| - The theory behind orange theory is that you burn more fat if you work out in an "orange" zone. It goes: grey, green, orange, and red. Grey is resting, green is comfortable working out, orange is pushing it, and red is craziness. They give you a heart rate monitor so you can see exactly what level you are at every minute of the workout on large screens throughout the gym. Nobody needs to tell you to go harder or push more, because you can look up and see that you need to go harder or faster. It's fascinating.
At first, I thought I was dying when I started out. Well, I still think I'm dying. But I keep coming back for more. I definitely recommend it to everyone I know. It's fun to physically see your progress and know 100% how you did at the end of each class.
I've only really interacted with the trainer Sunny, but I've heard the rest of the Gilbert trainers are fun. I adore Sunny though.
One thing I should mention! They have cancellation fees. If you don't cancel or reschedule your class within 12 hours, you'll have to pay a fee. I personally like that, because it makes you more accountable, but I can see that some people would have issues with it.
