Why I LOVE F45!

Hey there, readers! Today, I'm super excited to share a slice of my life that has been nothing short of transformative - my amazing experience with F45! If you're looking to fall in love with fitness and be part of an amazing community, F45 might just be the perfect fit for you.

What is F45?

F45, short for "Functional 45," is a fitness phenomenon (started in Australia) that has taken the world by storm. It's not just a workout; it's a lifestyle. The workouts combine elements of high- intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training, and functional training. 

One of the things I adore about F45 is the ever-changing variety of daily workouts, each designed to target different muscle groups and challenge your body in unique ways. The week is divided into various themes, each with its own focus:

1. Cardio: Mondays and Wednesdays are a cardio-centric workout that gets your heart racing and boosts your endurance. The cardio workouts use plyometric movements, timing and tempo to blast both the aerobic and anaerobic systems, resulting in fat burning, muscle building and metabolism boosting sessions. 

2. Strength: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays will have you lifting weights and building muscle. They use functional movement patterns that help increase muscle mass. Each resistance workout is designed to target power and stabilization for a solid base of functional strength, resulting in stronger, leaner, more defined muscles.

3. Hybrid: Fridays and Saturdays combine cardio, resistance, agility and core movements, to increase your endurance, fire up your metabolism and improves your strength

Note: Saturdays and Sundays are an hour long!

What is my favorite day?

That is a tough question to answer. I love cardio but I also love lifting. This is why I love the overall class! Although I will say the toughest class is Redline. If you see that is the name of the class and you want to attend.....good luck.

Why F45 Has My Heart

Now, let's dive into why I'm head over heels for F45:

1. Community Connection: F45 isn't just a place to sweat; it's a community that supports, motivates, and uplifts each other. The camaraderie is truly something special, making every workout feel like a shared victory.

2. Time Efficiency: With sessions lasting just 45 minutes, F45 is the epitome of efficient fitness. It's the perfect solution for busy schedules, ensuring you can crush your goals without spending hours in the gym.

3. Constant Challenge: The ever-changing workouts keep things fresh and prevent plateauing. I'm always excited to see what each day brings, and this element of surprise keeps me coming back for more.

4. Results, Baby!: I've seen remarkable changes in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness since starting my F45 journey. The structured workouts and expert guidance have undoubtedly propelled me toward my fitness goals. I have lost 20 lbs since I started working out November 2022.

5. Personal Attention: F45 trainers are like fitness wizards, offering guidance, form correction, and motivational pushes to help you achieve your best results while minimizing the risk of injury.

6. Mind-Body Fusion: F45 isn't just about physical transformation; it's also about mental empowerment. Each session challenges me to push past my limits, fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-belief that extends beyond the gym walls.

7. There Are Studios Everywhere: With coaching travel volleyball, I am constantly going to different places and states. It is awesome that I can always find an F45 Studio! I go to the studios website and register for a drop-in. This allows me to never miss a workout!
