Fitness is an individual journey for everyone. Sometimes what works for one person, doesn’t work for someone else. Finding fitness means learning your options and deciding what works best for you.

What is Orangetheory?
Orangetheory is a workout that utilizes Heart Rate Based Interval Training. When you arrive at the class, you are provided with a heart rate monitor that shows your specific heart rate zones. According to the Orangetheory website, the goal is to reach at least 12 minutes of an intensity that is 84 percent of your own maximum heart rate. The workout is tailor-made for you, so you don’t have to worry about feeling overwhelmed and keeping up with anybody else.

These effects are appealing for those who do not want to have to go to a gym every day, or just want to get a little bit more out of their workout.
