"I Went to Orange Theory"

Join me, seasoned gym owners, as we dive into our first-hand experience at an Orange Theory class. Known for their heart-rate-focused workouts and prominence in the fitness industry, we decided to see how their methods stack up against our personalized strength training approach.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Our Initial Impressions: From the greeting to the check-in process and the vibe of the gym.
  • Workout Breakdown: We share details about the class layout—starting on treadmills, shifting to rowers, and finishing with weights. We'll talk about the challenges of keeping our heart rates in the targeted "orange zone" and the insights it provided into workout effectiveness.
  • Comparative Analysis: Reflecting on our own gym's philosophy, we discuss the general versus intentional approach to fitness, particularly highlighting the importance of tailored strength training and progressive overload.
  • Industry Insight: We touch on Orange Theory's market strategy, their impact on the fitness community, and thoughts on their recent bankruptcy news.
  • Concluding Thoughts: Why we believe our approach at our gym offers more substantial benefits for longevity, strength, and overall wellness.
