DETROIT, May 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orangetheory Fitness-Detroit announced today the launch of its “More Life for Detroit Youth” summer program to help Detroit teens live a healthier lifestyle. From June 1-August 31, local students ages 14-18 are invited to take advantage of Orangetheory’s popular science-based workout, centered on heart-rate based interval training and led by highly trained and certified coaches, free of charge.
"Orangetheory Fitness-Detroit is thrilled to offer this complimentary fitness program to local teens in our community,” said Tess Hochstein, studio manager of Orangetheory Fitness-Detroit. "This is a great opportunity for young people to work out in a safe, stable and nurturing environment, while learning a holistic approach to health and wellness that can last a lifetime.”
The workouts incorporate endurance, strength, and power to generate the ‘Orange Effect’ – which keeps calories burning for up to 24 hours after a 60-minute workout. Certified fitness coaches will be on-hand to guide local high school students through an Orangetheory workout and offer options for all levels from beginner to year-round athlete.
Hochstein added that the Orangetheory workout is technology tracked; students use proprietary heart rate monitors during class to monitor their performance metrics in real time and help ensure they don't over or undertrain.
Local teens are also invited to attend a nutrition seminar on Saturday, June 11 at the Orangetheory Fitness-Detroit location at 2911 W. Grand Boulevard, Suite 128 to learn more about healthy eating and food-related issues for teens. Certified nutritionist Maggie Reinhardt will focus on how to properly fuel your body pre- and post-workout, and share healthy eating guidelines for day-to-day life. Teens also will have an opportunity to tour the studio and receive an in-person introduction to the Orangetheory Fitness workout.
“Our goal is to introduce long-term fitness and healthy habits under the guidance of experienced group personal training coaches in a fun and positive way,” added Hochstein.
To register for the “More Life for Detroit Youth” program, teens can call the Orangetheory-Detroit location directly at 313-499-0040 or complete this application. Students can also sign up by scanning a QR code, which can be found on Orangetheory-Detroit’s social media channels including Facebook (Orangetheory Fitness Detroit) and Instagram (@OtfDetroit).
