Fitness

Eight years since its inception, Orangetheory Fitness is bringing back its beloved and demanding Halloween challenge, Hell Week. Themed as “Hell Week Has Been Hacked,” a mysterious and intense eight-day challenge awaits Orangetheory Fitness members.

Within eight days, those who accept the challenge must complete at least five of the eight themed classes which will be held at participating locations from Oct. 24 through Oct. 31. Orangetheory Fitness told POPSUGAR “this challenge is designed to challenge members more than the normal workouts where members test their willpower, determination, discipline and endurance.”
