I never worked out in my adult life. I was a reality TV couch potato who laughed at the thought of going to a gym. I could never find a way of exercising that I enjoyed and looked forward to.That is until I joined F45…..I can now call myself an F45 groupie and I am proud of that!
Reasons to be obsessed with F45 1.The workouts The F45 workouts challenge you and push you to your max. The workouts address muscular strength, muscular endurance, and your cardio respiratory endurance. As challenging as these workouts are they somehow fly by! The variety of every workout makes each workout different, new, exciting, and fun! Over the past few months I can feel and see changes in my body, energy, and overall quality of life. I have NEVER been one that enjoyed working out or looked forward to it but by some miracle, F45 has changed my view. Everytime I leave F45 I feel proud of myself and energized.
2.Team atmosphere As a former division 1 athlete who spent the majority of my life in a team environment, I struggled to find a gym that had similar comraderie without being “cliquey”. F45 has the best energy and atmosphere of any gym in Stamford. The team training aspect allows you to build relationships with like minded people who have similar goals. The other clients at F45 are friendly and welcoming. The staff at F45 genuinely cares about each client and takes the time to get to know you. Everytime you walk into the gym you are greeted with a big smile from someone! They genuinely care about your fitness journey. On several occasions I have reached out to the trainers with questions about nutrition and training and they always are so incredibly helpful. The owners of F45 are so passionate about their gym and their clients.
Heart Rate monitors This is what got me hooked. The heart rate monitors add a whole new element to exercising. Getting an e-mailed workout report directly after working out is a great way to hold yourself accountable and keep track of workouts. I also notice that when I start to get tired and slow down, I remember that I am going to see that dip in my heartrate and I know I’ll be disappointed later. The heartrate monitor adds a comeptetive aspect and I am constantly trying to do better than the...
Read moreI have not been a regular gym-goer, have never been able to settle into a location and routine where I feel comfortable. F45 has changed all of that. I first met Anthony at an unrelated event, got some info and signed up before F45 even opened.
My first class was amazing. I literally had not done any organized physical activity in years so I was apprehensive about what I had gotten myself into and I came out of that first class feeling fantastic. I love that there are ways to modify every station for your personal fitness level and ability. I love that there is absolutely NO judgement for doing so, just encouragement to keep going and tons of high-fives for sticking with it.
Love the variety of class times - no excuses of F45 not fitting in with...
Read moreI was at my lowest when I stumbled into F45 and it was an experience that quite literally saved my life. It was my last resort to kick an eating disorder and push myself to become the athlete I know I am! The trainers, the owners, the atmosphere, the workouts are all amazing and so truly motivating. After an 8 week challenge I was NOT the same person that walked in the door and I will always credit F45 for turning me into the athlete, and healthy, strong woman that I am today. I hope everyone at F45 knows how truly grateful I am to them for loving me and pushing me unconditionally. I hope you know that you have changed my life forever in the most amazing way and I am CRUSHING life because OF YOU!...
