Kelsey Donahue

Director of Operations and Marketing

Kelsey is a Colorado native, fitness industry leader, and passionate advocate for helping people build healthier, happier lives. With more than 15 years of experience in the fitness industry—including the last 10 years with Orangetheory Fitness—she has dedicated her career to creating exceptional member experiences, developing high-performing teams, and building strong fitness communities.

Throughout her time with Orangetheory Fitness, Kelsey has supported every role within the organization from Coach to Corporate Fitness Educator to Regional Director of Operations and Fitness supporting the growth and development of 40 Colorado studios. She believes that great leadership starts with genuine connection, leading by doing, and a goal to empower both employees and members to reach their full potential. 

Outside of work, fitness continues to play a major role in Kelsey’s life. As a two-time HYROX World Championship competitor, she enjoys challenging herself through training and competition while inspiring others to pursue goals they once thought were out of reach.

When she’s not in the studio, you can find Kelsey exploring Colorado’s trails, spending time outdoors, and enjoying life with her partner and their two dogs, Esko and Cipher.  Her love for fitness, community, and the Colorado lifestyle continues to fuel her commitment to helping others become the best version of themselves.
