Away.F13 Performance Center, Allentown PA

It's how F13 programs its training: Strength, Stability, Skill, and Sweat. Every block is built around those four, so you develop across all of them instead of grinding the same movements week after week.

F13 is structured performance training, not random daily workouts. Programming runs in blocks and is built to progress over time. Class sizes are smaller, the equipment is better, and you are not going to find a surprise gymnastics workout on a Thursday.

F13 runs structured 12-week training blocks with progression built in, rather than a surprise workout each day. Sessions are capped at a small group size so coaches can adjust movement, load, and tempo for each member in real time. Coaches are credentialed strength professionals (USAW, PT/DPT, Exercise Science degrees), not rotating group-fitness instructors. The emphasis is strength and performance rather than random conditioning. It runs closer to team sports coaching than to a typical group class.

The facility is new; the coaching staff isn't. Rob Eschbach has coached for thirty years across powerlifting, bodybuilding, and general strength. F13 has 88 five-star reviews under the same coaching team. Head Coach Payton has an Exercise Science degree and played collegiate football; Coach Sam is a licensed Physical Therapist; Coach Alyssa is a 2024 Adaptive CrossFit Games Champion. The résumés are on the team page.

Life happens. The schedule runs multiple slots throughout the day so you can usually make it up the same day. If you miss a full week, programming picks up where you left off, so you won't be lost.

Just yourself, a water bottle, workout clothes, and shoes. All equipment is provided. If it's your first class, show up 10 minutes early so we can get you set up.

Yes. F13 is the only HYROX training club in Allentown listed on HYROX's own club finder. The race equipment is in the gym year round: Concept2 SkiErgs and rowers, sled turf and ropes, sandbags, kettlebells, wall balls at competition weight and above. See the HYROX page.

We do. The race prep program covers individual and doubles racers: personalized programming built around your race date, 24/7 gym access, and race day planning. Spots are capped. Call 484-891-0840 or email info@f13performance.com to set up a consultation.

Yes. Plenty of our athletes started with zero races. Classes scale the weights and movements so you start at the right place, and if you are training for a race we work you up to competition weight and the transitions between movements while fatigued. More on race prep.

24 F13 athletes raced HYROX Washington D.C. across one September weekend. Racing is part of the culture here, not a poster on the wall. See the athletes.
