ORANGE THEORY FITNESS TO OPEN IN MOUNT DORA

3/1/2020

0 Comments

The days when one fitness center could serve the entire Golden Triangle area are long gone.  Over the last decade new gyms have popped up all over Mount Dora, Tavares and Eustis.  

The latest to enter the arena is OrangeTheory Fitness.  The South Florida-based chain is building a location on an outparcel at the Loch Leven Landing shopping center on the northeast corner of U.S. 441 and Donnelly Street.   The Mount Dora fitness center is owned by the same franchisees as the Clermont studio and four other locations in Central Florida. The opening is expected sometime in May.   

Founded in 2010, OrangeTheory differentiates itself from other gyms by claiming science-backed training in its 60-minute group workouts.  The gym uses their own coaches and welcomes people of all levels who can do the pre-scheduled workouts at their own pace. OrangeTheory locations often  have events, challenges, and socials for their members.   
​

Before creating the OrangeTheory workout, the founder, Ellen Latham, owned a Pilates studio and noticed clients were still working with personal trainers to burn fat.  OrangeTheory workouts were developed to address that need. By the end of 2019, the fitness chain claimed over 1,200 studios across the U.S. and in over 20 countries.

LAKE COUNTY FARMERS MARKET PROVIDES BIG VENUE FOR FRESH PRODUCE

3/1/2020

Tucked behind a winding path of vendors peddling everything from sunglasses, tools, vintage treasures, T-shirts and housewares stands a large, open-air pavilion.  Inside hides what is arguably the biggest and most impressive weekly cache of fresh produce in Lake County.  

Every Thursday, growers and distributors fill the cavernous metal pavilion at Lake County Fairgrounds as part of the Lake County Farmers' & Flea Market which began serving the community over 40 years ago.

The sprawling produce tables boast bountiful selections of fresh fruits and vegetables that range from the ordinary to the exotic.  Vendors provide tasting samples of many of their offerings, so customers can purchase with confidence. Outside of the produce pavilion, shoppers can find fresh eggs, local raw honey, fresh seafood, plants, handmade soaps, artisan nut butters, chicharrones and other foods sprinkled among an eclectic mix of flea market vendors.  (see video below)

Lake County Farmers’ and Flea Market is located at 2101 CR 452 in Eustis.  October through May the market’s hours are Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.   June through September the market is open from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own bags and arrive early for the best selection.  
TOP MARKET PICKS:
  • Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter ($4)
  • Smoked Fish Dips ($8-$10)  The multiple varieties of fish dips are simply  the best-tasting fish dips we’ve found in any Central Florida farmer’s market.
  • Fresh Chicharrones (pork cracklins).   These savory snacks are made on site in two varieties. 
  • Organic Honey Tangerine ($4) - Incredibly sweet and locally grown. 
  • Organic edible plants - Great variety
  • Local raw honey - Available in different varieties and sizes.
  • Freshly popped kettle corn
