Reviews of F45 Training Burnaby West (Gym)

Marika

This place literally has changed my life. Everybody in this community are overall amazing and coaches are always there for you to guide and workout in a safely manner. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a fun and challenging workouts. A special shoutout to Brit for always making my mornings!!!

Staff is incredibly friendly and motivating which gives this place its own community vibe and atmosphere. The equipment and the facility is spotless every time I have been here. I did a week long class when I was visiting from Toronto with my partner whos is now a regular and everyone, including other patrons were incredibly nice. Unsure why some other reviewers give anything below a 4-star here for reasons such as pricing and memberships when these details are clearly listed not only on their website, but the staff are upfront about the costs when you inquire about them. In fact if you sign up for longer terms, you actually end up savings on what is listed on the website. Keep up the great work Walt, Alec, Sam and Abby - you guys are awesome!

I signed up for a year after trying the one-week trial. Mac has amazing energy, and the classes are small enough to feel personal and connected. I enjoy my 6 am workouts - who knew I'd roll out of bed at 5:30 am for workouts! Highly recommend giving it a go.

The best place to training ever. 45 min of powerful training, excellent coaches, amazing equipment, a lot of fun. I don’t do diet and I was able to see body changes in like the first month. This is the honest review I’ve done (usually never put my review on google unless I love something) love this place!!!!

Alec was a great coach - friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. Facility is spotless and great selection of equipment. F45 is a wicked work out!

Michael Englo

New workouts every day, and you would hardly find yourself getting bored with exercising anymore. All equipments are desensetized and cleaned before every class.

Pedro Coutinho

Great energy and workouts! The coaches are awesome!

BEST THING: very efficient use of time, good pace, intensity, and duration. Workout stations are setup and ready to go. No time wasted on setting-up and re-racking equipment. Get in, get out. Perfect for busy people. WORST THING: limited capacity. Workouts are pre-booked online and some rush-hours are fully booked days ahead. If it's full, it's full. You cannot wait or "work in a set" like a regular gym. You'll need to plan ahead. The tv tells you what to do and when to do it. Instructor adds encouragement and modification suggestions. Best fitness studio (facility and instruction) i've been too. Beautiful, clean, and well-lit with floor to ceiling windows. You'll definitely get results IF you put in the time. My work schedule changed and I cannot go anymore; I have since gained fat.

Just finished my 3rd week at F45 and really enjoying it more than I thought I would. All the coaches and staff are very supportive and push you just enough to make sure you get the most out of your work out. The other members are all very friendly and have made me feel very welcome!

By far the best studio experience I've ever had! I would highly recommend! The moment I stepped in, I was greeted with smiles by Abby and Alec. The first few things I noticed was that they were extremely friendly and gave me a sense of importance as they called me by my first name throughout the workouts. I've never been to such a warm, family feeling studio. Also I'm not fit nor anywhere close but as a beginner, I was always checked on which I really appreciated. Shoutout to coach Alec because he was super supportive and helpful throughout the 3 day streak I had so far. The workouts killed me but I had a lot of fun doing so! In general, the studio carters to people who are beginners to athletes which is pretty cool. I was told tues/thurs were resistance work outs and mon/wed/fri are cardio work outs. Saturday is a nice blend.

I appreciate a space that is clean and well organized. I have been missing group fitness and the team at F45 North Burnaby is helping me through this time! Ps Brittany is wonderful! Love my Tuesday noon classes with her :)

Ray Barrett

Quick in and out workout in 45 minutes. Pick your pod, hook up your heart rate, watch your monitor and get form advice from the coach. It's great.

Anthony Morris

Workouts are good but the classes are too crowded for me. Also, the price isn’t worth it. I can go to a local CrossFit gym for less money and get similar results.

Kiky Tangerine

Great workout, quick (only 45 mins), and you see results! I lost 16lbs and 10% BF in just 8 weeks doing the F45 Challenge last year. Staff are very friendly, the gym is very well sanitized and cleaned, and the members make you feel like a part of a fit family. Definitely would recommend trying! Price is not cheap, but you do get what you pay for.

Zung Low

Great gym to target fitness goals!

Alice Lesmana

My favorite workout place and a place I called home now because the coaches here, friends I’ve made and people I got to know here are awesome and they are like family to me! This place is NOT the same as going to the gym or working out at home using workout app. You might ask me why...because it’s the the coaching session that you get from the coaches, the environment and there is no waste of time or excuses to take long breaks! It’s quick 45 mins, you work hard, push and be done with it. Love all the coaches and awesome owner - Walt & Cheryl! Thank you F45 Burnaby West for training me, guiding me to be better and push me when I needed the push! You have also helped me achieve my goals that I once thought was too difficult or impossible to achieve. Also, thank you for staying opened and keeping the place safe for everyone to continue to have a place as workout is the best thing that everyone can do during this hard times...and if you are wondering why I say that...it’s because what else will make you fitter and stronger than getting in shape? So...if you are curious and want to know what I say is true, sign up for 7 day trial and see it for yourself!! I highly recommend it!

Super personal and professional gym! They manage to help everyone out and feel welcome while maintaining strict COVID procedures. Even from my first session, I felt very comfortable attending classes. Good job to the team!

F45 Burnaby West helped me gain my confidence and strength back. After having a kid I stopped exercising and was in a bad shape. Just a month after going in, i noticed that I had already losing fat and I felt stronger. I have been with the studio for 5 months now and I have much better endurance, I lift heavier, I am stronger in every aspect. Believe it or not, before coming to f45 I had never lift any weight, never did I know how to do push up or pull ups or other kinds of strength exercises. What is burpee, I wonder. I was a cardio addict before. The trainer taught me everything. I still remember my first day in it was resistance training and Brittney had to explain all the equipment and showed me how to do the exercises. Quang literally taught me how to do push up, pull ups, squats, etc etc, and still to this date, pays attention and corrects me if I do the exercises incorrectly. I really owe it to Quang! And shout out to the other coaches, Julia, Mak, Meghan, Walt and Cheryl. This is an honest training experience from a total beginner. For anyone out there that wonder about F45 or strength training in general, but too scared or shy, come to F45 burnaby west and see for yourself. It is ok to take a step back if things started to feel too overwhelming (I did!), but don't stop there and keep on training!

Love this place to workout! Come here almost every single day haha it’s challeging but definitely feeling good and stronger everytime! Coaches are very good, especially Sarah!! Love her!

Dennis Bottiglieri

Changed my life . Highly recommend it

Staff, coaches and members are awesome, great community…best work outs ever!

Leah M

If you're looking for a great place to workout and improve your fitness in a judgement-free environment, this is it! The staff and owners are super friendly and supportive, and the workouts are always challenging and fun! The studio is very clean as well! I have definitely found my fitness community.

Workout Addict

Love this place! The instructors and owners are always super helpful and friendly. I've been a member here since June 2019! My only wish is for them to have towel service since I pay quite a premium for my membership and towels are essential for sweaty workouts. Amazing place to workout! I've tried many fitness studios around Vancouver and Burnaby and this is truly one of the best studios. The studio is very clean too!

Esther Lee

Class is fun and variety different workout options. Staff is really kind and caring. I would like to work in the morning before I go to work. They have many time slots that work for my schedule.

Erica

I come here for classes everyday sometimes even twice and it’s amazing! Good all round workout that will leave you sweating!

F45 Training Burnaby West is the best place to start your fitness and health journey! All it take is just 45 mins to change your life. Sessions are a great mix of cardio, resistance and functional movements that will get your heart pumping and have you coming back for more and more. This is not your typical gym, but more of a community; the Burnaby West Family to be exact. From the dedicated owners to the friendly and knowledgeable coaches this team is the real deal. I am lucky to train with an amazing team for over 2 years and have never looked back! The workouts are different each day, challenging, sweaty and yes even fun! It definitely is "team training - life changing" as the tagline says. What are you waiting? Go start the trial and experience that F45 feeling!

Ariana Bell

F45 is not just a gym or workout studio, it is a community. The trainers are truly there to push and support you. The work outs are challenging and give you visible physical results. I would recommend F45 to anyone who needs a kickstart to get back into shape or anyone who wants to challenge themselves to take their fitness to the next level.

Mike E

Amazing all around experience. Such a great community of people and a positive vibe at the studio. Love the energy, especially on cardio days and on the weekend! Highly recommend F45 Burnaby West to people of all fitness levels and abilities. It's definitely worth it!

Helen Oh

F45 is the best way to get a workout in without wasting time in between exercises. The team environment helps you push each other to reach your goals or just have a good time working out. Cant say enough good things about them.

Really disappointed with this gym and the way I’ve been treated, would not recommend to anyone who doesn’t already have a good knowledge of exercise and how to adapt very advanced moves to suit different levels. Definitely wouldn’t recommend to anyone with injuries. Before starting I discussed in full my injuries with Cheryl the owner as I am returning to exercise after a car crash I was told that it was no issue and modifications could be made for anything that was an issue. I did the trial week, I didn’t think it was the best gym you basically follow a screen with exercises on it, very quick warm up and no cool down or stretching advised after but it was handy for getting some fitness back and I could walk to it which was a big pull. The plan was to do the 6 month membership gain my base level fitness back before moving to a better gym where they give more personalised attention to people for similar a price (230 a month I was paying here definitely not worth it) I signed up for the 6 month membership and was paying by weekly. I had to modify all of my own exercises myself as there isn’t enough time before or during to speak to anyone even though they say there is there isn’t (except for coach Sarah in the mornings she gave me some good modifications but I couldn’t make her classes regularly) on my 3rd week I started to notice my ankle and my knees were starting to hurt (there is A LOT of jumping lunges and squats and I was always being told to just do squats for exercises I couldn’t do because of my injuries) went to the physio he said I have a repetitive stress injury had to get shockwave on my knees etc. Gave me a letter to say I shouldn’t be doing F45. Tried contacting the gym on multiple occasions more then 5 calls and many texts over the course of a week I finally received a call today where I was told usually when people cancel gym memberships they are charged 50% of the rest of their membership but they were going to do me a favour and only charge me a lower rate for the rest of my months (5+) I explained my situation (I do not have benefits so am now paying for physio because of F45) and now also have to pay monthly for a gym that I am not using because they cannot support people with injuries as they assured they could. I had honestly thought they would have given me back the $115 I just paid last week as I haven’t been able to go anymore. Long story short do not go here unless you know exactly how to exercise and you like paying CrossFit prices for following a screen around a circuit.

Decent system but way too expensive. There are a lot of great fitness studios with better instructors in the area such as New Body Alliance and The Next Step Training as well and Dynasty if you prefer CrossFit or powerlifting style training.

Richmond Ong

F45 is a fun, efficient and effective workout environment. The coaches there are great and will help push you to reach your goals. Come join the party.

Ashley Osmun

I have been attending this gym since the first week they opened in April 2019. The owners and trainers are fantastic and do an exceptional job. I have never been able to stick to a gym routine until I joined F45 Burnaby West. The workouts are challenging and it really does feel like your fit family!

Priscilla Wong

As someone who is not fit at all and a total beginner, I felt really welcomed by F45 Burnaby West! I was nervous at first but did not feel uncomfortable at all nor out of place. Each session flies by quickly and I would be dripping with sweat after the first few sets of exercises! After attending classes for a month, I feel a little stronger and more confident with using weights. The coaches are are really friendly, equipment is clean and still very new, atmosphere is very positive!

The best workout experience especially since I grew up playing sports and always in the gym. The community is uplifting, the trainers are incredible and push you to your best. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a challenging and fun workout routine! Shoutout to Brittany for always bringing positivity, challenge and GREAT MUSIC!

Giuliana Pellizzari

Brittney is the most INCREDIBLE trainer!!! F45 has an incredible community of people who are dedicated to working hard. Mornings with Britt are my fave part of the day.
