If you haven't tried Orangetheory Fitness, it's likely you know someone who has.

The boutique fitness franchise now has 728 studios in 16 countries and is in 45 states in the US.

The company, which was named the fastest-growing woman-owned company in 2017 by Forbes, brought in $451 million in revenue last year.

I've been going to Orangetheory for about eight months now, and I'm totally hooked. Its 60-minute classes leave me feeling like I've given my all, and I've gotten a lot stronger since I started going.

Here's everything you need to know about the fitness company that's popping up everywhere across the US.

Orangetheory's group workout classes are 60 minutes long and focus on high-intensity interval training. In each class, you'll cycle through workouts on a treadmill, on a rower, and on the floor.

Each class has a distinct focus. Endurance classes feature long stretches on the treadmill and high rep counts on the floor. Strength classes have a lot of uphill climbs on the treadmill and heavy weights on the floor. In power classes, you'll work on speed.



The class is generally broken up into two groups. One starts on the treadmill, and one starts on the floor and rowers.
