I just spent a month trying different gyms in search of a home base. I tried Burn Boot Camp, CrossFit, and F45. I was looking to switch from personal training I had been doing to group fitness. F45 was the most aligned to the workouts I did in personal training but done in a very organized & fun way. Unique to F45 are TVs on the wall that show someone demonstrating the exercises throughout the class– that is a gamechanger. That was the biggest struggle I had elsewhere– not know what I was supposed to be doing mid-way because everything was verbally explained in the beginning and you had to just remember somehow. F45 eliminates that problem so I can stay focused and get the workout in as-intended.
As for this specific F45 location (having tried 3 in the area)– I chose to join West Cary because of the vibe & energy. There is an overall feeling of encouragement along with friendly competition. You do really feel a team atmosphere– like you are being pushed to do your best but because people are rooting for you & also rooting for themselves/pushing themselves. There is currently a 6-week challenge and this location has a super motivating setup for the challenge that makes you want to participate & stay involved. The trainers are all very cool and knowledgeable without overwhelming. So far I’ve had workouts with Ben, Emily, Katie, Ashley, Matt, and John– all amazing and bring their own unique energy to the workout.
Highly recommend trying this one out!
