workouts that drives results by Steve Gamel
W
hen Fernando Laredo and his wife moved to Corinth in 2001, there wasn’t much going on in the Lake Cities area just yet. Whether it was to get something to eat, go shopping for something specific, or even getting in a decent workout, the Laredos were sometimes forced to venture outside of their young community to find what they needed.
But the potential for what was to come was always there, which is why they didn’t bat an eye when opening their F45 Training franchise in 2017. Ever the pioneers, the Laredos wanted to give their neighborhood something it didn’t have. “We could have had our pick of any territory to start in, but we thought, ‘Let’s put something here in Corinth — at home,’” said Fernando, who is both the owner and a trainer. “We wanted to put something on the map here and grow it.” Taking the chance paid off, and now residents of Corinth and the rest of the Lake Cities have a wildly popular, one-of-a-kind workout experience right down the
road — and those who have tried it are hooked. Unlike traditional box gyms or facilities that focus on either strength training or cardio, F45 Training Corinth delivers a structured and 100% functional total-body workout in under an hour by incorporating a mix of circuit and HIIT-style group workouts. The “F” stands for functional, and the “45” represents the number of minutes it takes to get through the workout. F45 offers on-site certified personal trainers to guide you every step of the way. They also offer a state-of-the-art nutrition portal called F45 Challenge that gives members access to meal plans, recipes, and more. “It’s a great combination of strength, cardio, and total body sessions six days a week, and clients can focus on what they want,” Fernando said. “If they want strength training, they can come in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and if they want a total body blast, they can come in every single day. Doing this gets results faster because we are targeting everything.” 940.222.8700
