Ashely was always a amazing coach but it’s not till I joined another F45 due to moving that I really appreciate what a WONDERFUL coach she is she so encouraging even so early in the morning she’s pushes you a way where you feel so positive! All of her feed back and comment just put me in a good mood for a work out! She really is a spectacular coach and I encourage anyone to join everyone of her classes!

Staff is very friendly, and Coach Nathan is always pushing you and providing great energy throughout your whole workout! Working out used to be a chore for me, and now Im always excited to go to an F45 class. Definitely a great place to meet new people and have fun working out.

I came to try out a class and it was so amazing!! The community is really welcoming and the front desk girls and coaches make sure to listen to you & any goals or needs you may have. They also have events that really helped me become a part of the community here. I 1000% recommend!

Thanks for helping me lose 8 lbs, increase muscle mass by 5lbs and decrease body fat by 10% during my time here [2 months] ! Brock, Luke Nathan, Meg, Meghan and all the coaches here are the best!!! Luke also hooked me up with meal service Maple Blue which I love! Exercise and nutrition go hand in hand.

Tried to start my professional fitness journey here as I loved the initial atmosphere and layout. They seemed very excited to have me there! After about a week the head coach went MIA, and a coach bullied me out of trying to reach out to them by repeatedly having me removed. Some of the coaches and people here make it worth it but I cant get past how sneaky it felt to be made into a sales pitch.

The energy at this F45 studio is contagious - and thats ALWAYS a good thing!! Ive been coming to the Hillcrest location for over a year & Im also one of the DJs for Saturday classes - the vibe that this place has is second to none (from the owners to the members). Ive been to several other F45 studios in SD, and the trainers here are just on a different level; whereas other places may tell you to go faster faster! to get as many reps in & get your heart rate up, here the focus is on quality, not quantity - they help the clients, no matter their level of fitness, maintain good form throughout the set and suggest any modifications as needed. This is really important, especially in a group setting. The workouts are always intense - Ive been doing F45 since June 2017, and they never get easier. Its good to see the trainers always challenge even the more advanced members. They are also very passionate about the program, and thats evident from the enthusiasm they bring to the classes. The studio also hosts various social events throughout the year such as beach workouts and comedy nights which help to keep the feel of a strong community.Nowadays with COVID, the studio has done a phenomenal job with making the necessary modifications to maintain social distancing and cleanliness (it has always been clean!). We are all spaced at least 6 feet apart and have all the equipment we need in our tile, so no rotating/sharing equipment which was the case pre-COVID. Cleaning solution is also at each tile, and we all clean our equipment thoroughly at the end of the class. The trainers will then do another cleaning immediately after and before the next class. I have zero hesitation coming here during these current times.Yes, Id highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a group training setting. I could have asked to DJ at several other F45 studios in SD, but from their social media content I knew the Hillcrest location was a step above the rest. I believe the studio is the largest F45 in the city - another perk to consider!**Note - the DJ pics are pre-COVID - as mentioned above, everyone works out in their own square tile now.

We did a free trial session at this location and it was a wonderful experience! It was super easy for us to get signed up late the night before and when we showed up they were expecting us, walked us through all of the moves with a quick assessment and even gave us a free smoothie at the end! It was a great workout and really fun but also not too challenging for a beginner. Highly recommend! The trainers were really great and friendly as well and made us feel comfortable.

I came looking to workout and got so much more. It’s hard to find a gym that’s not intimidating and this place has such a kind staff and community! I love that Brock checks in with his members via text. I was gifted a free class and loved it so much I stayed. Look forward to it every week!

Easy to schedule classes being held outside, in distanced and clean space while still using all the same equipment as would be using inside. The trainers are all upbeat, fun, and helpful. They offer a free training session outdoors every weekend. Love it.

I came here looking to improve on my athletic abilities . Being that I’m soon to be 40 I was concerned with my ability to keep up. They made me feel right at hone and helped me to make sure I was doing the workouts correct and not hurting myself, not to mention they push you! I mean push you! They help you track results and make sure you’re getting towards your fitness goals. I highly recommend this place for anyone from beginner to advanced

I have always loved F45, but I am especially enjoying my experience at the East Hillcrest location. The equipment is nice and new, which isnt the case at all studios. I love the precautions they have put into place during the pandemic, making the experience safe and trustworthy. The trainers are all great, and the energy is upbeat and fun at this location. Glad I joined!

Great to see the community atmosphere at this gym/studio. Its always good to see old faces of trainers, such as Hayden, return and coach again. No matter how long someone has been away - you are always greeted with open arms here! From the trainers, the owners and the members - its so great to be part of it!

I have never trained before and I needed more than just a treadmill at a gym. I needed guidance and accountability. I came here and I instantly felt welcome. All of the coaches are extremely helpful and they push you. I recommend trying it for yourself! I notice myself improving! All the equipment is clean and sanitized after each use.

Covid Conscious gym gets you sweating hard in 45 minutes. This spacious gym has all the equipment you need in your 6 ft bubble so you don’t have to interact with others. The equipment is sanitized thoroughly after use as well. The class system keeps me motivated to go and use the most out of my membership

Brock runs the East Hillcrest location and truly makes the clientele feel at home. He warmly welcomes me every time I come in to class. He pushes me harder than I’ve been able to push myself. Meagan Barnaba is also such a great coach! Thank you both for helping keep my mind and body in shape.

I joined in August of 2018. Two years and over 400+ classes and counting, F45 has been instrumental in my overall health and well being. Since joining, I have hit my goal weight and now have a new goal weight. I have gone from 25% body fat to 10.5% during that time which helped me get my cholesterol levels and blood pressure in check. I am forever grateful to the studio and the entire coaching staff that pushed me to my limits and putting up with this almost old guy telling them to leave me alone. #HillcrestDaddy loves me some F45.

I LOVE F45 Hillcrest! I’ve tried several different workout classes and this is my favorite. The trainers are sooo full of energy and positivity. They know your strengths and weakness and work with you to get to your fitness goal. They also focus on your form and recovery to prevent any injuries. It’s the fitness community I was looking for. PLUS they are very clean. All the equipment is cleaned after every class. :)

This is the best F45 Ive been to! Moving over from Australia and looking for a F45 in SD, the space that F45 East Hillcrest has with the super high ceilings and floor space, makes it very comfortable to work out in.The energy of the trainers, staff and other clients are always high and positive!There is now even an Outdoor space in their back parking lot to do workouts in the open air during this pandemic!All their trainers (Meagan B, Brocky D, Megan R and Mat) and staff also show a vested interest in your fitness and progress.

GREAT PLACE TO BE. My cousin and i came all the way from Spokane Washington. The vibes were unreal. We were welcomed by amazing staff and owner.

This studio has THE BEST conditioning classes in San Diego! Ive tried other locations but ultimately I decided to join East Hillcrest because the classes are phenomenal - I was sold after one class haha. The studio is large and spacious, the bathroom is beautiful, and you also get a ton of perks being a member here. Brock makes sure to hook us up with all kinds of swag and discounts and the fellow members here are awesome. A big sense of community at this gym along with lots of events provided outside of the studio. So happy I found my new fitness home!

Review №43

I’ve been training at F45 for a little over a year now, and while I have been to other studios/gyms this one is has by far become my favorite! Some of the best parts about this studio is the team training technique (for those athletes out there), they’re classes rather than open gym, ultimately eliminating the brain work to plan my workouts and change them periodically, and it’s only 45 minutes! You really can’t go wrong. The trainers are knowledgeable and energetic and i always look forward to going back every morning (sometimes multiple times a day). The workouts themselves are challenging, yet anyone can do them with or without modifications. This is certainly a “functional” gym and since getting into my routine with F45 I have become noticeably stronger, leaner and have found my happy place! Highly recommend trying it out for yourself if you want to change your life!!

I have tried other locations, but I LOVE this location. It is always pretty easy to find parking, the facility is clean, and the coaches are phenomenal! Highly motivating and it is one of the few workout classes that I have found that keeps be going 6 days a week! Its great to get such a high intense workout done in 45 minutes so I can get in and get out fast and head to work. Taylor and Brock are amazing and cant wait to start my 8 week challenge next week.

F45 Training East Hillcrest is more than just a gym to exercise functionally for 45 mins. It is a space that encourages the Im possible, surrounded by like-minded people that force one to level up without one realizing; specifically F45 Training East Hillcrest is like no other fitness studio. Its a kind of magic!What really caught my attention was their 8-week wellness challenge. There is no other word to describe it except wholesome. So far I am five weeks into it and Ive started to see a change in my physic in less than three, however more so I noticed a change in my mindset, which is priceless.Thank you, everyone, at F45 Training East Hillcrest for making my experience life-altering. My gratitude for you runs deep.*F45 Training East Hillcrest: 10/10 friendly, clean, motivating, and functional (meaning; anyone willing CAN do the exercises). Just go for it!

Started with Hillcrest F45 gym on day 1 when it opened a year ago. Its a great facility, the program is challenging but not impossible (HIIT for 45 minutes each class)...some days can really kick your butt but you feel great afterwards, the results come when you follow the program and the coach staff (lead by Brock) are very welcoming, not intimidating at all. Its been a great place to workout!

I visited San Diego for vacation last week and a friend recommended F45 since I have a history of Crossfit and Orangetheory so this was a great combination of the two. The facility was really clean, it included showers, bathrooms, and a really nice area to get ready with blowdryers, straighteners, etc! I was really impressed. The two coaches were really engaging and did a great job making sure everyones form was in check. Thanks again for your hospitality!

F45 is the best gym, fitness exercise class in San Diego. The boys (Brock, Evan, and Luke) are the best. Their team is outstanding. I attend the 5am or 6am classes and they rock! The classes are a functional tabata style. Love the cardio-metabolic aspect of the classes. DEFINITELY recommend this gym. #justdoit

Review №66

F45 is the best workout Ive ever done. My body has completely transformed since starting this workout without much change in my diet. Evan, Jason, Brock, Steph, Stevie, Jonny & Mariella are some of the trainers at the Hillcrest and La Jolla studio who really push me to get me in the best shape- strong and lean. They know your name when you walk through the door, they pay attention to your form and they genuinely want to help you succeed and reach your fitness goals. This workout is so addicting and the time in class flies by because there is never one day where the workout is the same. I highly recommend the trainers at these two studios!
