The WTF is OTF?! Comedy Event Will Feature a Live Audience in NYC and
Air Globally on TikTok February 28
BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Orangetheory Fitness and comedian Hannah Berner today announced the breakout performer’s next comedy event: WTF is OTF?! On Feb. 28, Berner will take the stage for a roast of the fitness industry and the many clichés and fads that come along with it—ultimately poking fun at all the “fitness WTFs” out there. The event will take place in the heart of New York City and livestream on TikTok.
“This WTF is OTF?! Comedy Event is going to be epic. Expect laughs, roasts and maybe a little sweat,'” said Hannah Berner. “I know firsthand what it’s like to be in a bit of a fitness limbo, and all of the fads swirling around at the start of the year don’t help. What Orangetheory helped me to realize is that sweating it out doesn’t have to be too serious, and this partnership proves that while answering all of our biggest fitness WTFs.”
“Nearly half of Americans set out to improve their fitness this year. Yet, we also know that an estimated 80% of people part ways with their resolutions after mid-February,” stated Ellen Latham, creator and co-founder of Orangetheory Fitness. “At a time when many are feeling defeated, we hope a bit of lighthearted fun can remind people that we’re all in this together. And that ultimately, what matters most in a sea of fleeting fads and unrealistic expectations is moving in ways that feel healthy and right for each person.”
The WTF is OTF?! Comedy Event will take place in Orangetheory’s Manhattan-East 39th Street studio on Feb. 28, with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. Following the set, attendees will join Hannah Berner in a one-hour Orangetheory workout so everyone can finally answer the most anticipated question of the night…”WTF is OTF?!” Registration for the in-person event will open online on Feb. 21 at 12:00 pm EST via the registration link here; spots are limited.
