F45 Training

Tristan & Haydn Elliot

F45 Oxford Circus

Haydn & I are two of F45’s youngest franchisee’s. We launched our first studio in July this year and we already hungry for the next. Prior to F45, we had been on very different paths. I was just establishing myself in Investment Management and Haydn was finding his feet in Theatre Marketing. While both were promising careers, we realized that fitness was our passion and that we wanted to do something for ourselves. Through our experience of Crossfit and other strength and conditioning, we understood the power of group exercise and that successful businesses develop through the communities that are built inside them. After visiting the F45 studios that were already open in London, we instantly knew that F45 was the path we wanted to take - we had to have one. Sixteen months later we launched and it has been an awesome journey to date. F45 Headquarters was extremely supportive throughout the process, but we also took a lot of initiative to make this business our own - you have to. This is our business and no one is going to do it for us. We are loving every minute of being able to provide fitness to people from all different walks of life.

F45 Brighton Central

Ever since I was little, I’ve had a thirst for physical exercise and a fascination of the human body and its physical capabilities. That interest lead me on a path to study physiotherapy, a career with a number of leading pharmaceutical companies, and running a number of half marathons and marathons. But it wasn’t until after having two children that I was inspired to follow my lifelong passion and become of personal trainer. While working as a trainer, I came across F45 on Instagram and within twelve months of my first class, we opened our first franchise in Brighton. As a working mum, I know how precious time can be. I loved that F45 classes are so time efficient, but the results that can be achieved are life changing. Following my passion and starting a business that truly impacts the lives of so many in my community is the best decision I have ever made.

F45 is the exact workout people crave; the tailored workouts combine the best of Orangetheory and Crossfit to create a lean, strong, healthy body with the variety needed to keep our members coming back for more. People WANT to go to F45 and the results are evident both for our members and for our business. We are now 16 months old and have surpassed our 24 month goals. We are using the F45 Marketing Package which has been a great driver to get people through our doors. We can honestly say that the most rewarding part of owning an F45 is seeing the incredible transformations of our members. We have enjoyed one success story after another and we cannot wait to open our next location.

Prior to starting my first F45 Studio, I was a Principal/Executive VP at a privately held consulting firm. After 26 years, I was ready to make an exit, but had no desire to retire. Instead, I began researching various franchises that my entire family could invest in and enjoy. For 18 months, I evaluated a variety of options including OrangeTheory Fitness, TITLE Boxing Club, CycleBar, and a new, unnamed "big box" concept. During that time, a friend of mine who owns a couple OTF's recommended I look at F45 as he noted that of all the fitness concepts out there, "F45 makes OTF the most nervous.” Upon further assessment of F45, not only did I find the workouts the best part of the whole process, but I also discovered that the business model provided a better ROI than what I found with the other options. On top of that, I found the technology to be cutting edge with a large community involvement. With all four of those vital elements in place, I made the choice to invest in F45. Today, we have 3 locations open and our membership is on a nice consistent growth pattern at all three.

F45 is more than just a smart business investment, it’s a life investment. In some ways being a business analyst at one of the top banks in Australia was easier as it was a predictable 9-5, but because of F45, both my wife and I are in the best shape of our lives, we have largest network of friends, an immeasurable support group, and we are the happiest we’ve ever been. I also have such a greater purpose in my life than I have ever had before – I feel it emotionally, physically and mentally. Our members feel that, too! Beyond the incredible support of our member base, we have also been blessed with a tremendous amount of support from other F45 owners as well as the staff at F45 Headquarters. Just before we opened, we were below our membership goals. With one call to the team at HQ, we were enrolled in one of the marketing packages which delivered an abundance of quality leads – so many that we had to quit calling just to get the doors opened for those that were ready to visit. We now have a very healthy membership base that continues to grow because of the results our members are achieving and their passion to share with others in the community.

F45 Capitol Hill

I am an entrepreneur at heart with a passion for technology and fitness. After selling my last start-up, a video streaming platform, I was looking for my next endeavor. Having been a member of an OrangeTheory Fitness, I decided to open several studios of my own. Fortunately, during a 6-month delay, I was introduced to F45 by another OTF member and the rest is history. With one visit to the F45 headquarters in Los Angeles, I was hooked by the workout, the technology, the people and the ability to scale. I now have one studio opened, a second launching in a few weeks, and 8 more territories underway. F45 is a front runner in the technology and fitness space. This type of training can be very confusing, but F45 provides an unmatchable system with a fast variety of functional benefits for members. Other fitness franchises can’t compete with F45’s offerings. F45 has built solid systems and structures that still allow owners the flexibility needed to succeed. This is conducive to entrepreneurs who can see the vision and have the passion to build businesses. I am proof of this success. With focus, drive and discipline during the presale months, I will open my second studio with the largest member base seen by any franchise in our system. It is 2x larger than the membership goal and proof it is possible to open at this size.

I had often thought about starting my own gym, but it wasn’t until after I’d decided to divert from my career in finance, and I had the opportunity to experience an F45 workout, that knew this was the type of gym I wanted to start. I was immediately hooked. Never had I found such an efficient and effective workout. It was the perfect workout for me, personally, and I knew customers would love it as well. The model also made sense from a business and finance perspective. Between the low upfront cost, the turnkey solution and the support of HQ, opening the first gym was super smooth even for someone with no previous experience. Today, I now have invested in three F45 Studios with my brother and our third partner. I can honestly say the most rewarding element of our work is the community we have created. It is one that is prevalent in the members of our gyms, as well as across the network of owners. We all truly appreciate each other and support each other, which is something I find incredibly unique in both a gym and work setting.
