F45 Training San Mateo

We love announcing our MVPs & this one is particularly fun because it’s our first trio of MVPs - Vicky, Nicole & Genevieve!!There was NO way to recognize them separately because they are a squad of INCREDIBLE women, teachers, friends & athletes. The V not only stands for Valuable, but also Vaccinated (woop woop). Aside from getting these prestigious shirts, they get a free week and a spot on our wall of greatness. Here’s a little more about these beauties: GENEVIEVE: 1.... How long have you been a member? March of 2017--four years! 2. What’s your favorite workout? Hollywood--I love any hybrid workout. 3. What do you love best about F45? The list of things I love about F45 is too long to summarize, but here it goes: this gym and the community of coaches and members has been a major source of strength and inspiration for me over the years. The sense of camaraderie, the warmth, the laughter all make this place a true family. Ami's constant adapting to the demands of this insane year has been a real inspiration when I've found myself feeling stuck or overwhelmed by the changes the pandemic has brought to my life and work. Seriously--what she's pulled off is a miracle, and the F45 community wouldn't be what it is without her tireless devotion and love for what she does. 4. What’s something we don’t know about you? While I do love myself some burpees and deadlifts, I also have a passion for writing and have a poem coming out later in spring! NICOLE: 1. How long have you been a member? 4 years and 3 months! 2. What’s your favorite workout? Quarterbacks has always been a favorite (from the "in-studio" days) because that was my first workout ever and the offense and defense moves are super unique! But I do also love the 20 second Athletica. 3. What do you love best about F45? Both the community and the constant new-ness of each day are tied for what I love most. I love the coaches & my teammates so much, especially when I know I can consistently see so many familiar and fun faces to laugh with at 6:00am (or previously, 5am), & each day is always a surprise. There's always something sore (in a good/necessary way) because every workout is unique (see comments) See more

Our March Plank Challenge comes to an end. Hit my goal of 6 min. I plan on doing this time at least 3 days/week in April. Now for our April challenge...the weather is gorgeous so we want to encourage movement. Let’s get walking/running!!

Congratulations Arpitha on taking 100 classes with us. We are so proud of you. Keep up the great work!!

Happy Birthday to one of the funniest people I know.....Coach Ali!! We are so lucky to have such an amazing person coaching us. Mornings would NOT be as fun without you. Thank you for all you bring to our lives (& for bringing Ollie....ok, this is really about Ollie ;). Also wishing my very dear friend & founding member, Janet a very happy birthday. Having you in my life for 12 years has been nothing short of spectacular...you are more than a friend...you are now family (welcome to the dysfunction)Not to late to celebrate at the bar.

ZOE!! We love you!! Happy birthday you beautiful soul. We remember celebrating 21 just 5 years ago ;). You just get better and better with each passing year!! Speaking of better, my plank time is getting better. On track for 6 min. How’s your plank time improving? Stay focused, stay consistent!!

I am continually amazed by our members resilience & commitment to their health!! No fancy tents anymore, but that doesn’t stop our amazing crew! As we approach almost a year of quarantine, don’t give up the fight! Remember, you didn’t come this far, to only come this far. We are your biggest fan!! Keep up the great work. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICIA @aliciargregory . You are a wonderful young gal & I am grateful you & your mom are part of our community. The world is your oyster!! So glad we could have your party today!!

What a great Saturday!! Aside from getting charged by a homeless person, it was a great day because we got to celebrate these two beauties milestones.....1) Congrats to Jessica m for taking her 750th class with us. We adore you!!! 2) and a special shout out to Nanette for taking her 250th class with us. We cherish every class with you!!

This year is off to a great start! 1) we got to celebrate Sofia’s 21st birthday with her awesome friends. One of the reasons Covid has been tolerable is that these gals got to join us. 2) ring in @carlewis65 250th class. Her beautiful smile says it all & her sense of humor is SO good!! 3) watch @jaeltesta take her 100th class with us. She was another silver lining of Covid happening because it led her to our gym.

Nothing stops us for too long & just in time to celebrate Jessica’s birthday & Susan’s 100th class! It may not have been under fancy tents, but it was a kick but workout with kick butt people. That’s all we need anyway!! Happy birthday Jess & Congrats Susan!! Love you both!!

This day just keeps getting better. First a wonderful review about our studio, then we got to celebrate this beautiful gal’s birthday. Just when it couldn’t get better, we announce our amazing MVP for January, Rosa B-G. She is the PERFECT person to kick off a new year with. What’s crazy is that she has always been such an MVP to us that I assumed she had already been bestowed official title. So this is looong overdue... here’s more about Rosa: I have been with ...F45 San Mateo for 4 years since December of 2016. I actually started out earlier in the Spring and did a 2 week trial and I loved it, but I was training for back to back marathons so I didn’t have the time, but I knew that it was time for a change and F45 was going to be the thing that would change my fitness. My Favorite all time workout is T-10- going old school. I love the 50/50 split between weights and cardio. Close 2nd is Athletica. There are many things I love about the F45 San Mateo community. The workouts are challenging, the effective movements, and the fun environment, but I think the thing I love the most is the accountability the coaches and the classes provide. Once I’ve signed up for a class I am committed and I look forward to my workout. Most people don’t know that I was born in Nicaragua, I came to the states when I was 2 years old. English was technically my second language. Finally, we can’t wait to see how are fit family does in this next challenge. Let the games begin. Prizes for the top male & female transformers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Reflecting & Grateful for OLD FRIENDS , NEWER FRIENDS, FUTURE FRIENDS & PAST FRIENDS 1) To our old friends- Thank you for your continued love, loyalty & support!! 2) To our newer friends - Thank you for taking a leap of faith with us during these crazy times & enriching our incredible community. 3) To our future friends - We look forward to welcoming you into our fit family & help you get in the best shape of your life while having fun & making new friends. 4) To our friends that have left us - We miss you & will always welcome you back with open arms.

Never dread Mondays when you workout with us! 1. MEMBER MONDAY - SHIV PRAKASH. He’s been a member with us since Feb 2019.
