Orangetheory Fitness is a highly differentiated, interval fitness concept that combines heart rate monitored training and in-class technology for one of the most efficient workouts ever created. The full body workout utilizes treadmills, rowers, weights and more to help members elevate their heart rate to the “Orange Zone” or 84-91 percent of their estimated maximum heart rate. Twelve minutes in the Orange Zone raises your heart rate and makes you burn more calories for up to 36 hours. When wearing the OTbeat heart-rate monitors, real-time results are displayed on large screens in the studio. The Orangetheory system has experienced tremendous growth since the concept was rolled out in 2010, having opened over 1,100 studios with no closures and was ranked #60 in Inc. magazine’s Fastest Growing Private Companies List.
