F45 Training Flatiron — Local services in New York

I love F45!

It’s a really intense workout, but goes by quickly. Format is circuit/interval.

Instructors are standing by to correct your form or offer encouragement. Resistance based classes are as hard as you want to make them based on the weight you choose– you will WORK. Cardio + resistance based classes will keep you on your toes and you will SWEAT.

There are TV screens running to show you the exercise throughout your workout and to provide timers, but get there a little early to check out the screens and see the instructor demo the exercises. No need to get there earlier than 15 minutes though, since there’s not really room to wait inside.

Exercises in general are a good mix. I’ve been to 5 classes not repeated much. Depending on class and class size, you are rotating stations solo or with another person doing the same circuit. Having that other person to rotate around with is also motivating to get through it, even if they are a stranger!

Price-wise, it isn’t cheap but it’s right in line (for single drop in prices) with other boutique places and workouts. I wish it was just a little cheaper per class or monthly so I could commit to a regular schedule. But hey, it’s NYC.

Women’s locker room has 3 showers that are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and face wash, and towels and hair dryers are provided. There’s also deodorant and hair spray, so what you have to pack in to get ready for work is minimal. Shower line goes pretty fast, if there is one.

Minor things to note: Lockers provided, but bring your own lock. Water station there, but bring...

I always have a great workout here, and always leave feeling a thousand times better than when I came in. The instructors/staff are AMAZING: very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The location is always clean, with a stack of fresh towels (which I appreciate because I go through 2 towels every class), and very well ventilated. I don't feel crowded when I work out, and everyone who comes to the class are very nice as well. I've been to many other private gyms - more expensive gyms/fitness centers, and hands down F45 has the best workout moves, technical instructors, one-on-one attention for the price I pay. The Flatiron location is really awesome - if I live in NY full time I would sign up for membership at this location, for sure. Their weekly rate, though not cheap, is totally worth every penny if you want a satisfying total body workout in a friendly, non-intimidating, clean, and professional environment. All of the instructors are really wonderful - but a special shout out to Genna, Sydney, and Emily whose class I regularly attend because of my schedule. You ladies...

Best fitness experience EVER. I did the 2-week trial here when they first opened, and I instantly became addicted! The only reason I am not there anymore is because I absolutely cannot afford it, which is so sad, because I would be their most dedicated client if it was possible. The two trainers I worked with the most, Garreth and Dina, are not only extremely knowledgeable and helpful, but WOW are they supportive! Every day of my two weeks, I started my mornings here and tried something new, impressed with how I had improved and grown stronger from the day before. Every day and every exercise was unique from the next. They also have a great shower/locker room, fully stocked with everything you need. This is an excellent small business and I could sing of its praises all day - but it's just making me miss these workouts even more! Definitely go - you won't regret becoming a better,...
