Orangetheory Offers Fresh Approach to Working Out

If you're looking for a unique, personalized, and focused approach to working out, Orangetheory Fitness in Moore might be just the thing. Studio Manager and Head Coach Aspen Neely says workouts in their studio can help meet the needs and goals of anyone at any level of training.

"Our series is the best one-hour, full-body workout you can get," said Neely. "Every workout is well-rounded and led by a certified personal trainer. During that one hour, you get some cardio and weight training, all led by heart rate-based interval training."

That heart rate-based interval training is a crucial component of the Orangetheory workout, taking you through five different heart rate zones: resting, easy, challenging, uncomfortable, and All Out. The goal is to spend 12 minutes or more with your heart rate elevated in "The Orange Zone" to boost your metabolism, burn fat, and burn more calories. And the Orangetheory staff uses the latest technology to ensure you're right where you need to be.

"We put a heart rate monitor on you to ensure that you're not overtraining or undertraining," said Neely. "That allows us to track your data and stats to ensure you're going in the right direction."

Because of that personalized approach, Orangetheory allows people at every possible fitness level to work out in the same class.

"That's one of the super unique things about Orangetheory," said Neely. "All of our classes are exactly the same, but they are catered towards your own pace, at your level. I like to say somebody in there could be running marathons, doing triathlons, or professional athletes. We have football players that come in during their off-season, but we also have people that have never been in a gym a day in their life, and they could be right next to each other getting just as good of a workout."

Orangetheory is a boutique gym instead of a big-box gym. Neely says there's a level of personalization that is very reassuring.

"Our staff and the folks you work out with will know your name," said Neely. "We are all your 'fit fam,' your community, your friends. We encourage you, share your goals and help hold you accountable."

Orangetheory limits class sizes to about 24 people. You're always guaranteed access to that treadmill, rowing machine, or dumbbells. You can also use your Orangetheory membership at any of their 1500 locations across the U.S. and worldwide.
