Orange Theory workouts are organized and managed, unlike workout facilities that essentially leave participants to make up and manage their own workouts. The Orange Theory coaches lead class participants through each exercise, demonstrating proper form and then working with participants to ensure proper execution. As importantly, they offer alternatives to accommodate individual limitations due to injuries or other factors. These aren't people brought in from the street and made coaches by management fiat. They have specific certifications as workout coaches and are carefully vetted by the hiring team before being entrusted to lead classes. On top of that, a quiet camaraderie develops among participants due to the shared intensity of experience. The atmosphere is mutually supportive, and although it is "class work," the workout itself is highly personal to the individual participants.
As is true of any business, a certain amount of administration is necessary to organize and coordinate all of the details that make the overall process run smoothly. The Orange Theory admin team is efficient and, evidently, selected both for their skills and for their service orientation, which brings an agreeable personability to what would otherwise be dull routine.
Bottom line? It's a package that works extremely well, delivering real benefits in ways that motivate and engage participants. Want an "After" picture that doesn't look just like, or possibly even worse, than your "Before" picture? It takes time, but jump into Orange Theory and you'll make it happen.
I love to work out at the studio, Jeff is the best coach he explains everything and makes sure that everyone does the exercises in the right way to prevent any injuries.
I love the music and the friendly crew!
I love the variety of workouts for each class and as someone who learned about weight lifting by watching videos at home, I feel like I've learned so much through the classes. It's also great to have coaches who can help correct your form so you're doing everything safely and getting the most out of each workout, and I love that they show you alternatives. And overall, it's just really fun! It's always a really good atmosphere.
Structured instructor lead workout makes me work harder than I would on my own. I love how great I feel after every workout and it helps me with my mental health! I have seen an enormous positive change in my body over the last year since I have joined orange theory. I am addicted to OTF!!
Intensive, but according to individual ability that doesn't leave anyone out. Coach guidance throughout well-planned routine for overall workout. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great follow through.
It’s challenging but easy to follow. Everyone is focused. I have the space to do what works best for me. The staff is supportive but not overbearing. 🤘🏼
The variety of workouts and inclusion of weight/strength training in each one, being able to monitor your heart rate and goals, and having accountability when making reservations.
