Just under a year ago, Chris Webby made the decision to better his health and joined F45 Airlie Beach.
He is now the first member to hit 250 visits.
Since his first class, where he had to sit out early, Chris has improved not only in endurance but also in his overall strength and physique, with the added benefit of losing 20 kilograms.
“The first three to four months was a struggle,” Chris said.
“It was definitely intense going from doing nothing to working out almost every day.”
Since he joined in August last year, Chris has committed to going six days a week, every day except Sunday, when the gym is closed, and when he holidays away.
“Chris has always been dedicated,” said Studio Manager Monique Pattison.
“I feel like I started yesterday!” said Chris.
“The team at F45 give you everything, unlike a regular gym, where they’ll tell you something and you have to do it all by yourself.”
The team continue to push Chris.
“They’re friendly, non-judgemental, and encouraging and they know when to push you,” he explains.
“I’ll do a push up now and they’ll put a 15-kilogram plate on my back!”
“It feels really great,” Monique said, “To know that someone is trusting us with their fitness journey.
“And to come 250 times, it shows a level of commitment, and that what we’re doing is helping people.
“Chris has built muscle and strength, and has had aesthetic changes, and he always walks in here with a smile and welcomes everyone. He has really embraced the F45 community.”
