Orangetheory Fitness
Science-backed and technology
tracked, the one-hour full-body
group workouts at Orangetheory are
designed to produce results from the
inside out – with no two workouts
ever the same. Use treadmills, rowing
machines and weights to further
your personal endurance, strength,
power and weight loss. The heart rate
monitors leave you with no place to
hide and produce reports that are
sent directly to your inbox.

Class: Thursday 9.15am, interval.
Best aspect? I loved the way I could
see how my body was reacting to
each exercise. Sometimes it’s really
difficult to know if you’re pushing
yourself too hard or too little, so
having to hit the ‘orange zone’ made
it easy.
I wish… I didn’t sweat so much! I
would recommend a headband or
wristband, because you will sweat!
Results? I enjoyed my session. The
whole process was clean-cut, simple
and effective. The trainer worked
me hard and to my fitness level,
which is unique to everyone.
Class: Tuesday 9.15am, strength.
Best aspect? Being able to take
everything at your own pace. On
the treadmill, I found the ‘power
walk’ the best option for someone
who has fallen off the fitness wagon.
Also, the heart monitors – you’re all
on an even playing field, all aiming to
push yourselves into the right zone,
as directed by the coach.
I wish… the timetable suited my
lifestyle better.
Results? My legs were like jelly
by the end of class! Knowing the
calories continue to burn long after
you’ve shed the gym gear was
particularly satisfying.
Class: Friday 5.30pm, strength.
Best aspect? Individualised, yet
motivating group environment with
really attentive staff, fab facilities
and good to see a range of ages
sweating it out alongside me. I like
the research and physiology behind
each workout designed to keep the
metabolism charged post-sessions
– if you hit your orange zone target
for 12 minutes.
I wish… I didn’t feel like a sparrow
with a broken wing lifting weights.
Results? Session was hard, but in
a good way, and I had no trouble
reaching my orange zone (had a
troubling tendency to red in fact!).
