It’s just after 5 a.m. on a dreary mid-January morning, when the sun is still hidden behind low, dark clouds, and most of the country seems to want just a few more hours of sleep. For many, the winter blues begin to set in, and as the temperatures become more dismal, the days get shorter and the evenings appear blacker than ever. When combined with the mounting post-holiday credit card bills and not-so-easy New Year’s resolutions that are on the brink of falling by the wayside, some might fall into a slump once the fun and festivities have ended. But for those inside Orangetheory Fitness studios before sunrise, those winter blues are combated by warm orange hues, and the frigid temperatures, along with those uninvited holiday pounds, soon become distant memories. And Blue Monday – the so-called gloomiest date on the calendar – is no sweat. “When you’ve built your routine, then Blue Monday is just another day,” said Frank B., a two-year member at the Kensington studio in Calgary, Alberta. “My intrinsic motivation is always remembering the reason why I’m going. It’s because I know the end result of each individual workout is going to be a burst of energy, more cognitive ability and more benefit to me.” OTF Kensington member, Frank, showing off his Hell Week shirt while celebrating his 500th class. Exercise has a long correlation with boosting morale – and helping to ditch seasonal doldrums – through the release of endorphins, according to research. “Finding this gym and this community has uplifted my spirits,” said Jasmin T., a member at the Bowmanville studio outside of Toronto. “For people who need just a little pick-me-up, the coaches encourage every single person who’s there. The community is probably, besides the workout, the best part.” OTF Bowmanville member, Jasmin, showcasing her new Personal Best on the studios Brag Board. That community of dedicated members has helped dissuade the malaise that becomes more prevalent with less daylight and higher wind chill. Orangetheory locations across the country have served as year-round outlets where, regardless of outside distractions, the focus inside is on personal well-being and self-care. Since Jasmin is only able to attend evening classes – when after-work fatigue coupled with sunset as early as 3 p.m. can leave some dreading a quality workout – she cocreated a special in-studio routine that she now looks forward to all week. “We have Friday night fun crews that we set up at 7 o’clock, which is the last class of the day that (fewer people used) to go to,” she said. “Now, it’s usually completely full and waitlisted because we basically make it into a dance party. We cheer each other on, and we’ll break into dance moves on the floor before some of the blocks… Overall, the community is probably, besides the endorphins that you get, the best part.” Still, no one is immune to feeling lethargic or unmotivated on a particularly sluggish weeknight. That’s precisely when Jessica Bejcar, Orangetheory Senior Head Coach in North Edmonton, encourages members to get to a nearby studio. Senior Head Coach of Edmonton North, Jessica Bejcar, leads a cool-down stretch alongside members following a workout. Even if a sweat session doesn’t sound appealing in the moment, pushing yourself on the treadmill and weight room stations can go a long way toward upping energy levels, relieving anxiety and making it feel far warmer than the -20 degrees Celsius on the thermometer. “I like to joke that it’s the one place where you’re going to be the warmest throughout the day, (so it’s like) paying extra on your heating bill,” Bejcar said. “I know it is hard when it’s so dark all the time and you’re feeling beat up, but going to a class is the best way to turn your night around… If you can at least have one positive in your evening, it usually puts you on a more positive path for the rest of your night, even if you just go home happier because you were able to get your stress out in the workout.” And when your mind is too preoccupied with work or family obligations, Orangetheory coaches are there to take away another layer of anxiety by accounting for every minute of an hour-long class. “If people had meetings all day, they’re stressed out; they’re not going to want to then plan their workouts,” Bejcar said. “The nice thing with us is (members) don’t have to even think about anything other than pushing themselves.” After three years in the fitness industry, Tony Felgueiras, Orangetheory Senior Head Coach in the Greater Toronto Area, recognized how three central elements work in unison to dissuade the stagnation brought about by typical Blue Monday symptoms. Senior Head Coach of the Greater Toronto Area, Tony Felgueiras, hi-fiving a member post workout. “One factor is just energy from the workout itself, getting your body moving and being motivated by your coach, who’s in the room and encouraging you,” he said. “The second is community. Almost anybody who comes to an Orangetheory class is not just coming for the class, but they’re also coming for the people who are working out (alongside them)… And the third thing about Orangetheory is that since we are reservation-based, it’s great for accountability. When you pre-book your class ahead of time, that helps you stay accountable.” When it comes to personal goals and foll...
