Below is a little bit of my story about why I joined OrangeTheory Fitness and why it works for me. In my decades of struggling with health, weight, and fitness, OrangeTheory is the only fitness program that I've ever stuck to consistently (and I have done them all). Sure, we can be a little culty like any enthusiastic group (part of our charm, right?) but it has become an integral part of my life as I try to hold in harmony work, ministry, fitness, health, etc. and I LOVE IT!

Some have asked about it so after I was chosen as the Featured Member for my home studio Newsletter, I figured this was as good a time as any to share.

But first, some thank yous — since I didn’t get an actual award ceremony, sheesh. First thanks to the home studies who have been part of the past four years: @otf_southbay Palo Alto, @otfalmadenvalley in San Jose, and now @orangetheoryrosegarden. With all of my travels, I also try to visit as many other studios as possible, I think I’m up to over 20, so also some special thanks to studios where I have been multiple times: otf_pasadena, @otfcapitola, @otf_willowglen, @orangetheorycommhill, @otfsouthmountain, @orangetheoryauckland, @orangetheorymelbourne, and so many more great studios!

And lastly, to the amazing coaches far too many to name, thank you, though I will say my Top 3 Coach Playlisters awards go to coaches: @gabymoctezuma13.1, @eddie_prospero, and @alyssaa.morris!

Okay, on to the whats and whys of my OrangeTheory Story.

OTF: When did you find OTF and why did you join?
My 70-year-old mother shamed me into joining. She had joined a ways back and was working out 4-6 times a week. She, like so many other Orangetheory converts, always had that annoying workout glow about them and never passed up a chance to let everyone know why. At some point and for no special occasion, she sent me a heart monitor and gifted me with 10 classes.

There is much more, so to see my answers to the rest of the questions head over to my substack. Just follow the bio link or head over to https://theamalgamation.substack.com/
