History Of Orangetheory Fitness

Orangetheory Fitness seeded from Ellen Latham’s Pilates classes in a spare room in her house. She wanted to know then how to burn fats fast from her client’s body knowing how Pilates don’t have any fat-burning metabolic training.

Latham then started a training called, “Ellen’s Ultimate Workout”. One of her clients told her husband how the program is well responded by people. It so happens that the husband is Jerome Kern, a businessman looking for his next investment.

Together with Kern and the present CEO David Long, Latham was able to open up her first studio in Fort Lauderdale in March 2010. Now, they are steadily growing with more franchise studios in and out of the US.

Orangetheory Fitness Review

Orangetheory Fitness is of high technology equipment as each client uses a heart rate monitor to see progress by reaching color zones and upon reaching “orange zone” you burn the most calories for “afterburn” and earn points as motivation.

This could also be a great option for those who easily get tired of the same workout routine every now and then for workouts vary from day-to-day using the treadmill, indoor rower and weight room floor.

Being crowded is also not a problem in Orangetheory Fitness since each session is only limited to less than 30 people giving the coaches more space to focus on each and every one.

Before workout, individual locker rooms are provided for storing things while working and out and after you’re done, separate showers are provided for men and women.

Though with lesser amenities, there are enough of it to enjoy the whole workout using the well-maintained and safe equipment that they have to offer. The place would be good for athletes and those who just want to stay in shape.
