CRUSH FITNESS
Power couple Lander Peerman and Noah Wright’s “crush” on each other sparked the opening of Crush Fitness, based on a workout format with equal-length intervals of cardio on a treadmill and weight training and resistance exercises in a group setting.

ORANGETHEORY
With a dozen studios in Austin, Orangetheory’s concept of interval training is clearly catching on. Its classes are based on the physiological principle known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, so its 60-minute classes are all about intervals and the use of heart-rate monitors, so you can still burn calories up to 36 hours after class.

Austinites flock to Ride, founded by Kim Dowling, in part because of the nonstop music. Its slogan, after all, is “Ride. Rock. Repeat.” Look for themed classes, all using top-of-theline Schwinn bikes. 117 Lavaca St., 512-322-5252; ride-indoorcycling.com
