Who We Are

In 2007, physiologist Ellen Latham brought together science and fitness in a revolutionary way. She called it the Orange Effect and started a U.S. studio to prove it.

Orangetheory is a science-backed, technology-tracked, coach-inspired group workout designed to produce results from the inside out. The hardest part of our workouts is showing up - we make it simple for you to push yourself, be your personal best and give you more.

Today OTF has taken the world by storm to become one of the most well-known fitness franchises on the planet. We’re spread across more than 1,500 studios in 25 countries across the globe.

We attract Master Franchisees and Area Developers with a range of skills from leadership, to retail and operations, to sales and finance. They’re all passionate about innovation, driven to bring the latest fitness trends to their market, and excited by a business opportunity with exceptional personal and potential financial reward.
