Orangetheory Fitness
They continue to be leaders in the fitness industry in cleaning their studios, and encouraging members and staff to wipe down surfaces after using them. Maverick Fitness recently purchased the NASA-Based ActivePure Technology® air purifying system for use in their North Texas studios. The system rapidly eliminates 99.9% of airborne SARS-CoV-2 virus present in the air and on hard surfaces. The staff cleans all surfaces and floors between classes, takes temperatures as people enter the studio, require masks coming into the studio and leaving, and asks if people have symptoms. All CDC Guidelines and safety precautions are followed, and the workout areas are socially distanced.
One of the world’s fastest-growing franchise companies, Orangetheory has developed a unique approach to fitness that blends a unique trifecta of science, coaching and technology that work together seamlessly to elevate participants’ heart rates to help burn more calories. Orangetheory workouts incorporate endurance, strength and power to generate the “Orange Effect,” whereby participants keep burning calories for up to 36 hours after a 60-minute workout.
