That's the reason I keep coming back. I've tried other F45 studios but the Park Slope location has the best staff by far.

Even though you'd think you'd be tired, you actually wind up having more energy for your day at work. Although the exercises can be difficult, Joanna makes sure that you are (i) doing them correctly with good form so you don't hurt yourself, and (ii) that you are working at a level comfortable for yourself. Thus, even though it's a boot camp and there are many good people that attend, you don't feel left out because Joanna will custom tailor the workout to your level. That being said, I feel like I've come a long way and can now do many of the more difficult exercises despite my asthma. I highly recommend Bodiesynergy! You won't regret it!

Emilio is a great coach and is always there to correct your form.

My trainer, Paola, has been absolutely amazing from day one -- she's knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about helping her clients succeed. What stood out most to me was how comfortable and supported I felt during every session. Paola has this incredible way of pushing you just enough to challenge yourself, without ever making you feel overwhelmed or out of place. Each workout was different and thoughtfully planned, keeping things both fun and engaging. No two sessions were the same -- one day we'd focus on strength and toning, and the next, core stability or endurance. Beyond her expertise, Paola's warm personality really sets the tone. She's encouraging, professional, and always explains proper form so you know exactly what you're doing (and why). I've learned so much about fitness and confidence in my own body through her guidance. The gym itself is clean, welcoming, and designed with women's comfort in mind -- it feels like a safe, positive environment to focus on your goals.

I am so lucky to have found this place. If your serious about any ANY physical/mental performance…read moregoal. Cedric is THE top. I have watched in awe as my body now: - recovers while doing other physical movements -catches its breath while running - does what my mind tells it to far beyond what I thought I could. (Have literally pushed 5 more reps, by hyper focusing on the muscle even though I couldn't feel it and relaxing all else. I watched myself amazed) Cedric Cosiac has been my physical and mental trainer here for the last six months. He has trained not only my body but my mind, to such an extent that I can accomplish vastly more physically than I ever thought possible for myself. I am writing this because I have just stepped off a high intensity dance shoot involving everything from ballet to acrobatics, parkour, martial arts, hip hop, to a few things we just invented. I was the only person on camera. We were supposed to have two days to film but we only had one and had to race against the clock as the sun was our light source. This means I get little to no breaks in between takes where I am required to dance full out in huge bursts. I was required to stay in muscle fatigue for 12 hours. But I PULLED IT OFF WITH ENERGY TO SPARE ! Why ? Cedric. The active recovery and breath training allowed me to maintain energy and recover while moving. The endurance training we do allowed my muscles to last longer and perform better. (I told him I had to do a high intensity dance piece on film months ago and he designed a routine to match exactly) His overall attention to my mental state during our training allowed me to remain completely calm and slow my heart rate, focus, and not waste energy. Everyone was in awe of what I was able to do. I genuinely wouldn't have been able to pull it off had it now been for our training I used EVERYTHING he taught me and it's just the beginning. He has shown me what I am capable of. I do not know of a greater gift than that.

Over the past seven years, as I've moved to different neighborhoods, I've been to five F45 studios…read morein Brooklyn and Manhattan, and this was by far my worst experience. It's too bad because the facility is excellent and the trainers are fine, but all other F45 gyms have passionate owners and support staff who genuinely want you to succeed. This one was all about taking your money. On top of that, they do a sloppy job, double-charging for weekly passes and fees. What finally turned me away for good was after dealing with Yuliya over email and the phone to try to correct a double billing mistake. She was abrasive, defensive, and rude (at best) even though she had obviously made a mistake. Horrible customer service. If you are trying to decide between F45 studios, look at any of the other three in Brooklyn. It's worth a short commute to avoid this one.

I was looking for a high-intensity workout experience. Well, I found it! Kim and Luke are now the owners (or part owners) of this branch. Kim is a fabulous coach as well as Aaron, Gerrit, Sidney (and others I know less well). I find the class experience motivating and fast paced. During the class the coaches go by you as you are doing a particular movement and give you great tips to maximize what you are doing. The exercises accommodate people from all different fitness levels, from novices to people who are seasoned athletes. Here's what's happened to me: I now have lower body fat, much more endurance, better posture and, best of all, I am now sleeping more deeply --- like when I was young. This is all in six weeks' time. And, BTW, I am the oldest person in these classes: in a few weeks I will be 71. I feel decades younger.

I first came in because of an offer for a first class free. My rep showed me how everything worked, including the heartbeat monitor on the arm band, which they give you for free on your first visit. An instructor walked me around the studio explaining the class format and made sure I was comfortable with water and a towel. When class started he periodically checked in with me but was not overbearing. I loved how while everyone worked out individually, seeing everyone's stats on the screen did make it feel like a team effort. I really appreciated learning about the different heart rate "zones" and later did research on this when I got home. My sales rep explained the pricing tiers yet was not pushy which I appreciated and I signed up within the week. The app made it very easy to book, see stats, etc. The club has fun challenges each month and really does have a sense of community. It was always clean and you can tell instructors here really care about the members. I only quit because I ended up moving to another neighborhood but this gym truly did change my physique while I was a member, making me stronger and noticeably had an impact on my cardio endurance. I'd recommend this gym to anyone.

The classes keep me on track, and I'm seeing real results. I never, ever thought I'd be someone who enjoys jogging on a treadmill, but now I actually look forward to it. Coach Maddy brings great energy and creative themed classes. I love Coach Frankie's music picks--they make early morning workouts go by faster. And Coach Nai has a great way of offering helpful tips without making anything feel awkward. Luke is always so welcoming at the front desk. This location stands out for its thoughtful amenities: they offer gym and shower towels and a full locker room--something you don't always find at other storefront studios. OTF Park Slope is also a fun way to meet more people in the neighborhood, and the Instagram shout-outs add a nice touch of motivation. I hope corporate OTF will upgrade the app and the fitness band to more modern tech - I'd love AI analysis of my stats. I recommend Orangetheory Park Slope to anyone looking for a fresh, encouraging way to get into fitness.
