Love this place! I come just about everyday and love seeing friendly trainers and it's like cheers bar. Everyone knows your name. They really care about me, my progress and my fitness goals. Cheers to F45 4S Ranch read more

Had an amazing opportunity to train with the team and athletes at Carmel Mountain Ranch, and try out F45 for the first time! I absolutely loved it, in fact I haven't enjoyed a workout this much in years. As an ex competitive IFBB bodybuilder, going to the gym, and doing a routine workout has just become completely mundane for me, loosing complete enjoyment in working out! Until I had an opportunity to try out F45! This workout is no joke, but will leave you feeling accomplished, and motivated to take on the world. The team is extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. Pushing you to give it your best effort every time. I highly recommend giving their workouts a try, my personal favorites are the MKatz , Red Diamond and Hollywood classes. read more

I get up early and drive 45 minutes each way to F45 even though there are literally 9 gyms in between that are more convenient. But I will choose to continue to go here as long as they will let me. The facilities, the coaches, the fellow members, everything makes you feel welcome and taken care of. It sounds cliche but I do feel like we are one big family. Team CMR for life. read more

I have been a member of F45 since its grand opening. The facility is spotless, the workouts are attainable for all levels, and the trainers are extremely knowledgeable in their field. I attend the 6:35 class time on a regular basis and am trained by Robbie and Nicole. They bring the fun, excitement, and encouragement EVERY DAY without fail. This location is new, but has already established a heartwarming community of kind people from all walks of life. Highly recommend. read more

F45 Training Carmel Mountain Ranch - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been going to F45 Carmel mountain for a month and do not regret getting a memebership at this place. I work in a corporate office and do not have time to go to the gym. F45 does intense training for only 45 mins in a day! It's a win win. I spend less time working out and actually see results. Obviously, it takes time to see results but I've been going mostly everyday. The place is super clean and neat!! The staff is AMAZING. They care so much about me, help set realistic goals, and motivate me to do better. I honestly feel so welcomed when i come and do my workout. I ask a lot of questions regarding fitness and the staff is very competent and willing to answer no matter how many questions I have. There is nothing this place can change or improve I am so happy at this location!! The workouts can totally kick my ass, but after completing the classes I feel so accomplished. Thank you F45 staff!! read more

I'm always a bit skeptical of new 'gyms' but have seen the results F45 produces so when the Carmel Mountain location opened, I joined. And it doesn't feel like a gym, it really is a community. The energy levels and support of your 'team' is unparalleled. We push each other and hold each other accountable. And even though I'm exhausted at the end of every workout, I leave feeling great, knowing I pushed my body harder than I would on my own and I had fun. It's so easy to get bored with workouts, your body hits a plateau and you're stuck doing the same thing everyday. F45 has changed that, everyday is different and I go 6 days a week. I can't imagine going back to a 'regular gym'. If you're looking for something new, that will change your body and your mindset, sign up for your free week, and then grab your membership because you'll be hooked. read more

Best gym around!!! Love my F45 family! They kept me motivated during lockdown with online trainings or when I am traveling for work! It really is a community that becomes family! Owners and trainers are outstanding! Come join us!!! read more

I'd been hearing a lot of good things about F45 so I decided to try it out. At first I tried the studio in PQ but when I heard they were opening one in Carmel Mountain Ranch, I decided to join that one because it was closer to my house. I seriously LOVE it! So little about me so you understand the context of my review. I had always been pretty athletic in my younger days (high school and college sports), and ran half marathons. However, for the last 6-7 years I'd been working at a fairly stressful managerial desk job and just didn't have the time or energy to work out. Total sedentary life. It got so bad I had "frozen shoulder" and various knee and hip issues. Doctors gave me anti-inflammatory and pain meds and sent me to PT. But ugh, PT was so boring and just didn't seem to help. What I needed was to get out, lose weight and start moving! So as part of my new years resolutions, I decided to do all that. But like most new years resolutions to work out and lose weight, it is so easy to stop (I had in the past). What has kept me going this year is F45 CMR! It is so fun that I want to go! If you're unfamiliar with the format, basically there are different exercises/activities that are arranged in "pods" and you just work at each exercise till it's time to move to the next one. The duration of each exercise is just long enough - or too long when I have to do burpees ;) ! The combinations, number of reps, cardio/resistance/strength training, etc. vary so it's never the same. Weekly class is just 45 minutes and Saturday is 60 minutes. Lots of intensity in a short, bite-size time commitment. I'm down 8lbs, and overall I'm getting stronger and more toned. Also, everyone at the studio is great. Jason is so nice and has been so accommodating, and all the trainers are so passionate and motivating. I love it so much I signed up for 6 months, but I know I will be extending. It's just a part of my life now. read more

The Carmel Mountain location only opened in 2020, so if you see a lot of recent reviews, that is the reason. After trying a few classes at various locations, I knew I would join, but I waited for this location to open being closer to home. For now, they are open six days with enough class times to accommodate many schedules. More classes will be added as membership grows, but they have what I need right now. If you know the F45 fitness model, you know the classes are 45 minutes long except for the hour-long Saturday classes. The classes are intense, keeping the heart rate up. As with anything, you get out of it what you put in. I would encourage beginners to give it a try - you can keep your own pace. There are also modifications for those with physical limitations or injuries. The classes change daily. The routines change daily. There is no room for boredom or predictability. 45 minutes is enough time to get a solid workout without dominating your schedule. I have to mention the coaches at this location, Jason, Nicole, Rob, & David - the weekday regulars. They bring encouragement and excitement every day. They are committed to helping us reach our goals and are quick to recognize our personal achievements every day. I'd like to respond to a review from Joe T. This feels like sabotage. He has only reviewed ONE business as a Yelper and this one is it. Nicole is never on the phone and is extremely connected to all of us members. I'll ignore the personal attacks on her and her accomplishments. Joe T. keeps a scorecard of the number of trainers, degrees, certifications, blah, blah, blah. I have to wonder if "Joe T." is actually Brian or a friend of Brian. You might find either one of them at the Rancho Penasquitos location, but good luck getting in a morning class - it's so packed that you'll be wait-listed. read more

When selecting a fitness studio, I look for the following: Class Format: Each class is programmed to last 45 minutes (with the exception of Saturday workouts which are an hour). With that said, demos do go quickly but F45 provides screens all over the studio with the workout movements. So long as you can correspond your station number (provided on cute little rubber coasters) with the number on the screen, you'll be fine! This is a great quick workout that targets your entire body. I love how F45 segments the week into either strength or cardio days so you get the best of both worlds. Coaches: the coaches at this location are great and each individually have a lot to offer. For example, coach/owner Jason has a background in professional sports. His years of experience in strength and conditioning transfers well into group based training as he always gives exceptional cues and corrections. Coach Nicole is an extremely energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable fitness professional. She always greets clients with a warm smile and provides great words of encouragement throughout the workout. Her background in indoor cycling has proved quite beneficial as she is able to correct riding posture whenever applicable. Lastly, Coach Robby's CrossFit background has provided him with the knowledge to help clients safely execute complex and powerful movements such as cleans, thrusters, and kettlebell swings. He is also the hype man of every hour! In all honesty, the Nicole and Robby combo is exactly what every early morning client needs: fun, encouraging, and knowledgeable. As for the other coaches, I haven't had the opportunity to train under their guidance as much but from my brief interactions everyone else seems nice and attentive during the workouts. Community: Call me crazy, but there's something about suffering through a hard workout that really brings people together. I have had the pleasure of meeting some exceptional people through F45. Everyone is so incredibly nice and there is a great sense of comraderie amongst the clients. Owner David also adds to the lightheartedness. He is often at the studio in the early hours and is an absolute delight. I love my 6:30am crew! As someone with a background in fitness (CF-L1/AFAA Group/ AFAA PT) and who is a serial studio sampler, I would repeatedly recommend F45 CMR as a great place to get in a fun, challenging, and efficient workout. read more

Since my first workout, I have LOVED this fitness studio. I have been constantly for the last 2 months and I don't know how I ever survived without it. The trainers are fantastic, friendly and welcoming. While the workouts are hard, the group fitness vibe gets me to push myself way harder than I would alone at the gym. This gym offers accountability! No one cares if I don't show up for my workout at the regular gym- these trainers will ask where I've been because they care! Best gym ever. read more

The best health decision my husband and I did was sign up for a membership here! This place has helped us change our lifestyle, get healthier and be more fit! read more

Don't let the photos intimidate you from trying F45-you don't have to look like an Olympic athlete to join this gym! From the moment I walked in, all of the staff have been welcoming and so helpful. They always have a variation for every move and you will see a difference in your stamina and strength very quickly! The Carmel Mountain Ranch location is so perfect, easy parking and quick access right off the freeway. I had a choice between this location and PQ and what sold me was that I didn't have to worry about getting wait listed and the classes are not so jam packed that I could be sure that my form is safely monitored by the expert trainers. Go ahead and try it free for a week, what have you got to lose? (well except maybe some lbs! :) read more

Great experience. Great precautions to accommodate COVID but still ensure a great workout. Highly suggest.

This place is a game changer. I was bored with my workouts & have no time to prep a routine so I started at F45 at another location. I saw they opened one down the street from me and i was sold. It's so worth every penny. If you want results and positive energy from great people and don't want to think about it every day?! F45 Carmel Mountain is a MUST! You may even meet your bestie along the way!! To say I LOVE it is an understatement!! I'd like to have my fave 8:15am class back soon though! That's my only gripe only b/c it's my best time before work! read more
