Ellen Latham would probably have been happy teaching classes at her popular fitness studio in south Florida until she turned ninety. After being fired from her dream job as a spa director, she’d found stability with her own small business, and began developing a workout program that incorporated strength and cardio for all fitness levels.

With two partners, she grew her workout concept into Orangetheory Fitness, a franchise that today has over 1,500 locations around the world.
