As we say “See ya!” to the slow, easy pace of summer, our craving for soul-satiating routine is real. For us, autumn is all about adopting a back-to-health mentality, dedicating time to celebrate ourselves and committing to self-care acts that deliver clear returns on their time investment. This fresh, focused outlook all comes together at Orangetheory Fitness, a total-body group workout with more than 100 studios across Canada and devoted members all across the world.

Here’s how it works: Each 60-minute class is led by certified coaches who deliver a science-backed workout with a focus on hitting your target heart-rate zone—a major difference between typical HIIT classes and Orangetheory. Expect half the workout time to be dedicated to cardio—on the rowing machine, treadmill, bike or strider—and the other half to intentional (and effective) floor work such as calisthenics, burpees and strength-based exercises with resistance bands, dumbbells and suspension-training devices. No gym anxiety here: Classes are designed for every kind of fitness level, with plenty of personalized guidance along the way. And the in-studio vibe? Always approachable, highly motivating and honestly super fun.

Orangetheory’s unique approach to fitness can give you more life—and there’s science to support it. In a recent study out of the University of Montana, participants completed at least two 60-minute Orangetheory Fitness sessions per week over an eight-week time frame, with the purpose of exploring extensive health and fitness metrics. The results were staggering: a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases; improved body composition and physical function; mental benefits like a reduced risk of depression, anxiety and stress; improved brain health and sleep quality; and increased cardio, energy and metabolism. They’re proof that Orangetheory’s classes bring pronounced vitality to your life from every angle imaginable.
