Overview of Orangetheory Fitness
Orangetheory offers a one-hour, full-body workout focused on endurance, strength, and power training. The workout is heart rate-based interval training that burns more calories post-workout than traditional exercise due to Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) or the "afterburn" effect.
Workout Structure and Benefits
The goal is to spend time in the “orange zone” with a heart rate of 84-91% of maximum. Every minute in the orange or red zones earns a “splat point." Getting 12+ splat points means you’ll burn calories for 32 hours after the workout. The workouts vary each day, combining high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and traditional cardio to improve endurance, power, and strength.
Facilities and Membership Options
The classes include treadmills, water-rowers, weights, and bodyweight exercises like squats. Everyone wears a heart rate monitor connected to screens displaying real-time data. Members can choose from various membership packages ranging from Basic to Premier, offering different class frequencies and pricing options.
