As any professional spin instructor knows, leading a successful class requires a lot more than just instructing riders. Crafting high-quality playlists that motivate and incorporate choreography within your rides helps take your classes to the next level, but both activities also take hours upon hours to get right.

FITRADIO and Honors Holdings, LLC, Announce Music Partnership 

The music curation service will assist the leading global franchisee of Orangetheory Fitness studios in playlist creation 

ATLANTA (June 23, 2021) – Leading a premium fitness experience requires a coach’s full attention, especially for the fast-paced, small group interval training classes at Orangetheory Fitness. In this high-energy atmosphere, coaches are laser-focused on leading workouts, correcting member form, and motivating the class. While they do their best to craft high-energy playlists, it can often be time-consuming to find and program the right music mix for Orangetheory Fitness classes. When the team at Honors Holdings, LLC, realized a vast majority of their coaches were already using FITRADIO’s DJ-curated playlists, the choice was clear for the Atlanta-based operator.
