Where
Fitness
Meets
Family
This
is
no
ordinary
gym.
But
a
fitness
community.
A
family.
When
I
first
walked
into
F45,
I
did
a
double
take
while
reading
the
sign
at
the
entrance,
“Be
stronger
than
your
excuses.”
Those
words
simply
and
deeply
resonated
with
me,
far
more
than
I
had
anticipated.
I
was
done
with
making
excuse
after
excuse
about
missing
my
yoga,
capoeira
or
even
home
workout
sessions.
I
was
ready
to
get
stronger
–
in
mind,
body
and
spirit.
To
be
honest,
I
had
never
performed
the
type
of
workouts
that
are
practiced
at
F45,
which
essentially
merge
functional
training
with
high-intensity
interval
training.
Yet
my
fear
immediately
subsided
when
I
met
one
of
the
trainers,
Alaa,
who
explained
each
and
every
single
workout
throughout
the
circuit.
Whether
it
was
Alaa,
Leen
or
any
other
trainer,
all
the
highly
qualified
F45
instructors
provide
guidance
and
tips
on
how
to
perform
or
even
modify
the
required
exercise.
Most
importantly,
they
all
regularly
offer
the
needed
motivation
to
help
push
me
and
others
further
and
further!
Until
the
45
minutes
are
up!
Another
thing
I
like
about
F45
are
the
large
screen
TVs
placed
around
the
studio
that
display
a
different
exercise.
The
TVs
help
to
promote
individual
focus
for
each
of
the
participants
depending
on
the
station.
The
TVs
also
allow
the
members
to
follow
the
particular
routine
more
easily.
Moreover,
the
F45
gym
is
highly
innovative
where
all
registrations,
memberships,
bookings,
waitlists
and
even
commerce
are
all
automated
through.
Everything
is
paid
through
the
F45
Glofox
Pro
App
–
from
membership
packages
and
paraphernalia
to
water
and
wireless
heart
rate
monitors.
Last
but
not
least,
the
workouts
are
all
delivered
in
a
warm
and
welcoming
group
setting.
After
all,
the
company
describes
itself
as
“A
global
fitness
community
specializing
in
innovative,
high-intensity
group
workouts
that
are
fast,
fun,
and
results-driven.”
Back
to
my
first-ever
session
at
F45,
just
before
our
routine
warm-up,
Alaa
formally
introduced
me
to
the
group.
A
resounding
applause
followed.
That’s
when
I
realized
that
I
found
my
new
home
away
from
home.
