Free Summer Gym Program for Youth

OrangeTheory Fitness is a one-hour, full-body, science-backed, technology-tracked and coach-inspired group workout that makes it simple to get more out of life. Now Detroit teens can work out for free through August 31, partnering with Detroit Kids Matter in the More Life for Detroit Youth program, to help city teens live a healthier lifestyle. Local students 14 to 18 years old can participate. The goal is to introduce long-term fitness and healthy habits under the guidance of certified coaches in a fun and positive environment.

            The program focuses on heart rate-based training that is guaranteed to produce results from the inside-out and burn calories post-workout. It’s tracked by technology to provide results in real time and led by a fitness coach to prevent over- or under-training. Studio manager Tess Hochstein says, “This is a great opportunity for young people to work out in a safe, stable and nurturing environment while learning a holistic approach to health and wellness that can last a lifetime.”
