Krissy Vann | Host, All Things Fitness and Wellness
As the fall season approaches and the leaves begin to change, fitness centers and studios are stepping up to fill the gap left by traditional third spaces in many communities. Orangetheory Fitness is bringing a seasonal twist to its workout routines with the return of its popular "PSL" workout. Scheduled for August 27th, this special class redefines PSL as (P)ress, (S)quat, and (L)unge, offering members a unique and invigorating way to kickstart the season.
"This PSL workout is our special one-day-only event that brings a challenging, yet fun twist to our members' fitness routines," said Rachel Vaziralli, Director of Fitness Design at Orangetheory Fitness. "It's a fantastic way to infuse the spirit of fall into our science-backed classes, making the seasonal transition both energizing and effective."
In celebration of the event, select OTF studio locations will provide an assortment of post-workout pumpkin-themed treats. These offerings may include a coffee shop gift card, a 'make it yourself' PSL station, real pumpkin spice lattes post-class, or limited-time products from RXBAR and Smoothie King. RXBAR is set to feature its limited-edition Pumpkin Spice bars, while Smoothie King will offer samples of its new Pumpkin Power Meal Smoothies. Additionally, special discounts and promotions from RXBAR and Smoothie King will be available through OTF and Smoothie King's mobile app, ensuring that members can enjoy their PSL cravings beyond the studio.
The PSL workout, curated by the fitness design team, includes a press, squat, and lunge-focused floor exercise section, multiple rowing challenges, and a 23-minute endurance block on the treadmill.
As fitness centers and studios increasingly step in to fill the role of third spaces in communities, events like the PSL workout at Orangetheory Fitness highlight their evolving significance. Beyond just a place to exercise, these studios are becoming vital hubs where people can connect, engage, and foster a sense of community. The PSL workout is not just a fun and challenging way to kickstart the fall season—it's also a testament to how fitness spaces are meeting the growing demand for connection in today’s world.
