I recently discovered that the same parent company owns FS8 and F45 training. FS8, which is a blend of Pilates/yoga/tone in Thousand Oaks (which opened up early Feb of this year), definitely kicked my butt, so I decided to see what f45 offered. F45 is a cardio/resistance training blend. For an intro offer of $25 for 5 classes, I decided to see if this place would kick my butt, too. I met one of the instructors, Cara, who was very helpful and showed me around the place. There's a Pilates class in the back room and a sauna that you can use if you join for the F45 membership, plus an extra fee. Cara explained that the screens would show the movements we were to mirror, but she also told me to go at my own pace and helped me with my form during several of the stations. I went around the room 3 times (15 minutes total, 45 seconds at each station plus 15 seconds to transition to the next station) to get in a very sweaty 45-minute workout. I used to think I was in decent shape. F45 training laughed in my face as I prayed for the 45-second exercise to end, so I could transition to another 45-second exercise that I also wished were over. Somehow, I made it through the workout, humbled. This place is high energy and definitely challenges you mentally and physically. I look forward to continuing my F45 training journey! read more

F45 Training - Ventura - Trainers Near Me - Ventura, California

There are two main reasons why I give F45 Training a Five Star rating. The first reason: these workouts aren't boring. That's super important because most exercise bores me. And if it's boring, I'm not going to want to do it. But that's never an issue at F45. I've found every session to be different enough that I never get bored. The classes are really well-designed. You know when you sign up what the focus of your class will be. There are usually 10 stations that you complete in 45 minutes, but the exercises at each station are different every class. Each station has two different exercises, typically one for the upper body, one for the lower body. You can choose to do either or both. The second, and most important, reason I give this gym a Five Star Rating is the trainers that work here. Especially the early morning staff, Josie, Lauren and Sarah. There are usually at least two trainers working every class. They continuously circulate around the room, so you never have to wait long for one to come by and check to see if your form is correct or if you need a modification. If you have difficulty doing an exercise, a trainer will instantly modify it or give you an alternative exercise. And that's another reason F45 gets 5 stars from me. See, I can actually do very few of the exercises as demonstrated. I need modifications at almost every station. But I know that in less than a minute a trainer will pass by and quickly modify the activity into something I can actually do. So, I always get a great workout here. F45 Training really is a great place to workout. The trainers that work here are incredibly supportive. There is a really positive, high energy, vibe here. Sessions often end with people high-fiving each other. I love that! Mikey C says: I highly recommend F45 Training! read more

My daughter and I went to a Pilates class if that's what you wanna call it was not great. Definitely not worth the money. I was looking for a facility that could accommodate my daughter's needs as a teenager young adult. The instructor was all over the place, not giving proper instruction too bad. read more

The coaches and staff at this location are outstanding. They're informative, friendly and welcoming. They push you just hard enough and aren't afraid to correct your form when you need it. It's a great atmosphere and an awesome workout format. This place is fantastic. read more

This place is awesome! Great trainers, great energy and a kicka** workout!! Highly recommend!

Although I'm not currently a member... I have to say. This place was a perfect transition for me. I needed to get into a better headspace & begin moving my body & pushing myself. As I became more confident in f45 I grew stronger, began fueling my body well & felt excited for my workouts. It's so nice to have people welcoming you in as you begin a workout & getting connected with other members. I highly suggest if you feel like you're in a rut to check f45 out. It's a very inclusive space which I love, many different ages, body types & walks of life. read more

This F45 is unlike anything you have experienced! The instructors make you feel like family and they are always adding classes when they fill up. Anytime I've reached out to them, one of their teammates respond almost immediately! They scored the jackpot with Garrett as a trainer, he is loud and keeps up the energy every class. My favorite part about this gym is that they have so many options for morning classes. It makes it so easy for me to work out 5 days a week. Keep doing what your are doing F45 Ventura!!! Also, their cleanliness is admirable... the gym is always spotless and I feel comfortable using their equipment. read more

F45 Ventura has grown up to my expectations! When they initially opened the place I visited them and I was not happy from what I saw, I doubt if they would do good. Today they have earned my respect that I gave up my membership from a different gym that I was happy. The reason why I joined F45 in Ventura is the responsibility and the respect that the owners have given to their clients. I haven't seen any other place giving the support and the commitment that this place shows and gives to its clients! Even the trainers or the coaches are caring and supportive during our training sessions. I fully recommend this location to anyone and everyone. read more

My husband & I are grateful for F45 Ventura opening during these times. We get a butt kicking workout every time, not just some days, but everyday! Different workout each day. Each trainer is knowledgeable & will correct your form, which I look for in a trainer! The facility is state of the art , very clean with anti microbial lights & safety measures in check. We are glad F45 came to Ventura! read more

Cleanest and friendliest studio you'll come across! Truly is a community! Was absent for about 6 months but soooo glad to be back. I've missed this feeling of knowing I'm getting fitter and stronger! Barb and her crew are brill! Amazing studio but more so, amazing community! The coaches and members really do become friends and family. Cleanest studio I've ever been to. What studio do you know that has antimicrobial lights that clean?? Makes you feel like you're in a club too in a Saturday with the live DJ! Yup! A live DJ during some classes! :-) They diligently clean between classes too. High energy and even the worst/hardest workouts fly by in the 45mins! read more

Thank you to my F45 family, when I started attending classes last year I was rehabilitating from a broken foot. Was house bound for 3 months and then Covid happened. The coaches at F45 have been so helpful and when I started out they helped me modify when needed and have always pushed me a little harder when I need too. Every month I am getting stronger, leaner and have much more energy. Felt I was ready for the F45 challange and so grateful to my accountability coach for keeping me motivated. Try it out, there are folks of all ages and fitness levels at F45. I hope to see your there! read more

My daughter and I joined F45 about six weeks ago and we absolutely love it! The trainers are so motivating, especially Garrett, and the music rocks! They all come around and help you to use the proper form. I have a shoulder injury and they know how to modify my workouts so that I still get a great sweat on. I love the fact that the gym is so clean and organized. The 45 minutes goes by fast and before you know it, it is over. The workouts are different everyday and I can see a big difference in how my clothes are fitting me. read more

Joining F45 has been one of the best decisions I've made. I have tried a few gyms in Ventura but I have never encountered one like F45. You can feel the energy and positive vibes all around. They have highly motivated trainers that really take the time to encourage you and support you with the workouts, nutrition and fitness goals. They made me feel inclusive immediately and helped guide & direct me through the many different workout stations at the gym. They take the time to teach you how to properly use the equipment to get the best results. I see this an investment in myself and a very worthy one. I absolutely love it here and highly recommend it. DO NOT be intimidated, the trainers are super friendly!!!! And if you come on a Saturday, you get to workout to music with live DJ. It's high energy, fun, invigorating and best of all, you gets results. I've already lost two pounds and working towards losing 10 more. read more
