F45 Training is a global fitness community that offers innovative, high-intensity group workouts. It was launched in 2011 by Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch as part of a move to modernize gym participation. The name "F45" stands for "Functional 45," representing the focus on functional training and the total duration of the workouts, which is 45 minutes.
- F45 Training is an Australian franchisor and operator of fitness centers based in Austin, Texas, with over 2,000 studios in more than 60 countries.
- Each F45 studio has access to thousands of exercises, customized training systems, circuit movement patterns, timing modules, and workouts that change on a daily basis.
- Integrated technology is a key aspect of the F45 experience, with the same video workout demonstrations and F45 DJ playlists played across all studios.
The workouts at F45 Training are designed to be fast, fun, and results-driven, combining high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with functional training. Functional training mimics the movements you use in everyday life, such as squatting, lifting, pulling, pushing, jumping, and twisting. The F45 workouts alternate between HIIT-style cardio, strength training, or a hybrid mixture of the two.
- No two workouts at F45 are the same, as the exercise type, number of exercise stations, work time, and rest time vary, providing a diverse and challenging experience.
- F45 Training has been ranked as one of the fastest-growing fitness franchises globally, with around 500 studios in Australia, 1,000 in the United States, and 2,000 worldwide as of 2023.
In addition to its training programs, F45 offers the F45 Challenge, a personalized, integrated program that combines high-intensity group training with optimum nutrition and personal coaching. The F45 Challenge is a holistic training and lifestyle program that empowers individuals to meet their fitness goals, whether they want to drop body fat, improve body composition, build strength, or learn new skills.
