Love OTF. It can be my own personal church. It’s the one hour a day where I get me time- no calls, no stress, unplugged!I’ve been a member of Orange Theory for several years in different cities. It took me a little while to find one in Pittsburgh that fit, after relocation. However, this one is it! I have favorite coaches (Cindy, Kacy, Kelly, Krista) and I look forward to classes because of them. Now, I know 4 is a lot of favorites- but they motivate me and all push me. I feel accountable to them. I have an injury- and they help give suggestions. I am getting to know the other members and it’s truly a great community. Plus, music makes a difference and they do great!Many people may be concerned about a group class, yet, it’s one thing I love. The members are all ages, all skill levels and nobody pays attention to what you are doing. Yet, those times you may want to give up or slow down may not happen because you see someone else out of the corner of your eye pushing through.“The Covid Times” make some things challenging, however, I feel safe in this gym- and feel they keep things as clean as possible.The front desk staff is friendly. Scheduling can be tight for some of my preferred times, however, I always get into a class even from the wait list.

Im a restaurant owner and have a rigorous and physically demanding schedule. Since joining Orange Theory I injure myself less often at work. I also am running a mile faster than at any point in my life, which is saying something because I am 40 years old and when I was a teenager I could run a mile in a little over six minutes. I also was diagnosed with Crohns disease in 2007 and am pleasantly surprised by the physical condition I find myself in today. Orange Theory is a big part of that!

OTF is great, I’ve only just started, but the staff has already proven to be kind, knowledgeable, and motivating. I’m really excited that I started coming to class, it’s honestly addicting, you don’t want to stop once you start. I can’t wait to see where I am a few months down the line, physically & mentally stronger.

Cant get bored during these workouts! Its not as intimidating as I expected, and the music really gets you going.

It is incredibly motivating and I love that every class is different, yet familiar. After a few weeks, you get to know many of the exercises so that you know how to do them and what weights/pace to do, but the order and reps and how they fit into the workout are always fresh. The other big thing is that you see results and the constantly adjusting heart monitor approach keeps you from plateauing and keeps it challenging. It is great from top to bottom, the equipment, the coaches, the music, and of course the workout.

Great, high energy, full body workout. I love that I can see my summary afterwards.

The workout was challenging, but doable. There was never a point where I felt I could not perform a certain exercise because there was always a modification available if it was too difficult or if my knee injury wouldnt allow me to perform it as is. I felt motivated the entire time by JR and the atmosphere. I definitely got in a solid workout.

The Staff here is great; from the Instructions to the staff, they remember you, your workout goals and who you are as a person to make you feel human. Theres great motivation all around from fellow participants and while a challenge, classes never feel grueling.

East lib Not as nice as south hills village.

Impossible to get a class. You will need to book the class at least 2 weeks in advance as soon as the new classes are posted.Machines stay broken for far too long.Bluetooth connection to track heart rates goes down too often too.Owner and manager are clearly maximizing the amount of subscriptions they have on file and putting the minimum into upkeep.Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Workout is great - super challenging but filled with variety. And Sibe is an awesome instructor! Very attentive and encouraging!

The coaches at East End - Pittsburgh are the best. They make the workout a positive time. At 5 AM, Wes, Holly, Claire, and JR are energetic and enthusiastic. They make me want to do the best I can during the workout. I love the variety of the Orangetheory workout. My favorite class is one with a lot of short blocks. I recommend Orangetheory to everyone I know.

Splendid workout ! Perfect combination of aerobic fitness training and strength training.Unique heart rate monitoring and display system is excellent ! Staff is very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Orange Theory Fitness !

I like the workouts because they are constantly changing and I never get bored. Additionally, they are good for every level and can be modified as needed. The coaches are very motivating and helpful. It is addictive!

Cannot say enough wonderful things about this gym. The people who work and coach here make such a positive impact on my physical and mental health on a daily basis. Literally everyone who works here is so nice, friendly, and helpful. The other members are another highlight of belonging to this gym! And the workout is an incredibly efficient and challenging 60 minutes!

Orange theory is a great place to workout. Every day is a new challenge, and I like not thinking about what I am going to do. I am on the monthly plan of $59/four workouts per month. It is a nice addition to my life knowing that once a week, I will have an intense workout that helps maintain and tone my muscles. I travel often and have enjoyed dropping into other locations!

Decent enough workout, but (as many others have said) scheduling a class is ridiculously hard. If you are trying to work out at peak hours (i.e., before/after a typical 9-5 job)... GOOD LUCK! I would go elsewhere in a heart beat.

The visual feedback is so helpful and motivating for me. Ive always wondered if working out was doing anything besides exhausting me. I love being able to glance at the screen to see my heart rate, calories and what I need to do to reach the goal of 12-20 splat points. Also love that the coaches walk you through everything. I dont want to have to figure out my own workouts at a gym. Love having their expertise to guide and push me!

I love that I come in, do a variety of exercises for the hour and leave knowing that I have put in a good effort for the day. The coaches are so supportive and really motivate me to push myself farther than I thought I could go.

I was visiting for the summer and Lori was the instructor. I appreciate that she took the time to make sure I was doing everything correctly. She goes out of her way. She is funny and makes the class fun! I will never forget, lets bump it up.😄

Great workout place. We were out for the summer and we had Lori as an instructor. She was great! It was obvious of the passion she has for her job and the desire to help others.

Always a great workout!!!

I noticed a lot of negativity about booking classes. While it is true that they fill up fast, the way I have overcome that is when I wake up early in the morning to go to class before work, I book a class for the new day that opened up. But even when I decide Shoot I dont want to wake up early tomorrow, I want to move to the evening class 24/48 hours prior I can almost always get on the waitlist, and quite frankly, every time I get on the waitlist, I am almost always allowed in. Even if you are like 18th on the list, if you show up early, its first come first serve for waitlisted people. You dont have to be accepted in officially. I really enjoy the place, and the people!

Great experience and atmosphere

The front desk staff here does. not. care. The coaches will make sure you get a great workout (especially JR), but don’t count on the front desk to check on you or your HR monitor. You’d think they would care about the key selling point of their franchise, but I think this location is just over-worked and too crowded. Try another location.

Work outs are geared toward all fitness levels. Coaches are very approachable and correct your movements if you arent doing them correctly. Each workout is challenging and different each time I go. I love OTF and would definitely recommend them.

The front desk staff and encouraging coaches combined with ever changing workouts make the Orangetheory experience one of a kind. The workouts are challenging, but completely customized to meet you at your fitness level.

I visited this location while I was in Pgh for the weekend. I had a great experience. The coaches were energetic, the front desk staff were friendly, and the workouts were killer.

I’m visiting from out of town, and I’ve called this location nothing short of twelve times in the last three days trying to get a slot for my five day visit in town. And I have had no luck in getting anyone to answer the phones. Orange theory needs to do something with scheduling classes at other locations. One of their big selling points is that “they’re nationwide” and you can use your unlimited membership anywhere. Well not if they don’t answer the phone since the app wants to charge me for a class. UGH.

It’s fun, efficient, and effective!! I push myself harder thanks to the group atmosphere and the great coaching team! GO ORANGE, or go home!

After hearing really good things about OTF my husband and I decided to try it out for ourselves.You can get one free class and then decide if you want to join or not.The coaches and staff were so friendly and encouraging. It’s not like going to a regular gym and feel intimidated. The atmosphere is refreshing that my insecurities completely went away once I started talking to the staff.If you don’t know how to do something they take the time to explain.If you feel uncomfortable with a part of the workout they give you alternative that still works the same part of the body, but more comfortable for you.You go at your own pace and I never felt pushed to the point of being intimidated.After the workout you chose whether you want to join and I was hooked right after!I haven’t worked out in years and this made me so excited to continue making this a weekly thing I signed up for 8 classes a month.The reviews on here about scheduling are NOT accurate. It seems like people don’t have the motivation to work out and they’re blaming it on orange theory. It’s just like anything you have to WANT to do it, and my experience made me want to continue coming back.. I haven’t had trouble getting into any classes that fit my schedule, and even if I did you can always chose a different location.It’s a genuine place to be and the reason I’ll never step foot in a regular gym in my life.Getting a membership isn’t just a commitment to OTF, it’s a commitment to yourself.If you want a positive atmosphere and results this is the place to be!

I had the best time! The front desk staff (Anna i think) was super helpful and full of good energy. I took a class with Holly (she was AWESOME) but i also loved the atmosphere, music, motivation, ability to move at your own pace but still be included in a group workout! Pushing youself (and with the assistance of the super awesome coach) by being monitored with your heart rate! From warm ups to cool down stretching and with all the sweating inbetween. 10/10 recommend! Best workout class I’ve taken in a long time! I even bought a membership so i could go back for more!

Getting into a class is a nightmare. If you have nothing but time on your hands, it might work out okay for you. The last straw was when a tree had fallen on one of the main roads I take to get there. My 20 min ride turned into 45 and when I arrived at 7:17, they had given my spot away and charged me for the class anyway. So they made extra money that day, charging me and the person who took my spot. I get that this is their policy but I’ll no longer be wasting money ($20 per class when you buy a ten pack) to try and attempt to get into a class and then loose it, in the case of unforeseen circumstances. When people ask me about the workout, I only recommend it if they are able to take class at a different studio. Goodbye and good riddance.

I visited Pittsburgh this weekend and wanted to take a class with my best friend. As a member of OTF Akron, I expected the same great service and experience. However, I tried several times last week to schedule a class, but I couldnt even get anyone to answer the phone, return a phone call or respond to a text or FB message. Glad it wasnt my first experience with OTF.

I love how the workout is different everyday. All the instructors that teach the 5am classes are awesome and really push you through the class

Ive seen Orange Theory around and wanted to give it a try. When I saw I could make it to a class, I dashed over and made it about 5 minutes before the class started. When I approached the person working at the counter, I explained Id never been there before, but I saw they had a class and I wanted to give it a try if they had room. I was met with a VERY confused look and ummmmmm, what?. I re-explained myself and then was asked Who are you?. I explained I had never been there before, told her my name and said I wanted to take a class. As this process continued a few times, I realized it just wasnt going to happen (Maybe there is something I was being confusing about or something I dont understand about Orange Theory, Ill give them the benefit of the doubt). I eventually just said thanks, and headed out. This was a very strange experience, not sure if Ill be heading there again.The place looked nice and was clean, everyone seemed excited about being there. Sad I missed it!

It is a great workout. But the gym is getting busier and its harder to get into classes - and with having to prepay for the month, only be able to quit in 2 months, and losing any unused sessions - its getting to be a worse experience.

Just love it no fuss full on work out...awesome instructions......

Love this gym, its not cheap but I got in the best condtioning of my life and had fun doing it!

I had a great time, the trainer JR was great, the music was good and the workout intense. Though I can barely move right now I would recommend Orange Theory and would consider returning

The instructor! Fabulous energy, good explanations encouraging and most of all fun while you sweat it all out!!! Liked the intervals with the treadmill also to work heart rate! ❤ Barb Kepins

Is an intensive work out studio, 100% guarantee weight loss or just having an athletic body shape. Personally when I joined the studio was almost 180 pound, cloth size 16 or xxl...after 18months, was 138pound, cloth size 8.....just do it...be positive

Ive been to 3 or 4 OTF locations in Denver and Pittsburgh and have never had the same workout twice in over a year of going. Each class works a ton of muscle groups, youre never bored and you get an absolute amazing workout. Usually great music too. The only thing that I would recommend to the Pittsburgh trainers is to make sure youre working with the group to stretch the particular muscle groups you excercised during class. They were diligent about this in Denver and it made the world of difference the next day or two after class. Overall highly recommend!

Awesome class and great group of instructors. Clean facility and scheduling makes you accountable. Highly reccommend!

Great workout!

I love the early morning workouts - the energy and the intensity make my day. The workouts are definitely never boring and push me to focus and work out as hard and as possible, with proper body mechanics and ability to visually check my heart rate throughout.

I was visiting Pittsburgh and took a class at this location. Coaches were full of energy.

Diverse workouts ! Great instructors with good music. Very motivating !

Love the people and the coaches, everyone is always so welcoming

I’d give no stars but that’s not a choice. I signed up for a free class and then I was told I had to give debit card info . Uh no. Once again false advertising!! So annoying!

I love OTF. The workouts are amazing and I feel energized for days after. OTF has enhanced my outdoor running and training more than anything Ive tried before.

OTF is such a great workout. The staff and instructors at the East End keep the energy going and provide the best workout possible!

Youll be exhausted but it is so rewarding and worth it. The trainers and way the class is structured keeps it from getting boring like most exercise routines.

Let me start out by saying that OTF is an amazing workout, and the trainers and staff at the Pittsburgh East End location are awesome! Now the reason for the two star review.. getting into classes is an absolute nightmare. The schedule comes out two weeks in advance, and the classes fill up almost immediately upon release. This means you need to have a fairly constant daily schedule over a two week period. This in itself isnt a huge issue, and my partner and I loved the workout so much that we would wake up at midnight just to sign up. However recently the release of the schedule has been erratic, making it impossible for us to get into the classes we want. Upon asking the staff when the schedule is released so we could plan to sign up, we were told anywhere between 8pm and midnight. Im not sure why they cant prepare the schedule ahead of time and have it release automatically at a consistent time every day, but for $160/mo its ridiculous Im expected to diligently watch my phone for a four hour window every day just to get into classes. Note that I started working out at OTF in Chicago IL before I moved to Pittsburgh, and that studio has none of these issues.

Wonderful staff and a great workout! I would and do highly recommend it for others!

Excellent workout based on scientific principles to promote cardiovascular fitness. Includes time period rotations on 3 separate machines. Staged to warm up and operate in 2 dif cardio zones based on % effort over a 60 min period based on heart rate which is monitored throughout the class. Facilitated by trained coaches in a class structure with individual attention ... all rockin to awesome tunes!

Great instruction, great environment and staff! Highly recommended!

Ned up through email to do my first class. It was free and the person emailing me was helpful and quick to respond to get my boyfriend and I in for our first class. We were able to get into a class the same exact day that we emailed them! We thought this was a good sign after reading comments about this location being overcrowded with no workout slots available.We arrived early for our workout. A girl at the front desk checked us in. he was really kind and easy to talk to. She did almost immediately begin asking us about signing up for memberships. Se had a chart with all the pricing that she showed us. It was weird considering we hadnt even done the workout yet.Workout was great. JR was an awesome instructor! Personable and knowledgeable. The gym area was clean and organized and the music was fun and upbeat.After the workout I told the people upfront that we wanted to think about it before signing up. We ended up signing up the second we got home. The first impression was amazing! We were so excited to get started. I got a full time membership and my boyfriend did the 4 times a month membership. The girl that helped me sign up scheduled me for my first two classes easily and I was excited to start!We were leaving for vacation so I wouldnt be going back for about two weeks meaning even while I was away I was going to be scheduling classes for when I got back.I was on the app exactly when I needed to be to schedule my class. They were full! 1 minute after opening. completely full. So i figured I am full time I can schedule the following day. Same exact thing! 1 minute after the class being opened it was full! So not only couldnt my boyfriend get his 1 in a week. I (for my first 2 weeks there) would only be doing 2 workouts! I paid for full time and in two weeks can only go 2 times???!Which is funny because when we were interested in singing up for the free class they got us in that same day. Probably let us in front of members who should have taken precedence over us.So before even taking a class I decided this was not for me. I couldnt do the signing up online. The high price was worth the workout, but not if I could only go 2 times in two weeks. What was I paying for then?I called to cancel. No answer. Called three times in one day no answer. Sent an email as they ask in their automated answering machine. No answer. Wake up one morning to another charge for 15$.No surprise that I have called several times today and sent emails and have yet to get a response. I am confused as to why they are never able to answer the phone. Why are they saying to email if they do not answer those either? Why are they letting people sign up when they know they wont be able to get you in for a workout at the time that you want.This place was a huge flop for me. I am now at a more traditional gym full time taking classes with a trainer 2 times a week and I am paying 2$ less than what I would have been at orange theory. Not worth it! I feel like this was a good idea but when actually played out it just doesnt work. The signing up for every single class on the app just does not work especially when I couldnt even get into classes.Also, hard to trust them when I keep being charged and havent even been there in over a month and a half.****they swipe your credit card even on your free trial***

Convenient and a GREAT 1 full hour workout!

Truly a wonderful experience from checkin to workout!

Efficient and effective! professional front desk staff!

The variety and coaches - the energy coaches bring to workouts really help.

Effective
