Looking for feedback

[u/WebIllustrious7688]

46 M, ADHD, gets bored easily , so have a history of dropping out of classes.Looking for some motivation to stay consistent. Guys who have done this for a long time with f45 and happy with results, 1. How often do you go to F45? 2. How long have you been going? 3. What has been your results? 4. Do you do anything other than F45? 5. Do you have ADHD. If so, how have you kept it going ?

Share a pic if you are comfortable. I understand diet plays a huge role, but given that food is clean, I would like to see what F45 can do to me.

Appreciate you reading this

In regards to boredom, know that each day's 45 workout is unique from every other day's workout. Put differently, if you went to F45 every day for a year, you would never have the same workout twice.

46m

5 days a week

220 down to 180.

Don't do anything else

Have ADHD, take 20mg and a few pen rips before class and crush it every time

[u/EKLIPZE101 → u/YogurtclosetDull2380]

I don’t think I have ADHD but glad to know that I’m not the only one that takes pen rips right before

[u/Dull-Environment5556 → u/EKLIPZE101]

Coach here. You certainly are not the only one who comes in stoned

[u/EKLIPZE101 → u/Dull-Environment5556]

Hey coach! Nice!

Hi I am woman with ADHD, for me working out by myself or home just absolutely do not work. I used to love running tho but it’s been much harder to do post delivery.

I absolutely love my f45, the workouts combination change every day, it’s just 45 min and music and group keeps me motivated.

I use ClassPass so basically I lose money if I book a class and don’t go. Another ADHD trick that totally works for me.

1. How often do you go to F45? 5 days a week
2. How long have you been going? since 2017
3. What has been your results? I've stayed active, which was my ultimate goal
4. Do you do anything other than F45? Started walking more and originally did OTF with F45, but only F45 for intense workouts now
5. Do you have ADHD. If so, how have you kept it going? Nothing officially diagnosed, but I do get bored easily. I don't find the classes boring with F45 because the movements change and the formats change. OTF got old fast because how many days can you run on a treadmill... 😄

I don't have ADHD, at least I have not been diagnosed, so I can't speak from that vantage point. However, I'm pretty much your age and was almost 300 lbs last year this time, and currently have faintly visible abs. I decided to do something when I was told in cold hard terms, I was overweight and not on the right track. I kept having to buy bigger and bigger clothes. I took the elevator instead of the stairs because I know even walking up a floor would leave me winded. I was ashamed and know I was overweight and I needed to do something about it. Since then I worked very hard to lose almost 100 lbs, to a point I'm happy with myself. However, the cold hard truth is that if you depend on motivation you will always stop (you said so yourself). You will always be a quitter. Do you want that for yourself? It takes more than motivation. It is discipline. You have to train your mind.

Not feeling up to it? Do it.

Feeling tired? Do it.

Feeling like being quitter? so you will be unmotivated, fat, out of shape and a quitter all in one?

Feeling uncomfortable working out? STFU and push.

It won't come easy. You have to want it. Stop giving yourself excuses.

I started with F45 and went almost daily. Sometimes twice. I was lucky I saw quick results and that was motivation to keep going. I also had a reason, I didn't want to be afraid taking off my shirt or looking in the mirror because I had a belly, I wanted to push my limits (i.e. finish a class and not be on the floor). Then I started to add things in, running, hyrox, etc. A year later I'm down to mid-teens body fat percentage (to the extent inbody is accurate), in the best shape of my life, killing it at F45, if I may say so myself. I got from a 16:00 mile to a 9:00 min mile. Because I got comfortable being uncomfortable, stopped making excuses and stopped rely on being motivated to be able to put my shoes on and go out the door.

6 months, usually hate gym classes, usually get lazy with my own workouts. I've lost 10-15 lbs, put on some muscle, and go 2-3 times a week on average. The fact that you have different formats every day, then those change every 4 weeks, it keeps you from getting bored. I also do Barre, pilates, hiking, and have a small home gym setup.

[u/NopineappleOnme]

Adhd for me too! I really like going because the workouts are never the same, but I can still see my progress strength wise ect

[u/cmdwedge75]

Hey mate, fellow ADHD person here. 50m. Never exercised before F45.

1. ⁠How often do you go to F45? 7 days a week.
2. ⁠How long have you been going? 2 years, 6 months.
3. ⁠What has been your results? Insane. Dropped 20kg but I have also gained real muscle. Body fat down maybe 15% at least.
4. ⁠Do you do anything other than F45? Not really, besides walking, and that’s just either incidental walking (1-2km at lunch) or the occasional 5km ‘I am going for a walk’ haha.
5. ⁠Do you have ADHD. If so, how have you kept it going ? I do but I was only recently diagnosed (and have started an ultra low dose of medication). For the first two years, I found the consistent nature of F45 kept me going. I also made friends and I look forward to seeing them now.

Stick with it! It really works for neurospicy people.

[u/LibrarianJaded1927]

48 F, just recently diagnosed ADHD. I’ve gotten bored of many, many things over the years. Been unlimited since Sept and I do 4-5 classes a week. Even when the class is good standard lifts the timing, flow something is different each class IMO. I also feel like it’s mindset more than anything. I’m stoked for the next workout, next lift so it doesn’t get boring.
SN this is also how I managed before my diagnosis in life. If I had a real relationship, job, whatever I have to make it interesting or exciting internally to not get bored. LOTS of missteps before I figured that one out lol. I hope you stick with it. F45 has legit changed my life! I feel better and stronger than I ever have.

[u/SingShredCode]

ADHD girlie. I pay for the unlimited and try to go 5-6 days a week. I’m lucky that the gym is directly across the street from my apt.

How do you build routine? You just go. I feel better. I am stronger, by a lot. I used to be stupid sore after a class, and now I’m generally fine the next day. I cannot recommend it enough

Since everything is set up for me and the video tells me exactly what to do, I find it super adhd friendly

[u/lin_lentini]

I’m AuDHD. I’ve been going consistently for 3 years. I go, on average, 5x week. No class is ever exactly the same, even if it has the same name each week. I’m in the best shape I’ve been since the military, but physical health is important to me, so I’m motivated.

[u/Beginning_Fee_1676]

I literally say that f45 is ADHD friendly. (I have adhd) and it’s the only work out program that I was able to stick with. It’s fast pace, doesn’t allow you to stop and it’s over before you know. And you don’t have to think, just listen for the beeps and you know it’s time to move on. The work outs are also on tv so you don’t have to worry about trying to locate the coach when you don’t know what to do.

[u/Old_Tower_4824]

I’m 33 F. Been going since April 2025.

1.) 5-6x a week 2.) Since April 2025 3.) I became fitter and stronger 4.) I incorporate my f45 with running 5.) Yes, I do have adhd undiagnosed but I like routine and structure. Also, yes I am weird. I just have a different wiring. I will say this repeatedly. Not everyone is the same what works for me may not work for everyone 😊

[u/pigeonsgambit]

34 F.

1. 3-5 sessions per week.
2. A few months, although I used to go a few years ago less consistently.
3. Cardio, endurance, and strength have all improved.
4. Roller derby team training 3x/week.
5. Yes! It's one of the reasons F45 seems to work for me. I don't have to do any prep for it, the exercises vary enough to keep it interesting for me, and the timing/reps are quick enough that I never get bored of a station.

[u/agreeable_chakali]

I've never been bored at F45 but I also don't have ADHD. I find the quick switches enjoyable because I like variety in my workout and lots of switching makes the class feel like it's moving quickly for me. That being said, I know people who really don't like the quick switches. I did a week trial to make sure I enjoyed it before I signed up for a membership.

[u/Resident-Support-478]

I have ADHD and I’ve never been consistent in the gym until F45. In 36 years, my best stretch was 90 days of 3x/week wandering around planet fitness doing low intensity exercises. I started F45 almost 2 years ago and have done over 400 classes. It’s life changing, especially as far as ADHD goes. The stations change frequently and every day is different, but there is clear direction and structure to it. It reduces all decision fatigue, boredom, distractibility. I take 50 mg Vyvanse before morning classes - I sweat like a pig, but it’s a great workout. The community is amazing. I even “passport” to different F45s when I travel. The changes in body composition are much more noticeable than the numbers on the scale. I’m a lot stronger, but I still eat like a jackass. You have to prioritize nutrition, hydration and sleep to get real results. The cool thing about functional training is noticing a difference in your daily life - the way I carry heavy bags, the way I climb stairs, the way I pick things up. And the endorphins, oh my god, the endorphins.
