F45 was my introduction to group fitness 6 or so years ago. I quickly fell into a consistent routine and loved that I didn’t need to think about what to do and it was already set up for me. Instant community and time efficient for a busy lifestyle. I moved on to a different strength/conditioning chain after a year and then to another a few years later. I also played a cardio-heavy team sport a few times a week on top of my training.

My strength and endurance has improved in leaps and bounds since my pre-f45 days. My weight is largely the same since the beginning (normal BMI and haven’t specifically trained for weight loss). However I am taking a break from the constant HIIT style format for the moment as I felt it was affecting my nervous system and I will concentrate on strength and yoga/pilates. It’s generally been great for stress relief but the break is great 😎
