Orange Theory, Just Opened on the Post Road, Provides Tailored Workouts Designed by Physiologists
|
If you’re in the market for a new fitness club or curious to know how the newest one in town compares to the one you’re at, check out Orangetheory Fitness in the newly refurbished building at 364 Post Road. Adam Krell, the owner, says Orangetheory constantly has new workouts, designed by physiologists in the chain’s national headquarters in Florida, that rely on scientific expertise to build and maintain your muscles and stamina rather than just the ideas of your local exercise coach (although coaches are there to help). The one-hour workouts are customized for people at different fitness levels, so that even though members in the class might be doing the same exercises at the same time on the same machines as others, each person goes at his or her own pace, at a difficulty level set for the individual. “It’s a scientifically based, 60-minute workout based on heart-rate-monitored interval training,” Krell said. “It’s basically designed to charge our members metabolism and burn calories.”
