Tiago Magalhaes walked into F45 Vasse to complete some personal training courses and within two days he knew that the guys behind F45 had come up with a way to deliver the general population the type of training that was once only available to elite athletes.
"I was extremely impressed by the whole experience, from the moment you download the F45 training app to how you book your classes on the app, arriving in the studio, the warm-ups, the music, how challenging the workouts were and the motivation, I have always worked out in the gym but sometimes it felt like it was because I had to, with F45 is completely different the whole thing feels like a game, you have fun, your mind plays games with you, there is a team environment, it really challenges you," Tiago said.
"I knew F45 was on the way to change the fitness industry on a global scale."
Tiago opened F45 Margaret River just over two years ago and prides himself on making a positive impact on people's lives.
"We are constantly meeting new people, establishing a relationship with our clients while building a community, we call it our F45 family," Tiago said.
"We provide high-intensity interval training classes in a team training environment where the classes are 45 minutes long."
"Monday, Wednesday and Friday we run cardio classes, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays we run resistance classes and Saturday's class is the only class which is an hour long and is a hybrid class."
"It is functional training and suits everybody from someone who has had a sedentary lifestyle for the last 10 years to high-performance athletes."
"We have members aged from 16 to 65."
"We have more than 4000 exercises, the classes are designed by the industry's top sports and exercise scientists, the whole program is excellent, F45 is committed to providing its members with the highest technology, we keep innovating and we are the best at motivating with the goal to give our members the very best results."

"As trainers we have all the time to focus on our members form, getting to know them and being in charge of motivating them, giving them regressions, progressions and/or modifications, we don't have to spend time on planning as it is all done for us, the technology is amazing, we have a daily playlist done by a F45 Headquarters DJ and no workout is ever the same."
"We have just introduced F45 prodigy for 11 to 17-year-olds which we are very excited about; if a teenager wants to have a serious go at being an athlete, they should be doing F45 along with their sport, it's that simple."
F45 also runs eight-week challenges four times a year and put a lot of effort into them.
"Once members go through a detox phase, an alkaline diet and they start to experience the benefits of clean eating and high-intensity interval training (more energy throughout the day, higher quality sleep, more productive in their business or work etc) they create new habits, their body completely changes and they don't want to go back to their old habits," Tiago said.
"As trainers, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing our members achieving results they haven't been able to achieve before, you can see so many people gaining more confidence, they become stronger physically, mentally and happier."
"For me, this is the most important thing, the positive impact on mental health, it goes way beyond looking good, the endorphins you get from F45 workouts are extremely powerful."
"Mental health is a serious issue, it's in every community, it can hit anyone, it affects so many people and at F45 you get high on endorphins every day, people go from doing some type of exercise to training like an athlete, you make lots of friends, there is a strong sense of community and it's a supportive environment, F45 is team training and it really is life changing."
With his background in team sports, Tiago prides himself on treating everyone as a member of the team.
"We make decisions for an outcome that is always better for the team, it is never about a single individual, we know every single person's name, we are always trying to be better at motivating our members, we are consistently challenging them, getting them out of their comfort zone, we make sure they are progressing and we know the importance of acknowledging their accomplishments."
"We genuinely care about our members and we want to help them take their health and fitness to the next level, before and after class there is always time to socialise, we joke, we have a laugh but once the class starts it's on, it's all about our members getting the best workout and they are getting results, that is our culture, we want to give our clients the very best F45 experience."
"Our members make the studio so special."
