## What is Orange Zones Workout Companion?

Maximize Every Beat with Orange Zone: Your Heart-Powered Workout Companion

Elevate your fitness with Orange Zone – the app that tailors every workout to your heartbeat. Dive into science-backed training that harnesses the power of heart rate zones to amplify calorie burn and optimize performance. Whether you're clocking miles or mastering HIIT, your pulse is the key to unleashing potential.

Points for Passion: Each minute in the high-intensity orange and red zones earns you points, making workouts not just about time, but about effort. Chase down 12 points or more to hit peak efficiency and turn effort into results.

Heart Sync: Link your Apple Watch or any Bluetooth heart rate monitor to live track your zones. Witness your exertion level in vibrant colors and numbers – all in real time.

Personalized Intensity Zones: Orange Zone calculates your unique heart rate zones from your max heart rate. Stay focused, train smart, and watch your personal bests become your warm-ups.

Freedom to Move: Go untethered with the stand-alone Apple Watch feature, or let your iPhone be your dashboard. See every stat magnified as you stride or lift.

Multi-Platform Motivation: Kickstart and conclude your sessions with your iPhone – a real-time monitor and a post-workout archive of your achievements.

Inclusive Fitness: Orange Zone speaks to every body and every ambition. It's not just about being an athlete; it's about being more you, one beat at a time.

Diverse Workouts: Embrace the beat across multiple disciplines – from the swift sprint to the serene cycle, the hearty hike to the rhythm of the row.

Visual Zone Mapping: Five vivid heart rate zones deliver instant insight into your workout intensity. Know when to push, when to pace, and when to power down.

Transform Your Training with Orange Zone – Where your heart leads, results follow. Join the community that's redefining fitness, one zone at a time.

1. All Out (RED) - For improving performance and speed.
2. Orange Zone! (ORANGE)- For getting faster and leaner. Drives metabolism. 
3. Challenging (GREEN) - For improving cardio endurance.
4. Easy (BLUE) - For longer exercise. Predominantly uses fat for energy.
5. Resting (GREY) - For preparation and recovery. Does not improve fitness. 

Maximize your afterburn, or "EPOC" by earning at least 12 points, spending at least 12 minutes in the Orange and Red Zones. Or, opt for a lower-intensity day and stay in the Green Zone to improve endurance.

### 1/5 — No support

*2026-05-17, version 1.60.2*

Hi, I’m very frustrated with this developer as I have reached out 3 separate times for assistance with connecting the app on my iPhone to my Garmin watch.  As a paying customer I expect better service than this.

### 5/5 — Loveeeee

*2026-04-21, version 1.57.1*

Love OTF! Love that I can use orange zones to help me maximize my workouts outside of OTF.  We locked in 🔒

### 5/5 — App is motivating!

*2026-02-14, version 1.57.1*

This app motivates me to workout harder at the gym, at home or on the trail. It is one of my most used apps on my watch, even more than music or maps! It keeps a record of each workout intensity (time, points, heart rate, steps, calories) on its calendar or a list for easy viewing. 
I can go back all four years that I’ve used it!!

### 5/5 — Baby it’s cold outside

*2026-02-01, version 1.57.1*

But not inside. Thanks for a great class John!

### 5/5 — Loveeeee

*2025-10-20, version 1.54.5*

Love OTF! Love that I can use orange zones to help me maximize my workouts outside of OTF.  We locked in 🔒

### 1/5 — Need subscription

*2025-08-25, version 1.54.5*

Unable to use without subscription

### 2/5 — Doesnt work. Support doesnt work. Beware of Free Trial trap. I still got charged on 1st day

*2025-01-11, version 1.50.15*

Didnt work for me. Contacting support doesnt help. Also, I tried it for 7 days but got charged right after signing up for trial. Trial is not really a trial? No way to know. They dont to respond to any support request.

### 5/5 — Happy Thanksgiving Day

*2024-11-29, version 1.50.15*

Thanks for a great class Jon. The playlist, encouragement and coaching was spectacular!

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2024-05-23, version 1.45.26*

On the AppStore it seems like this app is free. However, upon downloading, you can only actually set your max heart rate. That’s it. You can’t even start a workout without getting hit with a paywall. I might consider paying a subscription for this app if the prices weren’t so outrageous: $9.99/month or $89.99/year. I mean, in the long run, sticking with a regular OTF beat burn makes more sense: $119 flat fee. In addition, you actually CAN do most of this stuff on the Apple watch for free. Use the HITT workout feature, and orange theory provides your heart rate zones in conjunction with their grey-red zones in their app. Just look at your health data to see your heart rates and you can manually determine which zones your heart was in.

### 1/5 — Started charging

*2024-05-02, version 1.45.22*

This app was useful when it was free. Might as well buy the OTF monitor instead of paying for another subscription based app.
