F45 TRAINING Business partners Rob Deutsch and Luke Istomin are behind the F45 Training (Functional 45 Minute Training) group-training phenomenon that promises to burn fat and build muscle. Based on two styles of classes: interval cardio and strength training, the functional training work out has been proven to burn up to 800 calories in just 45 minutes. The F45 Training system is structured and sold as a License rather than a franchise, offering Licensees maximum flexibility in tailoring pricing, programming, marketing and advertising to clientele and demographics. Alongside providing Licensees with inexpensive but premium indoor functional fitness equipment to outfit their premises, the F45 system can be implemented with just two instructors (one of which doubles as a manager). Written by Luke, the workouts are based on his experience of quickly getting celebrity clients in shape. Workouts are innovative and always changing to eliminate boredom.
