Orangetheory Fitness starts classes
Orangetheory Fitness has started its VIP classes and plans a grand opening next weekend.
Classes at the new location at 85th Street and Minnesota Avenue began today for founding members and friends.
A ribbon cutting is scheduled for Dec. 6, with a grand opening Dec. 7 from 5 to 8 p.m. and regular classes starting Dec. 8.
Orangetheory promotes itself as a science-based, full-body workout that uses technology to measure performance.
In a 60-minute class, led by a certified coach, members target at least 12 minutes in the “Orange Zone” to raise their heart rate and charge up metabolism, resulting in post-workout calorie burn.
Each workout includes cardiovascular exercise on a treadmill or bike/strider, as well as rowing and strength training.
This is the first location in South Dakota, and there are about 1,000 locations worldwide.
