Working out has never been my thing but after months of confinement to home during COVID-19, I really needed to shed some pounds and get back into shape. I accidentally wandered into this gym while on a walk and Steph, Jaden, and Will convinced me to take up the trial. Fearful that it would be too much for me at 57, I gave it a shot anyway -- making it my one indulgence in public after getting vaccinated. While it was quite the challenge at first, I quickly signed up for twice a week. After six weeks, I've found this chore turning into a craving, so now I've upgraded to an unlimited plan. While I've taken most of my late afternoon classes from Will, I've also taken classes from Grace, Taryn, and Jaden. All are great. They challenge me when they see I can take more, but let me throttle back a bit when it gets too much. It's just the right amount of a push that I need. Best of all, I've already lost eight pounds, I feel way better, and I know I'm doing something good for myself. read more

I absolutely loved coaches in this location but this gym is much pricier than other f45 studios. You can save $20 a week if you go to Del Mar location. If not for the price, I would be a regular there read more

I've been coming here for more than one year and love it. I go in about 3x each week. The trainers are great - they push you but are friendly and inspiring. No ego or shaming here. The workouts are varied and challenging - I'm never bored. The studio is small but it's a great group of people. read more

Where do I even start?! I love everything about F45! I love that there are strength days... cardio days... and it's always something new! I've gone to a few different locations, and so happy I have settled and made Encinitas Central my home! The trainers are knowledgeable, professional and fun! The energy in every class is fantastic! The trainers are never lax... they make sure to help to correct your form, educate you on body mechanics, and help with any modifications needed for injuries etc. read more

Love this gym. Not only do you get a killer workout in the 45 minute classes, the community of people here is such a perk. Many have worked out here for years, which shows that this F45 is doing it right. I have been a member for 1.5 years now and I love how I shut my brain off for 45 minutes, use the screens as guides for the movements, and workout parts of my body I would never workout on my own. The trainers are awesome, I always appreciate Diego's effective pointers and perfect amount of encouragement, Grace's tips on changing things up oh so slightly to get that extra burn or challenge, and Alyssa's directness to make me push harder. This is a wonderful workout community that I appreciate greatly. read more

If I could give it more stars... Owner is a great guy; the instructors are fantastic - -Grace, Alyssa, Diego -- all fantastic. The workouts are challenging AF (for me) and a great way to start the day. HIGHLY recommend. read more

I had no idea what was in store when I signed up for a free trial. I have been a member for a few years now and this gym has brought me so much joy. Great owners, coaches and community. F45 went above and beyond during the pandemic and has helped me reach my personal fitness goals as well as provided an outlet for my physical and mental health. Love the early classes and variety offered. read more

Love this place so much! I signed up for F45 prior to their grand opening - coming from having worked at another class based studio I knew which questions to ask! I'm super thankful that Stephanie was upfront and honest with their costs and how their classes worked. The studio is located 10 minutes away from my office which makes it a breeze to get to classes before or after work. I am still pushing for that 4:15pm class (*cough cough*nudge nudge*) but, the 5:15pm will work for now. The 45 min (1 hour on Saturday) classes are both challenging and fun! The coaches are a solid team and they are the foundation of this studio. They build you up and challenge you all while celebrating every additional rep and personal goal! I can't say enough good things about F45! read more

I wanted to join F45 Encinitas Central when they first opened, but talked myself out of it until this spring & holy cow idk why I waited so long! I love these workouts but what makes it the best are definitely the coaches. A lot of these techniques I was new too and I've never felt lost or not supported in learning how to perfect each one. I've made this apart of my almost daily routine and have never felt stronger! Great community, great coaching- what more could you ask for? read more

Joining this gym has been so life-changing! Downtown Encinitas has needed a gym for years, it's easy to walk to, convenient, and in a great location! The workouts are so intense, but totally modifiable for anyone no matter what shape you're in - I started out the slowest and weakest person there but I'm getting strong every day and improving stamina (which I'm measuring with running). All of the coaches are super fun, know how to push you and your limits without judgement - they don't come with the arrogance that you see in other gym/coaching environments. It really does feel like I'm getting individual attention at every class. It's not like CrossFit where everyone is focusing on the last person done (awkward - that was always me). You do however much you can do in the time allotted. The workouts go by quickly - without having to think about what you're doing. Everyone should try the free trial! read more

Always clean, not crowded, trainers provide great instructional and corrections during exercises - everything I want in a gym. Highly recommend if you want to get in the best shape of your life. read more

Joined in January and love this place!! Great community.. trainers are great and the workouts are awesome. Love starting my day off here!

F45 Encinitas Central is the best. Great folks, fun classes. Keeps me going back! You gotta give it a try!

I've been training at F45 Encinitas for nearly a year now, and sticking to it has been well worth it! There's always new workouts to keep you on your toes, trainers who push you to test your limits, and a positive atmosphere that makes working out intense and enjoyable. Continuing with F45 has allowed me to progress from weight loss goals to new heights in all areas of strength! read more

F45 Encinitas Central is the place to be! I've been a member for 18 months and have loved every workout I've gone too. Their head coach, Taryn is 100% the best coach I've come across in a group fitness setting and the community you gain in the other members is one of a kind! It's clean and welcoming and you should come try it out! read more

F45 Encinitas Central is the best! When you workout here you feel like you're part of a family. Steph and Jess have built an amazing studio from the top down. The coaches and equipment are first class. The community and culture are what really sets this location apart. I have worked out at many F45 studios in the past and none of them have the same feel I get from working out at F45 Encinitas Central. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

I love this studio! I started coming here a few months ago and it's been the best thing for my mental/physical health! Not only are the workouts killer but the trainers are so personable and professional. Somehow in a class of 20+ people I still feel like I'm getting personal training. The studio is kept clean and organized. I've always been really skeptical to spend a lot ($) on a gym but this is well worth the money. I would highly recommend giving F45 encinitas a try if you haven't! read more

I am so happy to have found this gym when I moved here! The workouts are tough (in a great way!) and will totally have you getting the results you want if you work for it! The staff is super friendly too- definitely don't miss a class taught by Grace! She will be blasting those great beats, has a contagious smile, and will give you great pointers too! read more

F45 Encinitas Central is not only a killer workout, but has a vibe that is so uplifting it inspires you to keep pushing your limits! The coaches truly care about your goals, are knowledgeable about fitness, and are actively involved in the workout, making sure your form is correct and you won't hurt yourself! read more

These classees kick your butt-you feel like you're really challenging yourself. The trainers are what make the classes though. My best classes are the ones with Grace and Morgan-they are the best! They are SO encouraging even we you're tired and you always feel super encouraged to push yourself because they really care about you making the best of your potential- I love them! Thanks so much for the great energy, ladies! I'm so glad I joined! read more

After being intimidated by the workouts at a different F45 location a couple of years back, I decided to try out the Encinitas location and couldn't be happier that I did! The coaches and owner are all excellent at what they do. They push you and want to make sure you're getting the most out of your workout, but they're also great at understanding any limitations you might have and work around injuries by suggesting modifications and keeping an eye on your form. I'm in the best shape I've ever been in and owe it all to the team here! read more

I've had a great experience at a 45 I've been there eight months now the owners are terrific and hands-on the coaches are really good spend time with each athlete getting to know them I've had great success in my fitness goals, I've made new friends and had fun all along the way read more

F45 was a great step to help get me to my next fitness level. The trainers are super knowledgeable and good and keeping me engaged and motivated. Steph, Jess and Mel keep everything running smooth while Karen, Stu and Will keep us sweating! Highly recommended for anyone looking to step up their fitness level. (leave your ego at the door, these workouts are no joke!) read more

Best gym and best F45 in San Diego!!! When they say life changing, they mean it. Been the most wonderful 2 years, can't say enough about all of the coaches and members. Love you guys!!! read more

No matter how much you know or how hard you think you can push yourself, F45 will take it to another level! The coaches are amazing and the whole system is really advanced and streamlined. read more

I love this gym! The coaches are awesome and the clients are super friendly. It's a great place and a killer workout!

Oh My Goodness Gracious if you want to get in shape, lose weight, and stay in the best shape of your life, this is the place to go!! I lost so much weight in ONE MONTH doing this 3 times a week. I was always intimidated by weight training. Not anymore!! You must do weight training to lose weight! It's a combination of weight training and cardio in fast sets with awesome music. By the time you are sick of a particular set, you move to the next one, with a built-in rest in between. It's the fastest and most fun way to exercise. 45 MINUTES and you are DONE! It's so EASY and fast. Stephanie shows you exactly what to do. Best music, super fast, no one else is watching what you are doing because they are too busy doing their own exercise which is different than yours. No mirrors. No competition. No judgment. I have a back injury, so Stephanie gives me different exercises to do so that I don't injure myself. The energy in this place is unparalleled! Stephanie is the owner, and is onsite cheering you on, making sure you do the exercises correctly, while inspiring you to do your best. Best. Workout. Ever! read more

I LOVE working out at F45!! Such a great workout with awesome music and fantastic trainers that challenge you.

As a 50 year old man and not having stepped in a gym in over 20 years I was hesitant to sign up and figure out how and what to exercise. The F45 format & trainers gave me the opportunity and confidence to start over and push myself at my own pace while receiving advise on how to prevent injury. I haven't felt this great in over 20 years! I highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their level of fitness or like me, start from scratch. 15 months and counting! read more

Love f45 Encinitas central. It has changed my life. The coaches are great and I've met so many new friends.

It was good during quarantine but once it stopped they switched the way the workout works. The new way is jumping from one station to another for every exercise, hardly any time for cleaning equipment. Very crowded for such a small space. One bathroom-always a problem to get there. I've paid $220 for unlimited membership but still they charged me additional $20 for two times I didn't make to workout. read more

F45 is an amazing place! The workouts are varied from day to day and the music and energy coming from the class makes the time fly! Each day is a different focus it could be strength or cardio or both! The really great thing are the instructors. They are motivating, educated and encouraging to everyone. Everyone can do the class because the give modifications. It may look a bit intimidating from outside but inside everyone is excepting and encouraging. My favorite class is Saturday where they have a live DJ. Whether you are 25 or 50 yrs old this is the place you should be! I have been in the health and fitness business my whole life and I think F45 is the greatest new addition to the workout arena! 100% recommended! read more
