It will soon be 5 years since I started going to Orangetheory. One of the many things I like is that you can get a great workout in one hour. Also, although everybody in class does the same workout, you do it at your own pace. The data provided is very helpful. The coaches at the facility I go to are friendly, helpful and fun. Well worth the cost of a membership.

I had been going to the gym for a while but was getting bored and not getting the results I wanted. After taking one Orange Theory class I was hooked and couldn’t wait for the next one! The coaches are supportive and super helpful during the workout. I love the variety and atmosphere of the classes. It’s a very welcoming environment and I’m recommending it to anyone who will listen!

The staff is great, I felt comfortable the entire time. My free class was so amazing that I signed up right afterwards. I have NO regrets on becoming a member!

Im an out of towner who decided to take a class at this OTF. Other than the amateur mistake of taking a 90 minute class while totally unprepared I was very impressed with the team. The coach took an active approach to my workout encouraging me to beat my personal bests and increase my weights when she could see I had more to give. Now 90 minutes later and a 1000 calories burned 🔥. Im super glad I took the class.

Everything was amazing, the staff is awesome, friend and they remember you. You’re not just a number to them. The music is great, cleanliness is on point and just an over all great Encouraging environment !! So much, that within my first guest work out I was already convinced that I was signing up and also have three other people coming with me. I know this is going to be a life changing experience for me and so many others. Thank you Christina and staff for being so wonderful!

My first class was great. The people working front desk were super nice and eased my nerves. I had a class with coach Luke and he was beyond great. However my second class there was hell! I went in and asked for heartbeat monitor because they ran out of them and couldn’t buy one and they told me they will provide me with one on my next class until they get shipment. The lady working the front desk was different and the first thing she said to me was “keys” obviously I was confused and said what keys? And she said “your keys” again I was confused and asked what do you mean by keys and she proceeded to say with the most unprofessional tone ever “how did you get here? Didn’t you drive?” Until this point I was still confused on why she wants my keys and I had to figure it out myself that they required my car keys in exchange of the heart monitor. I went to class with a different coach because sadly coach Luke times weren’t gonna work with my time since I’m a full time student. The coach didn’t pay no attention to me. I was struggling with the heart monitor because the band was small and that was the only one they had. It kept falling, everything I was working on wasn’t being registered. The coach only came and asked about me once. I was confused since it was only my 2nd class and I wasn’t familiar with the system yet. I didn’t know what the heck I was doing. I was doing everything wrong. Coach was nowhere in sight. Halfway through my anxiety got the best of me and I left pretending I was tired. I couldn’t step foot in there again because of how anxious they made me feel. I called to cancel my membership and I was told I will get an email. Two weeks later and there is nothing from them. Also I was told I wasn’t gonna be charged for the heart monitor until I pick it up but guess what they charged it after my first class and I told them I wanted a refund and again nothing from them. This is my experience and I hope to god no one experiences the same thing. I only gave this two stars because of coach Luke and the two nice employees at the front desk on my first day.

This is the best Orange theory studio in the area. I have experience at multiple orange theory studios and multiple other coach led workouts. Jason is the best coach you could ask for. He is extremely motivating and helps personalizes the experience. The workouts are good but Jason makes the workouts fantastic. He pushes people that want to work harder. He is the best coach in the area.

REALLY disappointed that I am being squeezed for membership payouts due to covid-19 periodically. Its offensive and frankly not a good business model.. this has caused myself and 3 others in our home to not return. You guys really need to be more aware.

Im old (41). Ive never really worked out in my life. Working out is the worst. People who say they enjoy it are liars. But I was tired of getting winded from walking up my stairs and this OrangeTheory thing is the only workout Ive ever been able to commit to.The variety of exercises and the short interval training is perfect for the modern Candy Crush and YouTube (ADHD) generation. I cant run for for 60 minutes, but I can jog for 2, sprint for 1, push for 3...then when I think I cant take anymore, its time for a final sprint before moving to the rower.But the real secret that keeps me going is the heart rate training. The classes are designed to reach the aerobic/anaerobic target and keep it there for the hour. Checking my heart rate on the monitor and plotting my progress in the app are powerful motivators. I dont need to run faster or harder than the person next to me, Im focused on beating my own PRs.

Love love love Orangetheory! The staff and coaches are great. Its always a upbeat and positive atmosphere. I have lost weight and inches since working out there. Orangetheory is my Saving Grace I always feel so great when I leave. The workouts are different every day.

All around excellent. The trainers care about seeing you progress, and the workouts help me to become a more well rounded athlete than I would achieve on my own.

I like that I dont have to do any planning before going to the gym. I know that when I show up at Orangetheory I am going to have a very challenging and rewarding full body workout. The variety of the workouts is also a refreshing aspect of going to Orangetheory. I also like that the coaches genuinely take time to get to know you and are constantly pushing you to help you achieve your goals.

I am a 57 year old Male and Orangetheory workouts have been tremendous for me. I have lost weight and have gotten stronger. I have increased my endurance and have gotten my flexibility back. I highly recommend.

All I have to say is WOWZERS!!! I had high expectations and it was exceeded. Love at first site. I love being able to book my class knowing I’ll have a spot and it won’t be cramped. It was so much fun and inspiring to be with everyone. Definitely more FIT looking people then the gyms I’ve gone to which means a lot. It’s a whole body workout.

Loved the classes... but due to other financial priorities I needed to cancel my membership. IT IS absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to cancel my membership. Ive been trying to cancel my membership for about a year now as I moved out of the area. First I was told I had to come in to fill out paperwork... they refused to email me the paperwork and said I had to come into the studio. When I came into the studio 3x (driving an hour plus) a manager was never there so nothing could be done... Only thing the desk attendants could do for me is freeze my account in which I would only be charged 15$ for three months... Did that and was still charged for full membership...I am going to have to tell my bank to stop letting payments through since they cannot follow through with anything they say or even when paperwork is completed. So as much as I loved the workouts and coaches my feelings of being trapped and ripped off totally discourage me and any of my friends to be members.

Coach Travis is very encouraging and always there to answer any questions. The front desk staff is all very helpful and friendly. The workout was well balanced with time on the floor, rower and treads. Was not able to get my heart rate monitor working for this workout and missed out on the stats but its still a good workout no less.

Review №22

Edit: I have been a member for almost four years and I still love Orangetheory as much as day one. If you are on the fence, stop in and give them a try. During COVID, restrictions have changed the way classes are run, but they are just as amazing as before. Cleanliness is a top priority and I feel very safe each time I walk through the door.I love that it is always something different and never gets boring. The coaches and staff are great as well.

Only workout I’ve stuck to in 20 years. Coaches are 100% supportive regardless of your fitness level. First time I’ve felt comfortable in a gym.

Review №24

This is very hyped up and over rated. Yes they give you a good work out but the environment is over stimulating and competitive. I about had a panic attack. The heart monitor is a farce. You cant get an accurate reading of the hearts electrical activity by having ONE tiny monitor on...not even medical grade. The room is bright orange and has blaring rap music with a screeching instructor that I could barely understand. They force everyone to keep up at the same pace, when not everyone has the same athletic abilities. The worst part is they keep calling SIX MONTHS later asking why I havent purchased their over priced membership. I told them no once....they seem to not get the picture. Theyre more about selling memberships than actually caring if you get a healthy workout in. Do not recommend.

Review №35

It’s good, unless you try to cancel your membership.I signed up and enjoyed my classes. The concept is great and the overall fitness attained each class is much better than going it alone at a gym. However, I moved and had to cancel my membership. My month auto-renewed after I moved when I forgot to cancel. I called and mentioned that I had moved and wanted to cancel. The employee I spoke with said it was too late and I was already charged for the month. I said ok, that I would try to go out of my way to utilize it since I paid for it but didn’t want it after then. A month later I called to remind them I wanted to cancel and I was told I’d be charged for ANOTHER month and that I needed to come in person to cancel...after arguing that I wasn’t driving that far out of my way to cancel, I was emailed a form which I promptly filled out and returned. My card was charged again the next day and 2 days later they emailed back and stated I was still being charged for another month...completely shady business practices.While the concept may be good, it’s clear they value money over customer service. I would strongly advise choosing a different company.

I absolutely loved my first class and cant wait to go back. The staff and other Orangetheory members are all so genuinely nice and inviting. It is not as intimidating as I had expected - I was nervous at first - but the nature of the classes and workouts let you work at your own pace, which is the best part of the class.

Good music, good motivation, good instructuon = excellent workout. I will be back for more and spreading the good word.

Horrible experience at Orange Theory Fitness AKRON OHIO. Takes days for management to get back to you. I suffered a back injury from the workout and asked a million times over the phone and in writing to have payments stopped I was told they could be, upon coming opening from COVID my account was deducted again at the worst point in time and I was only refunded 1 of the 2 payments withdrawn and given a bunch of excuses for billing cycles and fees as to why both werent being refunded. HORRIBLE BILLING EXPERIENCE one of those places you never want to deal with again because of how they handled it.

Review №54

I went from despising exercise and dreading going into the gym to actually looking forward to my workouts at OTF! It has become my favorite hour of the day and feel that it goes by way too fast now!! I love the fact that the coach is very motivating throughout the entire workout, comes over to fix my form when Im not doing it properly, and the awesome, loud music! I would prefer more hip hop over the pop music played but its still upbeat nonetheless! The fact that I leave drenched while just following instructions is great too - it takes the guess work out of what Im supposed to do to reach my fitness goals. I also love that I can go with heavier weights and have moved from a power walker to jogger! Cant wait to see the physical results!! Thanks OTF of Akron!

Review №55

I thought the overall effectiveness of the designed workout was great. I really appreciated the variety of movements etc... The staff was very helpful. My HRM wasnt working so Morgan brought me a watch band. It was nice that people were paying attention. Although I probably wont go to OT, because I prefer crossfit- I think it is PERFECT for people looking for a lower impact, but high burn workout. They are definitely very similar. The value of the packages is fair, too and the equipment was seriously SO high quality. I also really like the person who hosted the class (although I cant remember his name right now).

Review №56

Quitting is a riot. I hurt myself at their gym and tried to give it time to heal and come back but I am going to end up needing physical therapy to prevent further injury. they charged me a whole additional billing cycling even though I was not going to use their services again. waste of $150 dollars that could have gone to my medical care instead. so beware especially if you are in the unlimited, canceling isnt as easy as they say. if you cancel in the beginning of your billing cycle you could essentially be out $300. They care more about your money than anything and this makes me sad. Buyer beware!!
