First time going to an F45 studio and it didn't disappoint. Coach Kayleigh and Coach Jacob did a great job introducing me to how the classes are set up: * Mondays and Wednesdays are cardio / plyometrics days. * Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays focus on strength building. * Fridays and Saturday are hybrids that focus on full-body workouts. For my first day I tried cardio / plyometrics. It was a fantastic workout. Each station has a designated number and you're placed in groups of 2-3 people with the option of choosing from two different workouts at each section. Kayleigh made sure I was paired with a seasoned F45 member, since it was my first time. Every group is assigned a number and rotate to the next workout section. The coaches assist as needed and there are tv displays that demo how to do each workout, when to begin the sets, pause, and move to the next station. Kayleigh and Jacob did a 5 star job. I appreciate how clean and organize they kept the gym. Their process is great and it worked for me. If they weren't assisting, they were organizing the equipment or cleaning. They stayed engaged with the group - all this at 5:30 AM and there was a lot of us. Thank you for the great experience!! I felt very welcomed, informed, comfortable at the studio, and got a great workout. read more

We've been coming here for over a month now having transferred from F45 Carlsbad Village after a few years. Parking is a lot better here since it's all open and uncovered and there's other stores around so it's a big lot. Also, they don't play music insanely loud to where my watch is yelling at me for the loud noise environment. They also have two instructors for bigger classes which is a huge plus so they can make sure everyone is doing the stations correctly. Oh and they have sweat towels provided so you don't have to bring one! We love it here so far. Highly recommend this studio! read more

The hype is real at F45. The workouts are fun and anyone can get a good workout. The Coaches are part inspirational speakers, form correctors, older siblings and drill instructor. Each Coach is different and I like that I have choices with upper body or lower body workouts. I have lost 14lbs in 45 days during their Challenge. Lunchtime is my usual class time. Just 45 minutes! read more

F45 Training Bressi Ranch - I look better in my photo from two years ago, so here it is again!! - Trainers Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I wanted to share my five star review on Yelp as well as Google! Bressi Ranch F45 is not just a gym, it's a bright spot in my day, a family of fitness friends. I have been a member for over two years and have visited at just about any of the times they have available. Whether it's before work, after work, or on the weekend, you're sure to see friendly faces. The coaches are top notch!! They encourage, push, and will teach correct form and help you modify exercises, if needed. Jess is the manager and she is a Firecracker! She is on fire for Fitness and will help you get the most out of your F45 Bressi experience. Autumn is the owner and keeps this gym immaculate and with the newest equipment. As for your fitness journey...it takes the guess work out of working out. You will have a different workout each day and accomplish both cardio and strength. Join the family, you won't regret it and your body will thank you for it!! read more

This is a fantastic F45 location owned by a delightful couple, Dean and Autumn. So many positives... It is immaculately maintained - floors vacuumed after each class, studio deep cleaned every week by the owner himself and even equipment wiped down with disinfectant wipes during the class. The equipment is laid out in an organized fashion so that you can quickly transition from station to station. The team at this F45BR is absolutely first class! I love how they constantly keep an eye out for you and correct your form so that you get the most out of your work out. They are also pushing you but in an encouraging, safe way. Kudos to Dean and Shanon! This studio is located in the new Square at Bressi Ranch shopping center. This strip mall is filling up fast with some excellent stores and restaurants. There is a large parking lot but if you are going to a mid-day or late afternoon class allow time for parking because of the popularity of the other businesses in the complex. I agree with the testament the F45 is life-changing - it has been an instrumental part of my personal transformation. If on offer, I recommend checking out a free trial class. read more

Over all my assessment of this exercise regimen is that -it is great if you are the type who needs a structured program, -great for cardio, -over all, most likely not the best for strength training. F45 is a 45 minute regimented training that is divided into two types of classes: cardio and strength conditioning (training). In each class you spend a few minutes warming up then go through a set number of stations, doing 2 - 3 thirty second continuous movement exercises (interspersed with fifteen second rest periods). For cardio, this is probably one of the best 45 minute trainings you may do - certainly will burn more calories and get your heart beat racing more so than say, running or biking. The only workouts I've done in the past that would be more rigorous, again, speaking just cardio wise, would be sustained martial arts exercises, punching, kicking, jumping, over the same time period. When I used to train martial arts my thick cotton uniform would sometimes end up drenched in sweat. The F45 program is a notch below that, but still very rigorous. So if you're looking to burn calories or build cardio endurance heart beat wise, F45 is a top notch choice. Where F45 isn't so optimal is in strength training. This is for two reasons: (1) F45 training doesn't necessarily lead to optimal strength conditioning because it doesn't lead to guaranteed muscle failure during each set. When it comes to lifting weights, or any kind of strength conditioning, while simply moving the weights or encountering resistance for a number of repetitions will build strength, it is momentary muscular failure - that last rep where you can't even complete the repetition, that tears the muscle and prompts it to rebuild stronger. Scientifically, tests have shown that following momentary muscular failure and the resultant muscle tearing, the muscle rebuilds stronger some 24 - 48 hours after the event. So, when it comes to strength conditioning, simply moving the weights or encountering resistant may increase strength, but hitting momentary muscular failure in your set is what really builds strength. In traditional weight lifting, the way to do it is to use the correct weight to hit muscular failure somewhere between 6 - 10 repetitions, rest, and then do it again, for a total of at least 3 sets, with perhaps 1 of those sets being a warm up, a warm up being defined as a set where you do not hit muscular failure. With F45, you have a high probability of every single set you do being nothing more than the equivalent of a warm up. The chances of hitting momentary muscular failure in a rushed set regulated only by time, are minimal. In F45 you have say thirty seconds to jump in there and move the weights around. Are you going to hit muscular failure even once during that set? Maybe, maybe not. It depends on whether you use sufficient weight and whether you push yourself to the point of failure, and whether time doesn't run out during whatever set you are doing before you hit that point. Certainly picking an arbitrary point to end your set - such as the elapsing of a set time - is Not the way to ensure hitting momentary muscular failure. Momentary muscular failure is hit as a function of maxing out the weight versus repetitions, it is not based on a rigid number of reps, certainly not based on a rigid passage of time. (2) The second reason F45 training is not suited for strength conditioning is the increased likelihood of injury. There are exercises that even I, who have been lifting heavy weights since the age of 18, no longer do, such as bent over rows. Weighted squats if not done properly and in perfect form may also lead to injury. The chances of injury in this rush rush do as many sets as you can in thirty seconds then run to the next station and hurry up again, are much higher than if you were doing weight training at a regular gym, without any concern for the running of the clock. As well, although yes there are two instructors going around correcting form, we're talking about classes of up to 35 people with only two instructors where participants are in a hurry to beat the clock - I'd say that the chances that participants will do something wrong, incorrect form, during class are much higher than that they will do things perfectly, and incorrect form times weights are what lead to injuries. Stepping back from this criticism, the bottom line is that if you're the type who simply won't do it unless forced or guided, then perhaps F45 is for you. F45 is also great for cardio, calorie burning (weight loss - although I can't imagine an out of shape overweight person really being able to keep up with the pace in the first place). F45 is less great for strength conditioning, where the chances of injury are relatively high compared to traditional relaxed pace weight lifting in a gym, and the muscles are simply not going to get hit to momentary muscular failure enough to ensure optimal strength increase. read more

I cancelled my gym membership for F45. F45 has surpassed my expectations. Classes are 45 minutes of continuous movement. MWF are more cardio based (squat jumps, lunges, burpees, lots of body weight movements) and TTh is strength exercises with weights. Both kick my butt. 2 coaches are roatating on the floor. The owner Dean and Autum are great and built an amazing team. Their Studio manager Azin kicks butt and has the best smile. Christian is super friendly and makes the class fun. Vanessa is no joke, she almost made me puke but really nice. Kaitlyn is very knowledgeable not just in the gym, but in what to eat if you're needing help with that. Overall they check tick each of my boxes on my list for what I need in a gym. If you are in the area check out a discounted trial membership! read more

F45 Training Bressi Ranch - You'll look like this after every workout! - Trainers Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I have been at this location for a couple of years. The workouts are challenging every day. The trainers take great care to ensure proper form and are encouraging. The facility is always super clean. Definitely worth the cost. read more

My co-worker and I did the 7-day free trial and we had a blast! It was super easy to sign up and book classes and there was always space. The max is 27 people for a class, but the most we've ever seen was about 20 people. Coach Dean was super friendly and helpful. He made us feel very welcome and walked us through the exercises so we didn't feel completely lost. I loved the energy and organization of F45 and would definitely consider a membership if the prices weren't so steep. Nonetheless, this week was one of the most challenging but fun week I've had in a while in terms of exercising. Definitely give the trial a go if you're interested!! read more

So, I a regular member at Orangetheory. Unfortunately, my studio is currently closed. I have a friend who does F45 and she raves about it. I decided to give it a chance as I'm desperate for a HIIT workout and this location of F45 offers outdoor workouts. Not gonna lie. First day was hard!! However they offered me a trial week for $14. I signed up and did it and feel like it got slightly easier but not too much. Trust me, each day is still a challenge! They ended up having a no commitment deal which sounded just perfect for where I am right now. I really do want to eventually return to Orangetheory but since I can't right now, I really appreciate F45 being an option. The coaches are so great and while my dream workout does not happen in a parking lot, I feel that F45 is making the most of it and there's something to be said to working out in and slowly waking up to natural sunlight. F45 has turned out to be an amazing alternative to Orangetheory and I'm so happy and grateful to have them as an option! read more

I love this location. Whenever I visit family for the holidays, I always make sure to work out here. The trainers are friendly and even recognize me, even though I only go a few times a year. The manager is friendly and is always accommodating. read more

F45 Bressi Ranch has literally been LIFE CHANGING for me. After giving birth I struggled for months with my weight and overall fitness. I tried Orange Theory and many other studios and gyms. Nothing kicked my ass the way F45 does! The coaches are all extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. The workouts are seriously kick ass and they host 8 week challenges at no extra cost. I completed their 8 week challenge and lost almost 16lbs of fat, gained 3lbs of muscle and my body fat % went down 8.1%! If you are serious about your health this is the place for you. read more

F45 Bressi ranch and all of the coaches there are phenomenal. I really needed to get into a fun, challenging and new routine because I was so bored of going to the gym by myself. I was not motivated like I wanted to be and I knew what I needed was an atmosphere that was going to motivate me and push me more than how I would on my own. I love heart rate training and seeing how hard I'm working in the classes gives me that extra push. I've been regularly going to F45 for about 3 months now and my mindset and my body have seen an enormous change and I credit all of that to the coaches and the workouts that F45 provides me. I've made awesome new friends from F45 that are into fitness and it makes coming to class that much more enjoyable. I'm so thankful I found this studio!!! read more

I can't say enough great things about F45 Bressi Ranch! The trainers are all awesome and welcoming. They take the time to know everyone's name and really make an effort to pay attention to everyone's form during these intense classes. Having the workout change everyday makes every class a challenge, but a fun one! Plus having the class only be 45 min makes getting a workout in everyday a no-brainer. Class always starts right on time, which is also much appreciated. F45 is definitely a welcomed addition to the Bressi Ranch/Carlsbad community! read more

I can't say enough good things about F45 Bressi Ranch! Let's start by saying these workouts are quick and EFFECTIVE! This workout is for anyone at any level of fitness! The owner/Coach Dean is awesome and will make you feel confident & comfortable with these workouts. The location is spacious & super clean!! Check them out! read more

Great HIIT workout that's led by some amazing trainers (Shannon, Mike, Emily and Morgan). Amazing personalities while still kicking your butt. Workouts change daily so you can expect constant variety. Class driven workouts are fun and competitive which makes it all more fun! Don't forget to smile! read more

I grew up playing team sports, and like some people when they enter college and on, I transitioned from a team environment to working out by myself at the gym. It wasn't very productive to say the least - I was inconsistent, went months on end without having a solid workout, and the cycle continued. Fast forward and I started my current job down the street from this F45 facility. My coworkers had just completed their one week free trial and convinced me to give it a go - to be completely honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. I've heard of HIIT places like OrangeTheory and so on, but my coworker was adamant that this place was different. Simply put, she was right! Dean and his team of trainers have been nothing but encouraging from the moment I entered F45. Their energy, along with the rest of the team that I work out with on a daily basis, has really motivated me to take control of my health again - I work out something different every day, I eat healthier, and I have the support system that I was lacking by going to the gym myself. I started just over a month ago, and it's been one of the best decisions I've made towards my fitness and health goals! Now my other coworkers are joining me at my lunch workouts, and that brings even more energy to the workout! Bring a friend, try the free week, and see how F45 can make that change for you like it did for me. read more

I came down here from NorCal to visit family and was excited to hear that a F45 opened nearby. Owners and staff were great. Facility is clean and in order. I've gone to a few F45s and this one is up to par! Thank you for the hospitality! read more

I love the team at F45 Bressi. They continue to motivate and push me to the next level when I need it. I am grateful for all of their hard work to keep us safe and active during this pandemic. Cheers!!! Come work out with us. You'll love it. read more

I joined this gym because my wife had done some F45 workouts at another facility and we heard this was opening close to our house. Over the years, I've done all kinds of workouts. Crossfit, MMA, Boxing, Globo Gym. In my opinion, this is BY FAR the best workout system in which I've ever participated. The workouts vary daily. The classes are 45 minutes, and offered at convenient times through the day. I'm constantly telling people about F45. Other reviewers touched on it, but enough can't be said about the coaches at this facility. With so many options out there, it's the people that truly set this gym apart from the rest. Dean, Shannon, Michael, Emily, and Morgan keep the workouts fun, but also push you to be better. They help you with form, with exercise modifications (my knees are not what they used to be), and generally create a positive environment that you can feed on during the workouts. I don't generally leave reviews, and from the looks of the classes they don't need my help, but I felt it important to do my part in making sure these guys get recognized. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next workout! read more

I've been a member at F45 for a little over a year now, and I'm totally addicted and committed to the workouts! I love a good challenge for one, and you certainly get that with the different workouts, and mixture of HITT and strength training. Friendly and knowledgeable staff add to the experience. I know many of us are ready to get back in the studio, yet the coaches have managed to make sure we get a great experience outside. Highly recommend for anyone who loves to stay in shape, or get in shape! read more

I love the classes, the positive energy, all of the coaches take time to help you. I look forward to the classes and the fun workouts.

WOW!! Is all I can say. I was totally hesitant about doing this. I haven't exercised with such intensity in years. Literally since I was in the army over 36 years ago. I am very glad that I signed up for the F45 training. They allowed you to have a plus one so I brought my husband. Our first day was Tuesday and we did Tokyo disco. Believe me, it's nothing like what it sounds like. 12 stations, (6 upper body and 6 lower body stations) 35 seconds with 25 seconds to rest between sets. (Hope that's correct) I had never seen my husband sweat while exercising. He was drenched and so was I. I was proud of us for finishing the 45 minutes. We both felt great the next day until I woke up Thursday morning and could barely lift my arms!! My husband was just the opposite. His legs were killing him and we had another class to attend tonight. Let me tell you! I barely made it through tonight's class but coaches Shanon and Michael were extremely encouraging. As sore as I am, I'm looking forward to the Saturday class. Thank you F45!! read more

F45 Bressi Ranch is simply the best! It is a community, a family that always motivates and supports you. Dean is a great owner, he is really committed and approachable plus he always makes you laugh, but at the same time it is ensuring you keep the right form to avoid any kind of injuries. The coaches are also incredible, but if Brian is near do not doubt that he will push you to be better and he will definitely help you reach your goals. read more

I travel a lot which can make it challenging to fall into a class or program while you're on the fly, especially when you are picky, like me. While in Carlsbad I was lucky to find Shannon at F45 in a google search and took a chance. The staff made me feel at home, right away. The workout was intense and uplifting and I left feeling like I had made a bunch a friends in Carlsbad. Do yourself a favor and try F45 in Bressi Ranch. read more

What an amazing place! Keep it up Bressi Ranch, Coach Christian, Azin and Brooke are amazing individuals who really do care about the success of the location as well as the members. Thank you all for creating an fun and safe place to workout. This place is clean, fun and organized. Thank you Bressi Ranch! read more

This is the best workout facility I have ever been to! The trainers are so nice and learn your name so when you walk in you feel like family. It's like my own Cheers! The gym is very clean. I look forward to coming here everyday. read more

Solid facility! I was in town traveling for work and checked out this location. Everyone was very welcoming, fun and friendly! Great music and great workout! Facility was very clean too! My instructors were Shannon & Emily they are wonderful! I highly reccomend this location and the workout is phenomenal ! read more

Awesome workout and fantastic team! Bressi Ranch did it right with this setup and location!

F45 is an awesome HIIT workout that incorporates several styles - keeping the workouts fresh and your muscles confused. This specific location is hands down the best one I have worked out at. The owner, Dean, has his heart and soul in the place, and you can tell he really cares about the health and well being of his customers. The trainers are all super friendly and upbeat; which is something that really helps me - especially on those days I don't really feel like working out. I've been to other gyms where it's clear the trainers aren't happy or into it - and it really puts a damper on the experience. Dean has also made massive efforts to adjust to this whole COVID thing, enabling his members to continue working out. This is very important. In a world full of so much uncertainty, it's nice to have one thing to count on - a fun yet brutal workout with friendly and passionate staff. All of the members seem very friendly as well, I'm sure that's because like attracts like. If you're looking for a place to get a great workout every time where you also feel welcome, this is the place for you. read more

I've heard quite a bit about F45 from their initial launch, and the experience did not disappoint! Hands down the best workout I've ever had since I've started my weight loss journey 11 years ago. I've been a trainer for over four years now, but this was something else. I've also taught various group classes, yet, I assure you this is nothing like what you've experienced. Nothing compares to the upbeat and motivating environment that is presented here. Dean and Brian are both exceptional coaches and extremely motivating. I took advantage of their trial but was sold after the first workout and look forward to continuing to come as much as possible! I'm confident that you will get results if you put the time in and eat well! One of the biggest benefits is having a streamlined workout and constant support in your journey to help you push to the next level. For anyone that is contemplating this, take the leap and join. They have a multitude of progressions and regressions for anyone that needs it. I have a messed up shoulder/hip/part of my low back, yet I was able to push through the workout with minor modifications and no pain what so ever. I can't say enough good things about this place. Come join us! read more

F45 Bressi is amazing! This place has it all - great workouts that are always changing so they keep you motivated, encouraging coaches who truly see you and ensure you hit your fitness goals and a super clean environment. I worked out pre, during and post both of my pregnancies so I can say with confidence they are able to modify to any fitness level. Whether you're looking for muscle mass, weight loss or just a fun environment to train as a team this is it. One class and you'll be hooked, I promise! read more

When I first started F45 Bressi Ranch. I thought it would be a short lived fad that I would get sick of - just like every other workout I've attempted. I couldn't have been more wrong. I fell in love...with the workout first and foremost but also with the people. This is a gym for everyone, no matter what fitness level you are at. Every day is different and you will find yourself constantly challenged - yet supported so you can get through it all. They have adapted through every obstacle during Covid-19 and continue to make sure all of us members have the opportunity to work on ourselves in a safe environment. I love all the trainers but special shout out to Dean, the only person who can get me to push myself through a morning cardio session! read more

The trainers here are friendly and know how to help if just getting into fitness. You can tell there is a strong community of members here.

Did 7 day trial - loved the classes - but membership cost is ridiculous ! It's more expensive than most private fitness groups, orangetheory, and Crossfit ! I don't mind paying $$$$ for a good gym but this is a little crazy . read more

Love this gym. The owners and the trainers are top notch and very motivating. So glad they are so close to me. Highly recommend anyone from all fitness backgrounds to join. read more

Went to a 45 minute class with a friend. I see all of these great reviews, not sure if these are regulars or just their friends but I have never been so humiliated at a fitness facility. I met with Autumn and at first I thought this was going to be great. I went to this class not just for fun, but maybe to find an actual facility to get into shape since i am working in Carlsbad 2 days per week. Midway thru our conversation, she tells me in front of other people that this will help me get back into shape after giving birth as she is doing the same. WHAT? I do not have any children, hence I have never given birth. I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life. I literally left in tears. I later found out she was one of the owners. Perhaps this franchise needs to find better people to represent them. Never will I go back to any of their facilities. I feel like they thought it was ok to fat shame out loud. Well, it is not. People looking to get into shape are looking for a partnership for their fitness journey, not humiliation and emotional distress. I am still upset. read more

Awesome family. Great coaches . Great pepeopl. The best workouts. Keeps you active. Thanks for everything you do for me and my well being
