THE PACE ORANGETHEORY


It’s hard to remember a time when an Orangetheory franchise wasn’t popping up on every corner; in just seven years, the


THE TECHNOLOGY THENX


SoFlo’s ever-evolving tech clique has a new member in Miami-based Thenx, the brainchild of city native Chris Heria. He’s maintained a gym in Allapattah since 2015, but Heria’s program uses streaming content and a newly launched app to teach users around the world the fundamentals of bodyweight training, step-by-step. Viewers—from first-timers to accomplished athletes—tap into daily content and progress through custom workouts to increase strength, burn fat and master a range of skills and movements. And you thought your phone was just for texting. à thenx.com


THE ATTITUDE VIXEN WORKOUT


Fort Lauderdale–based company, founded by physiologist Ellen Latham, has grown to more than 400 franchise locations in 40 states and six countries. The workout—designed to allow people the highest metabolic conditioning—is like South Florida: it’s both eclectic and fast-paced. Students in the group fitness class move through treadmill, weights and rowing exercises while keeping track of their heart rate via a monitor as they aim to remain in the “orange zone”: 84 to 91 percent of your max heart rate for 12 to 20 minutes throughout the class. Technical, right!?! à orangetheoryfitness.com


Sex appeal and confidence are hallmarks of the Magic City, so it was only a matter of time before someone channeled that energy into a fitness routine. Today, former Miami Heat dancer Janet Jones and her ever-growing #vixenarmy are inspiring women across the country to tap into their inner superstar via stageworthy (and super sexy) choreography that not only helps them de-stress but also incorporates full-body workouts and toning into each of its 150 proprietary routines. “I was born and raised in Miami, and my teenage years were spent in the nightclub scene in South Beach,” says Jones. “Add to that my professional experience in the world of entertainment and you have Vixen. Like Miami nightlife, it’s hard to explain—you just need to experience it.” And lucky for Miamians, that’s easier than ever: Vixen, which started in 2012 at Street Jamz Dance Studios, opened its very first stand-alone studio in Wynwood this winter. à 547 NW 28 St (vixenworkout.com)
