Is there anything wrong with an Orange Theory or F45 type workout?
The other day, I overheard a trainer talking to another trainer about a member they knew left the gym to go to a new fitness studio. The member's new gym was a place similar to an F45 and Orange Theory. The trainers was essentially talking shit about the new fitness studio the member had switched over to. The shit talking they were doing is something I, too, have done in the past.
