“Orange Effect” burns an average 900 calories/session
Long Island, NY – Orangetheory Fitness, a one-of-a-kind, group personal training workout that has gained an ardent following in Florida, Arizona and Colorado will open its newest studio in East Northport, New York on March 16, 2012; its first in the metro region. In the two years since the Orangetheory Fitness concept debuted in South Florida, the franchise has grown to support 25 thriving studios in four states.
Starting Saturday, March 10 and through the Orangetheory Fitness grand opening on March 16, 2012, the public is invited to stop by and experience a complementary workout. Special pre-sale and founder’s rate memberships will also be available prior to the grand opening.
In conjuction with its grand opening, Orangetheory Fitness will also launch its first 6 Week Weight Loss Challenge. At the end of the challenge, the contestant with the highest percentage of weight loss will win $2,500 in cash and prizes. Orangetheory Fitness typically hosts a 6 Week Challenge each time a new studio opens, and other shorter contest throughout the year. Past winners have lost as much as 48 pounds in six weeks. Contest specifics are available at the studio.
“Spots are already filling up fast for the Weight Loss challenge,” notes Elyse Pedersen, owner of the East Northport studio and area developer for Orangetheory Fitness. “What makes Orangetheory Fitness such a runaway success are the phenomenal results possible. It’s a one-of-a-kind, kick-butt workout that combines the best aspects of group fitness and personal training.”
Backed by the science of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), Orangetheory’s 60-minute group personal training workout is broken into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training. Each participant’s individual heart-rate is monitored throughout the session, which is designed to keep heart rates in a target zone that stimulates metabolism and increases energy. Led by experienced, accredited personal trainers, participants use a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, TRX Suspension Training® and free weights, burning an average of 900 calories per session. The result is the Orange Effect – more energy, visible toning and extra calorie burn for up to 36 hours post-workout.
“Our group classes are highly motivating and geared to the individual,” explains Ms. Pedersen, “Individual heart rates are carefully monitored throughout the session, and our trainers use this information to inspire each participant to push past plateaus and work toward their individual goals. An Orangetheory Fitness workout combines the best aspects and proven benefits of group and personal training like structure, support, energy, endurance and accountability. Two to four sessions a week can generate amazing results.”
Once the studio opens, exercisers can book a session online at www.orangetheoryfitness.com or by calling 631-499-4500. The Orangetheory Fitness studio is located at 4000 Jericho Turnpike, East Northport.
