What is F45?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

F45 is a franchisee model of gyms with over 1700 locations around the world. It bases its workouts on metabolic and cardio activity, also using resistance training (weights) too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The F <\/strong>stands for functional training<\/em>. The number 45 <\/strong>represents the number of minutes of each class (45 minutes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training methodology is similar to CrossFit in that it is high-intensity and functional. However, it is less technical in movement repertoire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regards to the more complex techniques, CrossFit has more that you need to learn, plus the ancillary and accessory lifts that go with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where did F45 come from?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

F45 is now based in the US (Austin, TX) but it was founded in Sydney, Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was founded in 2013 by 2 entrepreneurs called Adam Gilchrist<\/a> and Rob Deutsch<\/a>, both of which have stepped down from their roles in the business in 2021 and 2020 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s rapid growth saw it being planted in ‘Western’ countries, particularly the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happened to F45 market shares?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you follow the markets you might have seen in 2021, Gilchrist founder and ex-CEO is said to have made $500m overnight<\/a> (AUS) after F45 went public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deutsch stepped down earlier on, in 2020, from his CEO duties. He received a tasty little payout, but not as much as Gilchrist who according to public sources was handed $10m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A far cry from its floating price on the New York Stock Exchange $16.10 a share.<\/em>“<\/p>Kaldine Media<\/strong> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The share price was noted to have plummeted by over 60%. Gilchrist stepped away from the business in 2021 after his exit and left with over $10m in a payout agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
