Orangetheory Fitness

I joined in January after not working out for 7 years and I absolutely love it! It's not the cheapest gym, but it is worth the investment in yourself and your health--they make it so easy to keep coming back because I've seen notable improvements in my mood, strength, and overall fitness. The staff/coaches are friendly and approachable. The workouts are geared for anyone. They have specialty workouts/playlists/events every month to keep things fun. When I started, they did a body composition scan that was to be repeated 3 months later. I was initially intimidated by this but it was helpful to see my numbers and satisfying when I improved more than expected. Also, I ran my first 10k in 7 years earlier this month and felt fast and strong :)

All the staff and coaches are very friendly and helpful! I joined on an 8-pass a month membership but quickly enjoyed the classes and attention to detail they provide that I upgraded to the unlimited. Joining Orange theory has boosted my confidence with working out and I’m so grateful to them for helping me with that!

If you’re thinking of trying OTF, just do it! OTF has had such an impact on my life. A bit pricey but if it’s an option for you 10/10 recommend. If you’re going often the price is well worth it.

The first thing I want to say is that I know it can be daunting to walk into OTF for the first workout. When I first started going there, I was pretty overweight and I wanted to lose weight and become strong. I was very anxious because I was afraid that people would notice me and make comments; you know, the fear every fat person has because they’ve experienced cruelty from others. When I walked into the lobby, I immediately noticed that everyone else there were of all sizes. It made me feel confident and secure that I was in the right place, where people were there to become stronger and more fit.The coaches and studio assistants are very friendly and welcoming. It is a hard workout but the coaches modify the workouts to the individuals ability/injuries. It’s been incredibly rewarding as I’ve continued to go because I have become faster on the tread and rower, stronger, and I’ve lost weight too. Every exercise that I’m able to do that I wasn’t able to before, every time I lift a heavier weight than before, is a victory to me. Some of the exercises are ones that I would never do on my own, but because I’m at OTF, I do them. All of their exercises have a purpose too, from strength, agility, to balance, so I am not wasting my time when I am there. Also, I love the lift classes, which have been such a great addition to my workout routine!

The classes are challenging but you can go at your own pace and the heart rate monitors allow you to push yourself in a more controlled way. The coaches are super friendly/motivating and help guide you when needed, especially at the Logan location. Good music too!

I love this studio and the staff! So much that I still go and I live on the Southside now. I joined over 4 years or so ago? I don’t even know how long ago, could be longer but it was pretty life changing for me when I joined. Orange Theory got me in the best shape I’ve ever been in! There is no pressure. They show you the workouts, correct your form so you don’t hurt yourself and actually get a workout. Do it at whatever pace ya want! Its the only group class that ever worked for me tbh because I hate being called out. Just leave me alone and let me do my thing, they do! So its not intimidating/competitive what so ever or cult like. It doesn’t feel like a weird cliquey group you have to earn to be apart of. You are welcomed here. You’ll be motivated by the splat points and results so try it out:) btw I never leave reviews but love this studio and the coaches. A very humbling environment where I feel very comfortable walking into!

I have been going to this studio since it opened and it is my favorite location! The workouts are always are great, with variety and the ability to push yourself. All of the staff at the Logan Square Orangetheory are knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly friendly and kind.

I love that the classes are challenging yet different each time. The coaches are very encouraging. The space feels welcoming to all fitness levels. I also like that I don't have have to buy the equipment and store it at my house!

The best coaches in the business!! Workouts are carefully curated and well thought out. This is the best OT facility I've been in, plenty or space and great people. Highly recommend.

Love OTF coaches are super nice! Staff is also super nice. Place is clean. I love that they have classes as early as 5am! I get my workout over with.
