Why F45 is the Workout Shanghai Has Been Waiting For

2017-07-27 ShanghaiWOWeng


F45 has finally made its way to Shanghai, and you should be excited. Born in Australia, F45 Training is a team-based, functional training. It combines elements of circuit training, functional movements, and HIIT. They promote it as being suitable for all ages and body types, with a team training atmosphere and constant motivation from trainers. No program is ever repeated, making every workout a unique experience.

 

 

The workout is 45 minutes, and has three stations that you rotate through. Each station has three exercises, and you do each for 45 seconds, and rest for 15 seconds before moving to the next exercise. After you complete four rounds of those three exercises, you have a one minute water break before you switch stations.



The one room studio in Jiashan Market is fully equipped with brand new equipment, and screen monitors at the front show you how to properly do the exercises and count down the seconds. The gym is equipped with bathrooms, showers, and water to rehydrate you.

 


I went for their VIP media night, and loved every minute of the workout. We were separated into different three person teams, and completed the stations next to one another. The trainers walked around shouting encouragements, endearingly referring to us as “team”. They would also correct our movements and challenge us to use a heavier weight or push a little harder.



I really enjoyed the workout overall; the team spirit helped push us through the stations, and the brief sets of each exercise give you more motivation to keep going until the last second. There’s no room to get lazy or bored, as you are constantly moving. All of the exercises targeted different muscle groups so you’re getting a well-rounded workout. Safe to say the workout works, as I can barely move the day after.



If you’re looking for a short but powerful workout, check out F45. They officially open on Saturday, July 22nd, and are already starting to get booked up. Follow them on WeChat to get a two week free trial (TWO WEEKS!) and join the team.

 

Prices after the trial: single session 200rmb, 1 month unlimited 1688 rmb, 6 months unlimited 9,360 rmb.
