I am now 47 years old and have been a member for 5 years (after major knee surgery in 2018), & have completed over 600 classes. Though it's still a work in progress, I started in 2020 at 33% body fat and have steadily decreased that to 25% PBF where I am now. I am much stronger now than ever before, and I was a college athlete. This circuit training gym and program has greatly improved my quality of life both physically and mentally. I will never quit, ever. If I ever move in the future a new place, which Iâm not planning on, it will have to be near an F45 studio.
The coaches Marvin, Gabby, Tory, Kenly, Eddie, and JosĂ© are amazing. So knowledgeable and supportive. Donât be intimidated to try thisâ you can do it even if you start with body weight resistance until you nail the correct form. The coaches are all rock stars and they are there to help and support your fitness journey.
This is the new (for 6 months now) weekly schedule:
RESISTANCE (increase muscle): Tues/Thurs CARDIO (max fat burn): Mon/Wed HYBRID (cardio + resistance): Fri/Sat/Sun

I love F45 Hoboken North. It is my favorite provider of group training classes! When everything was locked down, I signed up for virtual training or used the app to guide my workouts, but nothing beats the awesome trainers/coaches. Since gyms have opened up, I've been back in the studio. The setup is great, with more than adequate distance and protocols in place. I still use the app when I can't make it to class. So...
   Read moreI joined F45 in November and to be honest I wasnât sure I would be able to keep up with the classes. While I was a strong athlete in my teens and 20s I wondered if I could get that strength back in my 40s. Well, I surprised myself and not only can I keep up, but I am excited to get up and go to class every morning, which is fantastic! The coaches are incredibly supportive and motivating, the other members are inspiring to be around and each workout is both challenging and rewarding.
The saying âYou Get Out What You Put Inâ completely fits for me when it comes to F45. For the first time in years Iâm pushing myself just enough each time that Iâm feeling strong again and probably the best part about having joined is who I inspired, my tween daughter. She was so impressed by my dedication she jumped at the chance to take the F45 Prodigy classes when I told her about them. These classes are geared for 11-17 yo and as an athlete that plays two running sports the classes are a perfect place for her to get stronger and faster.
If you want something fun and different absolutely...
   Read moreI was a loyal member of F45 for three years, and what a regrettable transformation it has undergone. The recent decision to fire all their coaches left a glaring void in the gymâs expertise, motivation, and community. In addition, the administration at the front desk has taken a nosedive in customer service, displaying a condescending and rude attitude that is far from welcoming.
I used to love this gym, but witnessing its current state is disheartening. The blatant disregard for customer value is evident from the moment you walk in and encounter the outdated gym equipment. Itâs a stark reflection of how little they invest in maintaining a quality experience for their members.
This once-thriving community has turned into a shadow of its former self. F45, youâve lost a dedicated member, and Iâm not alone in feeling this way. Save yourself the frustration and find a gym that truly values...
