F45 Training Ballina

This is a great gym.  The staff are friendly and remember your name and the workouts are challenging and efficient. I also like that each instructor here brings a distinct personality, vibe, and (sometimes) music selection to their classes.

I dropped into F45 Arlington today while I'm in town for work. I emailed earlier in the week and Max set me up with a member discount! The class was awesome, really organized and fun. Rob was a great lead coach and the energy in the class was perfect. I'll be back next time I'm in DC! More...

The workouts change every day to keep it challenging and fun. The music is motivating and you feel so amazing after each workout. The F45 trainers are awesome - they're all so knowledgable and encouraging- it's like having 2 personal trainers right there with you every session. I love it so much I drive an hour one way to go a few times a week. I highly recommend checking it out. They have a free one week trial. More...

I have rarely posted a review on this site but I feel that F45 Arlington deserves to be recognized for what they are and what they do for their customers. I have been in and out of different gyms and training programs for the better part of 20 years and have to say the energy and sheer enjoyment I get from working out with F45 Arlington has been a welcome change to my routine.  The owner and staff go out of their way to ensure you have the best workout experience you can, from correcting form, to giving advice on technique they are never to busy to help and always willing to chat.  I had a pretty bad shoulder injury a few years back and generally nurse one side of my body while working out so much so that I rarely even think about it anymore.  One of the trainers noticed this within the first few times I took her class and went out of her way to help me.  She took time to give me alternative ways to perform certain F45 movements so I could build that area of my body up again without over stressing it.  That was great in and of itself but she has continued to give me that advice anytime I am in one of her classes and that is above and beyond as far as I'm concerned.  The vibe at F45 is more like going to meet up with a bunch of friends than it is like trying to convince yourself to hit the gym.  I actually miss the energy and encouragement from the members there while I'm away for work and trying to workout in a hotel, and usually get in the first class I can when I get back.If you are looking to burn some calories in a fun and innovative way then I cannot recommend F45 Arlington enough.

I've been going to F45 since it opened and have not looked back since! I was taking different classes on  Classpass before this and tried all sorts of gyms and studios from Rosslyn to Ballston, but have not liked them enough to get a full membership anywhere. I luckily stumbled upon F45 and did their free trial, and it's been 7+ months since and my experience here has just gotten better. The coaches know your name, they correct your form, the workouts change daily, and if you ever get confused they have TVs that show you the workout. There's also always a second person assisting the coach in the class so you can also get help/corrections from them. I love that you're never stuck doing the same thing for a long period of time and still feel accomplished after. I've definitely gotten stronger since I joined and could do so much better on the individual movements so I know I've been improving! I joined their 8-week challenge which they do 4x a year and it has helped me lose weight and fat and understand so much more about food, nutrition, and working out. Some days can get crowded but people usually know to be aware of people around them and it's hardly been a problem for me. All in all a great place that is for sure worth trying out! More...

F45 has been great for me to help push through a plateau in my training! I love that the trainers really push you and know your name.

I've been going to this gym since it opened up in early 2019 and have loved it ever since. The coaches and staff treat everyone like family. The classes change everyday so it never feels repetitive. I look forward to getting up and going to class. There's also a sense of accountability knowing I signed up for a class and people are expecting me to show up. Great for all levels and the coaches always look for ways to challenge you as they get to know your limits. Best gym I've been to in the Arlington area! More...

F45 Ballston is a great switch from your everyday mundane workouts. It combines high intensity with functional training. It also provides a great upbeat environment with onsite instructors and sometimes has a live DJ and is in a great central location in Arlington. It provides a challenging workout for any level athlete. I strongly recommend giving it a try, you won't regret. More...

Simply THE BEST! I frequently come to F45 Arlington to get a total-body workout. It is hard to push yourself to the limit when you are working out alone - group training is very effective in that regard. I can say that I have significantly lowered my body fat % and seen strength gains across the board. Definitely beach body ready for this Summer. Thank you F45!!! More...

I have been waiting to do F45 for such a longtime and now I am glad that I am going to do it more regularly since they opened. Such great staff and they are always pushing you to dig deep even when your mind says no but your body can. F45 was made for someone like me that overthinks what exercise to do at the gym. I LOVE that there is variety with purpose and I don’t have to create a routine. More...

Coming 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 can download).

So I definitely understand some of the negative reviews.  Some of the classes are very crowded, which can make it difficult to grab the weights you want (I haven't had an issue with bumping into people), and I am very concerned about getting sick during cold and flu season because there really isn't time to wipe down anything and they don't have hand sanitizer, but they encourage a lot of high fives.  But if you get past those issues, it's a really fun workout!  I like that I can show up right on time as opposed to OT where I have to get there early to grab my treadmill spot.  The workouts alternate between cardio days and strength days.  Since I already go to OT, the cardio is bonus and fun since no running, but the strength days are definitely a nice change of pace to be able to lift heavier and do some different exercises like pull-ups.  The coaches are all great, but Rob and Katie are my favorites.  There's some time between classes if you need to stretch or ask the coaches any questions.  I wish they had an 8am class on weekdays, and maybe a Sunday evening class.  The cancellation policy is three hours, which is super generous compared to other studios, and the waitlist typically moves.  I think if you are new to group exercise, this class could be daunting, especially if you go during a peak time, but if you can ease into it by going to some less busy classes so that you get accustomed to some of the moves and transitions, this is a really fun way to get your cardio or strength training done in an efficient 45 minutes.  The workout is kind of like going to crossfit and doing the metcon.

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 always know exactly what you're doing. Give it a shot if you want to be challenged and also have a great time while working out! More...

This place is awesome! I've been training at F45 since they opened a few months ago. I've always enjoyed a good workout (been a member of Gold's for years) but I was looking to take my fitness to the next level after having my second baby. F45 is exactly what I was looking for. I've never done the same workout twice, and I'm both amazed by what my body can do and humbled by how much work there is to be done!   Never boring - the DJ on Saturday is so fun and the coaches push me past my comfort-level while also recommending workout modifications when needed.

Workouts are never the same at all. Totally diffract every time I come in. MWF, cardio. TTH, strength. Saturday there's a flipping DJ, too much fun. I have tried every group fitness studio in the area and have thoroughly enjoyed them all but what's special about this F45 specifically is the community! I never miss a class because I look forward to seeing everyone. I take Rob's classes most days and he is the BEST and the reason I stuck with this gym! (All of the trainers are awesome though!) He makes you push yourself in a super encouraging way and makes everyone feel welcomed. This studio exemplifies working to be a better version of yourself but still loving you along the way!!!

F45 Training Arlington is great addition to the Ballston neighborhood.  The workouts are tough and rewarding. You are able to modify the movements as necessary, but it is important that you let the trainer know ahead of time if you have any injuries or need to modify anything. Even though it seems like it can get a bit crowded, classes run well and are very organized. The trainers demo and go over all of the movements before class so it is important that you arrive early. Since I have been a member, the overall vibe of studio/community at F45 is very supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to try something new and looking to challenge themselves. What you put in is what you get out of it. It is also nice that there are no contracts at this studio unlike many other gyms where you are stuck in a contract for a year (or more). More...

I've had the opportunity to be a part of the studio for the past few months and have seen incredible progress in my fitness level in a very short amount of time. The workouts are extremely challenging (you will improve!), but the trainers are there to make sure you are pushing yourself and performing the exercises with good form in order to avoid injury- a huge plus since F45 employs personal trainers. Lastly the month to month contract is a differentiator- you can go an unlimited number of times a month for a fraction of their competitors. All in all a great experience- thanks F45! More...

I did CrossFit two years prior to and had an awful experience when I moved to the area. F45 is what Ballston needed. A great fitness community that pushes you to be a better person. All the coaches are supportive, understanding of your fitness needs to include scaling options if you are struggling with a certain moment and listen to the members if they have a previous injury. Since I joined in January, I can see the difference in my form, strength, and energy. The owner Zac is a great guy who genuinely cares for his members like family. I highly recommend F45 to anybody who wants a challenge and wants to try something new! So happy I found F45! More...

If you are looking to change up your workout routine and are specifically looking for intense workouts, high energy, great music, knowledgeable trainers, and a strong community of people wanting to better themselves you MUST try F45! The studio is conveniently located in the middle of Ballston, but don't worry, there is street parking all over the place. The studio is full of brand new equipment and tons of it. You won't be confined to a rower and treadmill, in fact, there are NO treadmills at this studio (which I personally love). You will get the opportunity to use equipment you may not have encountered before at your typical boutique fitness gyms. They also have all different weight so if you are a beginner like me, don't worry there are weights for you, if you are super advanced and can lift heavy, there are weights for you too! The studio is designed and extremely welcoming to all levels and no matter where you are in your fitness journey, the classes will challenge you! Classes are 45 minutes and the studio offers 60 minute classes on Saturdays. They offer many class times starting at 5:00 am to 7:30 pm. You can very easily sign up on their app. One thing I've really liked about F45 so far is that waitlists are at a minimum. Unlike other gyms where you sit on a waitlist for a week and have to fight to get into prime time classes, you will not find that at F45. Booking classes has been a breeze. There is a 3 hour cancellation policy with a late cancel fee of $10.00 so you do have to be conscious of that. And unlike other gyms F45 does not force you into a contract which is another plus! Moving on to the classes - they are AMAZING. The workouts alter between cardio and strength. I don't think I've ever left class not being completely soaked. The classes are challenging but doable so do not be discouraged. The trainers offer many modifications and will be right by your side pushing you through. If you take class consistently you will definitely start seeing results. If you are looking for something new to try and are bored of your current workout routine, I HIGHLY encourage you to give F45 a try! More...

This is by far the best studio in the DMV area! I have pretty much tried everything...including Orange Theory, Madabolic, Pure Barre, Lava Barre, Xtend Barre, Solicore etc. This workout challenges me and pushes me beyond my limits every single time! It's a brand new space, super clean with the nicest people you will ever meet! Every class is 45 min except for Saturday classes which are called Hollywood workouts (they have a Dj and it's super fun!!!!) that are 1 hr in duration. Some days are dedicated to cardio and some others to strength training. The cardio days are so hard and challenging, I am literally sweating within the first 5 min of class...I love it! After every workout, I always feel so great and exhausted, but with the feeling that I accomplished something really terrific...and I never feel bored because their workouts are different every day! The owners, instructors and entire staff are all amazing! Zac is so great, he always remembers your name, pushes you hard, makes sure you are using correct form and always makes you feel like part of their workout family. I have tried classes with Jess, Soriana, Katie, Jen and Punita as well, and I love them all! They are strong, and always push you to go further and do more than you think that you are able to. They are all sweet, motivating and super encouraging! Overall, it's a MUST go-to place for anyone who wants to work out hard, sweat, challenge their bodies and have a great time doing it.
