OT Darien is great! Facility is new, clean and has natural light. So far, the three teachers I've had have all been knowledgeable, run good classes and had great music!
I was an Equinox member for +20yrs. When I discovered Orange Theory, I was over the moon. In 1 hour, you get it all…cardio, weights & strength. The energy is palpable. It is a no judge zone. The coaches are all wonderful & encouraging. Coach T is so knowledgeable & is great about correcting your form & offering alternative moves for the injured. The entire staff is the BEST!
It’s never the same ! Great calorie burn during a variety of different exercises, not too long on the tred and not to long on the floor, just right! I also like that the coaches don’t pressure you depending on how you’re feeling that day- if you want to take it easier one day it’s ok to do so.
In 2 months I’ve been able to bring my resting heart rate down from 85 to 65 plus I lost 4 inches on my waist. The best planned workout ever. Bye the way I’m 81 years old!
Quick in and out. Don’t allowed cell phone at class, so there is no self centric people taking selfies while work out. This is quite annoying at regular gyms. Friendly people … love the instructors that correct/ help you improve posture etc.
I enjoy using treadmill, rowing machine and dumbbells for exercise and I like to read my information at a screen that shows me my heart beat rate and calories burn. It is cool to know about it right now.
I control my own speed on the equipment without being forced by a coach. I am grateful that they have accessibility feature to help me connect the workout because I am deaf. I am comfortable. The coaches are helpful. I am glad I found the right Orangetheory Fitness for me.
