Our Story

X4 is just a gym, but to us, that’s a good thing.

We’re dedicated to giving our members an efficient workout to get—and stay—in shape for what we value most: our lives outside the gym. Our formula works: a 50-minute instructor-led workout backed by science, tested by athletes, and loved by real people. No class is the same, so workouts stay fresh and you stay inspired. X4 offers accountability, energy, and peace of mind knowing you don’t have to come up with your own routine. We work out together, but our journeys are our own. Our only competition is yesterday.

At X4, we work hard without overthinking. We get in, work out, and get back out to the lives we love.
