F45 Training Marda Loop

Glen hits 500 classes! An incredible member who recently won one of our challenges we are super proud of this legend!

We asked Glen about his journey to 500!👇

What's your favorite class/classes?
"A few! Original ones: Angry Bird, Romans, SOHO. New ones: 22, High-rise and Medusa!"

Favorite class time?
"I Like the flexibility of times but probably 7:45 or 8:45am"

Results you've seen while training with us? "Initially helped in recovery from an Achilles rupture and got me back to health. Secondly, recovery from a recent ACL replacement and Meniscus repair after a year away. Overall increase in muscle mass and fitness levels!"

"What Keeps you coming back?
"The consistency that has been built at F45 Marda Loop.. Always know there are great owners, coaches, motivated and positive team members every time I walk in that door. The diversity: a person can be training beside a pro or olympic athlete one class, a soon to be Mother, an old guy like me or a first timer! Anybody can be included and can push themselves!"

"Oh and the tunes are always epic! 😁"

Glen! We are so happy to be part of your recovery and fitness journey! You being great vibes and a strong worth ethic to every session! Keep crushing it! 🤩💪

Meet Coach Chris, (aka: Lebs) — From Podium to Pods - it's not everyday you are able to announce a new trainer as a Olympic medal athlete!! 🤩

If you’ve spent any time at F45 Marda Loop, chances are you’ve sweated it out beside Chris — he's clocking in at nearly 500 sessions and counting. But he’s not just a fixture on the studio floor; Chris is an Olympic medal-winning athlete and coach who now brings his elite-level mindset, coaching chops, and contagious energy straight into your workouts. 💪

Before joining the F45 coaching crew, Chris was running the show (literally) as manager and instructor at his family-owned boutique gym. A born entrepreneur, he’s always chasing what’s next — and trust us, it’s going to be big.

Raised in the Okanagan, Chris grew up switching gears with the seasons — tearing up singletrack trails on his mountain bike in summer and carving lines down the slopes in winter. These days, when he’s not leading from the front in class, you’ll find him road biking, hiking, skiing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, or cruising Calgary’s river pathways on his electric skateboard — always in motion, always in adventure mode.
Expect tough love, expert form checks, and the kind of motivation that’ll push you past your limits. Step into the studio and let Coach Chris take your training to the next level. Game on. 🚀

Needless to say we are super excited to have Chris join our training team! He brings incredible knowledge, experience and energy to every session! Welcome aboard coach!

Jon hits 500 classes with an incredible F45 transformation to go with it! Check it out on the next slide---➡️ 🤩💪

We are super proud of what he has accomplished and asked Jon about his journey to 500!👇

What is you favourite class?
"I like the he strength days but lately have been enjoying the hybrid classes to get some cardio going in the winter!"

Favourite class time?
"Somehow I still keep doing the 545am class, such a good way to start the day and it’s nice going into the day knowing I have already knocked out a workout!"

Results you've seen since training with us
( pretty obvious!)
" Thr biggest change has been strength, I’ve put on a lot of muscle and dropped fat and I’m no longer focused on the scale. It’s more about overall health and how strength training factors into how you feel (might need some bigger dumbbells) haha"

What keep you coming back?
"It’s such a good environment, regardless of how I might feel walking in, it’s easy to get motivated when you see the same people every morning putting in work. Love all the trainers too, such a good group of people always pushing you to keep achieving gains!💪"

Jon! You are a living example of what F45, consistency and commitment can do! Keep grinding and inspiring!! 🎉🤩👏

Today we had the pleasure of providing a private class for these epic humans at MNP accounting services!

Such a great group that showed up and worked hard as a TEAM! Lots of sweat and high five's! 💦✋💪
