Orangetheory Fitness

Awesome class. Visiting from VA. Jazon lead a great class with amazing energy. Pumped up the class - encouraging with out being annoying.

Disappointing experience with management.If you sign a 6 month contract, it will automatically roll over into a month to month at the end of the 6 months - even though you signed a 6 month contract. You will receive no info explaining this or the fact that you need to cancel your contract before 30 days of the 6 months completion(even though you signed a 6 month contract).

Excellent combination of workouts! It can be challenging but it is worth it. The staff and coaches are very friendly. Highly recommended.

OTF - Berkeley is a great community! Every coach and front desk staff member has made my experience even more enjoyable.

Finally! Great coach who can explain the goals and numbers in class clearly. Highly recommend coach Jazon's class for super clear instruction, precision coaching style, and high energy encouragement!Also, amazing and friendly staff!

If you're thinking about checking out Orangetheory and especially the Berkeley studio, don't hesitate. It's awesome and it's worth it. I've been going for almost a year with an unlimited membership because of the warm management and staff, supportive friendly coaches, and high-quality, varied classes on equipment where you get your own station as you rotate through the room on treadmills, WaterRowers, TRX and weights.Orangetheory is an effective, heart-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) group workout led by well-trained coaches with high-energy music. I particularly like the community vibe of the brand and feeling like I am a part of something where I can join challenges and measure my progress with all the data that's recorded and stored in my app,Shout out to studio manager Lee and all the amazing coaches (can't go wrong with Malcom, Jazon, Beth and Peter) for being so helpful and encouraging. I've never had a regular fitness routine and started from an almost sedentary point in my life, and now I am comfortable running full treadmill blocks, challenging myself with my rowing distances and times, and realized I love lifting heavy weights. My mental health has drastically improved, as well as my resting heart rate, cardio fitness, muscle strength and overall health. The habit has changed my life and class is usually the best part of my day.If you're thinking to yourself it's expensive and wondering if it's worth it, think of it this way: you could pay super cheap for a box gym and get no attention, or an exorbitant amount of money for a personal trainer and individualized attention. Orangetheory is the perfect midpoint for me: the per-class cost is very reasonable when I come 3x a week or more and I get the group energy, a coach, the workout is planned and designed for us, and dedicated equipment. I wouldn't get this kind of workout or progress on my own.If you're wondering if you're too-whatever (out of shape, old, weak, slow) -- it's still for you. The workouts are for all levels, and you take it at your pace -- the coaches will even offer modifications.And if you're wondering if you'll lose weight -- that comes primarily from nutrition. But, there's a great domino effect from wanting to eat right to fuel those faster runs and heavier weights that results in overall health improvements from better habits and decisions, and all those things combined have helped me bring my weight down and get stronger.Just go -- and stick with it! From a genuinely grateful member.

Joined almost a year ago to try to get myself back together after lockdown and years of bad habits. Can’t thank the coaching and workouts at OTF enough for taking me to new places and continually reaching new fitness goals. A great, warm and welcoming environment. Highly recommend coach Malcolm if you’re looking for a high energy experience!

I love Orangetheory Fitness so much that I was beyond sad I couldn't go especially after moving up from SoCal to NoCal during the pandemic. Imagine my thrill to find out that my new house was just a few blocks away from the Shattuck Orangetheory Fitness. The staff are awesome. I love the coaches as well as the front desk crew. Everyone takes time to learn our names and say hello and goodbye as we come and go. The location is great and the workouts are always amazing in true OTF fashion. So glad to be a regular here and thankful I found my OTF family.

Orangetheory has been life changing! During/after their transformation challenge I lost so much weight, and they have helped me become a stronger, healthier version of myself. Their workouts push me out of my comfort zone and help me build endurance and muscle. This studio provides a safe, comfortable environment. 11/10 would recommend to anyone!

Small but mighty gym!I never thought I would be that person who would haul myself out of bed at 5 AM to make it to a 6:15 AM workout and run as fast as I can on a treadmill, but now I can't start my day without it!The studio assistants at the front desk are always SO friendly and nice, and if you're lucky, the studio manager will bring his friendly dog to greet you. I think all the coaches here are fantastic, but I usually go to Peter and Jazon's classes and always have a great time. Peter always does a great job at motivating me to push myself harder (safely) and if you're lucky, you might catch Jazon's occasional dance move or impromptu karaoke.I really think that the Orangetheory workout itself is for people of all fitness levels. Even though it's a structured class, there's plenty of room for athletes and couch potatoes (not unlike your dear reviewer) to get a challenging workout that's also doable.I think that just looking at the membership at Orangetheory Berkeley reflects that. You'll work out along side marathon runners, people who haven't run a mile since middle school, college students, working professionals and parents and grandparents. There's no judgment or an elite click of mean girls, we're all there to get a good workout and have fun because we all have the same bizarre idea of fun.So show up, give it a chance, and maybe you'll find out that you can sing "Sweet Caroline" while running 7 MPH!
