Solana Beach Spotlight: Orangetheory Fitness

Orangetheory is a boutique fitness studio that incorporates HIIT (high-intensity interval training) with long recovery periods. Classes typically utilize three primary stations: treadmill, indoor rowing, and weight training. Each class will be catered with an endurance, power, strength, or combination emphasis.
