Is there a way to give more stars, because 5-stars does not seem like enough. F45 has changed the way I feel about working out, and in just 1-week I am already seeing results. I have never been good about going to the gym, and when when I do I lack direction and motivation. F45 provides a fun, structured, and challenging workout that is different every time. I have tried a variety of other workout classes and in my experience they can quickly get repetitive and have inconsistent challenge levels. F45 is the solution to this problem. They offer a myriad of training sessions with different focuses on strengthening, cardio, etc. Each class and each workout can be tailored to fit individual needs, which ensures everyone gets a quality workout. In addition to the various workouts, F45 is chalk full of amazing trainers that help make each class unique. I have trained with Owen, Riley, Jenna, Chris, and JR — all of them highly qualified, friendly, and passionate about what they do. The F45 in Santa Monica never fails to provide a safe, straight-forward, fast-paced and challenging workout that keeps me motivated and going back for more. 5 stars from this very happy client!!!

I Love Australia and it’s no surprise that the wizard of Aus has brought us a workout program like F45. Full on, mate. Full on! Kick your ass workouts, adding to the attractiveness of LA’s fitness scene. None of that cross-fitty nonsense here, mate. I like working out solo and doing my thing at the gym as I please, but I was pleasantly surprised when I hopped into an F45 class found myself greeted by Chris and Owen. Super friendly and knowledgeable guys. Saturday am’s ‘Hollywood’ workout is my fave — live dj present. Anywho, I’m gonna go make myself a mean hemp milk, cacao, banana, & vanilla maca smoothie and reflect on how life just got even awesomer now that I workout the F45. F yeah, mate.

I love this gym! Different workouts every day– they fly by! I love the Hollywood class on Saturday. Awesome music, great vibes, and fun crowd! I have been going since the opening, and I have seen my body transform! I also love the mind body app they use to register and sign up for class.

There’s the ultimate workout party happening in Santa Monica and you’re seriously missing out if you’re not there!!! Fabulous trainers, phenomenal workout & a live dj to motivate you through. F45 has exploded in Australia & now it’s headed to the US, seems like the Santa Monica one has already nailed it!!! Thanks guys, the Hollywood Saturday morning was a killer session & I loved every minute of it. Will definitely be back next time Im in LA x

The most efficient and beneficial work outs I’ve had in years. I can spend 45 minutes on my lunch getting my ass kicked and be back to work in time to finish the rest of my day. Chris is the man and can help answer any questions you may have. Go try it out and you’ll get hooked!

An amazing workout. I used to do the Santa Monica stairs, but this is an entirely new level of workout. The efficiency of being able to pack 2 hours worth of exercise into 45 minute sessions is awesome. I love getting my workout done in the morning, feel great! Already seeing results and I’ve only been doing it for two weeks. F45 takes the thought out of working out and let’s you focus on pushing yourself as hard as you can go. Also, you have to love the fact that all the motions and exercises are much more natural, safer, and better for you than what Crossfit is peddling. 5 stars, I will be a member for a long time!

I love working out and I am a huge competitor. And this is the only work out that keeps me in the shape I need to be. I love the Saturday classes. The music with the live DJ gives it a really fun and motivating vibe.

Great workouts! I came with a friend & became hooked after a couple of sessions. I haven’t usually liked high-intensity circuit training as the other places I’ve tried felt ripe for getting injuries, NOT here though! Each exercise you are paired with a partner(great motivator!) and the trainers give great explanations & excellent form corrections. The 45 minutes goes fast & I always feel amazing after. The 6:30am classes with Riley & Maddison are my current addiction & an amazing way to get my day started.

F45 is hands down the most efficient and dynamic group workout around with the best vibe. I’m not a Unilocaler but believe so much in this concept and community that I chose to share my personal thoughts. The Workouts: dynamic, fun, high intensity, safe, and approachable to everyone. 50 year olds and Instagram models are in class together and not for creepy reasons. Go join Equinox if you want a Zoolander gym and center for actors from Midwest who can’t read good(I still go there –FML). Join Crossfit if you want to do an 8min workout, want to look like a puffy rectangle and you have perfect Olympic weightlifting technique as to never incur a back injury. Ask your local Orthopedic surgeon he’ll say crossfit– his kids are going to private school. Check out F45 — they are not reinventing the wheel they are just perfecting it by pulling proven techniques together. The Environment — Unpretentious, fun, motivating, and fast pace! Chris and Owen have killer classes and have built an exceptional group of trainers to lead you through a painful and rewarding journey. Boom.

Thoroughly recommended, training varies on a daily basis. A good workout in a group environment where everyone encourages each other to reach their goals

This place is simply the best and you MUST try it! I bought a Groupon on a whim a few months ago and finally decided to redeem it before it expired. I honestly came in with NO intention of joining after my Groupon was up. That being said, I was already drinking the Kool-Aid after my first workout here and now after a couple weeks, I’m like… bathing in the Kool-Aid. It’s just undeniably good. So efficient(who doesn’t have 45 minutes?) with lots of class times to accommodate all schedules, challenging and functional workouts that are constantly changing so you never get bored or complacent, great music/energy, and awesome trainers. The owner Chris couldn’t be friendlier, and clearly puts effort into making his gym a positive, welcoming and high-energy environment. He gives every member individual corrections and motivation, and is obviously a true professional and an expert. Once I decided to join, Chris still honored the rest of my Groupon AND let me catch the end of a New Year’s special discounted membership price. I haven’t had a chance to take class with many of the other trainers yet, except Jenna who was great and super upbeat. Another trainer Owen, who was actually taking a class I was in also went out of his way to introduce himself to me cause he could tell I was new, which I thought was very welcoming. Everyone I’ve met who works out there has been super friendly as well. The gym itself is bright and clean with new equipment and TV screens that show professionals doing the exercises. Apparently there is a shower too which is key. There is also a great mix of member diversity across age, gender, ethnicity, fitness level, etc., which I really appreciate in a gym. OVERALL, if you are looking for something to shake up your routine/take your fitness to the next level, or if you’re totally new to working out, don’t waste your time messing around with anything else — you need to check out F45 Santa Monica. I tend to be skeptical of the trendy, but this workout really is the shit. Australians know what’s up.

Great gym with great trainers. F45 is a great workout where you can get a lot of things done in only 45 minutes. Chris and his trainers are able to create an awesome atmosphere which makes it more fun to train together as a group! Keep on rockin’

F45 is awesome. Its given me more energy, a more positive outlook, and generally just made me feel better. Chris and the rest of his team are genuine, both in welcoming you and in caring about helping you improve your fitness. The workouts are intense, but not in an off-putting or intimidating way. Its just a great way to improve your fitness level and quality of life.

This place is ramped up with 6 unique workouts a week with Sunday Funday Trail Blazer Sessions coming soon. Every day is a new challenge, and every day you make new friends. I’ve never seen so many people smile while they exercise! How the trainers and other members keep the sessions challenging, instructional, fun, and lighthearted every day is beyond my comprehension, but my friends and I are always eager for the next session together. Can’t wait for Romans tonight!

I come from a traditional weight training/lifting background, and was never very interested in class, or group fitness. I have to tell you… F45 in Santa Monica totally changed my opinion! There is no excuse why you can’t make it to a class because they are happening all throughout the day. Each day is a new workout, and I wouldn’t push myself as hard if it wasn’t for the amazing trainers and members! Everyone works together and is so motivational is the best way possible. We have become an F45 family and I look forward to seeing them every day, sweat or shine! Not to mention the increase in my strength and endurance! I’m addicted! I can’t say anything more than Thanks F45! I’ll see you tonight… for my second class of the day!

Main point: I love this gym already after just one class. 530 calorie burn in 45 minutes!!! Details: I called the owner Chris to inquire about personal training. I needed the extra motivation to push myself that I was not getting working out solo at LA Fitness. Chris recommended I take a free group class first because it sounded like that would be a great fit for me me, and is less expensive than personal training. I appreciated this because he was listening to my goals and not just recommending the option that would bring in the most revenue. Took my first group class today with Riley and immediately signed up for a monthly membership after the class. We had a good sized group this morning(around 18) and yet I was still getting one on one attention from Riley throughout the class to ensure I was doing everything correctly. Everyone in the class was high energy and really encouraging(even at 6:30AM!). I can’t wait to continue. Conclusion: If you’re looking for an encouraging and positive environment along with a killer workout, try this gym out!

Great workout — TIMEAFTERTIME! And I’m a pretty harsh critic for new gyms and places to train. One of my favorite workouts is the Hollywood sessions on Saturdays! It’s a full body workout and you’ll leave feeling amazing. I think the coolest part about F45 that sets it apart from any other gym — is the systems they have in place! You will know everything about your workout before you even start. There are TV monitors in front of you the entire workout — not only showing you the exact exercise — but counting down the clock. If you are the type of person that likes to know whats coming up, and how long you have to do it — then F45 is the workout for you! As an ex-athlete, I love killer workouts. These are tough, but easily modified as well. You can make the workout exactly what you want. Go check them out for something fresh, new, and challenging!
