Many of my clients are fans of F45, which I believe is reflective of the strong global community that it has built."
He continued: "I whole-heartedly believe in the F45 Training ethos and I am looking forward to working alongside their world-class team of coaches and programmers to create even more innovative workouts for the brand."
