Simone Biles is excited to train at an F45 gym
Simone Biles recently joined an elite group of individuals who have named a Celebrity Cruises ship. The Olympian, who christened the ship Celebrity Beyond, is currently onboard the cruise. In one of her latest stories, Simone sounded excited to try the F45 gym present onboard the ship. In the story, Simone said, “We are about to go workout. They have an F45 on this ship, so we’re very excited.”
Biles sounded excited to try the F45 workout because it focuses on functional fitness and its training methods differ from conventional lifts. The fitness franchise originated in Australia. Its founder and CEO Adam J. Gilchrist, said, “We are committed to finding new and innovative ways to offer what we consider to be the world’s best workout to new and existing F45 members around the world”
As Simone loves working out, trying something new at an F45 excited her. Another reason Simone may have been so excited is that other elite names are also fans of F45. David Beckham, Magic Johnson, and Cindy Crawford have praised the functional training provided by F45. Tom Brady also showed interest after actor Mark Wahlberg invested in an F45 and gave a glowing review.
Two years ago today, Simone Biles became the most decorated World Championships gymnast in the sport’s history 🐐

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.
