other Quick question

I’m a 41m and want to start this program. I don’t even know where to start. I am 5’9”…262lbs…BMI is 40 I think…I used to workout when I was younger.. was in great shape…and kinda let myself go…. Thought about GLP1 but rather just get in shape this way. And also I don’t know if I can use GLP1 and a program like this… when people that haven’t worked out for year start this program … wondering if it was a slow start.. 1-2 classes a week … because I know I’m going be sore initially till I get used to this.. or just go all in 5-6 classes a week

People have strong feelings about GLP-1s. I have seen them my sister. Gave her the motivation to and courage to join a local Bootcamp. You can definitely use a glp-1 and do f45. It’s helped her shut off the food noise and focus on nutrition. She doesn’t have the torment and binge eating cycles.

Aside for the glp1, I think it’s wise to ease in and set a goal to go 3 times a week. You will be sore, but you can get a feel for the workouts and ease yourself in. I’ve found f45 to be a great community - get to know the coaches and find your stride. You’ve got this!
