How else can you prove you’re improving? Think of your heart rate monitor as your built-in coach, telling you when you need to push, or when you should scale back and recover.

Walk into an Orangetheory class, and you’ll see multiple flashing colors on a large screen. This is our heart rate monitoring technology at work, capturing the unique heart rates of nearly one million members worldwide. But what do these pretty colors actually mean to you?

Fortunately, the fame of the so-called "miracle diets" is fading over time to give way to the golden age of fitness, where the importance of a good sports routine to promote weight loss is evident. Weight loss is a very important point to consider for many people in Spain, since, according to the INE, in 2022, 34.3% of people aged 18 and over were overweight and 14.1% obese, which is a totally alarming figure.

The great enemy feared by those who are starting or returning to the world of sport is undoubtedly muscle soreness. Not in vain, it is the culprit of many early quitters, but everything has its explanation.

All of us at Orangetheory have a common goal: to change people's lives. We believe that there is nothing better than improving the habits and physical and mental state of others in order to achieve, as a result, a better society.

If you are determined to change your life by starting to play sports or simply need a change of sports centre, we have a lot to tell you!

The reasons why we may give up physical activity are very varied, and not all of them depend on ourselves.

One of the most repeated aspects around the figure of the gym is that of being signed up and not going. This happens more often than it should, and many people, even though they are aware that they are paying for something they do not use, are not encouraged to take up physical activity to improve their health.

One of the greatest fears and, at the same time, one of the greatest concerns of those who start an active life, doing sports, is stiffness. We have all had them at some point in our lives (either due to injury, the performance of some unusual exercise ...) and we are fully aware of how uncomfortable they can be, but what are they due to?

There are many benefits of going to the gym that most of us don't even imagine. Obviously we all believe that the main benefit of joining the gym is weight loss.

After taking the important step of starting to exercise, or motivated by a change of residence, it is time to decide which gym we choose to start or continue our passion for fitness.

If you find yourself at the point of wanting to make a change in your life and start exercising, one of the first questions you will ask yourself is whether it is necessary to go to a gym or you can start exercising on your own, at home.

We all know that fitness is in fashion. And that the practice of sport has increased since the pandemic, too.

One of the great dilemmas of the last few years or even the last decade for those starting out in the world of fitness, or simply for people who want to improve their health, is about what type of gym to choose. Like many things in life, nothing is 'black and white' and each type of training center has its pros and cons, but we believe that some take precedence over others, with the most important thing always being your health.

One of the biggest debates surrounding sports practice in gyms has to do with the dilemma between a gym or a personal trainer. In this sense, we would like to start this post by saying that there is no bad option, as long as we fulfill the goal: doing sports.
