“Orangetheory classes are led by highly qualified motivational fitness trainers,” said Brooks Stone, a premier Group Training Expert and community leader in Richmond. Stone has partnered with Orangetheory Fitness to deliver this scientifically proven and technology based concept.

One Orangetheory Fitness workout is designed to burn up to 9x the amount of fat calories you typically burn in a normal day. This is accomplished by each participant wearing a heart rate monitor and working at their individual “Orange Zone” during a group training session where all participants receive aggregate workout summaries via email to track progress and results.
