Really good place to get a workout. You’re in and out in about 50 minutes total. Great coaches, diverse workouts, not too expensive.

F45 Alamitos Bay has been the perfect fit for me. The workouts are very challenging while there’s options to modify as needed. The coaches are amazing! All of them are good at providing correction and guidance, in a supportive way. That is what keeps me coming back!

I had been a decade + member of another fitness studio in the same plaza so when I saw F45 was coming, I was intrigued--changes at the studio I was with eliminated strength and cardio classes I enjoyed. I talked to the owner Suzy many times pre-opening and she was so friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like this was just the switch I needed--I even talked my partner into going to the special preview bootcamp at Ballast Point in 2019. What a shock to both our systems! It kicked our asses but that was just the beginning. Fast forward to 2025, I can say I have never felt so strong and motivated to work out! I've now completed well over 1000 workouts w/F45--definitely a lot more if you count the home zoom workouts during the pandemic. And speaking of that...we were in the middle of a fitness challenge in Spring 2020 and I was on a roll. Then everything was shut down. Owners Suzy and Josh sprung into action and quickly pivoted with first the online workouts, then outdoor workouts. It was a godsend during an extremely stressful time (the horrors of online schooling anyone?) when many things felt out of our control. The coaches and the owners were amazing in checking in and making options available for us to keep on pushing. I completed the challenge even with the modified workouts and was extremely proud of the results, so much so I kept on going and continued to see improvements all through the summer and fall. I have seen many other members transform, and it's been a supportive, friendly environment where partnering makes for everyday chances to meet new people. In the last year or so, there's been huge community building that's happened and we've had a blast with a bunch of different social events, hiking, a Catalina weekender and surfing is coming up soon! It's been so welcoming and I've loved seeing the connections happening organically. As a huge F45 advocate, for anyone wondering if they should give it a try, it's as simple as asking yourself "what do I have to lose?" In terms of giving it a try, absolutely nothing. I understand how many might balk at a premium membership when there's many gyms for less, but there is a big difference in terms of support and personal attention from coaches and the owners. Plus, once I did the math with as much as I go, the cost per class is super reasonable. The workouts don't repeat, and there are new challenges to keep it fresh. Add to that the potential gain in strength, endurance and confidence, and I have seen my investment in my health and wellness pay off tenfold, and the best choice I could have made in helping me achieve a higher level of fitness.
