"Our 200^th open studio is certainly a landmark opening for the brand, and Gainesville holds a special place in my heart because it's home to my alma mater, the University of Florida," said Dave Long, chief executive officer of Orangetheory Fitness. "That being said, we are nowhere near reaching our goals and will continue to strive to hit the next benchmark. Our goal is to make the world a healthier, fitter place by turning it orange. Our continued growth is a testament to the hard work of our dedicated professionals, our franchisees and the results that our members achieve from our workouts."

Orangetheory Fitness is on track to open an additional 100 locations by the end of 2015. The successful fitness franchise has plans to break into new markets including Hawaii, Oregon, Iowa, Arkansas and Nebraska. Its international presence will also expand with studios in Bogota, Colombia and Winchester, UK.

Today, Orangetheory Fitness has become one of the world's top fitness franchises, with 200 studios in 28 states, and more than 500 franchise licenses awarded in and outside of the United States. In addition to its newest international location in South America, the brand currently has studios in Canada and the U.K. and has signed a master agreement to bring the concept into Australia. The high energy, 60-minute, five-zone heart-rate monitored interval training concept has helped tens of thousands of members lose weight, get toned and meet their overall fitness goals in a short amount of time.
