I had never been one for workout classes in the past as I always enjoyed performing my own workouts, but after my sister introduced me to Orangetheory Fitness, I immediately became hooked and loved the workout each class delivered me. If it were up to me, I would make sure all individuals join Orangetheory. Whether you are looking to lose weight, become more toned, or simply stay fit, OTF is the place for you. And here are six simple reasons why you must join!
1. Everyone of all Fitness levels are WELCOME
Sometimes, workout classes can be intimidating as some individuals might be extremely fit and in shape. But, at OTF there are members of all ages and sizes. In addition, you must focus on your workouts so there is no time to look around and compare yourself to others.
2. The Coaches are Motivational
One of my favorite parts has been forming a relationship with the instructors. At the beginning when only attending a handful of classes, they immediately knew my name. Now, they are always there to give me a high five after crushing a workout and are always there to help instruct me if a workout is not being done correctly or if I could be pushing myself more.
3. The Music is Phenomenal
I have spend an absurd amount of time trying to find their playlists on Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music... you name it. Each class provides new music that is extremely upbeat and will make you want to dance while also push yourself to do your best.
4. The Heart Rate Monitors Help You Analyze Your Workout
I am someone who enjoys tracking my steps and by being mandatory to have a heart rate monitor, one is able to monitor how many calories are burned, heart rate, and how long you were in a certain heart rate zone. It is great for keeping track of your goals. In addition, OTF offers an app where you can keep track of each and every workout.
5. The "After Burn" Effect
The science behind the program Orange Theory is “excess post-exercise oxygen consumption” (EPOC). If you are able to keep your heart rate in the 'orange' zone for at least 12 minutes you will continue to burn more calories after your workout. This means true, effective results!
6. Simplicity of Booking a Class
The Orangetheory App easily allows you to book or cancel a class. In addition, you can sign up for as many classes as you desire for the next couple of weeks!
