After not being very active for several years, needless to say, I was a nervous wreck walking into an actual class amongst people that have probably been doing this forever (at least in my mind they were lol) I spoke with the coach (Lorenzo) advised him that this was going to be my first class and I was horrified and he assured me I would be ok. The workout was challenging and I felt that I was literally pushing myself to the MAX. However every time I felt like giving up, Lorenzo, like magic, was right there to tell me how great I was doing, which was fuel to push through. When I felt that things were moving way to fast for my physical capability, out of nowhere Lorenzo would be there to tell me \"go at your own pace, you're doing great\" he was there to help me learn to adjust my settings to get the maximum workout for ME. I realized then that this program is much different from any other workout I'd ever tried before. It's about pushing YOU at your own pace to be YOUR best and to maximize YOUR workout. I was pleased with the coach but EVERYONE in that building made me feel like family from the moment I walked in the door, a nervous wreck. I walked out feeling like part of a family and like a champ. The key takeaway from this review is, that Orangetheory is not just about a class, it's not about numbers on a board, it's not about rank, shockingly it's not even just about a workout. At Orangetheory it's all about YOU! They are dedicated to making sure YOU get the most out of YOUR workout as YOU possibly can and most of all that YOU feel good about yourself while doing so. I am pleasantly surprised that I found a workout home that is actually dedicated to little old ME"^^ . "0"^^ .
