PBC September Business of the Month: Orangetheory Fitness!

We are pleased to announce that Orangetheory Fitness was chosen as the September Business of the Month by PBC Board Members.

Orangetheory Fitness is always helping its community in many ways. Most recently, they provided a 90-minute class on July 31, 2021 and all donations went to The American Cancer Society. They also held a VIP class for MICU Strong, and are always looking for community organizations to partner with to raise money for nonprofits while having fun during their classes. Additionally, Orangetheory Fitness has been very supportive in their contributions to PBC events and programs.

Says owner Paola Horvath, "Orangetheory Fitness is community driven. We help the Penfield community live more life in and out of the studio. Our 6 month shut down really fueled us even more to help our community be stronger inside and out! Fitness is essential to all for many reasons and we are happy to help out our community whenever we can!"

Orangetheory Fitness is located in Baytowne Plaza, and you can check them out by visiting them here, too!
