Orangetheory Fitness (Fairfax Circle)
“Orangetheory is your workout staple. It’s that multivitamin you take three or four times a week to metabolically charge the body – to have more energy, to lose weight, feel great, and simply become the best physical version of you.” – Ellen Latham, M.S. (Orangetheory Fitness founder)
Orangetheory Fitness delivers a total-body group workout that leverages technology to help you achieve your physical fitness goals. Its technology measures your heart rate to determine when you should push harder or when you should pull back so you achieve the 12+ minutes in the “Orange Zone” that boost your metabolism, raise your energy level, and burn fat. And you have a fun, trained instructor to guide you beyond the plateau!
If you’ve felt stuck and need a boost, give the new Orangetheory Fitness at Fairfax Circle a try! The first class is free!
Orangetheory Fitness is located at 10384 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax, VA 22030 in the new Point 50 shopping center.

When we look for franchise locations, Fairfax was a great fit. The city is full of active, fitness-minded locals, centered around a vibrant city community. The density and the demographic fit the Orangetheory model perfectly!What do you enjoy most about having a business in Fairfax City?
This particular location has some of our most friendly and enthusiastic members. During our construction phase, our certified Coaches held outdoor classes in our parking lot. The classes were well attended and we got a true glimpse of how much support we would receive once we opened our doors. Our members are amazing!How has Orangetheory Fitness changed since its opening?

Over the past 7 years, we have been a part of hundreds of amazing success stories. We should write a book, come to think of it! One that comes to mind is a member that came to us at over 300 lbs. The courage it took to walk in and start to take control of her life is inspiring. She had trouble getting off of our rowers and our team held her hands in class to steady her week after week, until she started to regain her health and mobility. Today, she is a healthy weight and has recently given birth to a beautiful baby girl!What’s next for you and Orangetheory Fitness?
