Rules of

Answers to the most common athlete questions. Read before reaching out.
Can non-members participate?
Non-members can participate only if invited or approved by the event team. The event is built around the F45 community first.
Is my spot confirmed after submitting the form?
No. Completing the form alone does not create or complete a registration. You must successfully purchase the Playoffs 2026 product in Mindbody, then the event team verifies and approves your entry.
How do I pay?
Mindbody checkout is a required part of registration. There is no pay-later option. Your registration is complete only after the Playoffs 2026 purchase succeeds.
Can beginners participate?
Beginners can participate, but this is a serious competition. Athletes should be ready for intensity, real movement standards and a fast-paced floor.
How are heats assigned?
Athletes are assigned to timed waves by the event team. The 100-athlete operating model remains subject to the venue-floor rehearsal; athletes do not choose their wave.
Will there be prizes?
Top Male, Top Female and the eligible Winning Studio receive recognition. Corte Madera, San Rafael and Novato compete individually and do not earn studio points or qualify for the belt. Sponsor prizes will be announced closer to event day.
How many spots are available?
The operational plan is for up to 100 athletes, subject to the venue-floor rehearsal. The event team is manually managing 10 spots for each of Corte Madera, San Rafael and Novato through August 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT. The website and Mindbody checkout do not enforce those numbers automatically; payment and final capacity are reviewed by the event team.
Will the full ranking be posted?
The full ranking will not be posted publicly. Official winners and top placements will be announced, including the Top 3 male and Top 3 female athletes recognized as Top 40+ Finishers. A post-event recognition may show each recognized finisher's 40+ placement and, when appropriate, overall placement.
How does the 40+ Age Group Ranking work?
Athletes who are 40 or older on August 29, 2026 remain in the main overall ranking by gender and also receive a parallel 40+ placement. This is recognition only, not a Masters division, and it has no separate prize, podium, qualification spot, belt, or extra points.
Can I walk in on the day of the event?
Walk-ins are not automatic. They require approval from the event team and only happen if space is available.
