F45 WIGRAM OPENS 27 JANUARY
13
Ferrymead, Christchurch and Wigram
New concept in fitness training comes to Wigram Wigram is to be the latest Christchurch location for one of the world’s fastestgrowing fitness trends when the new F45 Training gym opens there later this month. Developed in Sydney by Rob Deutsch, a former equities trader, F45, or Functional 45 minutes, is a team-based HIIT (highintensity interval training) workout protocol that focuses on motivation, innovation and results. Franchise owner of the Wigram gym, Marcin Miroslaw, who also has F45 franchises in the central city (the first in the South Island) and Ferrymead, says one of the key advantages of the F45 concept is that participants don’t need to think about what they have to do when they come to the gym for a workout. “The programme is all laid out for members and there are two personal trainers at each class, who correct people’s technique, motivate and encourage them, plus there’s the music designed by one of the world’s top DJs to keep them pumped,” Marcin says. Over the 45-minute programme, participants proceed round the circuit doing short bursts of exercise, with shorter breaks in between. Circuit styles are different every
day and there are more than 30 different workouts, combining elements of HIIT, Circuit Training, and Functional Training. This combination of interval, cardiovascular and strength training has been proven to be the most effective workout method for burning fat and building lean muscle. “It’s enjoyable, and it brings results,” Marcin says. “Workouts change daily and are never repeated, and all the workouts are tested by the F45 Athletic department to optimise the results and experience of the participants.” F45 offers several membership options, but most people opt for the month-on-month membership, with 28 days’ cancellation notice, he says. “Members have unlimited access to all classes and there is no joining or cancellation fee.” A big part of the F45 programme is the eight-week challenge. Run four times a year, it is a fantastic way to help people lose weight and reach their fitness goals, Marcin says. “The F45 eight-week challenge also includes nutritional support, shopping lists, recipes and daily meal plans and goal tracking, which helps people achieve their weight loss goals in a much healthier way
than going on diets. The next eight-week challenge starts on January 29. “F45 has been established in more than 30 countries around the world, and since coming to New Zealand, it has really taken off here. It’s different from other gyms as it is a big part of the community, with involvement in social events and members feeling that they are part of a team.
