Yes, you can ride a bike in the Dri Tri — it’s a stationary bike segment in the competition, which replaces the traditional outdoor cycling leg.
What exactly is a dry Tri?
A Dry Tri is an indoor triathlon that skips the swim, using a rower, bike, and treadmill instead to make the event accessible year-round for all fitness levels.
Forget open water worries. This version keeps things simple with a 10-minute row, 20 minutes on a Keiser M3i bike, and a 5K treadmill run. Orangetheory Fitness runs it twice yearly as part of their Dri-Tri challenge. Picture a triathlon you can do inside, no weather delays, no logistical headaches — just you and the machines.
What are those 300 bodyweight exercises in the DRI-Tri?
The DRI-Tri packs 300 reps of six bodyweight moves, done in circuits to test your endurance and strength without any equipment.
Expect squats, lunges, push-ups, mountain climbers, burpees, and planks — 50 reps of each. Between each block, you’ll hop on the WaterRower machines for 400m or bike for a mile to keep your heart pounding. The whole thing’s a brutal but straightforward test of grit: finish all 300 reps as fast as you can.
How often does Orangetheory run the Dri Tri?
Orangetheory hosts the Dri Tri twice a year, usually in spring and fall, as a special member challenge.
You’re racing against your personal best, not other people — though some studios add leaderboards for extra motivation. Registration opens a few weeks out, and spots vanish fast. Check your local studio’s 2026 schedule for exact dates. Honestly, this is the best way to break a fitness plateau in bad weather months.
What’s an Orangetheory Regatta?
A Regatta is a 2,000m team rowing race on WaterRower machines, partners splitting the distance to represent a country of their choice.
Every 500m, teammates swap places, turning it into a strategic, social challenge. It’s a fun way to build endurance while working with a partner. Many studios go all out with costumes and prizes to keep the energy high.
What’s Marathon Month at Orangetheory?
Marathon Month is a 30-day challenge to log marathon-distance (26.2 miles) or more, whether that’s half marathons, full marathons, or ultramarathons.
You can count treadmill runs, outdoor miles, or even rowing sessions — whatever fits your routine. It’s a solid way to build consistency and push past plateaus. Many studios reward participants with badges or shoutouts when they hit their goal.
What’s a 5×5 Orangetheory workout?
A 5×5 workout means five rounds of five exercises, each for five reps to build strength and endurance efficiently.
This format follows classic strength training principles, so it’s great for beginners. Common moves include squats, deadlifts, push-ups, rows, and core work. Simple, effective, and perfect for tracking progress safely.
What’s the DRI Tri Sprint?
The Dri-Tri Sprint is a shorter version of the full Dri Tri, with a 1,000m row, 150 bodyweight reps, and a 2.5K run.
Ideal for beginners or anyone short on time, it keeps the same competitive spirit but scales down the distances. Registration is in-person at participating studios, so move fast if you’re interested. The Sprint’s a great way to test your fitness without the full commitment.
What does Orangetheory Infinity mean?
Infinity is a challenge where you track how far you can go on the rower or treadmill in a set time, trying to beat your previous best.
The treadmill tracks miles, the rower counts meters — simple but addictive. Studios often use it as a finisher or standalone challenge. The goal? Keep moving, push your limits, no matter the pace.
What is Lift 45 at Orangetheory?
Lift 45 is a 45-minute class focused entirely on strength training, using free weights, resistance bands, and bodyweight moves.
No cardio distractions here — just pure lifting. Studios offer it as a standalone class or add it to the weekly schedule for variety. Great for building muscle and preventing injuries.
How long is the ultra marathon at OTF?
The Orangetheory Ultra Marathon is 31.1 miles, the official ultramarathon distance.
You don’t run it all at once — spread over a month, logging miles in class or outside. It’s less about speed, more about endurance and consistency. Many use it to break through performance walls and test mental toughness.
How many miles is a marathon anyway?
A marathon is 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometers), standardized way back in 1921 by the International Amateur Athletic Federation.
The oddly precise distance comes from the 1908 London Olympics, where the course was extended to end in front of the royal box. Today, it’s the ultimate endurance benchmark. Fun fact: the first modern marathon commemorated Pheidippides’ legendary run from Marathon to Athens in 490 BCE.
How far is the Orangetheory Ultra Marathon?
The Orangetheory Ultra Marathon is 31.1 miles, completed over a month through logged runs and treadmill miles.
