Orangetheory® Fitness Opens at Westfield South Shore

Orangetheory® Fitness, the science backed and rapidly growing fitness studio, opened today at Westfield South Shore. Orangetheory Fitness launched its first studio in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2010, and has become one of the world's most popular health and wellness franchises, with more than 1,200 studios in 50 states and 22 countries.

“Orangetheory attracts people from all different demographics and fitness levels,” says Dana Ragolia, General Manager at Orangetheory Fitness Bay Shore. Dana explained, that the workouts are designed with one goal in mind and that is to make sure everyone feels successful. “You go completely at your own pace and one of our six instructors is there to help lead you through the workout. All of our coaches are amazing, have personal training certifications through New York State and have gone through extensive Orangetheory Fitness training. At this studio, we have the number one ranked coach in the nation, Evan Amendola!”

From January 20 to March 15, Orangetheory Bay Shore will be hosting a Transformation Challenge, inviting members to transform their bodies in eight weeks. The male and female who shed the most body fat percentage will win a cash prize. To participate, members will need to sign up at the studio location. The gym will have three body scans using Orangetheory’s InBody Scanner to measure participants’ progress over the eight-week period.

“We are thrilled to welcome Orangetheory Fitness to Westfield South Shore,” says Vanessa Mitton, Marketing Director at Westfield South Shore. “Many of our shoppers have already purchased memberships and we are happy to make this popular and growing fitness studio available to the entire Bay Shore community.”

The new studio is 3,550 square feet and equipped with 16 treadmills, water rowers and weight room stations. Each station includes individual mini bands, a bosu ball, TRX® suspension trainers, free weights, an ab dolly and a bench. The studio can accommodate 32 people per class and is open 364 days a year, with classes starting as early as 5AM and going as late as 8PM from Monday through Friday. On the weekends, the earliest class starts at 6AM and the last class is at 12:30PM.

Orangetheory offers a one hour, full-body group workout that is led by certified coaches to make sure you don’t over train or under train. The workout is focused on heart rate- based interval training, guaranteed to produce results. The heart rate is tracked by technology in real time, on large screen TVs throughout the class. The workouts are scientifically designed so you spend at least 12 or more minutes in the Orange and Red Zone combined, which is 84% or higher of your maximum heart rate. By doing so, you will achieve the afterburn, also known as EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), which allows you to burn more calories for up to 24-36 hours post workout.

Orangetheory Fitness Bay Shore is located at the Westfield South Shore Mall, between Macy’s and the Cheesecake Factory at 1701 Sunrise Hwy, Bay Shore NY, 11706.
