Orange Shoe Personal Fitness - Brookfield

Flash! Bam! Alakazam! ✴️ These shoes (and our clients’ futures) are so bright that we need shades! 😎 Shoutout to McKenna and the Fleet Feet Madison, WI crew for finding Scott’s next pair of orange kicks! 👟

Be sure to get out and support our local parks and recreation on July 4th! One of our OG clients leads this event to give back to the Lake Country community — thanks K family!! 🧡

Many of us utilize the trails and greenery for physical activity and being in-tune with nature! This event supports the longevity of the preserved natural spaces around us 🌲

🛑 Stop comparing your beginning to someone else’s peak 😁

The perfect expo to show off our value proposition 💪

Over 20 years ago and these two still look the same 🤯

It’s graduation season! 🎓 Some words of wisdom from the Orange Shoe OGs:

“Katie and I have had the privilege of working with thousands of people over the past 20 years. Through all the workouts and conversations, a couple of lessons keep showing up:

Lesson 1: We make our goals a bigger deal than they need to be.
You don’t need more information—you need more action.

Lesson 2: What feels hard now won’t stay hard.
Stick with it, and in a few weeks or months, the “challenging” becomes normal.

It’s not just fitness—it’s life.

I know someone who decided at age 60 to train for an Ironman.
Year one, he was pulled from the swim by the rescue team.
Year two, he finished—but not in the time he wanted.
Year three, he finished on his terms.

A lot of times, our goals are realistic, but our timelines are not. Keep this in mind when you set out to accomplish something new.

I believed this 20 years ago—and I believe it even more today: the best investment you’ll ever make is in people.

Thank you for trusting us with your most valuable asset—your time. We look forward to sharing more from what we’ve learned along the way, and hopefully making your health journey a little clearer.”

Doesn’t this make you want a fresh chopped salad or sandwich? 😋

We loved celebrating with, and are so excited for her!! 🧡

Around the summer of 2011 we had just finished training for (and completing) a marathon and were looking for new ways to continue living a fit lifestyle but with a little less running. We liked the idea of joining a gym that could offer group classes for motivation and some guidance on strength training, which we knew would become more important as we aged. As luck would have it, we discovered Orange Shoe right in our neighborhood and found it was a perfect fit! We really enjoyed the variety of classes, personal attention, and the fantastic group of trainers and fellow gym members. 🏋️‍♀️

We love to travel and we definitely feel like our time at Orange Shoe has helped us sustain the level of fitness we need to do the things we want to do on our adventures, like climbing the Manitou Incline in Colorado, hiking the Kalalau Trail in Kauai, and 20K-step days touring Rome. Oh, and our biggest adventure yet, Mara’s pregnancy in 2012! Mara worked out at Orange Shoe throughout her entire pregnancy and feels this was a great benefit to both her and our daughter. 🤰

Now, as our daughter has gotten older and wants to try downhill skiing or ziplining, we aren’t afraid to be right there with her. We feel confident that the work we put in now, made easier through our time at Orange Shoe, will help us continue to live a healthy and active lifestyle. ⛷️
