Forget the 5.2 diet there is a new weight control craze sweeping Australia - and now Auckland it seems. That would be, F45. It whips your abs into shape in no time, doing a class three or four times a week, for only two or three weeks. While there are dozens of high-intensity workouts available at gyms, F45 burns at least 500 calories (hence the reason to kick the 5.2 diet) and at each class the format, is changing. It involves switching exercises every minute, another bonus, the session goes by quickly. The routines are chosen from a roster of over 2,500 exercises while pumping music blares in the background, and large TV screens tell you when it's time to change. You've heard of HIIT training, well F45 is next level for fitness junkies or those of us that want to blitz those extra kilos in a hurry.
One minute it's sprinting, and the next rowing, or squatting, even lunges and the most effective, planking - expect to leave with your abs on fire. According to Aussie models and fitness bloggers on Instagram, it's the holy grail of getting into shape fast.
And before you think it's not for you, F45 Training in Auckland CBD states all ages and all fitness levels are welcome, with ten different programs, there is no time for losing interest - just kilos.
