Every fitness studio has its own approach to hyping up its visitors and inspiring a sense of accomplishment. F45 Training uses a combination of 45-minute functional training sessions programmed for efficiency, coupled with a motivational team-building mentality. Fortunately, this unique pairing has proven to be a winning formula. F45 opened its first studio in Australia in 2013 and has since expanded to more than 3,300 studios in 67 countries. But before signing up for a membership of your own, here’s what to know about F45 pricing.
If you live near one of the many F45 studios and are interested in giving it a try, you have options. Since the chain’s pricing is dependent on location, we dove deeper into the various prices and memberships available, giving you a better idea of what to anticipate financially. Here’s the inside scoop on how much F45 costs and what you can expect to get out of your investment.
How Much Does F45 Cost?
Pricing varies across studios, as do the specific membership tiers and class pack options available. The easiest way to find out exact pricing is to contact your closest studio or to use the “Find a Studio” feature on the F45 site. That said, you can generally expect to pay around $30 to $40 for a single drop-in class. Monthly memberships fall around $170 at some of the more affordable locations, while other locations charge upwards of $250, although there are also options to pay biweekly. As an important note, your membership will typically only grant access to the specific studio you sign up for. For a better estimate, the pricing at a studio in the Flatiron district of Manhattan is as follows:
F45’s pricing places it within the ballpark of other national workout studios, like Orangetheory Fitness and Club Pilates. If you prefer group instruction, value the benefits of cardio and resistance training, or just love to push your limits, you might find that F45’s fees are well worth it.
What Are F45 Workouts Like?
Whether you opt for a membership or à la carte classes, you can use F45’s extensive selection of workouts to craft a well-rounded routine. The studios offer Cardio classes that combine aerobic and anaerobic work; Resistance classes designed to build power and stability; Hybrid cardio and resistance classes; and Recovery classes focused on mobility and flexibility.
Each F45 class offers a full-body workout, and no two workouts are the same, according to the brand. You’ll also use tons of different equipment in class, from spin bikes and free weights to battle ropes and plyometric boxes.
Are There Any Other F45 Costs to Know About?
If you like tracking your metrics during workouts, you can purchase F45’s Lionheart Heart Rate Monitor to use during the classes. The device tracks your heart rate, percentage of maximum effort, total calories burned, and rates your performance with a points system. You can view your stats on screens in the studios throughout class. While the heart rate monitor is available for purchase at F45 studios, they aren’t a requisite for taking classes. The cost of the monitors is set by each individual studio, per the F45 website (around $50-100 with the accompanying band, according to Reddit).
F45 holds several 45-day challenges throughout the year, which are targeted fitness and nutrition programs that sometimes come at an additional cost. Anyone who downloads the F45 Challenge app can view meal plans and recipes, and F45 members also get access to on-demand workouts.
