New Functional Racks to be introduced to studios globally to empower members to take their fitness goals to the next level while staying true to F45’s signature functional training style.
F45 Training Holdings Inc., a leading global fitness community specializing in innovative, functional group workouts that are fast, fun and results-driven, today announced its newest partnership with REP Fitness — a home and commercial gym equipment supplier that specializes in strength and conditioning exercise equipment — to introduce Functional Racks to participating studios worldwide. This cutting-edge equipment enhances F45’s strength training capabilities while maintaining the core variety and high-energy experience members know and love.
The Functional Racks, designed in collaboration with REP Fitness, feature power racks, barbells, the Athena cable system, and landmines, providing members with the tools to execute foundational strength exercises such as squats, bench presses, deadlifts and more. This equipment also expands programming options by introducing cable-based exercises like rows, flies, tricep extensions, and other functional movements, ensuring the F45 workout experience remains dynamic and results-focused.
“At F45 Training, we’re committed to delivering world-class innovation to help our members achieve their fitness goals,” said Tom Dowd, the CEO of F45 Training. “The introduction of the Functional Racks enhances the strength training component of our programming while staying true to our functional training style. Strength training plays a vital role in improving overall health, supporting mobility, and contributing to long-term wellness. Its ability to complement weight loss medications like GLP-1s by helping to build and maintain muscle further reinforces our commitment to providing a comprehensive approach to fitness for our global community.”
As part of the partnership, the F45 Athletics team has created over 400 new exercises designed specifically for the Functional Racks and integrated cable system. Studios incorporating the REP Functional Racks will gain access to an exclusive new programming tier, which includes updated floor layouts, new timing structures, and fresh workout formats.
“We’re excited to partner with F45 on such a game-changing addition to their studios,” said Ryan McGrotty, the co-CEO of REP Fitness. “At REP, our mission is to empower individuals of all ages and backgrounds to live life on their own terms through the strength they gain from training. This partnership perfectly aligns with that vision. Together, we are elevating the fitness journey and redefining strength training in group fitness environments.”
F45 members worldwide can expect to see the Functional Racks in participating studios as the global rollout progresses over the next six months. These additions are a natural evolution of F45’s commitment to providing the best tools and programming for its members, combining the latest equipment with a proven functional training approach to deliver results driven workouts.
