Orangetheory is a science-backed, technology-tracked, coach-inspired group workout designed to produce results from the inside out. You’ll get the energy of a group workout with the attention and inspiration from an experienced personal coach.

Perhaps you’ve tried a gym or fitness routine in the past that just felt like a dead end – no guidance, no inspiration, and no results. We want you to know that it’s not you, it’s your workout. You can still achieve your goals to become a fitter, stronger, better version of yourself.

Spin classes aren’t made for Tour de France contenders (well, maybe some are, but not your average class). They are for everyone from beginner to advanced levels of fitness. Classes generally focus on metabolic intervals, light resistance to heavy resistance, so your legs burn and are challenged, but never feel too fatigued. Interval training gets the heart rate up so you can burn more calories in less time. It may hurt a little to walk up and down the stairs after class, but who doesn’t love knowing they worked hard?
