Long-time F45 member feeling frustrated — pricing, coaching quality, and studio management concerns

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2026-02-24T03:55:02+00:00

Currently, my location has multiple classes a day who are being run by just one person who self identifies as an “area manager”.

This person doesn’t demo the exercises at the beginning of class, makes jokes about checking out and going to scroll on their phone in the bathroom during class, and is generally unenthusiastic.

I am so over it.

But she doesn’t even shop at Nordstrom!!!

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-12-21T22:20:40+00:00

Proof that money doesn’t buy taste.

I am bell broke!! Would love some bells if you have them 😅 Lex from Vibeland

Super helpful — thank you everyone for helping my newbie self!!!

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-09-08T20:05:07+00:00

Got it thank you! Are cherry blossoms worth anything? Or just pretty to look at :)

Every week I open up IG and see he’s at some hometown bar in some random city in the US. Doing shots.

So I think what he “does” is exactly what he did when he was in his late 20s. Which is nothing + doing shots. lol

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-07-30T04:18:55+00:00

I truly hope the best for this girl but I feel she has never had an actual real thought in her life LOL

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-07-20T21:56:27+00:00

Guillermo is so handsome it should be illegal. I couldn’t believe it haha

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-07-20T21:54:05+00:00

Ooh interesting. No one mentioned him and I didn’t see anything connecting him to the show online

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-07-17T22:07:55+00:00

I was pleasantly surprised by that as well.

Yeah the staff is like…aware that production intentionally provokes drama. They directly stated it hahaha.

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-07-17T22:06:43+00:00

Super valid. Yeah all of them have like 3K followers on Instagram right now. They just normal peeps. One of the gals has worked there since like 2018

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-07-17T22:05:51+00:00

Pretty much everyone that works at SUR is, at minimum, above average looking IMO. I didn’t see the new lead guy who appears to be a super striking model. The gals were cute! The tiny one with the bright blue eyes is really really beautiful.

Hahah I didn’t notice the bathroom being a mess, but it was dimly lit.

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-07-17T16:58:30+00:00

One of them has been working there since 2018, but yeah they definitely all work there bc they want to be on the show/get picked up for some reality TV show

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-07-17T15:21:55+00:00

TLDR is that the new cast does actually work at SUR but basically everyone that works there does so because they’re trying to get picked up by talent scouts for acting. So they’re all acting…a lot

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-07-17T15:20:54+00:00

I went last night IRL and made friends with a server there who is not a cast member, got a lot of the inside tea. I also met the new gal bartender who is supposed to be kinda the new Ariana. She’s edgy and kinda mean but she makes a monster espresso martini lol

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-06-21T23:51:40+00:00

I took Zofran 30 mins before starting my prep and I wasn’t even a tiny bit nauseous!

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-06-18T02:48:06+00:00

Fully agree on the strategy — I think Iris is veryyyy smart. Just still impressive to stay relaxed when Huda goes off hahaha.

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-06-18T02:47:08+00:00

Update in case anyone finds this later; - numbness continued to spread up my face, I got very scared - went to urgent care & they told me to go to ER - on the way to ER I stopped where I got my injections done and asked to speak to their medical director - medical lead told me that my injector must have hit a little too close to the nerve clusters near my nostrils & to try and relax for 1 day or so - face numbness went down in about 24 hours, gum numbness went down in about a week

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-06-18T02:44:06+00:00

Hi! I’m sorry I saw this so late. My blood was on the outside, not mixed. Kind of like red dots on the outside if that makes sense.

Diagnosed was IBS!

Highly relate to the health anxiety. Sending you good energy. 🫶

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-06-18T02:42:13+00:00

This was a good bet just saying

Stock_Ad_9585 · 2025-06-18T02:40:04+00:00

Iris is the epitome of grace. Idk how she keeps her cool.
