## Story

Additionally, F45 has signed an agreement with Onfit Training College, which offers personal training certification specific to the Australian market. The deal will provide preferred pricing for franchisees and staff in Australia seeking personal trainer certification, and health and fitness accreditations.

“We are thrilled to offer our franchisees and staff preferred pricing through the ISSA partnership in the U.S. and Onfit deal in Australia. Having certified personal trainers is vital to our business and the success of F45 franchisees, and the lower certification costs from reputable organizations will enable individuals to become personal trainers at a more accessible price point – which will make it easier for franchisees to keep current and future gyms staffed,” said Adam J. Gilchrist, President, CEO, and Chairman of F45

Preferred pricing will be available for numerous courses, including the personal trainer certification, continuing education courses, and specializations. The discounted rates on ISSA courses will enable significant savings on high-quality education for franchisees and trainers, allowing them to scale faster and more efficiently.

Through this partnership, the ISSA will also add the resumes of certified personal trainer graduates that are seeking jobs to F45’s internal job board, Academy. In an effort to develop the next generation of certified personal trainers, the ISSA has also agreed to provide full scholarships for 20 personal trainer certifications at each of the approximately 35 colleges that currently have an F45 gym on campus.

“We have certified many highly-qualified F45 trainers to date, and we know that this partnership will increase access to top-rated certifications so the company can continue offering high-quality training to its members,” said Andrew Wyant, CEO of ISSA. “We believe that promoting a healthier world starts with providing opportunities for fitness-motivated individuals, and we are proud to play a small part in expanding F45’s roster of certified personal trainers.”

“We are excited to partner with F45 to ensure that their trainers are providing members in Australia with high-quality, accurate training every time they work out,” said Don Bacchi, Owner, and Director of Onfit Training College.
