In LOVE with OrangeTheory Fitness! A few friends recommended the workout to me - they loved it and thought I would, too.
The workout FLIES by. I'm someone who finds myself getting antsy in a 1 hr yoga class but OTF classes are over so quickly because you're always changing your movement. It's an interval based training with cardio + strength circuits. At the beginning of each class, you'll review the day's workout and start with either cardio or strength. Halfway through, you switch.
During the workout, you wear a heart rate monitor (the gym has a few loaners if you don't own one) and you can check in with your effort on the TV screens. I'm a gal who loves being able to look at data to better understand something to seeing how much effort I'm actually giving during certain exercises is really fascinating! At the end of class, you can review your times in each HR zone.
There are so many classes scheduled throughout the day - from 5a to 745p so it's super easy to find a time that's convenient for you. This location is great, too - lots of street parking!
What I loved most about this workout (besides the data), is the intensity - it reminded me of high school sports practice! Everyone is working hard towards a common goal and knocking out their circuits.
Highly recommend this workout; the trainers are great, the participants are great, the workout is hard but leaves you feeling GOOD. Tired but GOOD!
