### 3/5 — No ApplePay

*2026-08-31, version 4.2.9*

The app works well enough, but it doesn’t support ApplePay. If you’re paying per class or buying a pack of 10 classes, you have to reenter your credit card info every time. It feels a bit backwards considering how standard ApplePay is.

### 3/5 — Lionheart needs an overhaul

*2026-08-18*

Some issues that would be helpful if fixed; you cant export your complete lionheart data only singular session data. And Lionheart only pulls from apple health but doesnt write back to it. For the dev’s who run this app its an easy fix and would greatly improve its functionality overall.

### 3/5 — Never tracks Lionheart accurately

*2026-08-06*

Have to constantly remind of previous workouts.

### 2/5 — Not a friendly app

*2026-05-11, version 4.1.9*

Not easy to use. Very basic app which needs improvement. Such excellent gym needs a better app

### 4/5 — Now requires FULL calendar access?

*2026-02-21*

App interface is clean and user friendly. Not of fan of it requiring full calendar access to write an event. Makes no sense. Please fix.

### 2/5 — Please bring back limited calendar permissions

*2026-01-18, version 4.1.0*

The app used to add classes to my calendar with limited access. Now it requires full calendar access, which feels unnecessary and invasive for a basic feature. This is a step backward for privacy and user trust. Please bring back limited calendar permissions.

### 3/5 — Overall works for booking but needs improvement

*2026-01-02*

It does the basic job of booking workouts.  Allows you to find other gyms based on your location.  

Few reasons I gave a 3/5 :

-1 star because of needing full calendar access to add a booked workout.   In an era of privacy importance, you just need to”add to calendar “ permission.  App used to work with this permission, but an update changed this. 

-1 for lack of filtering with the recipe functionality.  Want ways to filter by meat choices etc. I’m lactose intolerant, and I wish I could filter for that.  I imagine filtering for allergies would be a huge improvement.

### 4/5 — Like app but did something change?

*2025-12-02*

Have liked using this app to book workouts and manage sessions. I was enjoying the Lionheart feature but it has stopped syncing with my Apple Watch/health data. Did something recently change in the app? Would love this integration to come back.

### 4/5 — Great but calendar

*2025-11-28*

I love F45. I get the annual pass with my local studio. The app is fast and lets me book classes and access previous classes data. The one terrible thing is that adding classes to your calendar, a handy feature, requires access to your whole calendar. It doesn’t work if you set the permission to “add events only”. That’s a regression from before when it worked fine.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-11-15*

The app is very user-friendly, crash-free and fast. But I’m only giving it a four star because in the past it only needed limited access to add events to my calendar but now it wants full access! Why? I’m not giving that permission.

### 2/5 — Cambio de idioma

*2025-10-22, version 4.0.7*

Por favor podéis poner el cambio de idioma? Es raro que en una app no puedas cambiar el idioma que mejor te vaya y por defecto solo sea inglés. No es nada intuitivo

### 4/5 — Keeps Crashing in Recipe section

*2025-10-19*

Hi app is great but just to let you know app keeps crashing in Recipe section. Recreated multiple times. To recreate:
Select Eat>> Recipes >> Filter>> Select ‘Dinner’ (‘Mainstream already selected)>> tap “View 605 Results”>> try scrolling to very bottom; if you go fast or even slow/medium the app crashes. To get to the bottom successfully you have to go really really super slow, and even then sometimes crashes.  iPhone 15Pro, iOS 18.7.1, has happened on the last 3 versions of app including current version. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Too much data needed

*2025-10-11, version 4.0.7*

Doesn’t work with “add only” calendar access and demands full access 

Crashes a lot

### 3/5 — Buggy app

*2025-09-02*

The app works well for booking, but when I multitask between the F45 app and others (calendar, email, etc) the app freezes when on the scheduling/booking page. I have to force close and restart the app in order to use it again. It happens every time while booking and switching in between applications. Other than that, the app works okay for booking, canceling, basic class items.

### 2/5 — Buggy and behind the curve

*2025-05-06, version 3.2.63*

If I launch the app and then reopen the app, it’s completely refrozen. I have to kill it and relaunch after every use. Re-installing doesn’t fix it. 

It’s the only app on my phone that doesn’t support Dark Mode. Don’t open the app in the dark unless you want to be blinded.

### 2/5 — Won’t connect & broadcast to tv anymore

*2025-05-04*

I usually connect to my tv and broadcast in my basement gym so I can see and hear the workout. Watching on my phone is too small.  After update it no longer connects.  No it’s not my phone, everything else still works when connected to tv except f45.   Please fix this

### 1/5 — Can’t even book a session

*2026-08-24, version 4.2.8*

I don’t know much about this app because the connection with Mind Body means I can’t even book a session via the F45 app.

The advice online about how to fix this problem is endless but doesn’t seem to cover whatever problem I’m having.

Either fix the problems for good or get rid of Mind Body and build your own payments system. It shouldn’t be this difficult.

### 1/5 — Lionheart won’t sync from iPhone

*2026-06-16*

Syncs when wants to, misses lotsa workouts, sending a report doesn’t do anything. YOUR OLD APP WAS BETTER.

### 1/5 — The lionheart functionality is buggy

*2026-02-05*

Contacted support, provided technical detail, after a month or so, same buggy app.

### 1/5 — Payment Info

*2025-12-20*

I love F45, and I typically do drop in classes just for personal preference. But with the new app interface, it makes me put in my credit card information every single time I want to book a class. It doesn’t save my credit card information and let me book easily with a few clicks. This is incredibly frustrating, as I like to book right before the class. Please fix this! I would be so appreciative!

### 1/5 — Lionheart sync with Apple Health doesnt work

*2025-12-01, version 4.0.10*

Only worked for the first HIIT class. Since then has not worked for any workouts (despite following the instructions)

### 1/5 — App won’t allow login since most recent update

*2025-06-12, version 3.2.68*

Nobody can log into the app at all to book classes since the update yesterday.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-05-14, version 3.2.64*

Passport feature doesn’t work at all for me. The passport UI never shows up when I selected another gym. I have an unlimited membership

### 1/5 — Update broken

*2025-05-13, version 3.2.64*

Can not download the update which does not allow me to use Lionheart.

### 1/5 — Studio Great App LACKING

*2025-01-03*

Although I am happy with the studio I am hopeful that corporate will consider important improvements for this app in a few key ways:

1. Work with knowledgeable physical therapists and established sports physicians to create in app stretching routines to maintain peak performance. There is not enough proper stretching after class which can create long term health problems and injuries. Including multiple 10-15 min stretch routines for lower body, upper body and full body options would be a tremendous improvement for the program (not bouncing stretches but rather held positions for deep muscle release).

2. Overall there is not enough focused AB work consistently in the program. It would be ideal to improve core strength by including core routines in the app at various levels (with higher level options for members with lower back issues who can’t do sit ups such as: dead bugs, plank variations, pilates hundreds or v-holds, etc) this would help prevent members from having lower back strain in classes by improving core strength as a priority within mobility and motility objectives. Every movement should start with a braced core. 

3. It would be helpful to know what muscle group is targeted in each exercise for us to know if we are actually doing the movement correctly at home. If I knew where I should be feeling the burn I could make my own minor corrections in form until I hit the mark. 

4. There is no history of class attendance tracking in app to help build an awareness of consistency and improvement. I would like to be able to see and observe my class attendance history (in app and in studio).

Overall the Peloton app does a much better job of all of these things. I suggest F45 Corporate and its App developers take a look at the Peloton App in terms of functionality and content to consider how the F45 program and app could be improved. There does not need to be the breadth of routines as on Peloton to be comprehensive for F45 in terms of hitting all of the needs but instead just the basic coverage of targeted AB routines (oblique, central, deep) and stretching (hitting all of lower body in one or two routines and upper body/ total body in another few 10-15 min routines - with long holds for muscle release rather than bouncing).

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2024-12-30*

App never picks up my subscription and does not allow me to book classes. Very annoying and the team at the local gym have no idea what’s going on. Tried resetting and updating, still no results. Thinking of going to another gym it’s that bad!

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-07-24*

F45 has truly been the best thing that’s happened to me so far. It has made me stronger, healthier, and more confident—not just physically, but mentally too. Every workout challenges me, every coach motivates me, and every class reminds me how far I’ve come. So grateful to be part of this amazing community. ❤️💪🔥

### 5/5 — Great studio. Great tech

*2025-11-25*

Enjoy this studio and the fitness workout. Just transitioned from OTF and I like how there is constant movement. The app and rewards program is awesome. 

I do wish there was a way to provide feedback back to corporate on  the studio. App. Workouts

### 5/5 — At home enhancement request

*2025-09-08*

I really like the at home workouts for the times I can’t go to studio. I only wish that they’d create an enhancement to it. Each individual exercise already exists in the app. It would be great if they allow you to self select 9 of the individual exercises to create your own customized workout which could also be bookmarked for future use.

### 5/5 — puspa

*2025-09-07*

Firstly, very friendly staffs , training is life changing. i feel very positive every thing.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2025-08-19*

I absolutely love the F45 Training app! It truly has everything you need as a member to support your fitness and wellness journey. I love that it provides education about the workouts, making it easy to understand and maximize each session. Booking classes and even passport workouts is so simple and convenient right through the app. Beyond scheduling, the app includes valuable resources on nutrition and everything F45 has to offer, which really helps me stay on track with my lifestyle goals. I also love being able to see my Lionheart and performance results right in the app and track my progress over time. All of these features work seamlessly together to help me manage my wellness, fitness, and overall lifestyle in one place. F45 thought of everything with this app and I could not imagine my journey without it!

### 5/5 — Lifestyle

*2025-05-16, version 3.2.64*

Love the fact that I can just show up and not think about what I need to do. The trainers are amazing. The challenges help me create new healthy habits and have an accountability par.

### 5/5 — The best thing happened to me
