I attended the “Vegas” workout this morning and had to leave a review for Coach Cameron. While I have always been a big fan of F45, Cameron is truly one of the best coaches I have had at this location. He is professional, highly knowledgeable about form correction, and constantly engaged with the room, making sure everyone is performing at their best. He brings great energy, motivates and encourages throughout, and keeps the space organized with equipment cleaned and ready for the next set. Cameron is a real asset to the F45 team, and I cannot wait to take another class with him!

Not recommended because F45 has predatory cancellation/membership policies.
Two main issues:
1) while the cancellation window is 8 hours, the brattle st location charges cancellation fee ($15) even within the timeframe and never follow up for correction. What’s worse, the cancellation fee was never explained during onboarding.
2) My membership was for 3-month only. I requested membership cancellation at the end of the third month since I am out of the town for the summer. They still charged a recurring monthly fee. When asked for a correction. Their response was ‘too late, we need a notice at least 30 days in advance.’ Shouldn’t F45 explain the policy when I texted the message and made my intention clear? You never followed up.

High intensity, variable workout in a great location and environment. Harrison and John are very welcoming. The workouts feel holistic and focus on full body movements which is more relevant for life as compared to isolating muscle groups. Very fun classes

After more than 6 months looking for a place to train near Harvard Sq, I came across this place. For a long time, I hadn't tried it because I found their plans on the web too expensive, but if you go to the place, they have monthly plans that are totally affordable. The coaching staff has incredible energy. In my case, I like to train with a guide, and not independently in a gym, this is the place I recommend the most in Harvard Sq. for price and quality.
Also the app gives you recipes, ideas, monitor your evolution and more.

I have been working out at this studio for almost a year now and I have loved it! The coaches are super nice and encouraging (especially Harrison and Bella)! These classes have helped me improve my stamina and strengthen my body. I really like that there are a breakdown of cardio or strength focused days because I know what to expect even though the workouts are always changing. As a college student with little time, a 45 minute workout is really helpful and allows me to go to the gym even when I’m super busy.

Love this location -- staff is incredible! Dante (studio manager) really goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and inclusive space. Classes are always very challenging (especially now with the daily finishers) but I never worry about potential injury as the team is quick to watch member form and correct us.

They charged me a $15 missed class fee on a trial. I notified them 24 hours in advance that I could not make the class (their policy is 8 hours in advance, otherwise you are charged the fee). I have been texting back and forth with the F45 Cambridge for over a month trying to get my refund. They continuously tell me that "their team" will reach out to me to issue the refund, but nothing yet. Pretty disappointed in the quality of customer service.

I’ve tried a lot of gyms and studios in the area in an effort to find one that clicks and keeps my workout routine consistent, but I’m so happy I recently found F45 in Harvard Sq. Luca, Sonia and the team welcomed me in right away and I’ve hit the ground running with my workouts there. I love how efficient the class structure is and being surrounded by a motivated, enthusiastic community at the gym makes a huge difference. I always leave feeling really glad that I made the time to go. Highly recommend!!

If you are looking for a good burn look no further. The circuit based workout allows you to set your own pace, challenge yourself, and have fun while doing it. I’d recommend it for people with at least some level of understanding of basic movement patterns (squats, launges, etc.) as it will be harder to learn the basics in this high intensity environment.

I love F45! I work in the square and joined last month because I needed a place I could get to easily during lunch or right after work, and wanted something different than the many yoga and barre places around. F45 has been amazing! The coaches are wonderful and fun, and the class participants are very friendly. I love the bootcamp/personal training vibe in the group class setting. They also have two bathrooms you can change in and a shower. Perfect for workday workouts!

F45 as a paradigm combines many of the best aspects of the fitness industry into a continent and highly efficient package. By focusing on HIIT training with clear demonstrations of movements available at all times, F45 offers its clients aerobic and anaerobic all week in a way that caters to busy professionals who want to become fitter and improve their body composition. In 45 minutes, I personally burn on average 500 calories a workout and as such, I have never found a fitness program that allows me to eat what I want and stay in great shape with such a low time commitment. This particular location is well-maintained by an excellent staff and as of November 2023 is run by the talented and charismatic Luca. Luca not only offers top-notch biomechanical expertise to her clients but works tirelessly to make them everyone happy and manage her staff. I cannot recommend F45 highly enough!

I started at F45 Brattle Street this summer and have absolutely loved it. Not only do I love the variety of workouts and the way I feel after each session, but it’s also extremely evident how tight the community is.
All of the coaches make an effort to know everybody by name and it goes a long way. Coach Luca, the studio manager, is especially attentive to everyone. She works around-the-clock to build this community and goes miles out of her way to figure out what works best for each person individually. As soon as you enter the gym, Coach Luca’s impact is evident through the infectious laughs, smiles, confidence, and cameraderie that radiates throughout the room- and I super appreciate that.
Looking forward to continuing to push myself with the Brattle Street team!

Best place to workout in Cambridge. You can be in and out in 45 minutes, so effective & efficient. Every day they have a different programming (technically you can go every day, but it's pretty intense! Pace yourself). The community is great. Btw, they now have NEW management, and don't worry about cancellations fees, etc, just talk to Luca, she'll sort out everything. She is absolutely customer friendly & helpful. The coaches are all friendly too! Just come over and try it out.

Every session I have received feedback on my form for every exercise and been motivated to up the challenge level when the coaches think I can.

I joined this gym when it had its soft opening last winter. Initially, I hadn’t planned on committing to a membership because I had too many other ongoing activities already, but I ended up changing my mind after attending a few classes. I signed up shortly after and haven’t looked back!
The trainers here are awesome and do a great job of correcting your form. They’re also super encouraging and will hand you a heavier weight if they think you can handle it. I love how I can show up in the mornings (either 6:15 or 7:15 if I’ve had a late night) and have a routine already pre-programmed for me instead of spending time pondering what to do at the gym.
What keeps me coming back to the gym is the community. No matter where you are in your fitness journey, everyone is supportive and friendly. There are also monthly gym socials and quarterly challenges that help you get to know the members outside of the gym too.

Be careful of no show and late cancel fee($15 per each). When you register for membership, you may not be able to hear the verbal explanation, and if you don't read the full policy paper carefully, as many as nine fees can be charged.

I just moved to Cambridge from California and before moving I was nervous about finding a community here that I felt a part of. I have found that and so much more at the Brattle Street F45. Not only are the trainers amazing coaches, but they are so much more than that. They emphasize the importance of inclusion and prioritize fun every single class! Immediately I felt welcomed into the team environment they have created and every morning I look forward to the sweaty smiles I will see at the gym!
I have now been at the gym under the management of two different trainers and both are amazing. Philip makes everyone laugh and encourages us to push our limits and Luca has unparalleled energy that is contagious and brings a new level of enthusiasm to the gym. I am so grateful for this gym and cannot recommend it enough!
Come for a great workout and leave with an even great sense of community!

Fantastic workout, studio, and coaches!

The coaches at Brattle St especially have a great attitude and make me excited to keep coming back - always going above and beyond to be helpful, welcoming, and encouraging!
Also, regarding cancellation policies/communications, I have had a wholly positive experience (needed to cancel due to a move). The policy is clear and is no more restrictive/intensive than any other studio/gym. Also super easy to get in contact with management via text regarding cancellation requests or any other questions.

I started coming to F45 because the training style suited my training preferences: it’s highly functional training with strength and cardio days so that i could customize my workout plan based on my goals, it takes the mental work of planning workouts away, and there’s enough variety with both the exercises and the workout structure to keep me from getting bored, which was my biggest challenge with self-guided workouts. The trainers are also all incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and the structure of having a class kept me on a routine. Highly recommend depending on your fitness preferences!

I joined F45 Brattle St last December, after a few years of being sedentary and completely out of shape. F45 has been the most welcoming gym I have ever been part of, and it truly is life changing. It doesn't matter how fit you are or the weights you pick - what is truly celebrated is you putting your max effort every single time. The vibe is super fun and you make friends along the way. Trainers are careful to correct your form and will also challenge you when they see you can give more. Other members will equally push you and celebrate you as you progress (and progress is constant if you keep showing up). I highly recommend to everyone regardless of age or fitness level.

I've been going to F45 Brattle Street since opening day, and it's been amazing. Huge variety for all levels of ability. The community is great, the facility is great, and the coaches are THE BEST. As soon as you walk in, you'll feel the positive energy and encouragement from the amazing staff. They are supportive, Educated, and always willing to answer questions and teach the best technique and modifications. These coaches are constantly correcting your form, careful to help you modify, and always pushing you to do your best. They make these workouts as fun as possible, and you will never leave regretting you came. They also keep the place clean and tidy, so if that's a concern for you, I recommend doing a starter package and trying it out!
Update – several reviews about late fees and cancellation policy. These policies are crystal clear when you sign up and throughout your membership. My family is relocating out of the area and the Studio Manager went out of his way to ensure we submitted the forms on-time to cancel our memberships. Be a grown-up and take responsibility for your class signups and memberships and you wont have an issue.
Also on the workouts themselves… I’ve done F45 for a couple years and there are no complex movements (and 100% never seen anything near a clean and jerk or heavy overhead squats…its almost laughable that was mentioned). Trainers are great, but human. If you are new ask for help. If you don’t understand ask for clarification… The team is great. Again I’d highly recommend the studio looking to get started in fitness or improve your current fitness levels to achieve new goals!

I joined F45 Brattle Street back in January. After being a competitive athlete throughout high school I became sedentary in college and started getting out of shape. I was looking for something that was going to keep me accountable and give me a fresh start. Generally, trying new things and going to unknown places stresses me out tremendously, but I must say calling f45 and sighing up for a 7 day trial was one of the best decisions I made. I showed up on my first day and I was struggling. I kept showing up every day, eventually I started doing two classes a day, sometimes even three. This place hasn’t only completely changed how I view fitness, but it has also made me find the way back to my old self. The changes I started noticing after just a few months were insane - I would say I am maybe even in a better shape now than I was back in the day when I was competing for the national skiing team. This all would not have been possible without great coaches and community. Special thanks to coaches Philip and Carissa who are always there to hand me heavier weights when they see me slacking off on a strength day - also to my lion heart buddies who push me into the purple zone.

The quality of the trainers here was truly upsetting. No one could properly demonstrate any of of the movements, nor could they safely lead participants through exercises. Going to this gym is a recipe for injury, and for those they are targeting - without a background in weightlifting- outright dangerous. Beyond this, they have made it excruciatingly difficult to cancel your membership, as well as constantly leaving voicemails and texting with “offers.” I would not recommend this gym.

Do not go here! Worst F45 studio I’ve ever been to. Staff aren’t trained, no coaching or technique corrections, leading to high risk of injuries. And if you try to cancel they refuse to honour the 30day notice period.

BE WARNED:
I never write reviews but I am just so utterly frustrated and stressed.Trying to cancel a membership here is a complete nightmare. I have been trying to do so since November and each time have been told that I haven't done it in good time, signed the right form, and giving 30 days notice means you will still be charged within that 30 days. I have sent *so* many emails, spent so much time on the phone and thought I could not be clearer but they just keep taking my money out of my account every month and telling me i have missed some detail. It is a complete saga.
The classes have improved since opening but it just isn't worth the money and the stress.

I have had the most infuriating experience with F45, and would not recommend it even to my greatest enemy. My two main issues are: 1) the quality of the trainers & workouts, and 2) their cancellation policy and charges. I signed up for a two-week trial with a friend, to try out the workouts. The trial had a pretty aggressive cancellation policy, that you had to cancel it plenty in advance of the ending of the trial, otherwise you would be charged for the first month of the full membership (which is quite expensive, at $179 for the 'foundation membership').
First, the quality of the workouts and instructors. I am a certified group fitness instructor, so I am very comfortable around weights, and in a group fitness environment. The workouts move very quickly, which means that you often don't work very long in any single movement. This means it can sometimes feel like you're 'getting a sweat on', or elevating your heartrate, but it is at the expense of good form. I was really disappointed to see that some of the movements F45 programs are quite complex - things like a heavy clean and jerk, or squat with overhead weight. These are things that require time to teach the form on, and quality coaching, and F45 takes literally 15 seconds to teach a movement. I was cringing, seeing what some people in the class were doing trying to do these more complex movements, and the coaches did not correct anyone, instead sometimes just pushing people to add more weight, when they were doing something that could easily injure themselves. The coaches seem to be trained quickly, and just there for (poor) motivation, but lacked the skills to be effective trainers teaching good form.
Second, the cancelation policy. BEWARE. Their policy is one of the most aggressive and egregious I've ever seen. In order to cancel, you need to fill out a formal form. Then, once you cancel IT HAS A 28 DAY BILLING CYCLE, meaning that after you cancel, you will STILL BE CHARGED ANOTHER MONTH. So, I tried to cancel immediately, and ended up being charged for two full months, never having used the services because I've been away from Cambridge over my break as a student. I have been in communication with the management, and they are unwilling to budge.
You can find much better workouts at a much better price point. Stay away.

The classes are a great workout and the team motivation pushes you to challenge yourself. I can never get as good of a workout on my own as I do with these classes! The facility is good and scheduling is pretty open, but sometimes the rules around membership are not entirely clear.

F45 Brattle Street helped me get into great shape. From a traditional Hollywood class to a one off holiday class that might not be seen again these workouts sure to get the body working. The team at Brattle street is absolutely amazing and is always there to help with form and give the extra push in those last 10 seconds of an exercise. Highly recommend this F45 studio
