If you’ve heard the buzz around F45 but aren’t quite sure what it’s all about, you’re not alone. The name sounds like a secret code—but once you experience it, you’ll see why F45 is one of the fastest-growing fitness movements in the world. Whether your goal is to lose weight, build strength, or just feel better in your body, F45 Training offers a smarter, more exciting way to work out.
So… how does F45 work exactly? Let’s break it down for you.
🔄 What Does “F45” Even Mean?
“F” stands for functional training, a mix of cardio, strength, and bodyweight movements that mirror everyday actions—like squatting, lifting, jumping, and twisting.
“45” stands for 45 minutes, the perfect amount of time to get in, sweat hard, and get on with your day.
Each workout is built around full-body, functional movements designed to improve strength, endurance, coordination, and fat burn—no matter your fitness level.
🧠 The Workouts Are Designed for You—Not By You
At a traditional gym, you’re expected to figure out your own workout plan. At F45, we do all the planning for you. Each day features a different workout type:
Cardio Days – High-intensity intervals to boost endurance and burn fat
Strength Days – Resistance-focused workouts to build lean muscle
Hybrid Days – The perfect blend of cardio and strength
No two workouts are ever the same, so your body (and your brain) stay engaged.
👥 Small Group Training with Expert Coaches
You won’t find rows of treadmills and machines at F45. Instead, you’ll be in a dynamic, coach-led group session where you move through stations in timed intervals. Every workout is:
Led by certified trainers who offer personal guidance and modifications
Powered by demo screens that show exactly what to do at each station
Fueled by high energy, loud music, and a team atmosphere
You’ll get the support of a group with the attention of a personal trainer—all in one.
🔥 How F45 Helps You Burn Fat and Build Muscle
F45 is rooted in HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), a method proven to increase calorie burn during and after your workout through a phenomenon called the afterburn effect (or EPOC). This means your body continues burning calories for hours post-workout.
Plus, the combination of cardio and strength days helps you lose fat while preserving (and building) muscle mass—a key factor for sustainable weight loss and overall health.
📱 Progress Tracking & Community Support
With tools like the F45 Challenge app, body composition scans, and heart rate monitors, you can track your progress over time and adjust your goals accordingly. But it’s not just about numbers—it’s about people.
F45 Ventura County is known for its strong community vibes. Expect high-fives, encouragement, and a team that actually notices when you show up (or don’t).
🧃 Nutrition + Fitness = Real Results
Workouts are only half the equation. F45 offers meal planning tools, macro tracking, and nutrition guidance to help you fuel your body for results—whether your goal is to slim down, tone up, or feel more energized.
