I would like to preface this review by saying that every member is entitled to their opinion. And that one of the hardest parts of running any business is keeping all of its clients happy But I had noticed something different recently in the vibe of classes but couldn't put my finger on it until I read a recent review pointing out some "negative" issues with the trainers. I'd like to offer a different perspective because I do feel like changes made in policy in reaction to one persons review have now created a downgrade in my experience when coming to this F45 First of all, bringing energy and motivation to group fitness classes is one of the hardest things to do on a daily basis. So when coaches are actively training along side members during classes I feel like it's bringing a level of energy that otherwise can be missing. It's one thing to offer verbal encouragement but another to show it. I know for myself, it lifts my energy level up when coaches are active participants in class. I know I'm giving 110% that day if they're in it with me. Also in regards to dancing and filming during class. Again, it's about perspective. Dancing, is also part of creating energy in the class atmosphere. It's putting smiles on faces when you're struggling thru your workout or your life. Part of having the two coach format, is not so that they can stand on opposite sides of the room and clap their hands. If they are interactive and play off each other, I would consider it a positive thing. Filming often makes it onto social media which helps to promote the business, I'm sure the coaches goal is not to portray themselves on social media as lazy people who are goofing off during work. I think it may be misconstrued that because the coaches are actively participating in classes or finding different ways to motivate or entertain people. That they are somehow "not doing their job" But I find that that's not the case. They're still aware of the clients, giving direction, offering encouragement, and giving corrections on form. I would like to point out that diversity in types of coaches and coaching styles is actually key in the group fitness format. The best way to attract from a larger more diverse client pool is to foster an environment where not every coach feels like the same carbon copy of every other coach that just clocks in and "does the thing" Also to finish. Community, is one of the HARDEST things to build in any gym. And when you're building community then your personal lives outside the gym starts to blend in with members personal lives. So you can call it "drama or high school" but that's what happens when you blend friendships that extend outside the gym. Those friendships are genuine and the time fostering community is always uncompensated, but again add up to memberships that benefit the business. Just because there are conversations had that aren't... wow that Marathon, that was a tough one. Station 3 what a killer. Doesn't mean that that needs to be taken away. Please don't turn this into some corporate robot gym read more

Always a killer workout with F45 Training! I've been to the Alhambra location a few times, but wanted to switch up the scenery this time. I booked "High Rollers" with Shannon and Michael through Classpass and felt the burn in my core the following day. Michael was motivating and encouraging. Doors opened at 5:15 PM and class began at 5:30 PM. Shannon's pup greeted us at the door. Shannon gave us a rundown of the workouts before we started our warmup. Workouts had the same format as the Alhambra location. Only difference is, wherever you stand for the warmup is the station you'll begin the workout. This location didn't provide towels or a cooldown stretch after the class. They have two individual gender neutral, clean restrooms with thoughtful amenities, such as hair ties. Cubbies are located in the front of the class to store your belongings. Water refill station is located in the back, next to the restrooms. Parking was hard to find behind F45, but I found parking across the street on the rooftop. Parking is free, which is a plus! read more

Went from a class pass. Did a Saturday 60 min class which I guess is different from their usual 45 min class. I forgot the trainers name but he was amazing. Fixed form and really walked around to explain and help! You don't always get that in a group class. I'd like to go back and experience some of the other classes they offer. All members were very nice and inviting for my first time. I was SORE the next day! read more

I have been coming to f45 for almost two years and it's by far my favorite workouts! I not only come for the works outs but for the coaches especially Shannon who challenges me outside my comfort zone and helps me build confidence in my strength! read more

I originally chose to edit and take this part out of my original review, but after reading through the replies and noticing how some things are being framed, I think it's important to include the full context. The "high school drama" I referred to isn't about friendships or conversations outside the gym. It's about a coach directly telling me that during the last paid challenge, they knowingly manipulated the results because they didn't like who actually won. That's not just childish It's unethical. People paid to be part of that challenge and worked hard for those results. To change the outcome based on personal bias isn't just unfair, it damages trust. As for the conversation about community, I agree, building a community is hard. And when done right, it can be one of the most powerful parts of a gym. But community should never come at the expense of professionalism or fairness. There's a difference between genuine connection and favoritism, and unfortunately, the line hasn't always been clear. I also want to address the coaching style being described. I completely understand that bringing energy to a group class can be challenging, and when done well, it's inspiring. But there's a big difference between a coach jumping in for a few reps to hype the room and both coaches working out the entire class while new or less experienced members are visibly lost, doing movements incorrectly, and risking injury. That's not motivating, it's unsafe. A coach's job is to lead, correct, and ensure everyone is moving safely. And that should never be compromised for the sake of entertainment or content. And to be clear: I can't be the only one who has noticed these things. I've heard from multiple people who've shared similar concerns. And honestly, I remember not too long ago when classes were consistently sold out, with waitlists and the need to book days in advance. That's changed, and it says something. So while I understand some may want to frame this as a personal issue, it's clearly bigger than that. Maybe after 500 classes, your perspective shifts. Mine certainly did. read more

Staff are great, interactive, inclusive and provide corrections as needed. They have sharp eyes for everyone in class and provide corrections for improving form or making sure we don't hurt ourselves. I think it's really cool when they record people during workouts for their social media content, and motivates me! Another amazing aspect of this gym is the community built by the way the trainers engage and take time outside of their regular shifts. Not only are they showing up rain or shine, they make every class personal and challenging. 10/10 would recommend starting a trial (they run them seasonally!) to find all of this out for yourself!! read more

Hosted my birthday with my favorite trainers (Armando & Michael) at this f45 location! They exceed my expectations and hosted a fun workout class for my friends and family! Made sure everyone was having fun and all my guests enjoyed it !! Can't thank them enough for an amazing birthday celebration! read more

Most gyms in LA can feel intimidating and unwelcome. Aside from the incredible workouts, I feel like I found a hidden gem and a community that makes me want to show up everyday. Our first day in May 2022, Shannon made us feel welcome! All the other trainers are awesome as well! read more

Coming from someone who weighed over 200 pounds (2 years ago), this place has become a second home. This gym and these people are the team you want on your side when you want to begin your transformation. Not only have I lost weight and gained definition. But i've learned how to care for my body while pushing myself so hard. I have done things I have never done before, because I hear the voices of the trainers speak louder to me than the negative self talk. Literally hear the voices of Emily and Michael saying "come on Michael, Burn it out". Ashley bringing her light when you arrive greeting you with a warm smile. Or Leigha, Erik, Henry and Lauren giving amazing feedback on proper form and correcting my posture. Or Armando "doing us the favor" of pushing us that one second longer. OR COACH MAIA giving us the energy we no longer feel we have with 2 more sets left. Or Sam who is just leads with her heart and captains a community we are all so proud to be apart of. I hope if you're out there and reading this, you make the choice to join F45. Trust me, it will change your life, as it has changed mine. #F45Family read more

This place is practically my 2nd home! I love everything about it! The classes are so much fun, the coaches are all super awesome and all the folks who workout are extremely nice! The amount I pay per month is the BEST compared to other gyms/cross-fits I've previously gone to. P.S.The location is convenient because there is always parking available! read more

I love belonging to some kind of boot camp and CrossFit is a little to high impact for me right now so I joined F45. This is a great change of pace even though the pace is high. It's a great workout and I like the coaches because they keep it fun. Armando has some good jokes and the Asian goddess (I forget her name and I'm sorry) doesn't just yell at you. She does the movement with you so you don't feel like a dummy trying to fix your form. I love that the classes are outside but the hardest part is staring at Don cucos and knowing it's happy hour. Give this place a try . First day is free. What do you have to lose except a few pounds. read more

I have been going to F45 for almost a year now. F45 is perfect for me because I'm a mom of a 2 year old and I work two jobs. My life is so busy, so getting a 45 minute sweat sesh in to start my day, makes me feel so much better. F45 has the best workouts and you never get bored because you are doing new exercises every day. All the trainers are super friendly, knowledgeable and are always willing to help and push you to keep going. read more

Love that classes start at 5:30am, I am able to complete my workout before work. The coaches are great at guiding you and give you an extra push every now and then. read more

Let me start out by saying this business has been very flexible and accommodating during Covid. They were doing workouts at the park and zoom classes in the beginning but now they are doing workouts in their parking lot. Considering they are on the 2nd floor they bring down their equipment down daily. They have many stations, a lot of different equipment to workout on, but their staff.... wow! The trainers are incredible and knowledgeable. Even the clients that come, even if the workouts are tough, everyone is having a great time. I'm dying and definitely not cheering all the time but once I'm done I feel accomplished and full of energy. This place is amazing during Covid, I can't imagine how they are once they are in their beautiful gym. Awesome job F45! read more

I don't understand why people bring their dogs to the gym. This place is always dirty smelly trainers are super lazy you actually can see dogs hair floating in the air read more

Love this place! I get bored quickly with most workout routines so F45 helps trump that. Plus the trainers here are super motivating and just plain old good people.

LOVE this place. I just moved cross country by myself and I did F45 back home so I wanted to join another F45 community and they welcomed me so warmly. First friends I made in LA were because of F45 Burbank. All the coaches are great especially Shannon, Ashlee and Mando. They push me without being overbearing.

I randomly found this gym set up outdoors in October 2020. I was so pleased how well the equipment was set up for an outdoor workout and the super friendly staff with vast knowledge of fitness.

Have been doing outdoor workout at F45 Burbank for over a week now and I'm so glad I found this studio! The combination of cardio and strength training is exactly what I need in my fitness journey. The coaches are not only kind and helpful, but they push you when you need it! They're there to hype you up and challenge you. Feeling stronger already! read more

Wow, I've done a lot of workouts at a LOT of places (was a ClassPass junkie for years before Covid), and this is such a GREAT concept and very well executed. There are screens with videos showing the different moves, which is SUPER helpful if you're like me and totally forget what you're supposed to do at each station. The trainers there are so supportive and not only cheer you on but come around to correct your moves and motivate you. The workout is different every day, and the resistance training is tough but definitely not impossible like some CrossFit gyms where you're done after the first half of the workout. As someone trying to get back in shape, I appreciate the fact that the workouts are accessible and there are modifications suggested if you can't quite do the move. Also, free parking right next to the studio in the public garage is a HUGE PLUS. I definitely recommend checking it out...there's even a free one-class trial online, so you can't really go wrong! read more
