Marlborough – Orangetheory Fitness in Marlborough is offering a free workout to local residents who are interested in seeing the Orangetheory difference for themselves.
“We are passionate about health and wellness and want to share our excitement with our neighbors,” said Jay Wagnon, Marlborough franchise president. “We want residents to become part of the Orangetheory family and start seeing results from our unique fitness approach.”
Their 60-minute, five zone heart-rate monitored interval training concept is what makes them unique. Orangetheory has helped tens of thousands of members lose weight, get toned and meet their overall fitness goals in a short amount of time. The Orangetheory Fitness’ one-hour workout provides effective and total body focused results.
Accessibility is important and Orangetheory Fitness expert trainers will accommodate anyone regardless of age or fitness level from the beginner to those seeking to be challenged. Class coaches will modify a workout to fit anyone’s needs and goals. Motivation and engagement are key components to their program. Because the workout is personalized, anyone can do it because it’s based on the participants’ individual heart rate.
First launched in 2010 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Orangetheory Fitness has become one of the world’s largest fitness brands. With more than 800 studios in 46 states in the U.S., South America, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, they were the first to use heart-rate monitors for interval training. High-intensity interval training was named the number one fitness trend in 2014 by the American College of Sports Medicine.
Wagnon explained, “Interval training involves intervals of cardio and strength designed to produce 12 minutes or more of training at 84 percent or higher of your individual maximum heart rate. Science proves that 12 or more minutes of exercising in the specific zone of 85-92 percent of your maximum heart rate, or what we call the Orange Zone, produce a tremendous metabolic increase in calorie burn.”
Orangetheory delivers affordable group personal training in a small boutique studio setting. Led by highly skilled coaches, each Orangetheory Fitness workout incorporates endurance, strength and power elements through a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, TRX® suspension training and free weights. The end result is more energy and visible toning that they have named the “Orange Effect.” Their workouts burn an average of 900 calories per session.
The group dynamic involved in their workouts provides accountability and structure to help participants achieve their goals. People who work out in groups tend to stick to their goals more consistently. When goals are met and metabolism and energy levels increase then personal satisfaction is maximized. Results are backed by science.
Orangetheory Fitness is located at 40 Boston Post Road West, Marlborough. Open seven days a week. To book a free session or check the class schedule, visit marlborough.orangetheoryfitness.com.
