Finding the time and motivation to go the gym can be tough when you’re trying to commit to a one or two-hour session of lifting weights but what if you could just burn a lot of calories and build muscle in just 45 minutes using everyday movements?
To put it simply, F45 Training is a global fitness brand backed by Mark Wahlberg that create workout programmes consisting of functional circuit workouts and high intensity workouts that burn a lot of calories in just 45 minutes.
A circuit workout consists of a combination of exercises performed with short rest periods such as rowing, sled pushing and kettle bell swings or a bodyweight circuit could consist of push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and then squats and lunges. High intensity interval training (HIIT) style workouts consist of short but intense workouts such as pedalling hard on a stationary bike for 10 to 60 seconds and then an immediate rest period for the same length of time or longer.
Beyond burning fat and building muscle, these exercises will help your body work more effectively when it comes to performing everyday movements or activities.
The best part is that no workout is ever the same as there’s over 3,900 different exercises used by F45 to create their workouts, so it never feels monotonous. Different workout programmes are offered each day focusing on Cardio, Resistance, Hybrid, or Recovery Training.
Workouts can also be catered to beginners or experienced gym-goers, so there’s no pressure to compete with anyone. Unless you enjoy friendly competition that this, in which case you may enjoy some of the workouts which will see you paired up with a partner.
It definitely beats standing around flicking though social media while you wait for the three gym bros taking turns on the bench press to finish up.
The franchise is supported by Mark Wahlberg who swears by their workouts and invested in the company back in 2019 as well as David Beckham who also became a global partner. F45 has locations all over the world and currently has eight locations in Dubai with more opening soon.
