Locals are invited to enjoy food, drinks, workout demos and more in The Westover Gallery of Shops

The first Triad area Orangetheory Fitness studio is officially opening its doors with a grand opening party Saturday, July 9 from 3 to 6 p.m. in Greensboro’s Westover Gallery of Shops. The grand opening initiates the kick off of classes at the brand new studio. It’s also the final chance for those interested in joining to secure memberships at reduced rates. Attendees of the event will enjoy music, food, drinks, samples from local businesses, workout demos, raffles and more.

Greensboro joins 11 other studios that are currently open in North Carolina with three more in the state opening later this year. Orangetheory Fitness workouts use heart-rate monitor technology and the science of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption to provide highly effective workouts for members of all ages, sizes and fitness levels. The hour long classes consist of high-intensity interval training exercises on treadmills, rowers, free weights and TRX suspension training equipment to deliver a total-body workout where participants burn up to 1,000 calories.

“I was first introduced to Orangetheory Fitness several years ago while living in Arizona and I moved to Greensboro specifically to share this life-changing concept with Triad residents. Over the past few months, it’s been a real honor and privilege to meet so many local residents and share our popular concept with them. I can’t wait to see how our members’ lives are transformed after starting their fitness journeys with us at our brand new studio.”

Greensboro mayor Nancy B. Vaughan will cut the ribbon at 3 p.m. to begin the celebration on the sidewalk in front of the studio. Along with food, drinks and raffle prizes, attendees can meet the trainers and staff as well as see the innovative heart rate monitored technology firsthand at the celebration. The event is free to attend and all are welcome.

Those interested in locking in a limited-time only discounted membership rate should contact the studio at (336) 346-2977. Memberships are available at low rates now until July 9 and never require a long-term commitment or contract. The new Greensboro studio is located in The Westover Gallery of Shops at 1410 Westover Terrace, suite 100 B, Greensboro, NC 27408.
