If variety is the spice of life then Oranj Fitness is a five-alarm chilli.
The choices hit you the second you walk in the door and slip off your shoes – this is a barefoot kind of joint! Do you pet the house dog Thelma with her eager friendliness, belly up to the smoothie bar and indulge in a healthy muffin or a Berry Blast shake, shop for hip and cool yoga wear, or sign yourself in for class?
You think the options stop there? Not a chance. One look at the selection of classes on offer and the decision-making part of your brain will go into a tailspin. From Hot Yoga (contort and sweat your way to limberness) to Spintastic and Break Dancing, seriously, there are 140 classes a week!
In 2008, Sheila and Darryl decided to leave careers with lululemon athletica to build a community around the premise that achieving a fitness goal doesn’t have to be boring. And that life shouldn’t get in the way, which is why they also offer childminding (kids will love the little toys from the boogie box!)
For those with lives that do get in the way, there are classes happening all of the time. With monthly memberships, punch cards, or drop-in options there’s no need to panic if you’re running late – just hit up the next class.
You may as well spice it up - fitness doesn’t need to be dull.
