David Beckham Files Lawsuit Against Mark Wahlberg-Backed Fitness Company – E! Online

Wahlberg first became a strategic investor in F45 Training in 2019 and was named chief brand officer of the organization in 2023.

Meanwhile, David’s partnership with F45 Training was announced in August 2021, with the retired athlete describing his bond with the Oscar nominee and sharing his thoughts on the company in a blog post. 

“I’ve been a fan of the F45 franchise and training model since being introduced by my friend, Mark Wahlberg,” he wrote on F45 Training’s website at the time. “Health and fitness have always been a big part of my life and, since my days playing football, I have always found I’m at my best when training as part of a team.”

“F45 has a strong community and trainers that help you reach your goals and achieve powerful results,” Beckham had added. “This partnership is an exciting business venture for me also, and I’m looking forward to the journey with F45 as the business continues to expand globally.”

E! News has reached out to Beckham and Wahlberg’s teams for comment but has yet to hear back.
