The name stands for “Functional Training 45”, with sessions being a mix of functional HIIT and strength exercises delivered in a 45-minute format. Each day, the workout is predetermined by F45 HQ and is the same at every F45 location worldwide. 

Their Saturday “Hollywood” sessions are the only 60-minute class and are famous for hiring local DJs to create a party atmosphere and bring the community together.

Workouts are typically run by two or more coaches per class. To support the coach, clients are guided by screens that display each exercise as well as beeps and graphics that cue them to work, rest or move to their next station.

Our call to the branch was answered, with our questions answered and the basics covered for our visit.

On arrival there was a class running, so were advised to wait in the coffee shop next door. The coach was also in charge of checking people into the class, which was done without a defined front desk area, but rather on the training floor.

After the session, the team at the club were comfortable discussing our options to continue our training.

F45 Bondi Beach received The Fit Guide 4-Star Class Experience Award, making it one of Sydney’s stand-out offerings.

The workout was easy to follow as the screens displayed the movements clearly and there was good communication from the two coaches. The structure of the class was explained well, which included some advanced movements such as squat jump thrusters.

Overall, despite lacking some individualized coaching from the team, it was a fun and positive experience

The equipment used in the session was of high quality and was branded. The studio was a large space that, coupled with the TV screens displaying the workouts, offered a strong sense of brand.

Towels and lockers were not provided. Free water refill stations were available.

The facilities at the club were limited. No showers were available, although there were shower facilities that could be used at a nearby club.

The online booking process was simple and aided by the branded F45 app. The website structure was functional and easy to navigate, although it did lack some features such as bios for the coaches.

The club used F45’s signature screen technology to display the workouts, which clearly display each exercise and what’s coming up next.
