Before Jordan Gray left for the Olympic Trials in late June, her 6:45 p.m. Orangetheory class members wished her luck with a signed card. A fellow coach even brought her cupcakes that were baked from scratch and decorated to look like Olympic rings. It was a sendoff indicative of the tight-knit Orangetheory community.
