If you’re a numbers person, then Orangetheory Fitness might just be
your No. 1 fitness destination. Participants wear heart rate monitors
during its high-intensity classes, and the results are splashed on a big screen during the workout. The goal is to train for at least 12 to 20 minutes at more than 84 per cent of your maximum heart rate – the “orange zone,” which is thought to burn calories with increased efficiency. Former Global News anchor Cara Fullerton is head trainer at the West Springs location, one of three in Calgary.
