Assessment Enhancements

No Weight and Modifications support
For applicable scored assessments, you are able to indicate whether you used no weights for the exercise, if you performed the recommended modification or both and it will modify your score accordingly. This means that you'll now be able to track your progress more accurately over time

Barbell Picker

To make it easier and more accurate to track any exercises that use the barbell and plates, our new picker calculates the total weight of the plates and bar without needing to manually enter this information. It also supports studios that have Olympic bars and plates in the Strength Pack.

Only applies to new assessments, opening previously completed assessments will not show this feature.

Multi-Band Support

We now support the tracking of multiple bands for exercises such as pull-ups, chin-ups and pull downs. For applicable scored assessments, the number and type of bands used will now be more accurately scored and allow you to effectively track your progress.

Only applies to new assessments, opening previously completed assessments will not show this feature.

Exercise Explore

All exercises in the Assessment section now have a redesign, with an 'Explore this Exercise' button that allows you to deep dive on the exercise, with in-depth education on how to perform the exercise, common mistakes, muscles worked and more.

Widgets

Booking Widget - Mindbody Studios Only
The Booking widget can be found on the home page of the F45 Training app. It provides quick access to book into the next available class at your studio or, if you already have a booking for the day, it will serve as a reminder of your upcoming booking.

Lionheart Widget - All studios

Also found on the home page of the F45 Training app, the Lionheart Widget shows you a snapshot of your most recent Lionheart class. Clicking on it will take you to the Lionheart section of the app to view the full report and your history. If you don't have a Lionheart, this Widget will allow you to notify your studio that you're interested in getting a device.

Payments Processing

Eligible Mindbody studios now have the ability to enable in-app payment processing for their members and choose what is available for sale for packages such as:

• Class Packs
• Memberships
• Trials

This is the first of many planned versions to expand purchasing abilities for members and people interested in joining F45. 

For this version, if you have an inactive or expired membership/class pack, simply click the class you wish to book and, if your studio has activated it, you will be able to purchase a new membership or pack and book within minutes.

Glofox Support - this will include class booking, payment and class count functionality as well as giving members the ability to see their class counts across both Mindbody and Glofox studios

Waitlist not correctly updating to reflect position

Issue: For some users, their position in the waitlist isn't correctly displaying on the 'Joined Waitlist' confirmation modal

Current state: We have released a new version of the app that should resolve this issue

Waitlist position not updating when a user is moved into class

Issue: for members that book into a waitlist and are moved into a class off the waitlist, this update is not always reflecting in the F45 Training app

Current state: Enhancements are being made to some of the systems that check Mindbody for status updates; this will not require app updates to reflect for members once completed

Workaround: Usually the status updates within the first few minutes after the change is made by the studio in Mindbody; pulling down to refresh the Book page or reopening the app can help update the status manually

Currently we don’t support booking multiple classes at once however we are investigating this and will provide updates soon.

Currently this is not supported in the F45 Training app (formerly F45 Challenge app) however it is in active testing and will be launched in the coming weeks. You can still purchase packs in the Mindbody x F45 app in the meantime.  

If you notice you're bookings are not appearing in the My Bookings tab, it may be because they have not synced yet.

If you have booked a class in other booking apps, it will take time for the booking to appear in the app visually. The booking is still booked however may not show right away. We expect bookings to sync and appear in the F45 Training app within 24 hours. 

We recommend continuing to book from the F45 Training app directly, your bookings will appear as expected in the app.

If after 24 hours your booking does not show, please raise a ticket for our team to investigate.

In some instances, when trying to book a class or a scan or access Home workouts, you’ll receive an error saying that you don’t have an active membership. To resolve this, please ensure the following:

• You have selected your studio (see instructions below).

• Your F45 Training App account email and your Mindbody account Email match.

• You have an active membership at your studio (check with your studio).

Ensure that your app is correctly linked to your studio and your membership is valid. 

**Even if it may appear highlighted, please tap your studio and try again**

1. Tap TRAIN > Book tab.

2. Your currently selected studio will be displayed in the top right corner. If this is incorrect tap to change it.

3. A Studio list will appear, these studios are those that you’ve attended or browsed the schedule for in the past. Tap the studio you wish to book with to set it as your current studio.

4. Try to book your class again.

Alternatively, you can also find your linked studios by clicking on your profile picture on the top left of the screen, then Account > My Studios.

If you still have issues, contact your studio to confirm your membership type and dates. 

To change the default calendar that is used for the Add to Calendar feature, follow the steps below

1. Tap your Profile Icon
2. Tap Update details
3. Tap Add to calendar. If you haven't already given the app permissions, it may ask you to check permissions first
4. Here you can change the Calendar that gets used when you tap the Add to Calendar button after booking a class.

If you have a class pack-style membership, you can view the number of remaining classes in the F45 Training app. The remaining classes are displayed before and after booking a class.

You can also view your remaining classes in the Profile > Membership area.

To update your email address, we kindly invite you to fill out the form linked below. Simply follow the prompts provided to guide you through the process:

Member Guided form

We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to assisting you with this update. We'll let you know once the change has been completed.

Ensure that you are logging into the F45 Training app with the same email address you are registered with for your studio; your login details, including the email and password, may or may not be the same as your Mindbody login.

Most of the time a password reset can fix up any account issues you’re having. Try resetting your password by clicking the link below.

Class counts is the newest feature for the F45 Training app, designed to show you how many classes you’ve attended at your current studio.

You can find this in the TRACK > Attendance section of the F45 Training app. 

By attending classes at your studio, you’ll earn new attendance badges with new goals to reach, whether it’s your 1st Workout badge or your Club 1000 badge. 

We’ve worked hard to deliver functionality that not only provides you with clear insight into your visits but is more accurate than any other app that has displayed this information.

You can click the ‘detailed breakdown’ button on the class count page to see your total bookings and the values deducted to reach the true class count. 

Note: Class counts are currently only supported for Mindbody studios. We are actively exploring GloFox support.

The class count includes only classes that you have been checked in for. If your studio did not check you in for a class, it will not reflect in the class count section of the app. 

We also only support Mindbody studios and classes at this time, but we are in active development to support Glofox in the near future.

The class count EXCLUDES:

• Booked classes you have not yet attended

• Classes you have attended but were not checked in for

• No-Shows

• Cancellations

• Scans

• Classes done at a studio that uses Glofox

• Classes done at studios that were closed before October 2023

As an example:

Member Bruno has:

5 classes booked in for next week

45 classes he was checked in for at a Mindbody Studio

10 classes he wasn’t checked in for

10 classes that he didn’t attend

10 classes he canceled

10 scans

10 classes at a Glofox studio

The raw total is 100 classes

The true class count of eligible classes is 45 - this is what he will see in the F45 Training app

You may notice a difference in class counts when you compare the F45 Training app to the Mindbody apps (Mindbody x F45 App and Mindbody: Fitness, Salon & Spa). 

These Mindbody apps added counts for cases that we don’t consider a legitimate class. We want to ensure the Class count metric accurately represents actual classes our members have attended. 

Below is a list of cases that are included in Mindbody-developed apps. Click here to view the list of what our F45 Training app considers a class.

The Mindbody x F45 Training app INCLUDES:

• Classes you have been checked-in for

• No shows

• Scans

• Only Mindbody classes

The Mindbody: Fitness, Salon & Spa app INCLUDES:

• Classes you have been checked-in for

• No shows

• Scans

• Attendance using the same login details at studios/services that are not F45 but use Mindbody as their billing system

As an example:

Member Bruno has:

5 classes booked in for next week

45 classes he was checked in for at a Mindbody Studio

10 classes he wasn’t checked in for

10 classes that he didn’t attend

10 classes he canceled

10 scans

10 classes at a Glofox studio

The above are the exact same raw numbers as given in the previous example here

The raw total is 100 classes 

The class count of eligible classes in the Mindbody x F45 app is 65 

We currently only support Mindbody attendance at this time and we are actively developing the support for Glofox. 

If you go to a Glofox studio, you will not see the Attendance tab in the Track section of the F45 Training app. 

If you go to a Mindbody studio that used to use Glofox, or you are a member who has done classes at both types of studios, you will see the Attendance tab, however none of the visits for Glofox studios will be counted. 

When we release support for Glofox the class counts will update to reflect the true total. 

Currently, we do not support manual adjustments of the class counts by studios

After you have checked in to your class, the latest class data will be updated and reflected in the Attendance tab within 24 hours.

During our initial early access testing period this was shown to members at participating studios however we encountered certain use cases that made the count inaccurate for certain scenarios. 

We have a solution to this however while we work to deliver an accurate and high-quality Lifetime total count we are switching off this functionality. 

What is F45 Trials?

Whether you’re an F45 novice, or 20 years into your fitness journey, this is your opportunity to train your heart out and push yourself forward. Seven days. Seven brand new performance-based workouts. Each designed for you to put your fitness skills to the test and show us what you’ve got. Over the course of the week, you’ll get the chance to complete seven workouts (or “Stages”) with paired self-reported, performance tracking via Assessments in the F45 Training App. Additionally, In Studio Leaderboards will highlight the Top 10 performing members at your studio as well as global leaderboard showcasing studios with the highest average. Completing any of the F45 Trials Stages is an accomplishment and setting your personal fitness baseline, or comparing your previous results, is more important than comparison to others!

What do I need to do?

1 Week Before Trials

• Have the latest version of the F45 Training app and have completed the Leaderboard onboarding popup to show up on the Studio Leaderboards.
• Explore the assessments in the app!

During each day of Trials

• Complete each assessment before midnight on the same day the Workout Stage is scheduled. For example you must complete the Stage 1 Assessment on Monday before midnight for your score to be recorded!
• Celebrate and share your Assessment results card via share cards in the F45 training app and tag your studio!

General

• Think of the LionHeart, Attendance and F45 Trials Assessment leaderboards as different activities you can participate in! You DON’T require a LionHeart to participate in the Assessment or Attendance Leaderboards for example.
• Note if your studio uses Glofox as a billing provider they will not have an Attendance Leaderboard but will still have LionHeart and Assessments!

What’s new or changed since the last F45 Trials?

F45 Training app

• Enhanced assessment onboarding – help provide clarity and educate how specific assessments work.
• New F45 standardized weight input picker to help you enter your results in faster and not need to remember the weight!

Global Assessments Leaderboard

• The global assessments board now uses sum rather than average to make the information more meaningful.
• Ranking will only be shown to the Top 30% of studios otherwise the Top 10 Globally will be shown.
• On the Global Leaderboard we ONLY include assessments that use the standardized picker.

Studio Leaderboards

• Introducing Leaderboard Flair!
  • Challenge Flair shown for all Challengers who registered timely in the F45 Training app.
  • LionHeart Flair shown for anyone who wore LionHeart for that week.
• We include ALL completed assessments when either the custom or standardized picker is used

F45 Trials assessments in the F45 Training App

Similar to Wahlberg Week, each day you will be able to complete a companion assessment tailored to each F45 Trials stage. You can explore these as week ahead of F45 Trials week in the Track > Assessments section. During F45 Trials week if you record a result for all the assessment exercises (shown as 100% completion) on the same day before midnight your assessment score will be recorded for your studio and, if you’re in the Top 10 for that day, displayed on the Assessments Leaderboard in your studio!

For example, take Riley who attended the Stage 1 Class in-studio on Monday. After class on the way to work and on the same day (timely) Riley accurately recorded each of their exercise results in the F45 Training mobile app for the F45 Trials Stage 1 – Female assessment (100% completion!). The next day when coming into the studio, assuming they scored in the Top 10, Riley will see themselves on the Female leaderboard.

Now take Susan who attended the Stage 1 Class in-studio on Monday as well. After class, Susan started recording their results on the way to work but forgot to complete all the exercises. The next day when coming into the studio, Susan will not see themselves on any leaderboard.

How does the assessment scoring generally work for F45 Trials?

As part of Trials Week, members will be able to track their results each day in the F45 Training App under Track > Assessments. Scoring is all handled in the F45 Training app via the Assessments feature.

The scoring itself is based on assumed weights and/or reps being used or assumed distance traveled for each scored exercise, with each exercises’ scoring being potentially weighted differently within an assessment. Adjusting the inputs will vary your score according to the inputs entered. Scoring for each day has been tailored in such a way that performance, speed and strength are weighted for the assessments objective however it does NOT take into account the individual’s performance level.

What is a “good” score?

Scoring doesn’t take into account your fitness level (New Trial-er, 100+ Classes, Age, etc) however we broadly expect the majority of members to average between 250 to 500 points and will be analyzing all the data post-Trials week to help inform and guide future workouts and assessments to keep them balanced, challenging and engaging. Completing any of the F45 Trials Stages is an accomplishment and setting your personal assessment score is more important than defining a “good” score!

When do I have to submit my assessment?

Before midnight on the same day of the assessment in your timezone. All completed assessments will be auto-submitted. The next day pop into your studio to see if you’ve made it into the Top 10 for either the male or female studio leaderboard.

What day are the assessments tied to?

• Stage 1 – Monday
• Stage 2 – Tuesday
• Stage 3 – Wednesday
• Stage 4 – Thursday
• Stage 5 – Friday
• Stage 6 – Saturday
• Stage 7 – Sunday

What if I can’t complete a particular exercise?

That’s ok! If you can’t complete a particular exercise for any reason you can now flag the exercise as ‘Did Not Attempt’ and your score will still count!

F45 Trials Leaderboards in the Studio

In addition to the F45 Trials Assessments leaderboards there are also Attendance and LionHeart leaderboards shown on TVs in your studio.

Can I customize my Leaderboard display name and picture?

Yes! You will have the opportunity to bring your own personality to F45 Trials. If you’re on the latest version of the F45 Training app you will be able to set a picture and name or anonymize it completely.

What are the icons at the end of my name?

This is flair.

• Challenge Flair shown for all Challengers who registered timely in the F45 Training app.
• LionHeart Flair is shown for anyone who wore their LionHeart for that week.

What if I’m not on the Top 10 Studio Leaderboard?

That’s ok! The F45 Training app now supports graded assessments. If your assessment result score puts you in the Top 30% of all submitted assessments after the scheduled assessment date (approximately 24-36 hours later!) we will provide you with a %. If you’re outside of the Top 30% you will not see this.

How will the Assessments Leaderboard work?

The Member Assessment Leaderboard is the primary focus for F45 Trials and rewards you based on your fitness performance. The Member Assessments Leaderboard is self-reported data and as such should NOT be relied upon as a concrete assessment of your fitness level. It is intended to be a fun way to engage our global community and provide insights for members to compare (similar to Benchmark and Playoffs). It is not intended to be an exact science.

What results are shown on the Member Assessments Leaderboard?

The Leaderboard will populate based on specific F45 Trials assessments that you complete that are 100% complete and submitted timely (on the same day before midnight). There will be a male and female version of the leaderboard. Ensure both your selected gender in your F45 Training app profile matches the assessment you complete (e.g. Male Gender and Male Assessment). You will then appear on the relevant leaderboard the following day.

How will the Global Studio Assessment Leaderboard work?

We also have Global Studio Assessment Leaderboard during Trials Week that will showcase the top studios globally based on the studio’s members’ daily and weekly sum scores (e.g. all Stages). Rankings are only shown to studios who are in the Top 30% of studios globally otherwise the Top 10 Globally will be shown.

How will the LionHeart Leaderboard work?

The LionHeart Leaderboard rewards working out in the Studio wearing your LionHeart band. Over the course of the week each LionHeart member’s points are totalled and the Top 10 highest scoring LionHeart users will be showcased.

How do you earn points?

The same way points are earned currently for LionHeart. There is no change to the LionHeart scoring system.

How will the Attendance Leaderboard work?

The Workout Leaderboard rewards working out in the Studio or performing an at-home workout via the F45 Training app. It rewards consistent weekly training habits whilst giving bonus points for in-studio group workouts.

Note that if your studio uses GloFox the Attendance Leaderboard will not be shown as we don’t have an integration yet.

How do you earn workout points?

There are three ways to earn points:

Workout Points

Every day you work out in the studio or at-home via the F45 Training app you are awarded 10 workout points. The maximum workout points you can achieve each day is 10 (or 70 for the week). You currently do not receive extra points for working out more than once per day.

Streak Points

For each 3-day consecutive workout streak in a week, you’re awarded 10 points; with an extra 10 points awarded for working out every day of the week. The maximum workout streak points you can achieve in a week is 30.

• 7-Day = 30 points
• 2 x 3-Day = 20 points (either split or back to back is fine)
• 3-Day = 10 points

In-Studio Bonus

For in-studio visits only, on certain days of the week, members will receive bonus points – this is on days where motivation is tougher as well as the more challenging workouts. The maximum in-studio workout points you can achieve in a week is 30. These points do not apply to at-home workouts.

• Monday = 10 points
• Wednesday = 5 points
• Saturday = 5 points
• Sunday = 10 points

As part of the launch of class booking in the app, we updated the logo and the name of the F45 Challenge app to F45 Training to reflect its new presence as our all-in-one app. All pre-existing functionality is unchanged and remains in the app. 

The old F45 Training app was supported by Mindbody - our studio billing provider. As the F45 Challenge app was updated to be the all-in-one F45 Training app, the Mindbody app of the same name had its name and logo updated to Mindbody x F45. All functionality remains unchanged as part of this update and members are able to continue using it.
