ORANGETHEORY FITNESS TO CELEBRATE IT’S GRAND OPENING FRIDAY, MARCH 1ST IN WILLOW GROVE!
First Weight Loss Challenge winner will be named and awarded $2500 cash prize!
The grand opening of the first Orangetheory Fitness location in Pennsylvania, at 164 Park Avenue in Willow Grove, will be celebrated on Friday, March 1 from 5:00 to 7:30pm with a ribbon-cutting, welcome party and presentation of a $2500 cash prize to the winner of Orangetheory Fitness’ first Weight Loss Challenge. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.
The new Orangetheory Fitness studio in Willow Grove just opened its doors on January 2, and has already enlisted more than 200 enthusiastic members. The Orangetheory Fitness workout has been featured in the New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and on 6 ABC and Fox 29 TV as an effective, plateau-busting workout that can burn up to 900 calories in a 60-minute session. The intense, hour-long, group workout uses interval exercise and heart rate monitoring to keep heart rates in the target (“orange”) zone that stimulates metabolism and increases energy.
“Willow Grove was definitely the best choice for our first Orangetheory Fitness studio in Pennsylvania,” said Adrienne Gerhart, co-owner and studio manager. “The March 1st party will serve to thank our local community and members, and to welcome all others who may be interested. We’re very excited to award our first $2500 Weight Loss Challenge prize, too.” Each Orangetheory Fitness studio in the US participates in a national six week Weight Loss Challenge, which offers cash prizes for percentage of weight loss, from January 17 through February 28.
Kicking off the March 1st grand opening festivities will be a 5 pm ribbon-cutting with local officials and representatives from Eastern Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce, followed by refreshments, a live DJ and many door prizes, including multiple-month memberships to Orangetheory Fitness and items provided by local merchants.
Gerhart and co-owner Robert Ferrall expect to open more Orangetheory Fitness locations in the area. Weekday studio hours are 5:30 am to 8:30 pm, and weekend hours are 7:30 am to 8:30 pm. The phone number is 215-866-8666.

About Orangetheory Fitness
Orangetheory Fitness (www.orangetheoryfitness.com) is a one-of-a-kind, group personal training workout broken into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training. Backed by the science of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), Orangetheory’s heart-rate-monitored training is designed to maintain a target zone that stimulates metabolism and increases energy. Led by skilled personal trainers, participants use a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, SBT Suspension Training and free weights, burning up to an average of 900 calories per session. The result is the Orange Effect – more energy, visible toning and extra calorie burn for up to 38 hours post-workout.
