There are only so many hours in a day and Formula3 Fitness was a concept built for people to check off all their fitness boxes in one workout. We all know we need strength, cardio, and stretching/mobility to have a well-rounded fitness regime. But most boutique fitness studios only offer one kind of workout leading to burnout, boredom, and injury.
Benji grew up in a family where sports was a religion and competition was a daily occurrence in his house. He has spent his whole life training others and himself to be a better athlete. Benji spent his 20's playing professional baseball and trying to live out his big league dreams. In his 30's he became a personal trainer and bodybuilder, still trying to scratch that competitive itch.

I love Formula3. I didn't think it was possible to lose weight, gain strengths and flexibility all at the same time. Benji, Tatiana, Lindsay, Sue are all great trainers. Their program adopts a well-rounded approach that pushes you to challenge yourself with ease.

I recently moved from Southern CA to Lafayette CA. In my search for a good nearby club I found Formula 3 - I used to be a member of Equinox in Southern CA. Formula 3 is by far the best gym I have been a member of. The staff is professional, helpful and fun. The programs and equipment are just about right. Formula 3 is one of the major reason for me to decide to remain in Lafayette as opposed to move to Berkeley as I had intended to eventually move to.

I joined Formula3 in April 2021, and I am HOOKED. If you are looking for variety and a challenge all under 1 roof, this is the place!
If you are unsure, they have a limited time promotion of virtual classes for only $20 a month, which is great if you don't want to pay a hefty commitment price initially like other places!
Yoga (Flow Power):
If you are looking for yoga where you focus on flexibility, strength, while still breaking a sweat then I’d definitely recommend the classes. All the instructors are very knowledgeable, and caring to all their students. Whenever I ask questions, I feel heard

Went for my first outdoor class today and was disappointed that the manager told the class they didn't have to wear a mask if they didn't want to. Folks were somewhat distanced, but the bank of elliptical were fairly close. With people huffing and puffing with no masks, it made me uncomfortable. Why take the chance? Keep your clients safe. Please reconsider Benji. I want to come back. Was excited about the class. I won't risk it. Low rating for no mask policy.

A welcoming gym offering a diverse set of challenging workouts. Every instructor is kind and informative, don't worry about unfamiliar exercises, they will guide you through and work with any pre-existing conditions. Well priced, as you are getting a gym and yoga-fusion classes under one roof. The facility is always very clean and offers shower facilities and grooming products. My time at Formula3 has been fantastic!

The innovative format for classes at Formula3 has kept me engaged and balanced. I am a cardio junkie often at the expense of the other disciplines. I love that even in a hard fire class I’m still getting in strength training and stretching! I’ve even found a new enjoyment for yoga thanks the the exposure during other class formats. Whatever your style - forge, fire or flow- Formula3 is your place!

This Studio is very Special! I love coming here. The staff is amazing! I absolutely love the classes and instructors...Benji, Shelly, Sue, Laura and Lindsay totally kick my booty! Mariah and Jori at front office are so sweet and helpful. I actually followed Benji here from Danville when he opened Formula 3! He's so awesome! Worth following!!!
As for the workout and most important for me (since I have injuries)...is that it's a very safe but also incredibly challenging! I get that huge cardio burn (intervals / HIIT work) that I'm looking for on elliptical during circuit (also

I just took the Flow class with Sarah and it was awesome. I'm a Core Power Yoga Sculpt regular, so I was nervous to try something new. The class is a bit slower, but the challenge is still there. It's a nice mix of flow and core moves without the high heat and packed tight room. I will definitely be coming back!

I tried Formula3 Fitness a few weeks ago and can’t say enough about how much I loved it! First of all, the studio is conveniently located in Lafayette and easy to find. Also, from the moment I walked in the doors, I was impressed by the cleanliness and friendliness of staff and trainers. The class I tried was Forge which was focused on strength training with a small portion of cardio. What I first noticed was the state of the art equipment that was set up very well in the space for the interval training style of the class. Next, I appreciated the approach from the trainer who showed the moves

So glad I found this place!! I live in Martinez but frequently spend time in Walnut Creek and Lafayette. I've tried cycling classes and Orange Theory but when I found Formula3 on Google, I thought I'd give it a try. LOVE LOVE LOVE the FLOW class which is sort of like yoga but even better! Can't wait to kick 2020's rear end!

I live in the area and drive past this fitness studio daily. Have been meaning to check it out, and finally popped in this last weekend to start my one-week free trial. So far? 3 days, 3 classes, 3 different instructors - 5 stars!
Pros:
- Solid sweat & workout: Have taken 2 Fire (cardio) and 1 Forge (strength) class. All incorporated rower/strider as well as weights/TRX. You push yourself as hard as you like, and the music and coach give you the boost/support you need. I have felt that the weights/strength component of my other fitness studio is lacking and focuses more on cardio. Even the

My friends and I took a Forge (strength) class here and had a fantastic workout! The space was super clean and nice. Our coach, Benji, was great - he explained all the moves clearly, corrected our form when needed, and provided good energy and motivation.
Our specific workout utilized the rowers (super nice machines!), medicine balls, mats and our body weight, but each class changes. Loved the playlist too - you know the right beats can really make a difference!

This is 100% my favorite fitness studio in Lafayette. I'm so thankful it opened because the other studios nearby don't even compare. If you're considering checking it out, DO IT. You won't regret it!
VIBE:
Inside it's modern and trendy without being overly done. There are 2 studios, one for the "fire" and "forge" classes and one for the "flow" classes, which is more like a yoga studio. I've seen a mix of age ranges here and everyone is super friendly.
AMENITIES:
The space is brand spanking new - both studios are equipped with swanky

I love this place! I prefer high intensity workouts and Formula3's Forge and Fire classes absolutely deliver. I love how their schedule rotates each day so I can ensure I'm getting both my strength and cardio training in. The bonus for me and what makes this a really unique experience is the access to their yoga-type classes, known as Flow. I took a Flow class with Sarah and it was awesome. It was equal parts tough and soothing for my sore muscles. I'm terrible at making yoga a priority and I love that Formula3 has everything I want (and need) all at the same studio. It's hard to get bored or burnt
