    My wife and I are from out of state and were visiting family for the holidays in December of 2022. When we saw there was a local F45 we went and asked about drop in classes or a class package. We explained to the instructor we were from out of state but attended F45 classes at home and would like to continue our workouts while we were visiting. The instructor recommended a 10 class package which was around $300 - never did they tell us that it would expire if we did not use all of the passes. Well we only used about half of our passes. We noticed in the F45 app that the package said it expired. We'll be back in town visiting again in May/June, so we emailed asking about the expiration date. The response we got was rude and defensive, saying that we were clearly instructed the classes expired (we were not, and why would we assume they would? We figured it was like a gift care, no expiration date). On top of that, the owner then told us that we were silly for even buying a pass, as they offer a 20% discount to members of sister gyms (which would include us). By that logic, it would have been cheaper to just do drop in sessions, rather than buy a pass, and we would have not had to worry about expiration dates. I have no idea how the owner couldn't connect the dots there; obviously if our options were clearly explained to us, as they insinuated, we would have gone with the drop in sessions at a discount. The fact that we bought a pass in the first place when drop ins would have been cheaper should have been a clear indicator that there was a lack of communication to us. We honestly did not expect them to honor all of the remaining "expired" passes, but were hoping for at least some kind of goodwill gesture. What we did not expect was a rude email and accusatory email from the owner. This was such a put off that we have no interest in returning to this gym. Keep in mind this is also a studio who, when we were attending in December of 2022, more than half of their TVs (critical to the workout, as it shows what each station should be doing as well as keeps time) were broken with either dead pixels, lines down the screen, or hues were totally off (some of the screens were permanently tinted blue?). For the money they charge to go here, you would expect white glove service, but instead it's dark and dingy with no natural light. Additionally the attitude of the owner is completely unacceptable. There are plenty of other fitness options in the area, and if you value a good experience, I would recommend that you look elsewhere.

    Best group workout experience! I've tried the outdoor lessons and not only did I have fun but I started seeing results within my first 2 weeks. I shed body fat and saw improvement in my muscle tone. This was thanks to the well thought out workouts. I love how well cardio and resistance training is mixed. Also, the instructors are great, they are fun and friendly. They kept me accountable and made sure my form was good. Moving to the city otherwise I'll continue attending the workouts. If I'm ever back around the Belmont area, I would not think twice to join the gym once again.

    Ami, and Aimee, always great pair together. Always these two coach have amazing energy and others are all great instructors! Amazing vibes in the gym great community everyone seem very friendly. I would recommend everyone of my friends to join this gym. The coaches manage to keep the intensity high throughout the whole session and help correct form whenever required! I have been there only three weeks now I can see the transition of my body feeling great!! Their workouts are killer it but it feel awesome after.

    Great people at F45 San Mateo! The coaches - Ami, Aimee, Leslie and Dave bring it every class. Ami the owner cares about everyone and delivers on the promise of quality training!

    I love the vibe in F45. Coaches are super patient and helpful. Happy to find this community keep pushing me build my muscles.

    I've been coming to F45 for two incredible years, completing my 350th class recently, and I felt it was high time I shared my love for this gym. Before joining F45, I tried nearly every workout and fitness class imaginable, from Barry's Bootcamp to triathlons, yoga, pilates, barre, and more. However, nothing quite compares to F45. Why F45 Stands Out: Innovative and Exciting Workouts: F45's workouts are super fun! Every session is uniquely challenging, ensuring that monotony never sets in. The variety keeps me engaged, motivated, and always looking forward to the next class. Achieving My Ideal Body: F45 has helped to sculpt my body into its strongest and leanest form. The results speak volumes about the effectiveness of the classes. It's not just about physical appearance; it's about building strength, fitness, and confidence. Exceptional Community and Supportive Coaches: The heart of F45 lies in its incredible team. The coaches are more than instructors; they are mentors who push you to unlock your full potential. Special shout out to coach Ami, the owner, whose unwavering dedication is truly inspiring. She fosters a sense of belonging, making sure everyone feels valued and supported. F45: More Than a Gym, It's Family: What sets F45 apart is its sense of family. The camaraderie among members creates a supportive and uplifting environment. While I got a great workout at Barry's, it was missing the sense of community you get with F45. Whether you're looking to get stronger, lose weight, or just adopt a healthier lifestyle, F45 is the the place for you. You'll gain that and so much more!

    I have loved every class I’ve taken at F45 so far. I feel motivated and empowered after each workout and this is the first workout I’m genuinely excited about. I’ve taken classes with both Leslie and Ami, who are thoughtful coaches and push me to be better. I highly recommend F45!

    Great workout and great community! The instructors are energetic, fun and very helpful. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Africa L. 11 months ago on Google
    I love this place! They are welcoming and diverse! They have excellent coaches who are always making sure you get the best out of you on your own level. The exercises are always different, so you will never get boarded!

  • 5/5 Sher A. 1 year ago on Google
    The instructors and the owner/instructor are highly skilled and motivating. I get pushed to my mental and physical limits every workout. It’s the most efficient, complete, and fun workout I have ever done. The weeks are divided by strength, cardio, and hybrid days, so you’re not doing the same thing day after day. I started off attending strength days as a suggestion from my doctor to build muscle mass. I’m definitely stronger, the increase in weights is my reminder that I am stronger. The trainers correct my form, which I’m so grateful for because I don’t want to hurt myself. And, on Saturdays, they get a DJ. Bonus fun. Truly the best use of my time and energy.

    Visiting from another F45 studio in Vancouver... Just wanted to say thanks to Ami for a great workout and the wonderful hospitality at her F45 San Mateo studio. Ami's ecstatic energy was definitely motivating. From registration to entry, and warm-up to workout, everything was handled perfectly. I'm so glad I made the half hour trip to this studio.  Looking forward to this weeks' workout while I'm here...

    Great energy, great environment and awesome work outs. They really pay attention to the whole group making sure everyone is pushing themselves. Ami is amazing and so is the rest of the team!

  • 5/5 Mahina B. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve had a great experience here. The work outs are always different and intense, just what I needed. Everyone has been very friendly and helpful. Ami is running a great place.

  • 5/5 Mally M. 1 year ago on Google
    Welcoming community, GREAT workout in 45 minutes, and the owner Ami is personable. The coaches are a great support, and make sure you are doing the exercises correctly.

  • 5/5 Carmela A. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend and I were visiting the area and took a drop-in class. Ami was incredibly communicative and made signing up easy beforehand. The coaches brought great energy and are incredibly knowledgeable as well. Judging by the number of people attending class and smiling faces, you can tell they care for their members and have an awesome community.

  • 5/5 Maria V. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent place for a work out. They will work out muscle groups that you didn’t know you had. MWF is aerobics - exercises range from squats to suicides to taking a sandbag ball and throwing it over your shoulder. Tuesday and Thursday are weights. They have a deal where if you live within 10 miles of their address you can get three consecutive classes for $25. Today was my fourth class and I can already feel more taut and strong. Some of the people have been there from 4-5 years and they are cut!

    It’s been an incredible experience with F45 workouts. Always challenging, different and fun. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and caring. Definitely a sense of community and support there.

  • 5/5 Jules B. 1 year ago on Google
    San Mateo F45 is one of the best F45s I’ve attended. The trainers are top-notch and members are very friendly. Every fitness level is welcomed. Stoked to be a part of this F45 community!

  • 5/5 Rex S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good hardcore workout and very fun Coach Ami, Leslie and Dave are really cool people. Highly recommended if you want some good cardio and these guys are true professional trainers and coaches. After 20 classes I feel a lot better and a lot more energized

  • 5/5 Didi 2 years ago on Google
    F45 is an amazing, and dynamic community. I have worked out for many years in traditional gyms. My experience here, and my journey has been awesome. I have achieved weight loss results and better overall health since joining F45. The coaches are friendly, helpful, supportive, and hands on to make sure you're getting the most out of your work outs.

  • 5/5 Brion O. 3 years ago on Google
    I love F45. The mix of cardio and strength classes provide a good variety. I do a few other outdoor classes these days and F45 San Mateo is the best

  • 5/5 Amanda A. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing workout with an awesome group of local athletes of all ages! I was most impressed by Ami as she knew my name after the first class and continues to help my form. Ami pushes everyone to get the best out of every workout. I am most amazed by the community within the students, this is more than just a weekly workout. Worth every penny!

  • 5/5 Jennifer H. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this gym and their positive vibe! Ami and the coaches are very professional, nice and have lot of energy! They make it safe for us to exercise outdoor and very creative with the classes, really grateful about this and thank you!

  • 5/5 Oren W. 3 years ago on Google
    My wife convinced me to start exercising here over the last holidays. I'm glad she did! The trainers here have put a lot of thought into the programs. They are just the right mix of encouraging and challenging. The space is great during the pandemic leaving me feeling safe with not a lot of overhead for cleaning or minding space. The work's been done for me! Great community here too.

  • 4/5 Tiffany A. 3 years ago on Google
    Really have enjoyed going to San Mateo F45 over the last couple of months. It’s great to be in a workout community again after so long. The workouts range in difficulty, but the Hybrid days are my favorite for a good full body workout. I feel safe, and socially distant from others during my workout.

  • 5/5 Julie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Life changing is exactly what F45 San Mateo has been for me. I started my journey almost 4 years ago & I’m in the best shape of my life. The workouts are never the same & all the coaches are amazing. They’re there to help motivate & challenge you. I’ve also met a great group of friends & I cherish the community we’ve built. The last 18 months has been the most challenging, but Ami really pushed through & I appreciate her commitment to the studio & members. ❤️ thank you for all you do!
