## Story

The Orangetheory Fitness Afterburn franchise announced today its newest studio is near the grounds of the Texas Medical Center (TMC). The studio located at 7205 Fannin Street in Houston, will serve the surrounding community and the healthcare employees who work at TMC.

“We are energized to be a part of this community that is also home to the city’s greatest medical heroes,” said the CEO of Orangetheory Afterburn, Jim Potesta. “Orangetheory offers the perfect dynamic of fitness options and community network which is synonymous with the active, health-conscious population in this area.”

The 3425 sq. foot facility is Orangetheory Fitness Afterburn’s 24th studio in Houston. It is fully open to new members with treadmill stations equipped with OTconnect technology, rowers, free weights, TRX Suspension Trainers and wearable heartrate monitors. The studio will feature Orangetheory's new, automatic updates to your MaxHR and heart-rate zones to better reflect your own effort and provide even more accurate and personalized performance results.

The fitness concept offers charitable fitness-related challenges throughout the year and encourages members to participate in giving back to the local community.

Orangetheory Fitness is a one-hour class focused on heartrate-based interval training that is designed to alter metabolism to give more caloric afterburn, even hours after the workout is complete. This new location is offering a free first class and discounted Founding Member rates for a limited time.
