Why might Orangetheory participants track their splat points?

Participants in Orangetheory Fitness track their splat points primarily to measure success and workout intensity. Splat points are awarded when a participant elevates their heart rate to a certain level, indicating that they are working hard enough to be in the optimal zone for calorie burn and cardiovascular training. By accumulating these points, individuals can gauge the intensity of their workouts over time, helping them understand their effort levels and track their fitness progress.

Monitoring splat points creates a useful feedback loop for participants. It enables them to push themselves appropriately during workouts and strive for improvement in their cardiovascular fitness. This tracking is essential as it can also motivate participants to reach specific fitness goals, fostering a personal competition that can enhance their overall results.

The other options do not align with the primary reasons for tracking splat points. Competing against others or evaluating coach performance are less relevant to personal fitness tracking and achievement. Determining the best time of day to work out is a matter of personal preference rather than something measured through splat points.
