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. Classes are held in a clublike environmen­t with pumping music, flattering lights, and a trainer to help you burn up to 800 calories in an hour. 300 S. Lamar Blvd., Ste.

MOD FITNESS

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.

RIDE

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

The New York City-based spin studio came to Austin last year with its first space at Domain Northside, and now it has opened a 56-bike studio downtown right along Congress.
