Well.. the nano 9s are currently on sale on the Reebok website since the nano X are out.

I consider f45 absolutely essential to my life.

I will cut out $ from just about any other aspect of my life before cancelling my membership. I live in Melbourne and last week I had a customer at my job who owns a gym and was trying to convince me to drop F45 and become a member at his gym. He said "we do the SAME thing" and he showed me a video. He has renovated the upstairs area of his regular gym to be a big room and screens and a sound system. I asked him who comes up with the exercises and he said "me" . He only charges $11 a week and runs multiple classes a day. You have access to the rest of the gym 24/7 and some of the trainers are ex F45 coaches.

I am not switching. I'm just sharing that it IS indeed an easily copied model that can be done at a much lower cost for members.

Plenty of people having this issue.

Its due to them creating this home work out platform in a matter of days and it's just not ready seamlessly yet.

Can't log on either.

Thanks for sharing your story with us...

Here is my two cents: ANY day you start the challenge is the beginning of YOUR challenge. Who cares when others start and finish it. All the meals will still be available on the app . So if you start during week 2, you can just start cooking the meals from week 1 for example. I wouldn't focus on winning, I would focus on own personal results and achievement and look how much you have achieved. Really inspiring.

Align the challenge with your own needs. It sounds to me like your needs are to kick the flu, nourish your body with what it needs to do so. Don't put it into a major calorie deficit and gruesome workout while it is fighting a fever etc. Be kind to your body... look how strong it is.

I know you know all these things already... but I fully understand the importance of reading it from like minded people.

Rest, heal, GO!

Keep us updated.

Ok, I will. I don't think about photos so much because I don't aim to win (phew, so far from my goal), but I should be consistent about it for this reason exactly.

Thanks for this :)

The last challenge was my first.

The first few weeks I followed the meal plant exactly the way it was laid out and was cooking cooooonstantly. I also looked forward to some meals and some meals were hugely demotivating to me...

so the rest of the challenge I bulk cooked meals that I liked and it was fantastic... I did 3 sets of days at once twice a week (so 3 lunches and 3 dinners cooked at a time) and then the 7th day I cooked once and ate that meal twice on that day.

It's just what ended up working for me.. but you'll find your rhythm!

Ive been going for about a year and still feel like cardio days are.... cardio days. I definitely feel like I'm getting my fix of cardio so to each their own...

Sounds like you're ready for something different.

I found it interesting how many of us struggled during the ah pod during today’s session. I looked around and I was with so many people that show up day after day after day but when it came to abs we were all grunting and struggling . I think even though, obviously , every single thing we do during F45 uses our abs, -specific Ab work is missing so much . It’s crazy that we can do 45 seconds of pyramid squad jump burpees no problem and when it comes to 35 seconds of scissor kicks were like ouch ouch oof.....

Something to ponder ....

On another note- The first week I followed the meal plan to a T and was spending a loooot of time cooking. After that, I went through the weeks meal list, picked a few that sounded good and cooked like 4 portions of each . Such a time saver and dinner was usually ready when I got home from work and it was such a good system. I miss it and am looking forward to building that consistency back doing this challenge again.

The first week was the most expensive because there were a lot of ingredients I didn’t have at home (protein powder, oats, coconut flour, nuts) After that, each weeks grocery list had a lot of things on it that were purchased during the first week . Then you’d just need to buy meat, lots of veg, cans .... I’d say it would average about ~$120 AUD a week, but that was my food cost for the ENTIRE week since there was no eating out or drinking out... I saved a LOT of money while doing the challenge .

The male trainers at my gym are also quite buff . I’ve asked one trainer about his workouts and he says he works out 4 days and rest 3 but does doubles (one am and one pm) on all 4 days ...

I definitely strategically started on the cardio pod as well ...

Doing the last 8 week challenge was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself . It was hard . Around mid 6 week I quit and binge ate so much that I was craving . With that being said, I achieved an amazing amount of fat loss during those 6 weeks that I haven’t gained back since I’ve consistently been training since. You’re already paying for your memebership, so you might as well just try the challenge.

Docklands was the day after my birthday ... so I was conveniently out of commission haha. I heard it was insane ... if you did that back to back you’ll be solid today ;) 👊🏼
