Starting your F45 journey? Whether you’re new to functional fitness or just trying out F45 for the first time, knowing what to bring can make your workout smoother and more enjoyable. Here’s the ultimate checklist to ensure you’re prepared for your first F45 session.

1. Proper Workout Attire

F45 workouts are intense, so wear moisture-wicking, breathable fabrics that allow full range of motion. Opt for:

• A fitted, sweat-resistant top and bottoms (shorts, leggings, or joggers)

• Comfortable, breathable socks

• A supportive sports bra (for women)

2. The Right Footwear

Functional training requires stability, so choose shoes designed for cross-training rather than running shoes. Look for:

• Flat-soled trainers for better grip and support

• Lightweight and cushioned design for comfort

3. A Large Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is crucial during high-intensity workouts. Bring a large, refillable water bottle to keep up with your hydration needs throughout the class.

4. Sweat Towel

Expect to sweat—a lot! Most F45 studios require a towel, so bring a small gym towel to wipe off sweat between exercises.

5. Heart Rate Monitor (Optional but Recommended)

F45 uses the LionHeart heart rate monitor system, which tracks your performance in real time. If you own one, bring it to monitor your effort and progress.

6. Post-Workout Essentials

After an intense 45-minute session, you may want to freshen up. Pack:

• A change of clothes

• Deodorant and body wipes

• A protein shake or snack for recovery

7. The Right Mindset

Most importantly, bring a positive attitude and team spirit! F45 workouts are designed to be fun, motivating, and high-energy, so come ready to give it your best effort.
