Today we’d like to introduce you to Dave Preszler.
Hi Dave, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
After being laid off from “corporate America” in the summer of 2019 I wanted to pursue a business of my own. Because of my involvement in competitive cycling for many years, I knew I wanted to do something in the fitness industry.
After much due diligence, I decided that F45 Training was the way to go. I bought the Draper location and began operations in December 2019. Just as we were getting our groove on, COVID hit and we struggled for many months to keep our studio viable and our loyal members serviced. We’re now back in the groove and always looking for new members to join our F45 Draper community.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The timing of the whole COVID pandemic has been a stinker. We had to shut down for several weeks and then operate under restrictions for a while. Members took a while to get comfortable coming back to classes in a group setting.
As you know, we’re big fans of F45 Training – Draper. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
INNOVATION. MOTIVATION. RESULTS. F45 Training workouts are designed to unify the muscle groups of the body and to help make you feel and perform better in all aspects of your life.
FUNCTIONAL TRAINING
Functional Training is a classification of exercise which involves training for activities performed in daily life and is designed to help individuals move and perform better in their everyday activities. These types of exercises typically involve the use of your full body and multiple muscle groups, and consistent adherence can lead to a range of physical and emotional benefits.
INDUSTRY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY
Our workouts are fueled and organized by the robust technology systems that we have in place in all of our studios. A series of TVs mounted on the front wall of our studios provide an organized, station-by-station diagram for each daily workout. With the guidance and motivation of the F45 Trainers, this system is a visual tool for our members to progress from exercise station to station throughout the workout. Integrated with F45TV, LionHeart gives you the power to accurately track your workouts, monitor your heart rate, the percentage of your maximum effort, and the total calories burned to help you reach your true potential.
BUILDING A COMMUNITY
The employment of our functional and circuit training workouts in a Team Training atmosphere is the final factor fueling F45 Training’s dynamism. The motivation and encouragement in a Group Training facility create a pulsing, upbeat environment where goals are met and exceeded. Our members support each other with motivation, friendship, and accountability.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you.
I believe you make your own luck. Life throws a lot at each of us, e.g. COVID, but it’s all in how we deal with it.
