Celebrity Beyond has an F45 onboard because about a year ago, the fitness chain partnered with the Royal Caribbean Group. Since the group owns Celebrity Cruises, their ships also have F45 gyms onboard. The partnership also enabled F45 to cater to the 30 million passengers who avail of the services of Royal Caribbean every year.

How the Olympian works out

As a gymnast who needs to be strong, flexible, and agile, functional fitness is a big part of Simone’s training. Since Biles requires absolute mastery of her body weight, she incorporates many full-body movements. Biles once told Women’s Health that apart from gymnastic-specific training, she also incorporates swimming, biking, running, and stretching into her training regime.
