AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--F45 Training Holdings Inc., a leading global fitness community known for innovative, high-energy group workouts, announced today its latest expansion of the Company’s ongoing partnership with Dr. B, a leading telehealth provider focused on affordable access to healthcare. With over 42 percent of American adults classified as obese, which is linked to leading causes of preventable deaths such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, F45 Training is committed and dedicated to addressing these health challenges. This partnership aims to position F45 Training as the ultimate destination for individuals who currently use, or plan to use, prescription weight loss medications and are seeking a holistic approach to fitness and nutrition.
The new program combines Dr. B’s medical care and effective GLP-1 medications – including compounded Semaglutide (active ingredient in Wegovy® and Ozempic®) and Tirzepatide (active ingredient in Zepbound® and Mounjaro®) – with virtual, on-demand fitness and nutrition tools from F45 Training’s app to deliver a holistic, sustainable approach to weight loss and muscle maintenance.
“F45 Training is dedicated to empowering all people to achieve sustainable health and longevity,” said Tom Dowd, CEO of F45 Training. “While GLP-1 medication is not suitable for everyone, it can be a valuable tool for some individuals on their weight loss journey. This partnership ensures access to resistance training and nutrition programs essential for successful outcomes. Without these components, up to 50 percent of weight loss during GLP-1 treatments can come from muscle instead of fat. Our program is designed to help participants retain muscle, maximize fat loss, and support bone health.”
"GLP-1 medications empower many people to lose weight and reduce their cardio-metabolic risk factors, and through our provider-led program, we make sure patients have all the materials and support they need to take their treatment safely and confidently at home," says Cyrus Massoumi, Founder and CEO of Dr. B. "But we believe medication is only part of the equation. Promoting behaviors that lead to sustainable health and longevity is our goal. We're thrilled that this program offers patients everything they need to get there."
Program fees start at $249 per month, and include:
- A monthly consultation with a licensed medical provider.
- Unlimited check-ins with licensed medical providers and the Dr. B support team.
- Prescription compounded weight loss medication and injection materials delivered to the patient’s door via express shipping.
- Medical materials that include printed pamphlets, an email support series, a comprehensive patient packet, and exclusive health articles.
- Access to the F45 Training app for at-home workouts, curated nutrition plans, dietitian-created recipes, and progress tracking.
- Exclusive discounts to upgrade to a F45 Training in-studio membership.
- A Letter of Medical Necessity to unlock pre-tax HSA/FSA funds for the prescription weight loss program or F45 Training membership fees.
- Blood work lab fees at Quest Diagnostics (annually).
F45 Training invites all individuals seeking a healthier lifestyle, including those currently using or considering weight loss medication, to join a supportive fitness community dedicated to functional strength training, nutrition, and wellness. To find your local F45 studio, visit f45training.com.
