There are SO many fitness classes out there- sometimes it can be overwhelming to “choose” one. .

I feel like there’s a type of person (you either like group fitness or you don’t) OR...you LOVE group fitness and (either stay with your same class- or like/enjoy switching it up)

I am the latter-

and I reside in the camp of “FIND SOMETHING that MOVES/EXCITES you!” whatever type person you are-

period.

So today, I was able to try out a new class (or new to me) called Orange theory Fitness 🍊 @otf_south_hill .

If you’ve never heard of it, (here are my takeaways- and don’t forget that I’m SUCH an expert b/c I’ve taken one class- hahaha)

It was SUPER FUN and totally different from anything I’ve tried before.

I had NO freakin’ clue what I was getting/walking into but-that wasn’t a problem at all b/c the staff walked me through everything prior to starting the class. Tori and Evi were awesome- and you can just tell by the smile on peoples’ faces prior, that they were excited to be there.

When you arrive, you get assigned a number and the staff equips you with a heart rate monitor for you to track yours. (not only that, but you also track your calories burned, and what color “zone” you are -all in real time) ON A BIG SCREEN TV UP FRONT! (I’m a child-ha!) .

You then walk into a HUGE room that is laden with rowers, treadmills, weights and TRX suspension set ups.

The workouts vary from day-to-day and today’s was focused on strength. .

The whole group has the same workout, but you complete the tasks on an individual level. You’re looking up/watching your the big screen so intently for your earned “splat points” that you may trip and fall off the treadmill-(OH is that just me?) hahaha.

I left on an exercise “high” almost needing a cigarette and a velvet robe afterwards- (BAHAAHA) but in all honesty- I loved it.

If you are interested in trying a class- the facilities are nationwide and offer you your first class for FREE, so if you want to add some spice to your current routine- I’d say try it out.

OH EXCEPT if you hate the color orange.

DO NOT go there if you don’t like that color (but that’s the only reason-hahahaha!) 🍑🍊😡🎃🦊🔥☄️🥕🏀🌅📙☢️🉑
