F45 is currently selling Foundation Memberships with an anticipated Grand Opening of their Northeast Heights gym in January 2020. The fitness program, based on 45-minute functional training, was originally developed in Australia and has gained support from professional athletes and celebrities, most famously Mark Wahlberg who has been known to pop into classes across the country.   F45 Training merges three separate leading-edge fitness training styles – high-intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training, and functional training – into one, consummate and compelling group training experience for our members. This fusion has led to the development of 36 unique, 45-minute workout experiences, no workout is ever repeated.

Markets close to New Mexico have seen the successful introduction of this concept including Phoenix, Austin, Denver and Dallas.  Owners Jeremy and Kendall Harris, Albuquerque natives, are experienced business owners and athletes.
