F45 Training Dumbo — Local services in New York

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.

Nice studio - terrible policy

I had a reservation for 10:15 and I kid you not I arrived at 10:15 and 30 seconds with my gym clothes on ready to hit the workout.. guess what, it was late enough for me to get rejected for “safety reasons” and because “the boss said so”?!

Two stars because they actually have a nice studio with space. Doubt I’ll be going there again after this morning’s...

If 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).
