Orangetheory Fitness is a one of a kind group-trainingbrworkout. The result is more energy, visible toning, and extra calorie burn forbrup to 36 hours after the workout. Sound toobrgood to be true? The folks at Orangetheory Fitness thought you might say that,brso they have instated a money-back guarantee if you do not see results afterbrone month.

If you’ve ever been to a group fitness class, youbrknow that the instructions and intensity level can be general, making itbrdifficult to know if you are getting the most from the workout. Orangetheory’sbrapproach to group fitness is unique because even though the sessions arebrfocused on endurance and strength, their trainers know that everyone is not onbrthe same level. The classes are structured with a set training schedule based around eachbrindividual’s heart rate. Thebr“orange zone” is the heart rate range in which a person needs to be working outbrto achieve the Orangetheory “afterburn,” whichbris the number of calories burned up to 36 hours post workout. The afterburn is essentially what OrangetheorybrFitness is known for and why this workout is such a huge hit across thebrcountry.

The technology used to track the heart rate zones isbron the cutting edge of fitness. Results are tracked in real time for each clientbrand displayed on a television screen. Atbrany given time, you can see your intensity level and balance your workout basedbron where your heart rate is tracking.

The first Orangetheory Fitness location is scheduledbrto open by the end of the year, andbrCorpus Christians are already getting excited about it. “What people love aboutbrthis type of workout is the dynamic nature of a fun group training whilebraddressing the needs of a personal training approach,” says Corpus Christibrstudio manager, Craig Myers. “We are all about personalized customer service.brEven though we are a global brand, we have a community feel just like a small,brlocal business would have.”
brbr
Unlike other gym memberships, Orangetheory Fitnessbrdoesn’t lock you into long-term contracts. They want to earn your businessbrevery single month so their training subscriptions are month to month. What’sbrnot to love about that?
