Leading Australian fitness brand F45 looked ripped when it went public in 2021 with a US$1.4 billion valuation – but it has hit the wall hard since then. Here’s the untold story behind F45’s downfall – and how it can get back on top.
It was a remarkable success story for F45 to reach unicorn status in 2021, a stratosphere usually reserved for tech startups. Hell, it even had Hollywood A-lister Marky Mark Wahlberg on the cap table.
