F45 Training was founded in 2011 in Epping, Sydney, Australia by Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch.
It pioneered functional 45-minute group workouts combining high-intensity interval training (HIIT), cardio, and resistance training.
The brand quickly gained traction, becoming one of the fastest-growing fitness franchises globally, with a presence in over 60 countries and more than 1,700 studios worldwide.
F45’s success is partly due to its innovative blend of technology, community engagement, and a franchise-friendly, scalable business model.
