I first discovered Orangetheory Fitness when I was living in Minneapolis. When I moved to…read moreMilwaukee I was devastated to discover that there were no locations here. Devastated. Seriously. I won't say that finding out that Orangetheory was finally opening in Milwaukee was the happiest day of my life, but it probably makes the top five. This is the best workout I have ever had. It's hour-long group fitness that blends cardio and strength training and is all based on your heart rate (everyone wears a heart rate monitor with the results posted on screens in the studio so both you and the trainer can see what's going on). I've been in other group fitness classes where the trainer might tell you to do 6.0 mph on the treadmill. Trouble is, one person's 6.0 leaves them gasping for air and ready to puke while another person's 6.0 is a nice little warm up. Here the trainer will tell you what heart rate zone to get to and whether you get there running 6.0 or walking 3.0 at an incline of 7% is up to you. Because it's so individualized this workout is for anyone - those new to working out, those recovering from an injury, and hard core gym rats alike will all get a good workout here. Though every workout incorporates the treadmill (or bike or elliptical if you are treadmill averse or have an injury that prevents you from getting on the treadmill), rowing machine, TRX and weights, every class is different so you won't get bored. The workout is based on the theory of EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) which finds that getting your heart rate above 84% of your maximum heart rate for 12-20 minutes will boost the calories you burn for up to 36 hours after you've stopped working out. At the end of every class you get a report with your results which shows you how many minutes you spent in each heart rate zone as well as an estimate of calories burned. I don't really think about this too much, all I know is that Orangetheory got me in the best shape of my life. And your first workout is free and there's no contract to sign. What have you got to lose? Try it.

The new pro, Timon Corwin, is a nationally recognized leader in youth tennis development and has been fabulous for the club. The rumors the previous reviewer mentioned are the result of some members who didn't agree with the choices made by club leadership (all members). While I may agree that some members don't agree with all the decisions, this is just grousing and doesn't change the quality of the tennis, teaching, or facilities. To many, this is the the top tennis facility in the Southeastern WI region with many of the top junior players present. Internal politics are present in every organization, so don't just listen to those who complain.

I needed someone to tell me what to do because I had no clue how to reach my fitness goals. Fitness together set me up for success! I would discuss my goals with my trainer and reassess every 3 months which entailed a fitness assessment and weigh in. They have a styku which is super cool and essentially measures your whole body so you can see your progress. It also measures your different weights so you can see your muscle gain and fat loss. The trainers are amazing and create great workouts. They are encouraging and hold you accountable. They always check in on how things are going and help you find ways to stay on track. My main trainer was Cesia and she is AMAZING! It is a little pricey but totally worth it! I have seen amazing results and am so happy I did it.
