I had an AMAZING work out at Be Fit Training - Irvine. I booked my class on Classpass and I am so happy my schedule allowed me to squeeze in this workout. It was a "Strength" class with Joey and we were working on our upper body for the day. As with all first times visiting a studio, I arrived 10-15 minute early to sign waivers and settle in. Liz at front desk was super friendly and helpful. This studio is very thoughtful and well equipped. In the lobby there are lockers with a number pad for you to set your number code and merchandise for sale. As I entered the studio area, there is a water fountain for you to refill your water bottle. They have plenty of equipment and stations, so you don't need to bring anything. Just wear some comfortable workout clothes and tennis shoes. The work out area has many screens for information. I appreciate the visuals! Before class started, Joey came around to greet everyone. For the first timers to this studio, he asked about our injuries or areas of concerns. For the day of my class we had a warmup, 6 different stations, and a stretch/warmdown. Station 1: Seated Tricep Extensions Station 2: Kettlebell Bent Over Row Alternative Station 3: Military Press Station 4: Bench Press Narrow Grip Station 5: Floor Press Station 6: Incline Row The screens had visuals and helped us keep track of which rep we are on. Joey came around to check on our form and provided feedback so we could make the most out of our work out. I really liked how encouraging and motivational Joey was. An instructor with good energy like Joey is so important for my mental state during work outs. I really felt like I was being my best self during this work out. These classes change up every week and it'll be different each time you come. I only mentioned the above as an example. I really like changing things up from my usual work out because it really challenged my body to do better. Looking forward to trying more of the classes here at BFT. I'll be keeping an eye out for Joey on their schedule. I enjoyed this class enough to want to add BFT to my permanent workout routine. read more

I've taken close to 100 HIIT classes through ClassPass, and unfortunately, I've never had an experience as uncomfortable as I've had at BFT. During my first class, the instructor, Raymond Elie, made a comment to me while I was putting my belongings away and happened to yawn. Throughout the class, he repeatedly singled me out in front of everyone, criticizing my energy and commenting on me not smiling. As a first-time visitor, this felt unnecessary and embarrassing, especially when trying out a new gym is often intimidating. Because of that experience, I didn't return for months. I chose not to leave a review at the time and simply moved on. Recently, I decided to give BFT another try. Unfortunately, the same instructor was teaching. As soon as I walked in, he immediately commented on my facial expression, asking why I wasn't smiling and (attempting to) joke about it with another staff member as if I wasn't right there. It made me feel uncomfortable right away, particularly since I noticed he did not make those comments towards any of the older women or men who walked in with a neutral expression. A few minutes into the workout, while correcting my form during a side plank, he made another remark - "I can tell you don't give out a lot of hugs" - after I misunderstood his instruction to "hug" the bench with my foot. At that point, I felt discouraged and honestly uncomfortable. It was the first time in all my HIIT experience that I genuinely considered leaving a class midway through. I have no issue with instructors correcting form. However, demeaning comments about my face or character are not constructive and very belittling. Again, I noticed he did not make these comments towards any of the men in the room or older women. In the 3 years I've been taking group fitness classes, no instructor has ever commented on my facial expression or tried to purposefully embarrass me in front of other class members. I hope the owner takes this feedback seriously and relays it to the instructor. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be returning. read more

Love this BFT gym! I've been going for 4 months now and have never been so motivated to exercise. Having the classes pre-written means I just have to show up, be encouraged by the amazing coaches and other members, and see the results build! I really like the heart rate monitors that make each workout a game and help me stay on track of how hard I'm working in each exercise. I love the variety of the workouts that keep things fresh and interesting so I stay motivated, but consistent enough that I see actual results. The mix of strength, cardio, powerlifting, endurance, and stretching means that every week I get well rounded workouts and don't burn out doing too much of any one thing. Definitely the best classes style gym I've ever been to. read more

BFT - DANA POINT LOCATION: If you're looking for an incredible workout, BFT Dana Point is the place to go! The 50-minute cardio class was hands down the best--and hardest--workout I've ever experienced. The intensity, variety, and energy make it a total game-changer. The team here is fantastic! Huge shoutout to trainers Jonathan and Sara for their motivating and encouraging coaching, and to Gabe and James for creating such a welcoming atmosphere. They push you to give your best but also make sure everyone feels supported, regardless of fitness level. I can't recommend BFT Dana Point enough if you're ready for a challenging workout that delivers real results. Looking forward to my next session! This place is LEGIT! You will get great workouts for sure, it really pushes you! read more

I've been a member to BFT for 1 month now, I remember my first class with coach John I barely made it I took a longer break during that class, but what really caught me is the flawless attention to service from the coaches. The gym is always spotlessly clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I've seen a significant improvement in my fitness levels since I joining, thanks to their well maintained equipment and diverse classes. I'm looking forward for all my fitness results in near future Im positive with the help of all coaches I will strive my goals. I'm grateful for all the attention and dedication. Thank you all - Gabriel, Jonathan, Austin, Drisana, and Max the owner. Keep it up! read more

Tried their free class and enjoyed my time. I didn't decide to move forward with a package but definitely bookmarking for when I'm ready. They have two trainers on the floor and they help you with your form. That's super important to me - as someone trying to start their fitness journey, I was a little intimidated but they are so welcoming, supportive, and helpful. They have a tracker that goes on your body and you can see how you're doing throughout the workout and get medals for hitting certain metrics. As a competitive person, this is a huge plus for me. If you're on the fence, definitely worth the try. I'll be back someday! read more

So happy to have a new gym option! This place is great! Just had my first workout during the soft opening. Coaches are super encouraging and it was a great atmosphere. You get paired up as you work though the exercises and all the members were encouraging too. This was my first workout in a long time and I had to take some breaks. There was no pressure to push too hard, coaches came by to check on me and made sure I was good. A safe workout is so important. They have lockers in the front to hold your items. Bathrooms were clean and large which is good if you need to change into workout clothes. The program consists of different classes on each day and appears to be progressive. Can't wait to be as built as Austin one day! read more

Love BFT I am a member of the San Marcos branch and so grateful if I am out of town I don't have to miss out on a workout and can stay consistent by going to another location. All locations do the same workout I've gotten lean and strong at BFT, and highly recommend for anyone looking for an awesome fitness community that does a great balance of strength and cardio training Thanks BFT Irvine for having me, everyone is super friendly and ahhhmazing! read more

I never enjoyed a workout like the ones that BFT has to offer. with the heart rate monitor and the group pushing you with 2 or 3 couches to guide you and push you Try out their classes, spe ially the cardio you and cardio hit!!! read more

Overall the classes that I was able to attend were great and a lot of fun. The instructors were helpful and encouraging. Cancelling Membership: I was billed on 3/21 I decided to cancel the membership and sent my cancellation email 4/4, was charged again on 4/21 for the next month with my last date being 5/21. Was told I needed to send a notice on 3/20 in order not to be charged on 4/21 Overall the cancelation experience is awful. I understand that I may be naive about the business model of gyms like this, but it overall feels scummy regardless being in the cancellation end of it. read more

Love this place! I've been coming since they opened and it's more than just a gym, it's a community that they have cultivated there. From the coach's to the other gym goers everyone is so supportive and encouraging. Only downside is there is no showers or sauna type perks. Fingers crossed they change that soon cuz then I'd never leave. read more

This place is amazing! The classes makes me push myself, seeing others in the class work so hard!! All the trainers (and others in the class) are so motivating and helpful throughout the workouts, correcting your posture if needed and providing additional helpful tips. If you're struggling to do a certain movement, they'll provide several alternatives so you can go at your own pace. Love the variety of workouts you get to do - strength, cardio, running, powerlifting, boxing, stretching... and each class is only an hour so it's super easy to commit. You need to go check it out!! read more

This gym is the Best I've ever been to. The motivation is awesome and the staff is super friendly. My workouts are always the Best here. I definitely feel I'm getting stronger. Best regards, Nolasco read more

Best Training Ever!!! I've tried numerous fitness studios both individual and franchises over the years and BFT is hands down the best. It's not just a workout, it's an actual training program. It's the only place where you actually get to track your progress on major lifts. They have so many different class templates that include strength, hypertrophy, cardio and mixes of everything so you're always challenged and never bored. Both the cardio and strength classes are heart rate monitored with zone targets for each exercise. The coaches are all amazing. All of them are super friendly and knowledgeable. With serval coaches in each class you're really getting personal training but in a motivating group environment which is so fun and at a great value. You're partnered up with one or two other members so you're always motivating each other. After coming here for a month the members are already friends. I've never actually known who the owner was at any of the number of fitness studios I've been to. Max, the owner here at BFT Irvine is always there with a big smile motivating us. He knows the members by name. BFT truly feels like a family. This is the place to meet all your fitness goals and have a blast every time. Not going anywhere else! read more

This new gym in Irvine BFT is the Target to F45 Walmart. Same oversized monitors that show you the demo with the timer on the monitor and getting points based off heart rate. What sets BFT apart though is the weights are heavier, new, and they have a squat rack so you can really load up. I can't compliment the programming enough. They mix in strength training, conditioning, HIIT, cardio, etc. Its not the same mundane 8-10 stations A-B format you normally see. You come in one day versus another and you're not sure what they're going to throw at you which keeps the body guessing. Jonathan and Gabriel are awesome trainers that focus on form and keep you engaged with "yelling" at you to push for more. I'd recommend to give this place a try and to be honest you won't get it with only one day, you'd need at least a month to understand it. read more

I availed their shred free class and the experience was amazing! I really liked how the coach/trainers would assist and help us with the proper and correct form while doing the exercise. Very motivating and would love to continue training here. Also, I would commend how easy to contact them and their responsiveness in terms of my feedback related to my membership. Kudos for Austin in making sure he has the right answers for every inquiry. Long story short, thanks for addressing it and my support would always be with this gym! Looking forward to have my training here! Let's see where this experience would bring me! read more

I started BFT last month and I love it. The classes are both strength and cardio based which is exactly what I needed. I find BFT way better than going to the gym since I don't need to plan my workout - the coaches do it for me - which makes it easier and helps me stay committed. Within a month, I've seen a difference in my body even though I used to go regularly to the gym before that. Oh and the coaches are amazing! And you don't ever skip leg day:)! read more

Best gym in Irvine. They offer a combination of cardio and strength training, and all coaches are super professional and helpful. Lost 12lbs since joining read more

BFT was what I missing in my fitness routine! The rotation through the classes keep the workouts fresh and exciting and prevent me from burning out. All of the trainers are very knowledgeable and have helped me level up way faster than I have been able to before. read more

I love BFT. I was looking for a new gym that had a good mix of cardio and weights and I found it! All the trainers - Gabe, Jonathan, Jenny and Ray- are very knowledgeable and helpful. They really take the time to watch what you're doing and help correct your form. They are a big part of my great experience there. The classes really push you to your limits. It's had a great community feel too. Highly recommend. read more

Great energy, clean gym, great coaches. The General Manager is super nice and knows his weight lifting stuff! Highly recommend!

I just joined BFT in August and I'm OBSESSED with it! The classes and coaches at BFT Irvine are 10/10. Can't wait for my next class!

My wife and I have been going to BFT Irvine since opening and have loved our experience! This has been such a great way to consistently workout without overtraining. We have seen strength and endurance progress throughout our time here. So excited to see how our journey progresses! read more

Best gym in OC. I was a founding member of this gym and 400plus classes later it is without a doubt 5 stars. I am down 40 pounds and stronger than ever! The programming is top notch with the right amount of cardio and compound strength movements. The coaches under head coach Gabe G. are some of the best personal trainers and provide individualized training at group class prices (Ray, Kathryn, Jenny, and Connor). The one issue has been inconsistent, inexperienced, and high-turnover in the general manager position but this has been mitigated by the amazing front desk staff member Railey. The community will make you feel supported and enjoy each workout especially at 5am. A must try for those looking to workout consistently in 2025. read more

This is more than a gym. It feels like you are going into a new family and everyone is so supportive. Don't get me wrong, the workouts are not easy but worth it. I feel soreness in places I didn't know I had muscles. The owner Max is amazing and the Manager Austin is such a hard worker and accomadating. I recommended trying a few classes for free. You will be hooked. read more

Nice brand new place , coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful . I have been enjoying the gym since opened. I like the detail attention that coaches given to each member. I really appreciated it. Highly recommend. read more

Highly recommended gym class. Low pressure social environment yet still high intensity training regiments. Great balance for high intensity training. Have your heart rate tracked throughout the workout by pros, or choose not to. Choice is always yours. Makes going to the gym extremely fun and far more fulfilling. read more

I've been working out at BFT since they opened in mid-August, and I'm obsessed. Pushing my late 30's and wanted something challenging and that I could keep doing as I get older. I love how structured the program is and how it combines cardio and strength training in a way that pushes my limits, but never so much that I feel I can't go the next day. They set short and long-term goals so there's something to achieve in the now and something to look forward to. If anyone is a video gamer, their medal system gamifies fitness in a way that releases the same endorphins. All the trainers have been great to work with, and I cannot recommend it enough. read more

This gym is great! my wife was the first one to get in the gym and I was a little bit hesitant on joining at the beginning, it turned out to be great! The training blocks are excellent and keep changing so you don't do the same exercises every time. My son and I have now joined and are really hooked up on becoming fit and healthy! read more

Don't sign up for information about this gym with your phone number. They will text with you different numbers and send you spam. Not a good look. read more

I leave every workout so glad that I came. It's a hard workout that is made fun -- the coaches and other members are very supportive and encouraging. I definitely recommend. read more

Really love this place! I've been to many other fitness studios but nothing beats this one. You never get bored with the exercises and you start sweating really fast. Coach Gabe is really an all star! He is really friendly and loves to help you and be there for you! Really recommend this studio and the wonderful environment !! read more

I've attended BFT the past 4 months so far and have really enjoyed my workouts there so far. I came from working out alone in a gym, so I was looking forward to working out in a group setting for motivation. The trainer I worked primarily with was Jonathan, but all of the trainers I've came across were just awesome people and always provided great motivation. The variety of types of training were all great leaving me feeling good with the workout. The facility is always very clean (including restrooms). Would highly recommend to others!! read more

Great facility, excellent trainers and legit program. All levels welcomed and encouraged. Been a while since I have engaged back in this for several surgeries and repairs from active youth. Shaking of the rust is fun here! read more
