I have been participating in the DUMBO studio’s 6 week Summer challenge (not sure that’s the official name) and I absolutely love it! The trainers are phenomenal, they really give you one on one attention to help with your form and if you tell them about any injuries or concerns they absolutely step up and help with modifications/give you tailored individual attention. The community is also fabulous, everyone is so friendly and supportive. Moreover, the results speak for themselves—I have one of those body fat tracking scales (I know I know, probably not super accurate but they’re good for tracking trends)—I just completed my second week and so far I’ve gained a pound of muscle and simultaneously lost a pound of fat without changing my diet. I’m at a healthy weight, so body recomposition is my goal.

Two stars because they actually have a nice studio with space. Doubt I’ll be going there again after this morning’s...
Read moreIf you're a visual learner, like myself, and love variety in your workouts, F45 is worth a shot! So far, all the trainers have been very thorough in their instructions and are very attentive. They give you tips and corrections on your form and hype you up!
Everyone's level ranges from beginner, intermediate, to veterans and no one is really "lagging behind" because we start at one station and focus on that one exercise before rotating onto the next. So essentially we are doing what we can handle at our pace (with the timer).
Lastly, the F45 Dumbo Location has always been a personal preference due to accessibility and has always been clean and safe. Although I haven't been, I'm sure other locations follow the...
