Have you guys heard about the new Orangetheory Fitness location at 936 Viking Road, Suite 109, in Cedar Falls? They have great fitness classes that really allow you to challenge yourself no matter what your fitness level.

I love the fact that I am going to a group class workout but still feel like I have my own personal trainer — and I don't have to pay thousands of dollars for it! Each coach knows your name and will help you one-on-one throughout the class. It's a high intensity interval training class (or, HIIT as some people call it) that includes indoor rowers, cardio, floor exercises and weight training blocks.

Don't feel intimidated if you're just starting out! Orangetheory attracts everyone from those who have never worked out to college athletes, and they work hard to change up the workouts. I never know what new challenge they are going to throw at me in class. Even though I dread it sometimes, the coaches help me get through.

I'll admit it, too: I am a competitive person (with myself and others), so I love the fact that Orangetheory has monitors that will show you what zone you are in compared to everyone else. It allows me to try to push myself a little harder than the person next to me and really feel accomplished.

Overall, thought, the sign of whether I had a good workout is how well I can walk days after. Every time I go to Orangetheory Fitness, they make sure I am sore for days on end... which really makes it all worth it! I'm making great progress and loving it!

If you'd like to try it for yourself, book your first class for free by calling (319) 449-6951 or by filling out the form on their website here.
