Orange Theory-45min

Jeremy Liban

Hello, I'm Jeremy, and I love to MOVE. Whether it is (but not limited to) running, rowing, jumping, lifting, climbing or dancing, you can count me in!

Hello, I'm Jeremy, and I love to MOVE. Whether it is (but not limited to) running, rowing, jumping, lifting, climbing or dancing, you can count me in! I train myself and teach others not only move, but to move with quality, efficiency and with a goal in mind. Do you know 'that feeling', when your heart is pumping, muscles are burning, sweat is dripping down every inch of your body? Yes! You feel unstoppable, after achieving the unthinkable! It's 'that feeling', that I burn for! My entire life, I have been active. I played competitive sports, practiced martial arts, and had my share of triumph, injury and defeat. I left my corporate career to follow my passion for fitness to train and learn from some of the best movement teachers and strength & conditioning specialists from around the world. It was a tremendously risky move, but the benefits and the lives changed have been worthwhile. My goal is to share this knowledge to help others experience 'that feeling' (above) and live healthier and happier lives. I am excited to be a part of the Orangetheory Team. The workout variety, performance challenges and team atmosphere are what constantly attracts me. In less than a year, we have built a strong fitness community that is truly supportive, inspiring and fun! I look forward to continuing this journey with you. If you see me around the studio, please don't hesitate to reach out and share your experiences and successes.

Class Description
Orange 45 min
Get results you can see and feel! During our heart-rate based HIIT workout, Jeremy will guide you through our 5 different heart rate zones: resting, easy, challenging, uncomfortable and All Out, telling you when to push harder and when to pull back for recovery. The goal is an elevated heart rate in “The Orange Zone” to boost your metabolism, burn fat and burn more calories.

Barry's Bootcamp-Total Body

Holly Keskey-Koester

Three words to describe my teaching style would be detailed, intense, and motivational.

Three words to describe my teaching style would be detailed, intense, and motivational. My classes are fun and high-energy so you can expect a non-stop, high-energy party that will leave you sweaty, confident, and ready for the next challenge that’s thrown your way. My favorite day of the week is Thursday, Abs and Ass, and my playlist genre of choice is throwback pop.

On a personal note, I can’t live without my kid, my guilty pleasure is bottomless bowls of cereal and online shopping. My friends would say I’m funny, supportive, and a caretaker whose attention to detail is borderline obnoxious.

The Bar Method

Emily Youkers

The signature method uses your own body weight, the ballet barre and a few props to create a transformative workout that results in long, lean sculpted muscles.

Emily discovered Bar Method in 2016 after trying several barre studios in Chicago and she instantly found her community. She became so inspired by the technique, focus on form, the physical transformation and mental clarity she gained that she decided to become a Bar Method instructor. After teaching just one year, she had the opportunity to purchase the Gold Coast location.
