So, you’ve built your F45 empire, now its time to change some lives! Owning an F45 means seeing a constant flow of faces through your studio doors, some of which are regular members, and some new faces; all coming together with a common goal- to get fit and healthy!

Over the past decade there's been a massive shift in the fitness industry and it’s not often that we take a step back and look at how much its ACTUALLY evolved!

It is human nature to get caught up in the monotony of our day to day lives. We have heard likely our whole lives that we should go to school, find a job that we enjoy and try to find a long term career path that can take us all the way to retirement. In fact, for most of us, it’s ingrained in our minds that we are on a linear path towards retirement and any sort of ‘straying’ that we do will end up costing us in the long run. We’re here to tell you -- that is bogus. Here’s why. 

The franchise marketplace is constantly changing and evolving, and every year Entrepreneur recognises the top global franchisers in the Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® ranking.

The time has come. A new year is upon us and it can be absolutely thrilling to think about all that awaits you in the coming 365 days. Enter: a surge of excitement, ambition and determination to make this your year. What matters the most now is what you will do with those feelings and how you will use them to propel you forward, towards the life you’ve always dreamed of -- and it starts with your career.

Or do you want to be remembered as the person who slaved away to corporate life, but missed out on the other important things life has to offer? The choice is yours. 

Becoming a franchise owner for the first time is one of the most exciting chapters of your life, full of so many opportunities and new possibilities.

Finding a gym, or community of like minded individuals, that is truly inclusive and welcoming to everyone, regardless of background, can be challenging.

Have you ever found yourself in a new workout routine, feeling energized and motivated one day and the next feeling a bit burnt out?

Corporate life is usually characterized by working a 9-5 schedule (give or take), within a traditionally structured organization or company. Individuals who work traditional corporate jobs likely have their set schedule, a boss that he/she reports to and specific work tasks that fall under their umbrella as an employee. For some people, this is the dream and they thrive off of the structure laid out for them. 

For others, however, corporate life may feel like a ‘ball and chain’ relationship, and one that they desperately want to get out of. 

F45 is more than a fitness program: we’re a global cultural phenomenon that has taken the wellness industry by storm. Throughout the past several years, we have carefully crafted a concept that included fitness, nutrition and community involvement. Let’s dig a little deeper into our unique take on what makes a fitness studio great and what sets us apart from the competition and as a leader in our industry. 

There’s nothing worse than walking into a new studio or gym and feeling super excited, just to have your ego quickly blown to pieces by someone making you feel inferior for being yourself. At F45 Training, we are proudly doing everything we can to eliminate the idea of inflated egos and establish an environment of self-confidence, both inside the studio and behind the scenes. 

These days, it’s hard to imagine a world without social media in our personal and professional lives. It seems like everyone has an account for themselves, their dog or the business venture they’re trying out. It’s truly a wonderful place to connect with other people!

We have been conditioned  from a very young age to believe certain things that our career has to be finite from the day we enter the workforce. Most of us have been told starting in our adolescent years, that our career defines us and that we have to choose that path very carefully. 

While that may be true, there are a few lies that we think people are still feeding into. According to Life Hack, we don’t have to accept these as true any longer! 

Let’s jump in and discover how we can break free of the chains of the lies in which we’ve been ingrained to accept…

Entrepreneurs and business owners are constantly trying to balance their demanding work schedules with their personal lives, leaving them susceptible to feeling like they may 'crash and burn' over time. It can be incredibly overwhelming for them to prioritize their mental health and wellbeing, as well as give enough effort to the other aspects of their life that demand their undivided attention. 

So, you’re interested in becoming an entrepreneur or business owner, but you don’t want to do it 100% alone. We totally understand, and we speak to people who have these same feelings all the time.

We feel as though our franchisees join the F45 family from the moment they officially decide to become a part of our franchise network, and as we do with all of our network, we look ahead towards the future and how we can best work together to find potential success.
