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.
This is the best F45 Ive gone to. The coaches are VERY attentive, motivational and helpful, and the atmosphere is incredibly positive. Absolutely love this location.
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.
I love this place so much!!!!! Worth every penny and makes me so happy! Highly recommend it for the amazing peeps!
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.
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 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!
Such a community! Front desk is always welcoming and the trainers are so amazing and professional!
Since the first day I took a class at F45 East Hillcrest I felt like I belonged! Meg at the front desk was so helpful and friendly, ALL the trainers, and I mean ALL OF THEM want you to have the best fitness experience. I am grateful of the community they have built and that I get to be a part of it.
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!
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
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!
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
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.
Hands down the best gym experience I’ve ever had! Brock and the team at F45 East Hillcrest are super knowledgeable, motivating and fun. No matter your skill level, they tailor the workouts and movements to make it accessible for all. Highly recommend this gym!
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.
The energy and the positivity is incomparable. Love my Hillcrest fam! Would recommend popping in to see what the hype is about 😉
This is my 2nd time here since I moved to San Diego and it already feels like home! If you want an amazing push come take class! They are open, clean and following all guidelines. Don’t miss out and being a better version of you! And if you come in give some love to Kiara, Jerome, Brock and the lovely blue haired beauty Meg!
The trainers make you sweat and work hard for yourself with positive encouragement. Kiara is bomb. You’ll love her!!!
Brock is the best! Very motivating and energetic! Keeps you focused and form! Gives the best pep talks. He had really nice hair also.
I’ve been to gyms all around San Diego but I absolutely love the workouts and energy here!! The staff is friendly, supportive, and they have an endless amount of equipment. The workouts are never boring and the studio is very clean which I appreciate!
Kiara is amazing! She is so welcoming and friendly every time I enter the studio. She keeps everyone coming back! Best workout studio around!
F45 East Hillcrest has gone the extra mile to ensure eveyone has a safe, fun, and challenging experience. Shout out to the trainers coach Meg, Luke, Brock, Hayden and Megan that helped get me started. The gym and everyone gives off good energy. The program is sure to challenge you if youre willing to challenge yourself. I look forward to my workouts and leaving with a sence of accomplishment. 💪
This gym is hands down the best gym ever. Coaches are the best, the equipment is top notch and they even offer beach workouts on Saturday! Shout out Brock, Kiara, Luke, Meg, Megan & Nathan! Love my F45 fam.
Love this place!! Coaches are great, efficient quick workouts. Highly recommend A+++
I love it 45 because it’s so close to my work and there’s one everywhere pretty much in San Diego. I love the music the cleanliness and all the trainers professionalism really keeps me coming every day.
Have been coming here almost two years now. This studio has the best energy and coaches out of the other studios. Absolutely love this gym so much.
Truly life-changing!! Super fun environment, motivating yet comfortable. Different class options for different types of workouts. The coaches are all incredible!
Great place to visit from out of town, very professional and everyone was friendly and motivating! Wish I lived here to experience more classes but I definitely will be back!
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. There was no judgement and they encouraged us to push ourselves to our best potential! If you are in the area, hit this amazing gym, you won’t be sorry! Hoping to be back soon!
Brock and Kiara are the best! Always great energy and it’s an awesome workout all in 45 minutes!!
Just recently joined but I love this place! The workouts kick my butt, which is definitely what I needed. The trainers are all amazing and super fun! Its a great environment to workout in! Highly recommend coming here! Hillcrest is the best!
Love this gym! The staff is amazing!!!
Awesome workout, the facility is clean, and social distanced at all times. The staff are all friendly and very helpful!
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!
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!!
Amazing coaches! I love meagan and her workouts!
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.
Coaches are great, and very friendly front desk person, Kiara!
Best workout ever. Both Megan’s are the best!
Place is amazingly motivating and the whole team is friendly and supporting
Great facility and coaches. So much energy from the team! Classes will leave you energized and kick your butt at the same time. Amazing community and a great way to get in shape and make new friendships
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!
Awesome workouts and awesome results!
After visiting several F45 studios in the area, this one is by far the best one! It’s large, clean, tons of window lighting, and their bathroom and showers are super nice!I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, HIIT style training! Everyone is super nice and inviting.
Great studio and awesome team + community
Love this studio!!! I’ve taken other F45 workouts before but this one was (by far) the best one yet! Great trainers, awesome members, and the largest studio I’ve been at so far!! Can’t wait for my next workout!
I’ve been training with F45 for a coupleMonths now and this studio is incredible! The trainers are well educated and give excellent tips and motivation . The facility itself is beautiful and offers all the amenities . If you are looking for a great community gym and killer workout, I highly recommend this place !!
Great environment and awesome coaching. I strongly recommend trying this workout. I just finished the 8 week challenge and it completely transformed my body and my outlook on eating right.
Love this place!!
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!
Such a fun and great workout!
Amazing workout! Amazing coaches! Amazing gym! I have nothing bad to say about F45 Training East Hillcrest!
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!
The centre is now open, exercise hard and strong with great leadership these guys will make it a fun time and see you get results
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
By far the best training I’ve ever received from coaches
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!
Probably the most fun and effective workout in town.
Love the team and the trainers and the workout...Welcome to Hillcrest
Awsome training that works
Great work out
Amazing way to workout!
Best F45 studio in San Diego!
