ORIGINAL ARTICLE
I’m the first to admit that I put EVERYTHING before I put a focus on my health. Eating right, always? Exercising daily? Ha! Who has the time?! But, then I’m also the first to admit I don’t like where that attitude has landed me in my health journey. So, in 2022, it’s time for me to rewrite this story. And I’m SO grateful I found the coaches and classes at OrangeTheory Fitness Salem and OrangeTheory Fitness Londonderry to help. When they told me about the annual Transformation Challenge I knew it was the kick in the *bleep* that I needed. So for the next 8 weeks I’m focused on me, my health, first. And while I have big hopes I also know that it’s the small changes and slow progress that will get me where I want to go. This is about sustainability.
Orangetheory is unlike any other gym, and the Transformation Challenge is a prime example of their unmatched commitment and innovation when it comes to community building. At Orangetheory, I am never a nameless face alone in my fitness journey–from the very moment I step inside, I’m an invaluable member of a welcoming and endlessly motivating community. And I know, because sometimes I try to hide from Headtrainer Christine and like a superhero with a sixth sense she’s right there to check in and “see” me.
The reason this community works so well is because it is contrived of a supportive network of people that are one and the same, all seeking to better themselves one day and one workout at a time. No one is an outcast at Orangetheory; we all belong no matter what! We’re accepted without exception.
I’m always pushed out of my comfort zone! Coaches and workout buddies are there to help me tap into my true potential. Whether I need guidance on nutrition or maybe just an extra boost of motivation, my Orangetheory family always has my back.
The Transformation Challenge entails attending three classes a week for six out of eight weeks. It’s important to note that this process isn’t about quick-fixes or superficiality–it’s all about sustainability! The skills and values learned throughout the 8 week journey are meant to stick with long after the official challenge has drawn to a close. This is a full mind and body commitment that is guaranteed to change life for the better. What are you waiting for?! Join me!
