It looks like F45 and its members are unbothered with the drama surrounding the company.

David Beckham sued Mark Walhberg for $10 million over F45 Training deal, with David's company DB Ventures claiming David was "duped" by Mark and agreed to be the firm's global ambassador. David and Mark had forged a friendship after the sportsman and his wife Victoria moved to LA in 2007, and lived in the same Beverly Hills neighborhood.

David claimed that he was promised stocks by F45 and Mark Wahlberg's company but they were withheld until after share prices dropped, which in turn allegedly lost him $10 million. The fitness company has not addressed the issue but has been promoting Walhberg Week on social media.

F45 posted a video on April 21 for what is to come in two weeks, Walhberg Week. David sued Mark three days ago. People are given the opportunity to try a free week trial at F45 that brings its "functional workouts to communities around the globe." Mark is seen in the video wearing an orange shirt and promoting the free trial.

The post captioned: "We are only two weeks away from #WahlbergWeek. As @markwahlberg says, whether it’s day 1 or day 1000, F45 is for you. Starting May 6th, F45 is making day 1 easier by offering a *free week! Tell us about your day 1 with #F45Training below! *Available at participating studios only, for new members only."

People under the comments also seemed to not care for what is going on in Mark's personal life and focusing on their health journey. One person wrote: "Loveeeeee Wahlberg week! Lets gooo." Another person wrote: "Let’s go!! Not a better workout on the planet."

In response to David's claims, Mark and F45 owners say the allegations of "fraudulent conduct" have no basis and have asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit. They are also claiming that David's company are blaming everyone but themselves. The Sun reported documents surrounding the case state the "209 page, 610 paragraph SAC [complaint] tries to make up with length what it lacks in merit."

David initially teamed up with golf star Greg Norman who also fell out with F45 but a judge reportedly insisted the pair had to sue individually.
