I go to Orange Theory classes and would like to just choose that for my exercise, why isn't it a choice?

    Because every single random "name brand" exercise isn't. Just use calisthenics.

    Since OrangeTheory gives you your calorie burn just create your own exercise called OrangeTheory and then add the calories from your summary email.

    In general, providing an option to choose an activity by the name of a copyrighted chain of fitness studios is not going to provide an estimate for the Calories burned for that activity or set of activities.

    You can choose to log pre-loaded exercises under Cardiovascular that provide similar activities, such as calisthenics or aerobics; or you can create a custom exercise and log an estimated number of Calories as provided by your fitness studio.

    Most online activity calculators use the published metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs) values that provide an estimate for Calories burned per minute for individual activites, which are estimates for a general population and may differ for you as an individual based on your level of intensity.

    MFP generally uses the 2011 METs values compiled in the Compendium of Physical Activities.

    Just use "Circuit Training".

    There isn't a choice for "overpriced circuit training"
