In the context of Orangetheory, what does the term 'splat points' refer to?

The term 'splat points' in the context of Orangetheory refers to the points awarded for every minute spent in the orange and red heart rate zones. This system is designed to encourage participants to push their limits and achieve higher intensity during workouts. Spending time in these zones indicates a higher level of exertion and is linked to maximizing calorie burn and improving cardiovascular fitness. Each minute spent in these zones contributes to the overall effectiveness of the workout, and accumulating splat points serves as a motivating factor for members to engage in more intense exercise.

While points for attending classes or deductions for missed classes may contribute to other forms of tracking progress in fitness or loyalty programs, they do not specifically relate to the intensity of the workout as splat points do. Similarly, calculating points based on equipment usage does not capture the heart rate-driven focus that splat points represent, which is a crucial element of the Orangetheory workout philosophy.
