Ive been coming here for years and still get a great, challenging workout every visit. I love that there is a consistent structure, so I know what to expect, and yet its a different workout with different exercises each time so it never gets boring. Since F45 is a franchise, its pretty fun to think that people across the world are doing the exact same workout as we are here in Pasadena. In fact, when traveling to different states, or even other countries, Ive been able to visit studios there and I love the familiarity of it. The Pasadena studio is family-owned and the owners, Gabe & Michelle, take feedback and concerns seriously. Theyre always looking for ways to make the experience better and I love that personal touch. The coaches at Pasadena know just about everyones names and are super friendly and motivating. They push you but are also sensitive to injuries or limitations and are able to provide modifications, if needed. Shout out to Christian, Nick, & Lauren - when I dont feeling like getting myself out of bed and over to the 6am class, I know I can count on them to be there energized & ready to go.

Great gym! We've been going for years now and there's really no better workout facility in Pasadena than F45. The coaches are very knowledgeable and always there to assist you. But more importantly the teammate's there are all cool peeps, only good vibes and good workouts.

F45 in general is a pretty awesome system, especially for someone like me, who has has a hard time finding and keeping the motivation to stick with exercise routines. The high intensity framework has been totally gamified here, with large visible countdown timers and optional heart rate leaderboard that makes even heavy exertion for a non-exerciser seem doable if only for 40 second bursts. When I first went in, I hadn't done cardio for about 25 years. In any form. The first class (I later learned) was one of the hardest cardio classes offered at the time, and happened to be a lightly attended one, with just me and one other person (Hi, Sarah!). Lost of attention from the instructor, lots of cardio...It killed me. But...I finished it. That was the key thing for me. If the courses are so hard they can't be finished, I would have been gone. But they are challenging yet completable by really anyone. The various F45 locations can differ significantly from one another, as they are independent franchises. Cameron, who handles the Pasadena and Glendale locations, has done an amazing job creating a supportive community of members and, more importantly, succeeded in instructor retention, which to me is the most important determinant of class based exercise. Having the same instructor for months to years really benefits the workout. The instructors are also heavily focused on form and safety as opposed to exertion and weight (unlike a lot of Crossfit places). I've been told at times to lower weight and focus on form, and they really know their stuff. The classes synergize in sequence, with M/W/F generally being fast paced cardio and T/Th being slower intensity weight-based interval training. Saturday boasts a 60 minute hybrid course. The courses are built such that one can go every day and not overload muscle groups, which creates an amazing feeling of working hard but never getting incapacitated, very important for someone new to exercise. At its best, F45 is nothing short of body transformational. At age 44, going 6 days a week and doing a low carb diet, I went from 170lbs to 144lbs and 24% body fat to 13% body fat, all in 8 weeks. It was pretty astounding actually. There are usually promotions so make sure to ask. Class packages are usually a good way to start, and then if it clicks go to the monthly. If you are someone that has, say, hated exercise your whole life, held an Equinox membership and not really used it, ignored the Peleton sitting in your guest room for months on end, and hates the fact that you get winded on hikes with your family, then F45 might be the perfect combination of brevity, assistance, exertion, and accountability that you need. Highly recommended, obviously.
