F45 Training: Never Heard of It? You Will — and Soon

For participants that want even more from their experience, they can join the F45 Challenge, an eight-week program that includes strict nutritional planning. Before and after shots and/or body scans are taken, and each studio has its own method of measuring body fat. Prizes are awarded for best transformations. Currently there are four eight-week programs with different nutritional coaching in each phase including meal plans, shopping lists, and educational support. The nutritional goals include decreasing water retention, lessening sugar cravings, losing fat, and adding lean muscle. Participation in the challenge is free and most of the support is web-based, though the studios encourage three to four sessions a week to achieve optimum results.
