Many New Year’s resolutions end in failure, but some resolutions may lead to something great – perhaps even a new life path or business opportunity.
In January 2025, Chelsea residents Heather and Matt Schweikher made a resolution to improve their health, and they chose Orangetheory Fitness in Inverness instead of the typical big-box gym.
“We quickly fell in love with the coaches, classes and strong sense of community that makes OTF unique,” Matt and Heather say.
Not only that, but the Inverness franchise went up for sale in August, and the Schweikhers jumped at the opportunity to buy it.
“It’s a brand we truly believe in, and we’re excited to build on its success and continue supporting the members and coaches who make the studio special,” they say.
A national brand, Orangetheory Fitness was voted the best gym in America by USA Today. It combines full-body strength training with heart-pumping cardio to help you build strength now, while laying the foundation for long-term health. Orangetheory supercharges your metabolism so you’re burning calories and fat while building lean muscle.
“Orangetheory is special because it combines science-backed, coach-led workouts with a supportive, motivating community,” Matt and Heather say. “The heart rate-based training allows members of all fitness levels to be challenged safely, while the coaches and studio culture create accountability, energy and connection that keep people coming back.”
Orangetheory also removes “the guesswork” from exercise, the couple say. “Every class is coached and already planned, so you just show up and put in the work.”
Workouts are personalized, and members don’t face any pressure to perform. You don’t even need to be fit to get started, and you’ll always receive encouragement and support.
Members take advantage of a cutting-edge facility. “Orangetheory’s equipment and technology are designed to work together, not just sit in a gym,” Matt and Heather say.“Heart-rate monitors give real-time feedback, so members know when to push or recover. Every treadmill, rower and strength exercise is part of a structured, results-driven workout. We’ve also just invested in new state-of-the-art treadmills.”
The Inverness facility is teaming up with HYROX – a global fitness race – to prepare members for HYROX events using the treadmill, rower and strength exercises many Orangetheory members already do.
If you want to try out all the benefits of Orangetheory Fitness, then take a class – and your first class at the Inverness gym is free.
