Four Orlando-area locations open in the coming weeks, offering the best one-hour workout featuring high-intensity interval training, named the number-one fitness trend in the world by thousands of fitness professionals surveyed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).

"The anticipation has been building in Orlando, and we can't wait to open the four newest Orangetheory Fitness studios in downtown, Lakeside, Waterford Park and Lake Mary," said David Long, CEO at Orangetheory Fitness. "The timing is perfect for anyone starting the New Year with a goal to get in shape, become more fit, or try something new to energize their fitness routine.
