bh Fit: Orangetheory Fitness

Heard of Orangetheory Fitness? If you haven’t yet, you’re about to – the workout recently landed in Australia and is set to take the country by storm. Founded in the USA, some amazing Orangetheory Fitness results have seen the workout develop a cult following, much like F45 Training. But apart from the devoted fans and high intensity interval exercises, that’s where the similarities between the two fitness franchises end.

RELATED: The big glossary of exercises

Backed by scientific research, Orangetheory Fitness is a one hour group workout where each attendee wears a heart rate monitor to track their heart rate and calorie burn. The aim is to keep your heart rate at a specific level throughout the exercises (the ‘Orange Zone’) which can have your body burning calories for up to 36 hours after the class finishes. The classes are adaptable for all fitness levels, with a mix of cardio and strength exercise to maximise your workout. So if you’re wanting to lose weight, gain strength or tighten and tone your body, Orangetheory Fitness is definitely one to check out.

Curious to see what all the fuss was about, bh’s Kate and Nadine headed to Orangetheory Fitness Bondi Junction to give it a go. So if you’re wondering exactly what goes down in an Orangetheory workout, we’ve got you covered. Did we make it through the whole session? And what were our Orangetheory Fitness results? Watch the video above to find out.

I will stick to walking my dogs. Where I live is mountainous and a walk is a workout

Good to have some guidance so you don't overdo things

Well done to you all who tried the workout! This is a new fitness regime to me

i need to try this wow

Chicklet 27 Mar 2018 7:47 PM

It sounds interesting. I wear a Fitbit when I workout which enables me to monitor my heart rate. I’d be interested to know what the specific target heart rate is during the sessions.

Good to see your heart rate! And to do more than just the treadmill its great

i love that if you do hiit type workouts it's over with so quickly, no hour long cardio sessions anymore!

jillian206 14 Feb 2018 8:38 PM

Sounds great but to be honest i don't think i can make it! LOL.

Snailor 13 Feb 2018 9:50 PM

I think I'm more partial to some gentle yoga or dog walking :)

Sparkle 77 13 Feb 2018 5:52 PM

I need to move my lazy butt, thanks for the encouragement!

sootyblack_14 10 Feb 2018 11:50 AM

Never heard of this until now... Now that I have I'm really not sure I want to try it!!! Ha ha!!!

Ellelily 7 Feb 2018 7:33 PM

If I was a lot younger I would have liked to do something like this.

Meedee 7 Feb 2018 2:16 PM

Not for me but good on you girls for giving it a go.

josella432 6 Feb 2018 10:49 PM

High intensity is not for me.

Sally10 6 Feb 2018 7:41 PM

I haven't heard of this before...........it looks pretty full on, phew! I think I'll stick to pilates and regular walks.

Chrystalage 6 Feb 2018 6:16 PM

Not for me thanks but good for those who have the interest and stamina

onlyoni 6 Feb 2018 6:56 AM

I couldn't keep up the pace with this one.

makeupcat 6 Feb 2018 2:59 AM

Looks so fun! Definitely want to try it.

jatz 5 Feb 2018 10:38 PM

Too full on for me........but if I was younger, I guess it would be good to try out.

Bellefleur 5 Feb 2018 6:12 PM

This is the first I heard of this new workout regime. I think I'll be sticking to my pilates and barre mix for now.

ThisIsMe 5 Feb 2018 12:17 PM

Never heard of this theory before!

skincare junkie 5 Feb 2018 9:27 AM

I like my high intensity work out but I also like to just listen to my body without worrying about my heart rate. I can feel how my body is going and on some days I want to hit harder and some daysI want to step back a little.
