Serving Those Who Serve: F45 Training Honors Veterans by Creating Special Franchise Opportunities Within the Company

F45 Training is proudly offering a 50 percent discount on the initial franchise establishment fee for past and current service members interested in Franchising a studio

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--F45 Training Holdings Inc. – a leading global fitness community specializing in innovative, functional group workouts that are science-based, community-focused and results-driven – is reaffirming its unwavering dedication to supporting the proud men and women in military service by offering unique entrepreneurial opportunities through various programs.

Since 2020, F45 has empowered and encouraged veterans and active-duty members with an interest in becoming a business owner by providing the opportunity to become an F45 franchisee with special 50 percent discount on the regular franchise fee through the Company’s Veterans Impact Program 45 (“VIP45”). This special program has provided countless service members with resources such as mentorship, business training and access to the company’s robust support network – aligning with the brand’s core mission to aid in building generational wealth and creating long-term financial stability for members of the military community.

“We take tremendous pride in the positive impact the programs continue to have on the lives of veterans. Through the years, F45 has witnessed service members take full advantage of this incentive and successfully transition into ownership roles, which has led so many to grow and thrive within the F45 family,” said Michael Nichols, F45 Military Director. “We are dedicated to giving our veterans [and active-duty members] equal opportunities to succeed and start the next chapter in reacclimating into civilian life.”

Additionally, F45 launched an internship program to prepare veterans for success and transition into the fitness industry. SkillBridge Fitness Internship Training Program – a Department of Defense- approved initiative – has successfully trained more than 1,000 service members, equipping each participant with the skills and knowledge to excel in various roles at F45 – from trainers to managers and franchisee owners. The experience and structure of the internships has paved the way for many to become successful owners.

“With internships such as SkillBridge, F45 continues to offer resources for individuals searching for ways to enter entrepreneurship, learn more about the fitness industry and achieve their dreams,” Nichols continued. “Another pillar of the F45 community is to ensure that our service members – whether active or retired – are set up for success.”

F45’s commitment to the military also extends beyond franchise ownership and in-studio work experience. The Company is actively expanding its presence on military installations, offering convenient access to its high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs and FS8 Pilates-based training. With two studios currently at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, F45 provides military personnel and their families with the essential tools for maintaining physical and mental fitness.

“We're incredibly proud of the enduring relationship we've forged with the military community," said Tom Dowd, CEO of F45 Training. "From offering world-class fitness programs on installations to empowering service members to become franchise owners, we're committed to supporting them at every stage of their journey."

“As a veteran myself, it’s incredible to be part of an organization that has built such a solid foundation for service members to thrive and excel in the fitness industry, whether they’re looking to join as aspiring trainers or take the leap into ownership entrepreneurs,” said Noah Galloway, F45 Athlete. “I’m so proud to be a member of the F45 community, one that is so dedicated to providing veterans and active-duty members with the opportunity to build fulfilling careers after their military service.”

F45 Training, rated the No. 1 gym chain in the U.S. by Men's Journal in 2023, combines elements of functional workouts and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), with members able to complete each of the workouts at their own pace. Thousands of functional movements make the workouts different each time and are a proven concept to help members achieve the best results.
