I have been going to Orange Theory Fitness since about a month after they opened. I was impressed with the facility and took my husband as a guest during our first trial. We have different fitness goals, and Orange Theory is the first thing weve found to enjoy together, while still working towards both of our goals. Me: I like variety with my fitness. I work out with a 1-on-1 personal trainer once a week, and then typically do a take-home workout in my condo complexs small facility. During the winter, I need a push to get a more cardio-intense workout that doesnt bore me. Orange Theory was the answer. I get an amazing workout - its like 2 for 1! WIth my existing workout schedule, 1-2 times per week is plenty for me. Husband: He has been a slacker and needed to "get back in shape". He gets a great workout at Orange Theory and likes having someone tell him what to do / push him. He loves the "techie" aspect of monitoring his heart rate. Overall, the classes are a great one-hour workout. You do want to plan to be able to shower at home, as they dont have huge lockeroom facilities. The prices are extremely reasonable for what you get (compared to $60+ per session with a personal trainer). The classes are challenging for those who are in shape and also works for those looking to get back into shape. The only thing Id point out is that the workout is more focused on cardio and burning tons of calorie than strength. You do a few minutes of core and strength exercises, but 75% of the workout is cardio. I believe they design this to maximize calories burned per session. Definitely check it out with the free trial pass! Also - I have been telling all of my friends to go, and everyone who has gone so far has had a great experience (albeit some have been very sore the next day....).

Just joined Orangetheory at the new Uptown location and had two great experiences so far. The facility is brand new, crisp and roomy, with a large entryway for shaking off the snow in winters. Workouts are super organized so that you can focus on staying in the right heartrate zone rather than always trying to figure out what activity to do. Instructors and staff are friendly, really helpful and passionate but not pushy. Everybody is welcoming and everybody, especially staff, are non-judgmental--the atmosphere is so positive, and I feel terrific physical and emotional energy after a workout at OTF Uptown.

Went to one free session. Signed up for a membership package. Was not able to sign up for sessions for 4 days following despite repeat attempts to contact the gym. Asked for a refund of my membership and was denied. Check out YELP reviews as well. I am not the only one to complain of shoddy costumer service and charges. AVOID this location.

Although I very much enjoy the environment, workouts and trainers, I am giving it four out of five because I do often experience some pain and soreness that is repetition induced with so much focus on squats and lunges the knee/hip/low back area can feel overworked. Still recommend tho for an awesome intense workout.

With needing to travel for work, I have worked out at every OTF in MN and WI. The Uptown location is by far the best one! Although I also belong to Lifetime, there is nowhere better for a great cardio / interval workout than OTF. Results and entertaining trainers are a given!

I love this gym! I am always greeted with a smile from all the staff and the other people working out. I think that I am pushed towards realistic goals and I always look forward to going to class! I have definitely seen positive results in all aspects of my fitness and mood.

I definitely miss the old location, but Orange Theory is the only gym Ive ever joined and the only one I plan to! The trainers are amazing at personalizing the workout to your needs with plenty of modifications to make the exercises harder or easier.

Ive been a member for 2 years and love it. The workouts are never the same, so it keeps me stimulated compared to my last gym. Trainers are fun and know what they are talking about.
