Orangetheory Fitness Locations In and Around Ventura County

Orangetheory Fitness is a group personal training, interval fitness concept based on the science of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). Orangetheory provides a 60-minute workout broken into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training. Participants burn from 500 to 1000 calories per 60-minute training session (individual results vary), using a variety of equipment, including treadmills, rowing machines, SBT Suspension Training and free weights.

The physiology behind the Orangetheory Fitness workout involves heart-rate-monitored training designed to keep heart rates in a target zone that stimulates metabolism and increases energy. The result is the "Orange Effect" – more energy, visible toning and extra calorie burn for up to 36 hours post workout.
