Group Fitness Pass: Join any Group Fitness class on the schedule, including strength, spin, yoga, Zumba, and more. It’s a flexible way to stay active and try a variety of formats in a welcoming, high-energy environment.
F45 Pass: Get unlimited access to F45 Training. Every workout is different, and every class brings energy and community. The F45 Pass is double the exercise options with full access to every class included in the Group Fitness Pass.

FAQ
Why did RecWell move from Free Group Fitness to a paid pass?
Previously, only a small number of students paid higher fees for premium classes while group fitness was free. By introducing an affordable pass that spreads costs across more participants, we can cover instructor expenses and offer more class formats at a much lower individual price.
What does the Fitness Pass include?
The pass gives you unlimited access to all Group Fitness classes (like yoga, Pro-Cycle, Zumba, and Mat-Based Pilates) that were previously under the Premium Fitness format in addition to all of the classes you came to love (like Bollywood, Spin 45, and Boxing Conditioning). It’s your all-access key to a wide variety of workouts each week.
What’s happening to Premium Classes?
Some skill-based formats (such as Pilates Reformer, dance, and Ju-Jutsu) will remain as separately registered programs, since these require progressive, week-to-week instruction.
What’s the difference between the Group Fitness Pass and the F45 Pass?
The Group Fitness Pass provides unlimited access to all Group Fitness classes.
The F45 Pass includes everything in the Group Fitness Pass plus unlimited access to all F45 Training classes — up to 50 team-based workouts per week. We haven’t increased the fee for F45 Training since we first opened the studio in 2022, so the F45 Pass fee increased minimally this year and we included all of the Group Fitness classes into the F45 Pass so our members could enjoy all group classes in one pass.
When does the new structure start?
Fall 2025 semester.
Can I try it out before I buy?
Yes! Try-It Free Week (Aug 25–30) gives you the chance to sample F45 Training, Group Fitness, and climbing rentals at no cost. Plus, if you purchase your semester pass before Aug 31, you’ll receive an early-bird discount.
How does this pass benefit me?
- More formats and time slots added to the schedule
- Lower cost compared to the old Premium Fitness structure
- A stronger, more sustainable program that ensures group fitness continues to grow
