F45 launches first football-inspired workout

DB45 was created by David Beckham and Gunnar Peterson

Designed by global partner and investor, David Beckham, alongside chief of athletics and renowned Hollywood trainer, Gunnar Peterson, DB45 is the latest addition to the F45 timetable. It is an exhilarating 11-station, football-inspired cardio class which officially launched earlier this month. 

David said: “I have loved working alongside Gunnar and the F45 team to create DB45, my first signature workout. For me, training as part of a team has always been my favourite way to workout and my DB45 programme is influenced by exercises I did as a professional football player.

“F45 always brings innovative and effective workouts to the timetable and I’m excited for the F45 community to finally be able to try out mine.”

Inspired by his impressive career, DB45 combines exercises David used in past training sessions. Incorporating explosive, power-focused, multi-directional exercises, this 45-minute workout will see F45ers complete two sets in each station, moving through a follow the leader, football-inspired 4:4:2 class formation, with stations representing typical football positions including goal, defence, mid-field, and attack.

“Working with a professional athlete like David Beckham to create DB45 has been great fun and offers a once in a lifetime opportunity for the F45 community to train like an iconic athlete,” said Gunnar. “DB45 offers something unique to the F45 timetable. It’s the first football-inspired class for F45, which combines the unique functional exercises that makes F45 so great as well as honouring Beckham’s career – the F45 community is in for a lot of fun with this workout.”
