Some expert’s opinion

High-Intensity Interval Training Debuts at Number One on ACSM Worldwide Survey of Top Fitness Trends
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwired - Nov 21, 2013) - Orangetheory Fitness® (www.orangetheoryfitness.com), the energizing interval fitness franchise and first to use heart-rate-monitored training for scientifically proven results, has blazed a trail in the fitness industry with many firsts, the latest of which is having a workout based on the number-one fitness trend for 2014: high-intensity interval training.
In its debut year on the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) survey of top fitness trends, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) tops the list of the 20 trends for 2014. More than 3,800 fitness professionals were surveyed for their expert opinions on worldwide trends in the commercial, corporate, clinical and community health fitness industry. The results of the eighth annual survey were published in the "Now Trending: Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends for 2014" article published in the November/December issue of ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal.
Lead author of the survey, Walter R. Thompson, Ph.D., FACSM, commented that High Intensity Interval Training's first appearance on the list in the top spot "reflects how this form of exercise has taken the fitness community by storm in recent months."
Orangetheory Fitness has led the fitness industry revolution in HIIT, launching the concept in 2010 and growing its footprint exponentially to 195 franchises across the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. David Long, CEO of Orangetheory Fitness commented: "The 'surprising results' of the 2014 ACSM survey are not a big surprise to Orangetheory Fitness. We're thrilled that more than 3,800 fitness experts around the world agree that high-intensity interval training is the biggest change in behavior in the industry and the top trend for 2014."
He adds that the Orangetheory concept is actually an ideal combination of several of the top-20 fitness environments in the study: HIIT, strength training, and group personal training all ranked in the top 10 and are components of the Orangetheory Fitness workout. Based on science and physiology, Orangetheory minimizes the risk of injury sometimes associated with HIIT because of the workout's unique format, ongoing research and development, a personalized heart-rate monitored approach, and skilled personal trainers who lead every session.
"The 2014 ACSM trends study validates our 'theory,' and the fact that it shows up for the first time at number one speaks volumes. Orangetheory Fitness will continue to propel the growth of this concept as a leading brand in the fitness industry," Long concludes.

The Science of the Orangetheory Workout

The physiological theory behind the Orangetheory workout is known as “Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption,” or EPOC. By providing you with a heart rate monitor and POD, we can monitor your 5 zone interval training sessions that we call the Orange 60. During the 60 minute workout, you will perform multiple intervals designed to produce 12-20 minutes of training at 84% or higher of your maximum heart rate, which translates to Zones 4/5. This program design produces EPOC, which is the workout “after-burn” effect, meaning that our interval training design produces a 200-400 calorie increase to your metabolism 24-36 hours after your workout.
Example: Burn 600-1000 calories during the workout and burn 200-400 more calories from EPOC over the next 24-36 hours.
The Orangetheory workout will produce for you increased muscle endurance, power, stamina and tremendous weight loss, if desired. With good music, a talented group trainer and a high energy studio, you have the recipe for a workout that produces BIG and LASTING results.
