Starting something new can feel a little intimidating, especially when it comes to fitness. But at F45 Downtown Los Angeles, we make it easy and welcoming for beginners to jump into our dynamic workouts. If you’re curious about joining F45 and wondering what your first day will look like, we’ve got you covered with this step-by-step guide.

Arriving at the Studio

When you arrive at F45 Downtown Los Angeles, you’ll be greeted by our friendly staff and coaches. If it’s your first visit, arrive 10–15 minutes early to check in, fill out any necessary paperwork, and get a quick tour of the studio.

Your coach will introduce themselves and explain how the class works, so you’ll feel prepared and ready to dive in.

Warm-Up: Getting Ready to Move

Each F45 class begins with a structured warm-up designed to get your heart rate up and your body ready for action. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with the movements—our trainers will demonstrate each one and provide tips for proper form.

Workout Format: Fun and Fast-Paced

The “F” in F45 stands for functional training, and the “45” means every class is just 45 minutes. During the session, you’ll move through a series of workout stations, focusing on cardio, strength, or a mix of both, depending on the day.

Each station includes beginner-friendly modifications, so you can work at your own pace while still challenging yourself. Your coach will be there to guide you, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported.

Music and Motivation

One thing you’ll notice immediately is the energy in the room. With upbeat music pumping and teammates cheering each other on, F45 classes feel more like a group celebration than a workout. It’s a positive, motivating atmosphere where everyone works together to reach their goals.

Cool-Down and Recovery

After an intense workout, we end every class with a guided cool-down session. This helps reduce soreness, improve flexibility, and give your body the chance to recover.

Your coach will also check in with you after class to answer any questions and provide tips for managing post-workout recovery—especially if you’re just starting out.

What to Bring

To ensure a smooth first day, here’s what you’ll need:

• Comfortable workout clothes and supportive shoes.
• A water bottle to stay hydrated.
• A small towel, as you’re likely to work up a sweat!
