Guide: Your FTX Performance Free Week (2026)

The FTX Performance free week offers full access to our 36,000 sq ft Boca Raton facility, including unlimited gym use, group fitness classes, and one complimentary Recovery Lounge session. It is designed to let you experience our integrated approach to functional training, elite coaching, and holistic recovery.

What is the FTX Performance Free Week?

Embarking on a new fitness journey can often feel overwhelming, but the FTX Performance free week is structured to remove that friction. Located at 7815 NW Beacon Square Blvd, Suite #201, in Boca Raton, our facility is not just a gym; it is a comprehensive wellness hub designed to support every facet of your physical health. When you sign up for your free week, you aren't just getting a temporary pass to lift weights. You are gaining entry into an ecosystem that prioritizes longevity, performance, and recovery in equal measure. This introductory period allows you to explore our vast 36,000 square foot space, interact with our highly credentialed staff, and understand the philosophy that drives our community.

Founded by Octavio Cifuentes, FTX Performance was built on the belief that exercise is a fundamental pillar of overall wellness and recovery. This philosophy is embedded in everything we do, from the layout of our open gym to the specialized programming of our group classes. During your first seven days, you have the opportunity to test the waters of our General tier membership. This includes unlimited access to our state-of-the-art cardio and weightlifting equipment, as well as our diverse array of group fitness classes. To help you get started, we encourage all new visitors to visit our Get Started page to set up their initial profile and sign the required liability waiver before arriving.

Preparing for Your First Visit

To ensure you make the most of your time, a little preparation goes a long way. When you arrive at our Our Location in Boca Raton, you will be greeted by a team that is dedicated to making you feel at home. Because our facility is quite large, we recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early for your first visit. This gives you enough time to check in at the front desk, receive a brief tour of the layout, and locate the locker rooms. We provide full-service locker rooms equipped with showers and towel service, so you can transition from your workout to the rest of your day seamlessly.

When packing your gym bag for your free week, consider the following essentials:

• Comfortable athletic wear suitable for functional movement.
• A reusable water bottle (we have hydration stations throughout the facility).
• Clean athletic shoes; for weightlifting or turf work, specialized footwear is welcome.
• Swimwear if you plan to use your one free Recovery Lounge session (for the cold plunge).
• An open mind and a willingness to push your boundaries.

How should you structure your training sessions?

With a full week of access, the best strategy is to sample the variety of Programs we offer. Many first-time visitors make the mistake of sticking only to the machines they know. However, the true value of FTX Performance lies in our elite coaching and specialized environments. Our coaching staff includes CSCS-certified strength coaches and NASM-certified personal trainers, many of whom have worked with professional athletes in the NFL, NHL, and MLB. If your goal is to improve your athletic performance, you might consider scheduling a session to learn about our team and sports performance training.

For those who prefer a structured environment, our group fitness classes are the perfect way to stay accountable. These small-group sessions are designed to be high-energy and motivating, ensuring you get a great workout while being part of a community. Whether you are interested in functional strength, endurance, or high-intensity interval training, our Schedule offers options throughout the day to fit your busy lifestyle. We also offer specialized coaching for HYROX, making us a destination for those preparing for fitness racing. During your free week, try to attend at least two different class formats to see which one resonates most with your personal goals.

The Advantage of Personalized Guidance

While the open gym is expansive and features top-tier equipment, the guidance of a professional can drastically accelerate your results. At FTX, we pride ourselves on the mantra, "we customize the workout to you." This isn't just a marketing slogan; it is our operational standard. Even during a free trial, our coaches are available to answer questions and provide modifications for any exercise. If you find that you need more direct attention, you can inquire about our Pricing for personal training packages. One-on-one training is particularly beneficial if you are returning from an injury or have very specific performance targets, such as improving your tennis game with our internationally experienced tennis performance coach.

Building a routine during your free week is essential. We recommend a mix of strength training, cardiovascular work, and functional mobility. By alternating between high-intensity classes and steady-state sessions in the open gym, you can gauge how your body responds to the FTX environment. Remember, the goal of this week is not just to work out—it is to discover a sustainable way to integrate fitness into your life. Our facility is open Monday through Friday from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm, with weekend hours available to ensure you can find a time that works for you.

Why is the Recovery Lounge essential for results?

One of the most unique aspects of the FTX experience is our dedicated Recovery Lounge. We believe that recovery is just as important to your results as the training itself. As part of your free week, you receive one complimentary session in this exclusive space. This lounge is designed to help reduce inflammation, accelerate muscle repair, and provide a mental reset after a grueling workout. Many members find that their performance in the gym improves significantly when they prioritize these post-workout protocols.

The Recovery Lounge features advanced tools that are typically only available to professional athletes. When you use your free session, you will have access to:

• Three cold plunges (including a barrel and two tubs) for cold water immersion.
• A high-temperature sauna to promote detoxification and circulation.
• Normatec compression boots for lymphatic drainage and muscle recovery.
• Theraguns for targeted percussion therapy and myofascial release.
• An InBody machine for precise body composition analysis.

Using the cold plunge for the first time can be an invigorating experience. It is a powerful tool for reducing soreness and boosting the immune system. Our staff can guide you through the process, ensuring you use the equipment safely and effectively. For many, the Recovery Lounge becomes the highlight of their membership, turning the gym from a place of work into a place of total Wellness .

Holistic Wellness and Medical Services

Beyond the traditional gym setting, FTX Performance operates as a comprehensive medical and wellness hub. We understand that physical health is multifaceted, which is why we have integrated professional services directly into our facility. During your free week, you might notice our physical therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture sections. These services are provided by licensed professionals, including physical therapists and registered massage therapists who specialize in deep tissue, sports massage, and craniosacral therapy.

Nutrition is another critical component of our approach. We have a registered dietitian on staff who specializes in a non-dieting, intuitive-eating approach. This is particularly valuable for clients who want to build a healthy relationship with food while fueling their performance. Whether you need a specific nutrition plan or manual therapy to address a nagging injury, our multidisciplinary team is here to support you. Integrating these services into your routine ensures that you are taking a 360-degree approach to your health, rather than just focusing on one aspect of fitness.

How does FTX support the local recovery community?

FTX Performance is deeply rooted in the South Florida community, and our values extend beyond the walls of our gym. In 2018, we founded RTR (Recovery Through Repetition), a program specifically designed to support the local recovery community. This initiative offers donation-based fitness classes, including yoga and group workouts, to individuals in recovery from substance abuse. We believe that the discipline, community, and endorphin release found in fitness are vital tools for maintaining long-term sobriety.

This program reflects the origins of FTX, as our founder Octavio Cifuentes discovered the power of exercise during his own recovery journey. By participating in your free week, you are joining a community that values resilience and mutual support. The atmosphere at FTX is intentionally inclusive and non-intimidating, making it a safe space for everyone from elite athletes to those just starting their wellness journey. We serve the entire South Florida area, from Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale, fostering a network of health-conscious individuals who support one another.

Next Steps: Making the Most of Your Visit

As you wrap up your free week at FTX Performance, you will have a much clearer picture of what your fitness future could look like. Whether you decide to commit to a General tier membership or a Recovery tier membership, our goal is to ensure you feel empowered to continue your progress. We invite you to speak with our staff about which membership path best aligns with the goals you identified during your trial. If you aren't quite ready for a full commitment, we also offer Day Passes and Recovery Lounge Passes for your convenience.
