Is the F45 8-Week Challenge Worth the Money?
One Editor’s Honest Thoughts on Whether the F45 8-Week Challenge Is Worth It
9
At the end of each F45 8-Week Challenge, there is an option to do a fitness test (The Playoffs) and a full-body composition scan (for an additional £20). The Playoffs is a 10-minute fitness test, which is essentially a circuit involving 10 common gym exercises (the rowing machine, bench hops, and sit-ups, for example) and is a helpful tool used to measure progress made throughout the challenge. You'll take the test on day one of the challenge and again at the end of the challenge. This was a really helpful tool for me, because I was able to clearly measure my goals that weren't weight- or aesthetic-related. The bottom line? I was a little bit stronger, a little bit quicker, and could do a few more reps than the first time around, which felt really good.
I also opted to have the full-body composition scan, which showed that I didn't lose any weight on the scales over the course of eight weeks, but my body fat percentage decreased, and my lean muscle mass increased. Those results were in line with my goals going into the challenge, so I was happy, especially since I felt like I was less bloated overall and had gained more confidence in the gym.
