Orangetheory Fitness

You will probably work out today. How did you do? It’s hard to know.
Orange Theory is different because you are hooked up to a heart monitor and your results are posted on tvs in the gym. The actual theory is based on going orange or maxing your heart rate so you burn more calories
It is pretty transparent and difficult
The gym itself is about 2500 square feet with treadmills, rowing machines, TRX and some weights. If you are a first timer like me, know that you will probably use all of them
Yesterday’s workout was 8 minute intervals, 2 minutes base, 3 minutes fast, 1 minute all out and 1 minute slow on a tread
Then 3 combination progressive weight routines that seemed to become more difficult. You also will be staring at a monitor tracking your progress by heart rate
We finished with rowing for a great total body workout. You can review your workout at the gym… they will send a summary by email
As I said, it is honest, tough and transparent. It is a good alternative to the same old workout
Update:
I still believe in the technology… however if the science is about Orange zoning then it is impossible without the treadmill for fit people
I was booted off the tread this morning as I am not sure the procedures in this class. After rowing and some weights, I was not even close to orange
So really… what is the point? I walked out

This has to be the best OTF I’ve visited. This is not my home studio I typically use the other boca location. And I like them as well, just here its nicer and more organized.
They have a system of selecting your treadmill by number. You pick up a card at the front and that’s your machine, and when it’s time to row you go to the corresponding rower and weights/​trx/​bench. It’s all set up in order. It makes it much easier to transfer to the different stations with a system like that in place.
The front desk people are nicer. They know their clients. They did not recognize me and asked me if it was my home studio when I told them it wasn’t they took the time to introduce themselves to me. I was WOWed. I’ve been going to my OTF studio for a yr and i have no clue the names of the people In the front desk.
It’s newer/​nicer equipment. This studio is only 1 yr old. The equipment is brand new and updated.
Both times I’ve taken a session here the trainers were great motivators. If anyone in the west boca area is looking to try OTF, stop in here, it’s a great location.

A lot of fun and an exhausting brilliant work out. Only tried one trainer, only ever had too. Danielle, who kicked my ass but who was also very helpful, motivating and fun (with a very interesting mixed bag of funky tunes ;-) — loved the mix of Kiesza and some trip hop blues.

Amazing studio! Best staff and trainers! There is no work out like it!

Great trainers! Well run OTF! Always clean and is state of the art. They do offer a lot of class times, so can work with any schedule. Parking is easy. All around great location! Can’t wait until my next class!
