My wife introduced me to Verity at RAW workouts 5 years ago and with the guidance of Verity I've changed up my nutrition, exercise routine and goal setting which has resulted in being in the BEST shape of my life at 53! I easily keep up with folks 1/2 my age and I'm routinely asked what do I do to stay in shape........my answer is Verity Hull at RAW WORKOUTS!

I cannot believe it's been over 6 months since I first joined F45! Although it's quite an…read moreexpensive membership (I pay to go 8 times a month), this workout gives me the boost I need when I'm tired of my other workouts (walking or running). I've never come to F45 thinking, "This again?" Each workout is unique and challenges me physically and mentally. And just when I feel cocky and think, "How is this workout going to make me sweat?" I am sweating, thirsty, and waiting for the 45 minutes to be over! Sometimes I just drive home in a stunned silence that I got through the workout without collapsing. Also, the coaches here are phenomenal! Some will show you the correct form, others will motivate you by shouting encouraging words, and others will sometimes work alongside you on a machine or two if you don't have a partner to keep you motivated and giving it your all. My most hated exercise is burpees. I like the part when I have to get on the floor, but then I have to get back up again! But I am really proud of myself for doing several burpees in a row and not staying on the floor where it's comfortable and safe. ;-) Tired of doing the same boring workout? Want a workout you don't have to think about setting up? Just want to start an exercise routine that gets you off the couch? No matter the reason, F45 is the perfect place to get moving!

F45 is THE sweet spot for fitness classes. I was spending a ton on a personal trainer, which is…read moregreat for personalized progress but tough to schedule and very expensive. I then tried a gym membership which is much cheaper and easy- to schedule, but waiting for machines and my own accountability to show up was a bummer. F45 is a blend of the best parts of both- easy to schedule, reasonably priced, amazing weekly programming, and personal coaches like Lauren and Brandon who help with the exercises, plus really get to know me. Lauren and Brandon are motivators who keep me coming back very regularly with accountability. I found the fitness "sweet spot" with F45!

My 84 year old Mom looks forward to the sessions, and brags about her improvement! Debbie has been kind, supportive, and professional throughout.

It isn't only about that hour workout it is about the whole picture. Your health and well being over time.

I had no idea how important form was. Yikes! Amanda has customized our workouts to make sure they work for me. She isn't your typical drill sergeant trainer. She is in it for you and your long term success. I highly highly recommend Amanda for anyone out there ready and wanting to make a change in their life for the better. She is your person.

They don't like to address anything else...I've called the 800 number they give for complaints regarding management such as my issue with CAPRI (Operations Manager) & the HYPOCRISY , and the professionalism. I called Friday 5/15, talked with Adonis. He let me know he was going to report all this & he would follow up with me in 3 business days. Well that would have been no later the Wednesday May 20th. This weeks gone & I've yet to hear from ANYONE. This shows the inconsistency on management over all. No sounder CAPRI can do things like this "Do one thing, THEN enforce rules. It's a REFLECTION OF LEADERSHIP. & still no call back from Adonis on the "upper management team" So again...As you can see if you scroll down the list of reviews, they NEVER address anything else, they just reply to 5 star reviews., never the real issues.

The front desk staff, Art and Aileen (sp?), have been welcoming and informative.
