches was tremendous. They spent the entire class making sure everyone was okay and engaging with the participants. Their energy and positivity was off the charts! It was a great environment to build community and pursue fitness goals. After the classes, Cya and Rahki spent time with us, discussing things like our fitness history and Hyrox. We felt right at home. We love our home gym in the Woodlands, but I would not hesitate to join BFT Brea if we lived in the area. read more

BFT Brea will kick your butt! The instructors are warm and welcoming. They do a good job of giving you space to do your thing then pushing you when you need it. The facility is roomy, not over-crowded, and equipment is top tier. read more

I joined BFT about 3 months ago now and it has been the perfect blend of strength and cardio for me after being sedentary for years now. The variety of classes is awesome and I really appreciate how structured the workouts are. For someone with a busy schedule, it's nice to know that you got your hour's worth of exercise in a clean facility with individualized attention from the coaches (who have all been great by the way). Give it a try - you won't regret it! read more

I've only been attending BFT since April of this year but it's been a wonderful experience so far! They've created a welcoming environment hands down & I love the community feeling! I hadn't stepped foot into a gym since the end of last year, so I was feeling rusty & dusty-but the coaches were so encouraging the very first day/trial which made me feel at ease! Everyone is so knowledgeable and really kind at BFT Brea. If you're looking for a gym, I 10/10 recommend! read more

This place makes me willing to wake up early on weekend just for the class. It has convenient class times, I love how I can get my workout in at the end of a long workday. The evening class coaches, Coach Eric and Coach Logan, are very friendly and attentive. They will correct forms and come up with alternates if an exercise is too easy or too challenging. They also have modified workouts for me when I couldn't perform some exercises due to medical reasons. Actually, I have been to classes at all diff time slots and never had a bad coach. I would actually wake up in the morning excited on the days I have class scheduled! read more

Amazing place love the atmosphere and trainers are the best. You feel at home with the community Everyone makes you feel so comfortable and willing to help. read more

My husband and I were looking for a new workout routine that wasn't the gym. But we needed it to be exciting, form and strength focused, and with hours that work with our schedule. We luckily found BFT, only 15 min from our place. We've worked with Coach Julian, Erwin, Cya, Brian, and Pathu so far. They're all great, super friendly, and motivating. I feel safe challenging myself knowing they'll help with form and increasing weight to help me grow. I've done several different types of classes over the years, OT, dance classes, kickboxing, Muay Thai, barre, and Pilates. I will say I've never felt right at home as fast as I did here. BFT!!! read more

I was always curious to check out BFT since it opened and I finally did about 2 months ago. Due to health concerns, I needed to lose weight and get back in shape asap, and I knew I was not going to achieve that going to a regular gym. My cholesterol has dropped and I feel so much stronger! My favorite class is the 7pm class and coaches Logan and Erick are the best! They are very interactive, self aware and professional. They're always observant and give you tips to improve your workout. I highly recommend BFT Brea. read more

I'm not a hard core worker outer so I was definitely nervous when I signed up for a class here. However, I left feeling so good and uplifted after the class! The entire class was so fun and engaging and the coaches were really nice and approachable. There were people at different levels of their own fitness goals so I never felt like I was competing or not doing well enough. The equipment was all very clean and easy to use for me. I honestly was not expecting to feel so good after attending a class but I was so surprised with the experience! Will definitely go back here and try a different class! read more

BFT Brea - The studio space - Trainers Near Me - Brea, California

See all

We've tried the big gyms for years, but have never been effective because we didn't like going and didn't want to be there. But when we discovered BFT, we knew immediately that this was what we needed! A team environment and personal trainers. While we're pushed and challenged to grow with each session, it's both fun and rewarding because we're training hard alongside the familiar "teammates" we've met who are working just as hard or harder to be better versions of themselves, allowing us to encourage and assist one another during each workout. Every workout is different than the one before it, but even in this intense and challenging team environment, we still enjoy a nearly one-on-one experience with the coaches, as they instruct us in each exercise (to maximize its effectiveness) and encourage and challenge us to push through the exhaustion and finish strong! We appreciate the strong leadership and energy of Erwin, Cya, Pathu, Brian, Chris, and Zac, and how each and every one of them is genuinely concerned with our safety and success, making sure we do it right and do it well. Looking forward to our very next session. Thank you, BFT Brea! read more

LOVE this gym and the coaches! Great mix of cardio and strength classes that are always changing. You will not get bored with the workouts at all. I have noticed big improvements in my strength and endurance since I stared workouts out at BFT a few months ago. The community is awesome as well. Love the 5am crew! read more

This is by far the best group training I've ever done. It's a combo of strength and cardio which is perfect if you want the best of both worlds! The owners are really involved and it really shows in the quality this gym has! Also, the trainers are amazing and very experienced which is really hard to find these days. I highly recommend BFT Brea! read more

Went out of my comfort zone (used to be a yoga person for years) and joined BFT because I wanted to gain my strength back after giving birth to second child. And I am surprised how much I am actually enjoying it. Classes are always fun, it's tough and you get a lot done but working out with others makes it fun. The trainers are all super nice and knowledgeable. read more

I am so glad that I started BFT, amazing trainers that consistently pushes you to the limit. They have everything that you can think of; dumbbells up to 100 pounds, kettlebells, punching bags, rowing machines, bikes, squad rack/bench press, etc. Plus they got their fans and AC on full blast so you won't feel like you are working out in a sauna lol!! Shout out to my relentless trainers Erwin, Julian, Cya and Travis. Can't wait to transform my body to a higher level more than ever before! #5amCrew read more

I have been to many group training gyms but this one is by far the best! although it's a group setting, it feels like I'm getting personal training because the trainers are so involved and watch and help, so encouraging and positive, worth its weight in gold! if you have ever had a bad or so-so experience with group training, i encourage you to try this place out, you will not be disappointed read more

BFT has proven itself to be challenging in a fun and safe environment. Each workout is different, keeping me on my toes. I appreciate the positive motivation and coaching from Erwin. Up your fitness level and come check what BFT is all about. read more

My husband and I were looking to join a gym in our area that could offer us more than just working out at home or going to a regular gym. We wanted a solid workout without having to plan or think about it. BFT honestly has been everything we could have wanted and MORE! It truly has been life-changing!! It has been about 5 weeks since their soft opening and I can confidently say going to BFT is my favorite part of my day. I love all the coaches and staff as well as the incredible community that has been built already. Plus every workout is an amazing workout!! I am already seeing results; physically, mentally, and emotionally. Joining BFT was one of the best life decisions I have ever made. Truly grateful for y'all!! read more

That was honestly one of the best workouts I've ever had in a long time from a group setting. I've done a lot of these F45 and Barry and Orange theory classes, and this far surpasses all of them because it feels like you have multiple personal trainers with you. The coaching and focus on strength is what makes this better. The location is perfect in downtown Brea and the staff is passionate. read more

If I could rate BFT Brea 10000 stars I would! I've worked out at basic gyms in the past, and previous to BFT I did group fitness for roughly 3 years. Out of all the gyms ive tried nothing compares to BFT. In the last 8 months I have seen so much change that I never knew my body was capable of doing. I was always afraid of lifting heavy and didn't know what the hell I was doing! At BFT they have committed coaches who are so inspirational and truly care about all the members in and out of the gym. So thank you BFT fam I can't wait for what's to come :) read more

I love BFT! I do crossfit, and this was a nice change up. It worked and pushed me a lot harder than all the other workouts I've ever done. Loved getting coached by Coach Brian and Erwin! I loved the unique game system that BFT uses. If I didn't go to a far college, I would totally workout here! Highly recommend everyone to go to BFT! read more

I've done many workouts in my life. I've played football competitively and I have to say, this was one heck of a workout! Highly recommend anyone that needs a personal training touch and the motivational group atmosphere to try BFT Brea. They have a fantastic staff and a beautiful studio in Brea Downtown! I especially love the coaches that were very helpful and attentive like Brian and Cya! Go try BFT Brea! read more

Very motivating coaches . They help with form and progressive overload on weight's. I have tried Orange theory and this knocks it out of the park for sure . I am looking forward to continuing my weightlifting/weight loss journey here. Very beginner friendly as I am a beginner. But also see pros working out here . Thank you to all the coaches here . read more

I joined BFT a little over a month ago. This place far exceeds my expectations! The community here is phenomenal! Everyone is welcoming and supportive! I waited to post because I wanted to make sure this place was right for me! It is! Erwin who is one of the coaches is thorough, knowledgeable and highly motivated! He has helped me with my training by taking the time to show me how to do certain exercises correctly. Another coach Logan is also very knowledgeable and has guided me through many exercises helping me modify and improve my technique and performance! I highly recommend BFT! Like anything else you get what you put into it! The coaches here help you get to your fullest potential! read more

I've been going to BFT a little over a month and find the coaches very engaging and their workouts are challenging especially the cardio days. Erwin is knowledgeable and always encourages me to push myself harder which is something I need so I appreciate it. I am glad I gave BFT a try. The facility is clean, the members are friendly, and the equipment is top notch! read more

I am loving this new place! The workouts are awesome. The Coaches are so encouraging and motivating. I can't wait to see my results!

This place is amazing! I was looking for somewhere that allows me to work on both my lifting & cardio, BFT provides a great combination of the two throughout the varied weekly schedule with structured formatting so every class is different. Usually I attend the morning classes--coaches Jonathan & Gabe do an amazing job of improving each individual's fitness, as well as making it worth it to wake up for a 5am class. Highly recommend! read more

So glad I finally tried Body Fit Training!! Recently joined, but already so happy with the decision.The weekly workout progression delivers a perfect balance of cardio and lifting, the coaches make an effort to get to know you and push you towards your goals, and everyone is super friendly. Couldn't recommend more for everyone in Santa Monica that is looking for a gym community! read more

I love working out with all the trainers here! Everyone is super supportive -- trainers and those I work out with! They are also really good about modifying the exercises to accommodate my disabilities. They have 3 trainers helping during each class so that participants get the personal attention needed to do the exercises properly. I also enjoy watching my heart rate on the TVs and working to keep it at the target levels: it's an awesome way to apply gamification to workouts. read more

BFT Brea has been an amazing experience. I've been working out for a long time and always struggled with sticking to a program. Social media and internet always finds a way to show you more effective movements and training techniques that will make you re-think what you're currently running. BFT makes it easy for you and eliminates that feeling. All of the coaches are super knowledgeable, patient, and personable. As a member I show up once or twice a day to an amazing workout. If you're looking to really take your fitness seriously and understand how your body reacts to different types of training, this is most definitely the place for you. read more

I absolutely love this place! Erwin & Cya are exceptional (ALL the trainers here are amazing) Not only are they constantly educating, motivating & encouraging you, they make it fun & enjoyable to train. I have never done anything like this & honestly I was a little intimidated but I am so glad I joined as it has been a life changing experience for me! If motivation, flexibility & a personal approach is what you're looking for in training, then this place is for you! You don't have to be good at it, you just have to do it! These trainers have taught me how to push past my perceived limits & past that point you thought was as far as you can go (THANK YOU Erwin) - this place can do the same for you! read more

I have never been a big group class guy until BFT. I've done personal training 1 on 1 and standard gyms on my own and I have to say it's the best experience that I've had and mixes the best of both worlds. Everyone from the trainers to my fellow classmates have been extremely welcoming. We push each other to reach new goals especially the trainers. I've mainly worked with Erwin, Brian, and Julian and I have pushed weight that I haven't in a long time because of these guys. They make class fun and challenging at the same time! I would highly recommend trying them out read more

Can't say enough positive things about BFT Brea. First the staff, from the Owner down to the coaches, everyone you meet will inspire you with their amazing energy and enthusiasm for fitness. All smiles from each one of them and their passion truly shows when they speak to you. I really enjoy the variety of classes with a great mixture of cardio and strength training! Each session I feel accomplished, especially when I reach that gold medal! There are 2-3 coaches in each class giving you true one on one time and motivating you throughout the session. Their energy is infectious and gives you that extra boost you need when the fatigue sets in. The heart rate monitors worn during each session are a great way to track your real time intensity and something I have never seen another fitness gym utilize. Overall I love the concept of BFT, and I have enjoyed every single class I have done. I cannot wait to grow with the BFT Brea community! read more
