On which piece of equipment do all Orangetheory Fitness intros begin class?

In Orangetheory Fitness classes, all introductory sessions typically begin on rowers. This practice is intentional because rowing provides a full-body warm-up that effectively engages multiple muscle groups simultaneously. By starting on the rowers, participants can elevate their heart rates, improve their functional movements, and establish a baseline of effort for the class ahead.

Rowing also allows participants to familiarize themselves with the proper form and technique, which is vital for preventing injuries during high-intensity workouts. This focus on form helps new members understand how to integrate their efforts and energy throughout the session, setting a strong foundation for subsequent exercises that will involve other pieces of equipment like treadmills, bikes, or kettlebells.

Starting on different types of equipment might not provide the same level of engagement or warm-up benefits, which is why rowers are the chosen starting point for intros.
