My favorite place to workout! F45 Arlington is high energy, great music, and group workouts that are never the same. It is unlike any other group workout I have ever been to. I usually really dislike group fitness classes and working out in general usually feels like a chore to me, but F45 really is fun and something I look forward to every day. I love that the workouts are different each day, so you never get bored! There are no mirrors and you're so busy focusing on what you're doing that you don't have time to look at anyone else. The facility itself is clean with nice new equipment. They have plenty of different class times and you rarely have to be on a waitlist (unless it’s for the Saturday classes where they have a DJ—sign up in advance!)
The classes are super challenging yet efficient. It's a 45 minute work out (60 minutes on Saturdays) and can be modified for people of any fitness level. All the trainers are motivating and knowledgeable and always there to push you or help! The trainers and monitors at the front of the room show you the exercises/stations for each pod so you always know exactly what you're doing. Give it a shot if you want to be challenged and also have a great time while...

First of all, the HIIT sessions kick your a** like you wouldn't believe. What's especially nice about these workouts is that they accommodate all fitness levels. Each station has a variety of weight selections, and the reps you complete is all up to you.
What impresses me almost every day at F45 is the energy in the gym. The trainers love and know what they're doing (Go Rob and Jen!!!!). Everyone who attends feels that energy and it shows during the class workouts. Also, the music they play during the workouts is fire.
One of my favorite things about F45 is that the classes and structures of the workouts are always changing. This helps it not get boring as you continue going for weeks. I previously was a member at a boxing workout gym, and I just started getting bored because it was so repetitive. At F45 on Saturdays/Sundays they have a DJ that plays during the workouts! I never know what to expect which keeps me coming back.
The organization of this gym in general is great, Zac does a great job, all the trainers are amazing, and the staff who take care of check-in and payments are super helpful.
Can't wait to go back to...
Read moreComing from two years as an OTF member, I was looking for a change to mix up my workouts. F45 opened in Ballston and have been a member for about 3 months. Classes are a good mixture of cardio and strength, and help challenge me to do exercises I would never choose on my own. I was able to use my OTF band so I can track my workouts. I go in the morning, and I routinely see the same people, which gives F45 a community feeling. This is a challenging workout for both your body and your mind, and I would say the degree of difficulty is right for the active person. I'd recommend for anyone looking to mix up their workout for an affordable price.
Pros: Quick and efficient. Good Trainers. Saturday Hollywood classes (with DJ). Getting a spot in class significantly easier than other gyms. Lifting intensity greater than OTF but less than a Crossfit.
Cons: No treadmills (surprisingly I miss this). Too many apps (you only need one really, but there are a few others that you...
