Study Notes

Orangetheory Fitness Overview

Creator of Orangetheory Fitness is Ellen Latham.
The introduction lobby process consists of three necessary components to engage new members.

Lobby Teaser and Intro Components

The lobby teaser aims to pique members' engagement and excitement.
An appropriate component of the lobby intro is not stating that it is "5 zone heart rate-based interval training."

Workout Characteristics

Orangetheory Fitness is classified as a High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout.
A proper floor demonstration starts with setting up a demo station before class begins.

Water Rower Insights

The purpose of the water rower is to focus on power and total body strength.
A common error during the water rowing technique is being in the "12 o'clock straight up" position, limiting core motion.

Intensity Metrics and Cues

As power increases on the water rower, the split time metric decreases.
It is inappropriate to cue members with statements like, "Inspire your neighbor to tap that intensity up."

Fitness Coach Responsibilities

Fitness coaches are responsible for delivering pre-designed Orangetheory workouts.
It is not acceptable to allow members to hold a plank if it is not included in the workout template.

Training Techniques

The BOSU is primarily used for balance training and targeting smaller muscle fibers along the trunk and spine.
Cues that help maintain posture on the water rower include "Chest open, pull the shoulder back and down while lifting out of the pelvis."

Coaching and Member Connections

The term "options" is used positively to refer to modifications during workouts.
One of the coaching components known as the "Three C's" involves congratulating members on their progress.

Member Interaction

Types of member connections include Acknowledgment, Emotional Connection, and Personal Touch.
Examples of connections include celebrating achievements, such as "Great job on that past row!" which falls under Acknowledgment.

Physiological Responses and Recommendations

Increased water retention is one of the first physiological responses a member may experience when starting a new exercise routine.
Base Pace parameters for a Power Walker are set between 2.5 to 3.5 MPH with a 1-3% incline.

Workout Structure

Stretches during the Flexibility block are held for 30 seconds.
