Privacy choices

One of the four things below is yours to switch. Off means the tag is never loaded — nothing is requested from the company behind it, so there is nothing for it to see and no cookie for it to set. The other three run for everyone, and each one is listed with what does stop it rather than with a switch that does not. You can change your answer whenever you like from the Privacy choices link in the footer.

Measurement

Always on

Google Analytics, plus Vercel's cookieless page counts: how many people reached the site, where they came from, and how many finished a booking. This one runs either way. The cookie policy explains how to stop it in your browser.

Advertising

Always on

The Meta pixel for Facebook and Instagram. It reports back that an ad led to a booking, and it lets an advert for STEPFIT be shown to you on other sites afterwards. This one runs either way, and there is no switch here for it — the cookie policy explains what does stop it in your browser.

Visitor identification

Always on

retention.com matches signals from your visit against a database built from other sites, and where it finds a match it can tell us a named person was here — even if you never typed anything. This one runs for everyone and there is no switch here for it. What we receive is kept and marked as coming from identification, and may be used for marketing email — nothing has been sent yet, and anything sent carries a one-click unsubscribe link.

Opt out of retention.com on every site that uses it — app.retention.com/optout

Session recording

Microsoft Clarity replays how a page was used — where the pointer moved, what was clicked, how far you scrolled. It is kept off the waiver page, the careers form and the contact form, and that exclusion is written into this site’s own code rather than set in Microsoft’s dashboard.

Stepfit vs Orangetheory

Both are group fitness classes in Tampa, and they are built on opposite ideas of what a workout should feel like. Orangetheory measures your effort and shows it back to you. Stepfit sets a tempo and asks you to stay on it.

Both run in Tampa

Orangetheory runs several studios around Tampa, so this is a real local choice rather than a hypothetical one.

Side by side

The class

Stepfit

55 minutes of step choreography on a platform, danced to Latin, hip-hop and global music.

Orangetheory

About an hour split across treadmills, rowers and a strength floor.

Shape of the hour

Stepfit

Continuous. One flow from the first track to the last.

Orangetheory

Interval blocks, timed, with recovery built between them.

What you follow

Stepfit

The instructor and the beat. No monitor, no screen.

Orangetheory

A heart-rate monitor feeding live zone data to screens in the studio.

Equipment

Stepfit

A platform. We supply it — just bring yourself.

Orangetheory

Treadmills, rowers and strength equipment.

What it works

Stepfit

Glutes, legs and core, plus conditioning, through sustained stepping.

Orangetheory

Endurance, strength and power across the three stations.

Price

Stepfit

$19.95 a class. No membership, no contract.

Orangetheory

Varies by studio — check with your nearest one.

Which one you want

Go to Orangetheory if you want your effort measured. The zones, the numbers, the record of what you did — that is the entire point of it, and it is a real thing to want. Stepfit gives you none of that. Come here if you would rather stop watching a screen and follow a room instead.

The short version

If a number on a screen is what keeps you going, Stepfit will not give you one. If gyms have always felt like a fitness test, this is the class that feels like a night out. $19.95, platforms supplied, no experience needed.
