1
00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:04,140
- I kinda call it like the
"Cheers" of fitness, y'know?

2
00:00:04,140 --> 00:00:07,150
Remember the old TV show, the bar Cheers,

3
00:00:07,150 --> 00:00:08,690
where everyone knows your name?

4
00:00:08,690 --> 00:00:12,010
That's really what our community

5
00:00:12,010 --> 00:00:14,075
in Orangetheory is like.

6
00:00:14,075 --> 00:00:16,658
(upbeat music)

7
00:00:18,790 --> 00:00:21,050
The reason I created Orangetheory Fitness

8
00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:22,500
was to solve a problem.

9
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:23,910
I had a small Pilates studio,

10
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:25,870
and my members were not happy with any

11
00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:30,060
group metabolic training
programs that existed out there.

12
00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:32,210
They were cycling, working
with personal trainers,

13
00:00:32,210 --> 00:00:33,480
jogging around the park,

14
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:36,150
and I kept listening to complaints

15
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:38,830
that they weren't getting
the results they wanted.

16
00:00:38,830 --> 00:00:41,030
So, the reason why I created the workout

17
00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:44,400
was to solve a problem for just my members

18
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,398
in my small Pilates studio.

19
00:00:46,398 --> 00:00:48,510
(mellow music)

20
00:00:48,510 --> 00:00:50,580
Y'know, when we talk about competition

21
00:00:50,580 --> 00:00:53,550
I see competition being the couch--

22
00:00:53,550 --> 00:00:55,780
it's people who are inactive.

23
00:00:55,780 --> 00:00:59,470
We're very excited about
the technology that we have.

24
00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:01,520
We are collecting a lot of data.

25
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,840
We have a lot of information
of how the human heart,

26
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,940
which is the most important
muscle in your body,

27
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:07,960
how it responds to exercise.

28
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,197
People often ask me,

29
00:01:09,197 --> 00:01:11,747
"Ellen, are you gonna get
new equipment in there?

30
00:01:11,747 --> 00:01:13,990
"Are you gonna get different
types of workouts?"

31
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:17,710
No, because unless the human body changes,

32
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:18,910
and that's what I've studied

33
00:01:18,910 --> 00:01:20,890
as an exercise physiologist,

34
00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:23,530
everything that we're
doing in that workout--

35
00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:26,220
endurance, strength, and
power-based workouts--

36
00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:28,960
get the human heart beating over 84%

37
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,770
for at least 12 minutes
by the end of the hour.

38
00:01:31,770 --> 00:01:33,430
Will we keep those fun?

39
00:01:33,430 --> 00:01:35,050
Exciting? Yes.

40
00:01:35,050 --> 00:01:39,100
Are we always looking at
offering higher level technology?

41
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:40,220
Absolutely.

42
00:01:40,220 --> 00:01:43,260
But as far as what we do physiologically

43
00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:46,053
to the human body, we've got that down.

44
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,760
We're in the people business.

45
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,530
There's a very caring environment

46
00:01:50,530 --> 00:01:53,440
so everyone can come in
and find their place,

47
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,990
never feel less than, and leave, again,

48
00:01:56,990 --> 00:02:00,110
feeling more successful
than when they came in.

49
00:02:00,110 --> 00:02:01,820
People wanna have fun,

50
00:02:01,820 --> 00:02:04,190
and a lot of times,
working out is not fun.

51
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:05,750
We know we need to do it,

52
00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:06,790
but it's not fun,

53
00:02:06,790 --> 00:02:08,970
so we really put a lot of effort

54
00:02:08,970 --> 00:02:10,980
in creating great events

55
00:02:10,980 --> 00:02:15,100
like our Dri Triathlon, which
is a bit of a challenge,

56
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:15,980
but, y'know what?

57
00:02:15,980 --> 00:02:18,740
What I love about our
community is people are there

58
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:20,330
and they back each other.

59
00:02:20,330 --> 00:02:23,010
The most unbelievable moments of when

60
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:25,987
that person who's a
bit deconditioned says,

61
00:02:25,987 --> 00:02:27,830
"I'm gonna try a Dri-Tri",

62
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:30,230
and they're the last
person on the treadmill.

63
00:02:30,230 --> 00:02:32,640
Everyone's done with competition

64
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:34,200
and there's a big group of people

65
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,250
standing around Joe, who's
still on the treadmill

66
00:02:37,250 --> 00:02:39,170
trying to complete his mileage,

67
00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:40,800
and they are cheering him on.

68
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,640
And they are excited for him.

69
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:47,350
And then he makes it
to the very last point,

70
00:02:47,350 --> 00:02:49,410
he stops the treadmill,

71
00:02:49,410 --> 00:02:52,560
and people are screaming, he's crying.

72
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,210
There's nothing better than that.
