Anyone ever heard of f45? With a good diet can it benefit doing the two?? Can you gain muscle from this type of work out???

    From a quick check of the f45 website it looks as though it is a general conditioning class.

    Your cardio will improve, as will your strength if you haven't done any resistance training in a few years.

    You are not likely to actually add much, if any, muscle.

    If it appeals to you, do it.

    A calorie deficit is what you need to lose weigh. The diet can be good bad, or indifferent, dirty or clean, just aim to fulfill your nutritional goals.

    Cheers, h

    I gained a significant amount of muscle once from learning to walk again!
    It really depends where you are starting from.

    But it's not a workout designed for hypertrophy if that's your priority.
    The amount of fashionable buzzwords on their website personally irritates me, it's marketing spin. Doesn't of course mean it's a bad workout.

    Your diet certainly supports your training but it doesn't drive muscle growth without appropriate exercise stimulus (unless maybe you are coming from a period of starvation!).
