Twice a year, Orangetheory Fitness hosts a DriTri — a special class that OTF enthusiasts prepare for. It's a competition (with yourself) to see how quickly you can row 2,000 meters, complete 300 reps of six bodyweight exercises, and finish a 5K run or 1.55-mile power walk on the treadmill.

Six months later, you see if you can beat your previous numbers. In 2023, the Orangetheory DriTri took place at the end of March and then again in mid-September (the date varies by studio). This year, the Dri-Tri for fall 2024 is starting September 20-22, although exact dates vary by studio location.

Registration begins Sept. 1, leaving you plenty of time to sign up and start prepping. Basically, the DriTri is a big deal in the OTF community, but if you don't know what it's about, are a beginner at Orangetheory , or are curious about taking on this year's fitness event, we spoke to Orangetheory experts to get all the expert info.

What Is the Orangetheory DriTri? As the name indicates, the DriTri is a sort of triathlon completed on dry land (in this case, an Orangetheory Fitness studio). It starts off with a 2,000-meter row, then you move to the weight floor where you complete 300 reps total of six bodyweight exercises (more on those later), and then run a 5K (3.1 miles) or power walk 1.

55 miles for time. DriTri classes are held at designated times (as opposed to the traditional workout of the day), and each DriTri class is dedicated to that event specifically. Registration is open to all .
