Orangetheory Fitness is celebrating its first Murfreesboro location with a Launch Party on Saturday, Dec. 2 to kickoff membership pre-sales, the scientifically backed and fast-growing fitness franchise announced.

The event, taking place at The Avenue, Suite 1520 in Murfreesboro from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., will allow guests the opportunity to lock in a membership at a discounted Founder’s Rate before the studio’s grand opening in February 2018.

The event will include food, beverages, music, giveaways and complimentary heart rate monitors to the first 100 guests who sign up for a membership. The event is located at The Avenue, 2615 Medical Center Parkway, Suite 1520 next to Gymboree.

The new Orangetheory Fitness Murfreesboro studio is the second studio for local franchise owners Meghan and Scott Littlejohn, who also own the Orangetheory Fitness Franklin location.

“As Murfreesboro continues to grow with more restaurants, retail and business openings, it made perfect sense to open our second studio there to offer residents, employers and employees a convenient location to workout,” said Meghan Littlejohn, Orangetheory Fitness franchise owner. “At the upcoming launch event, we look forward to meeting more community members and allowing them the opportunity to learn more about Orangetheory and get a head start on achieving their New Year’s health and fitness resolutions.”

The heart-rate monitored, high-intensity workout is scientifically designed to keep heart rates in a target zone that spikes metabolism and increases energy, allowing clients to continue burning calories for 36 hours following the workout.

Backed by the science of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), Orangetheory Fitness is a 60-minute workout broken into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training. Participants burn an average of more than 500 total calories per 60-minute training session (individual results vary).

Led by highly skilled coaches, each Orangetheory Fitness workout incorporates endurance, strength and power elements through a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, TRX® suspension training and free weights.

Starting Dec. 2 at the Launch Party event, the community can take advantage of the Orangetheory Fitness Founder’s Rates for memberships at the new Murfreesboro location leading in advance of the grand opening in February.

While event guests are not required to RSVP, it is encouraged through the event’s Facebook page.

The new Orangetheory Fitness Murfreesboro will be at The Avenue at 2615 Medical Center Parkway, Suite 1730, Murfreesboro, TN, 37129. For questions about the event or Orangetheory Fitness Murfreesboro, please call (615) 546-0255 or visit murfreesboro.orangetheoryfitness.com.
