The certified personal trainers at Orangetheory in Mooresville truly believe the work you put in at their studio makes all the difference out there in your personal world – and wherever your day-to-day journey takes you!
Once you’ve only barely stepped into the studio, you are already drawn to the multiple flashing colors up on the large screen – that’s their heart rate monitoring technology hard at work. Amazingly, it is capturing the unique heart rates of nearly one million members worldwide, and soon, you will have a good feel for what these colors actually mean for you!
The studio, now with eight employees, has been at this location since April of 2017, and owner/operator, Daniel Schloss, walks us through the importance of the technology.
“The OTbeat technology is all about real time heart rate training,” he explains. “While working out, your heart rate will obviously go up and down based off your effort and intensity. With the monitoring system, members can see exactly what their hearts are doing, and, over time, they can see how their hearts have strengthened and how their performance has improved.”
Your results are sent to you and stored in the Orangetheory App, so you can see how you have improved over time with Orangetheory’s many benchmarks and specialty workouts!
What makes heart rate-based interval training so effective?
“Heart rate interval training manipulates the heart rate to respond to the effort and intensity,” says Daniel. “Some days we focus on endurance and being able to do more steady training, and some days may be power days, which really gets into explosive movements and working your fast twitch muscle. Other days we work strength and inclines to build the overall body.”
At the end of the day, Daniel explains, it’s all about functional training: You strengthen your heart and muscles to be able to do everyday activities and you feel good about it.
“Yes, you may get sore, but soreness is great when you’re getting more life out of your workouts and your day-to-day activities!” he says. “We really emphasize being able to complete the workout at your own pace,” says Daniel. “We are for all levels of fitness from beginners to the advanced lifters and runners … we have people who have never worked out, all the way to pro athletes. Our amazing coaches are certified to offer plenty of options for any injuries to make sure you are getting a great, safe workout.”
You don’t have to look far to find what’s different about Orangetheory Mooresville: It’s the community. By the way, member ages range from 14 to 78!
“When you walk into our studio you can feel the family atmosphere,” says Daniel. “The staff loves to get to know all members, and there are always people to meet and new friends to make while getting in a great workout.”

“My family started working out at Orangetheory about three years ago, after a good friend and coach at the Mooresville location, Holly Bosman, thought we would enjoy the challenge. After the first workout, I was hooked! If you have a teenage son or daughter, it’s also a great way to spend an hour bonding with them!” – Jim Williams
