A results-focused workout like no other

By design, the Orangetheory workout uses heart-rate-monitored interval training and short bursts of exercise to maximize the Orange Effect – which adds extra caloric burn for up to 36 hours after the workout. Participants burn an average of 900 calories per 60-minute class, hailed by the New York Times as an effective new plateau-busting workout.

The new Willowbrook Orangetheory Fitness studio is located at 894 75th Street. To learn more about Orangetheory Fitness, enter the Challenge or register as a member, visit www.orangetheoryfitness.com/studio-locations/willowbrook-il/ or call the studio directly at 630.352.3330.
