I have been unable to commit to regularly exercising for at least 10 years or more. Busy life or not, I’ve had very little self discipline and motivation, despite joining many gyms over the years. I just couldn’t hold it together with being more active long term and exercising regularly.
I noticed that F45 opened in Virgil after moving into the area. I google searched it and discovered its a global workout concept originating in Australia....anything Aussie and I’m intrigued!
After a few weeks of creeping the F45 Social Media forums, I signed up for the 1 week trial they offered at F45 Niagara-on-the Lake. From the first time I walked down the staircase, and every time since, I have felt overwhelmingly welcome and the positive energy is contagious. If you are waiting to give this place a try, don’t wait any longer! I wish I had went for it sooner in hindsight!
I was definitely full body sore after my first class or two but the more I go, the better I feel. I can’t believe I completed 5 classes in my first 8 days and I am looking forward to my next class! This is unheard of for me. I already feel better, am sleeping better and can see small changes in my body already. I love the high intensity, 45 minute, in and out concept. The trainers keep your form in check, help with modifications, are super motivating and always welcoming. It really does feel like a community when you are there. Keep up the great work F45 Niagara-on-the Lake owners/trainers. I am definitely...
Read moreFor the past few years, before there was a local F45 location, I had heard great reviews from my ‘F45 friends’ in Toronto/Burlington who loved the challenging workouts! When Neesha and Jack opened the NOTL F45, I was intrigued and wanted to try- but I was very intimidated as I hadn’t done much other than light yoga since I became a mom. Walking through the doors to NOTL F45, all the intimidation fades away. The Owners, Neesha and Jack, have created an inclusive space that allows you to feel safe trying something new! They’re always smiling, super helpful and understanding of any limitations or injuries you may have. Coaches Matt, Zabdi, Deanna and Alicia are also awesome! Very encouraging - without ever being pushy or making you feel uncomfortable. And they love to high-five! The entire set up- from the exercises to the coach involvement - is designed to make you challenge yourself, in a supported way. The best part is that if you can commit to coming in for 45 minutes, you know you’re going to get an incredible workout. I have truly never enjoyed working out as much as I enjoy F45. I jump out of bed to get there in the morning, which I have never done in my life for cardio/aerobic exercise! A bonus: there’s a great mix of people that come to the classes. My husband has also become an ‘F45-er’- it’s been great to have a workout we can do together! With the free trial, there’s nothing to lose! Try it out- you won’t be...
Read moreIf you’re looking for a gym that actually cares about you and your fitness goals, F45 NOTL is for you. I’ve tried almost every gym out there and this is by far the best. My very first class everyone was super welcoming, helpful and friendly, nothing but absolute positive vibes. It’s catered to all ages and abilities no matter if it’s your first time ever at a gym or a high performance athlete they are awesome at making adjustments especially if you have an injury or limitations. Jack and Neesha truly care about their clients and it’s obvious that their business model reflects that through the coaches that they hire as well. I’ll never return to a normal gym, I get a total body workout in 45 mins. You also never do the same workout twice! F45 NOTL is an incredible community of likeminded people pushing each other to reach their goals. Definitely recommend coming to try a class!! You...
