OTF Fitness Coaches are responsible for passionately delivering scientifically predesigned workouts to a diverse group of clients. This position requires a strong ability to connect with others, instruct proper physical technique and form, and motivate multiple clients in a group setting. An OTF Coach must be knowledgeable and well-rounded in a broad number of fitness aspects, including interval training, heart rate response, human biomechanics and foundational movement patterns, and endurance, strength, and power program design
The first responsibility of the OTF Coach is to deliver predesigned workouts that are sent out monthly to the network. All Orangetheory workouts, or templates, are created, tested, and edited by a Global Support Center based Template Design Team (TDT) under the direction of Ellen Latham. Each workout is designed for global scalability, is extensively tested throughout the network prior to delivery, and is created to accommodate a wide range of athletic abilities and varied studio sizes.
Motivating members is an important responsibility of OTF coaches. To elicit superior results, Orangetheory workouts must challenge the clients while leaving them feel personally successful. It is imperative Fitness Coaches are able to not only execute the template successfully but must also be able to establish an emotional connection with members. Without proper motivation, members may potentially become discouraged and ultimately discontinue their memberships. A good coach can help members build the self-efficacy that will help establish Orangetheory as a permanent component in their daily life.
