Ribbon cutting held for new fitness club in Amherstburg

noting they open at 5 a.m. with the last class at 8 p.m. “It’s extremely exciting to have a place where anyone can come. Any age or fitness level can come here.”

There are seven trainers at the present time, Novakowski said, with the goal of increasing that total to ten. There are two trainers per class, she stated.

There is an F45 app, Novakowski continued, and people can book through that or see if a particular class is full. If a class is full, people can pick another time, she said.

The F45 Training location in Amherstburg opened earlier in March with a grand opening planned for March 18 from 12-3 p.m. Novakowski said she works a full-time job already but opened another F45 Training location because she loves it.

“This is a passion project for me,” she stated. “Our main mission is to try and make it as affordable as possible. Every class doesn’t feature the same exercise.”

A new fitness facility has opened in Amherstburg.

F45 Training has opened at the corner of Sandwich St. S. and Alma St. The local franchise owner is Gillian Novakowski said she enjoys the fitness program F45 training offers and wanted to bring it to Amherstburg.

“I actually started the F45 in Tecumseh three years ago,” Novakowski explained. “I just fell in love with the program. It was fantastic.”

Workouts last 45 minutes – except Saturday when classes last one hour – and the support received by trainers during the sessions made it the studio for her. She said she’s had success doing the F45 Training program and wanted to bring their style of fitness and workouts to town.

“I thought it would be a great addition to the community,” she said.

Novakowski said there is a DJ present on Saturdays to add to the enjoyment. There are challenges that participants can become involved in and numerous televisions are set up around the studio measuring everything from heartrate and calories to which exercise should be done at a particular time.

Trainers can make workouts harder for people who are more athletic, Novakowski stated, though she emphasizes all are welcome. Cardio classes are normally Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday with strength classes Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

“We have great hours,” she said,

The grand opening and ribbon cutting was held last Saturday afternoon. Mayor Michael Prue cut the ribbon and said it was exciting to see F45 Training choose to operate in Amherstburg.

“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” said Prue, “for having faith in the town and the opportunities you’re bringing. We look forward to you being here for a long time. Together, we will move the town forward.”
