I've seen F45 Training all over NoVA but I had no clue what it entailed. I assumed it was a ROTC bootcamp with the red white and blue colors and stayed far away until I saw it was a HIIT class. I've never really thought of myself as a HIIT workout kinda girlie, but since Pentagon City barely has ClassPass locations, I decided to use my trial credits here. Coming here for the first time was a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and Victor was able to walk me through the whole studio and the Monday Mont Blanc process being a first time customer. They start with a warm up and every set is 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest. You go through each of the 9 stations for 2 sets and you repeat the entire circuit twice. The entire time is 45 minutes, and the workouts and timers are always on display on the screen to keep you on track. The music is upbeat, the weights / workouts are intuitive, and modifications are welcome. Additionally, the studio is clean, and there is a shower in the bathroom if you need it. Bring a water bottle and a towel because you will SWEAT! I definitely recommend F45 if you're trying out classpass or as a membership if you're committed to HIIT, resistance, and cardio -- it's a great place to get fit! read more

Highly recommend this gym. The coaches are amazing and they will help you achieve your fitness goals. You will not regret joining this gym.

I've been a member for a little over two months, and I absolutely love it here! All the instructors are kind, encouraging, and they call you by your name. It took me a few weeks to figure out the way they set their exercises and what to do next, but that's probably just me being slow at 6 am. LOL I love F45's cardio days because it pushes me harder than I would on my own. I leave every workout drenched in sweat, and I consider it a great complement to regular gym and weightlifting workouts. They also have resistance workouts, which are well designed, but just not my style. It has been an overall great experience, and I can't wait for more months to come! read more

Best workouts I've ever taken is here. Every class is a different workout focused on either cardio or strength training. I'm never bored because of the intensity and variety of workouts. The studio has great coaches who ensure everyone is doing each workout effectively and safely. It's never a dull moment and even though workouts are tough, I feel amazing afterwards. One of the best aspects is the focus on nutritional education...without an additional charge. I've been to other workout spots charging for this service. F45 integrates this in their program to make sure fitness goals are achieved. The studio is clean with modern equipment and the coaches are super nice and helpful when needed. read more

This studio is amazing! All the coaches are incredibly friendly, and I love that you can get an intense, efficient workout in just 45 minutes. The atmosphere is welcoming and non-intimidating. Highly recommend! read more

I have consistently attended F45 classes the last 8 months after doing the 3 day trial. I have had some amazing improvements in my indurance, strength and overall bodily appearance. Although its 45 minutes (1 hour on Saturdays) it can be quite intense and challenging but well worth it. F45 is great if you're looking to loose weight or would like to tone up and become stronger. There are also nutirion challenges part of your membership which proide support and education on improving eating habits as a lifestyle change rather than dieting. All the coaches are the great but my favourites are Luka and Victor. They really enrouage you and push you every time to do your best. I would highly recommend this studio. read more

Soooo if you haven't been to F45 you need to go do a trial! It's definitely my favorite workout studio by far. They have many locations in the DMV and most are doing 3-day to 7-day free trials. The type of workout is circuit training which incorporates lifting/weight based, cardio, and HITT. The location I went to we did "The Empire" which was an incredible workout.....three days later and I'm still sore Shout out to the trainer @maddie_harty she was so friendly and helpful to new comers! Also, this location is taking extra precautions to ensure safety through temp. checks, staying at stations, wearing masks when leaving an area, social distancing, and wiping/spraying down equipment after use.

Really great gym with great people! Scott and Jordan are the main trainers here and they always make sure you're doing the exercises correctly to get the most out of them and not hurt yourself. Each class is only 45 minutes and every time it's a different set of exercises and movements. I enjoy the classes immensely and they foster a positive environment of can-do attitude and challenging yourself to be progressively better and stronger. The other members are also very friendly and enthusiastic and will all high-five each other at the end of every class. It's a great community of healthy-minded people. I've recently started going to this location because it's closer to my work and home. Lynn operates this one and was very helpful in getting me started and dealing with app/scheduling issues. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. I started off with a free week trial and committed before my free week was up. The coaches are super nice and helpful. I have some knee issues and they are always willing to give me substitute exercises for anything I need. The coaches also push you and correct form, which I love. The class is always super energetic and fun. Cannot say enough good things about this place. read more

They've recently started doing "group" workouts in the green space/courtyard on Pentagon Row. Every Saturday this summer. They are ruining an otherwise pleasant, relaxing and family-oriented space with their loud, obnoxious and raunchy music while 5-10 people exercise. PLEASE STOP. If this is your idea of advertising, you're failing. It's a turn off, not to mention completely careless, to invade communal spaces meant for enjoying the outdoors. Here's a suggestion: share the space with others, you know, the way we are taught in kindergarten. Get rid of that ridiculous DJ, and maybe consider the fact that you're in public. No one has a problem with outdoor group workouts, except when you're blaring Lil Yachty at noon. This place might have decent workout offers, but seeing their blatant disregard, I don't even want to step foot inside their studio to try and find out... read more

I love, love this gym! This is an awesome gym with attentive trainers and full of motivations! Ample free parking in the area and also a 10 mins walk from the metro. They provide towels and water fountain. I feel I burn more calories and sculpt my muscles - all in 45 mins. read more

Amazing coaches and facility. F45 training is what everyone needs to take their fitness to the next level. If it is your first time in the gym or an experienced lifter, this is a workout that will keep you coming back for more. Every day is a different workout and for the year I have been coming, I have never had the same workout twice. The owner and the coaches are fantastic and always so encouraging. They genuinely care about every single person that walks through the door and that is what seperates this program from the rest. F45 is revolutionary and the coaches/workouts will help any individual meet their fitness goals in no time. Best fitness program around right now! read more

FREE TRIAL ALERT! They're offering a free two week trial until the end of July; act fast! I tried the Brooklyn class and thought it was a great workout. There were 3 sets of 3 different exercises, with short breaks in between sets, for a 45 min workout. The instructors demo the exercises in the beginning, and then walk around to ensure you're doing them correctly. There are also screens displaying the moves and letting you know when to pause and where to go next (which I definitely messed up a few times). Be prepared for a super high intensity workout that will raise your heart rate and really make you sweat. Towels are provided, but be sure to bring water; you'll need it. What would make it better? Some fans/more AC, especially in the summer heat. It's a pretty small space, and gets steamy fast! read more

Love this place and the workout. I did a free trial week at F45 Arlington and was so disappointed in the music and energy from the coaches. Pentagon Row has really fun music and excited coaches! I do wish there were more strength only days... but overall love this workout! read more

I LOVE this gym. As someone who always struggled to get to the gym in the past, I finally found a workout that I am actually excited to go to. I attend evening classes almost every single day, which is doable with the 45 minute class time. Every class is fun and new and I leave feeling accomplished. Every level can get into this gym and I love that it's functional fitness. All the trainers are great, but a special shout out to Liz who always pushes me in the best possible way. I recommend stopping by and checking out a free class, it really is a great work out. read more

I love this gym! Great variety and fun people to be around who all share a common goal to get fit. I love the reports I receive from each class. I've burned over 800 calories in an hour long class and as many as 650 in a 45 minute session read more

I have worked out here three times so far for free (1st week is no cost) and I love it. It's the perfect place for people who have never worked out before. The trainers are so nice! I love victor and his positive attitude. He doesn't make me feel fat and gross. He makes me feel like a beautiful work in progress. I've decided to join! Try it! :) read more

F45 on Pentagon Row is great! Very welcoming, friendly and nice teachers and group. The trainers are very polite, fun and supportive to guide you on can you adapt the movement to your physical ability. Special thanks to Scott, Marta, Stephanie, Victor, Joshua and Lynn...you are awesome guys! Saturday class with live DJ and very good playlist. read more

The F45 Pentagon Row trainers appear really invested, dedicated to help, and very attentive. They appear to really care and go above and beyond to offer their time to discuss nutrition. Scott is always listening to my physical problems and watching my every move to prevent injuries, correcting my form, pushing and motivating me. I paid more for one-on-one personal trainers and received less. It's worth every penny! read more

I've been going to F45 for a little more than two weeks now. The jury is still out as far as whether I like it or not but I thought an interim write-up might be useful. The concept of this workout/gym is interesting. Kind of CrossFit kind of not. it's only been open a few weeks and so I know they are still working some kinks out. That said, here are some positives..... Interesting, challenging & diverse workouts New equipment Good technology (the exercises are demo'd on a tv throughout the workout) Convenient class times Good class sizes Good price ($190/month for unlimited classes) Some negatives so far..... A lack of meaningful instruction - this workout is good for people who don't care about form, don't care to learn about form, or already know enough so they won't get hurt. The exercises are demo'd for roughly only 15 seconds each before the workout begins. Although in theory, the instructors walk around and correct form throughout the session, I've not found that really to be the case. They also don't offer assistance as far as changing up weight or finding the proper weight to be challenging but doable for each person. Rather, it seems to be a bit of a free for all where you hope you're grabbing the proper weight. With only 20 to 45 seconds to adjust, that's not much time to figure things out. The instructors really also fail to instruct. What I mean by that is, they should be explaining during the demo that if there is a 30-second exercise swinging a hammer, 15 seconds should be done on one side and 15 seconds should be done on the other so as to allow for equal distribution. While that seems intuitive to some, people who are new to working out and especially new to this type of workout certainly won't pick that up in the chaos of switching from station to station. Finally, I expressed after a recent session that I was struggling with one particular move. The response I received from the instructor was that I simply don't need to do it. I'd rather learn how to do it properly than just give up. Seems like an odd way to instruct. The instructors - Don't get me wrong, I think they are genuinely nice people. However, the two male instructors I've encountered are more inclined just to hang out with the good looking young women. One in particular likes to flex his muscles and essentially "tease" participants about the weight they are doing or how fast or slow they are moving by using a "why can't you keep up with me" approach. No air conditioning - seriously, it's been in the 90s for the last 3 weeks. The place is stifling. I'm going to give it another month or two to really settle in and see if I like it. For now though, my impressions aren't spectacular. It disappoints me really because I really do want to like the place given its concept, location, and cost. read more

I absolutely love working out here. The instructors are motivating and the workouts are consistently appropriately challenging. The exercises are always different so now I get to work on all my body parts that I normally neglect. I would highly recommended. read more

They make you feel special because of the training and special interest they take in every client . They value you .. as a person not just a client .. they will push you to do better every time but not in way where you feel defeated or not up to the test .. it's a team environment and they care about there clients like there family .,best workout period !!! read more

F45 Pentagon Row offers a fun and modern, HIIT inspired workout in a welcoming and friendly environment. The space is bright, clean and new and the equipment is easy to use with different weight options to choose from based on your abilities. The trainers all have fun personalities and really take the time to show you each move before the session of the day gets started. If needed, you also have TV's to glance at, showing each move if you loose track. The trainers are happy to answer any questions or modify a particular move based on an injury or personal ability -- safety is very important to them. Every day is different at F45 with programs alternating each day between cardio and strength which keeps things fresh and new. I have yet to repeat a workout in 30+ days. I enjoy Bears, Romans, Loyals and Pegasus days the most. I've heard that Hollywood on Saturdays is a blast with a live DJ -- just have not been able to make it yet. F45 Pentagon Row is located at a convenient Arlington location and offers one-hour free parking (push the button on the meter to get your free hour). Give F45 a try. The first week is free and I guarantee you will be hooked in no time! read more
