Orangetheory Fitness

Great atmosphere, motivating coaches and results you can’t ignore in just a few weeks of hard work!

When I’m in the area for work I purposely stay in Valpo so I can attend this studio. The staff, coaches and members are so energetic. It’s a great experience and workout!

I would give 0 if i could. This place is a scam. They lie to you when you sign up saying you can switch class plans any time effective immediately. That is not true. If you try to cancel, THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR 1-2 MONTHS EXTRA, EVEN IF YOU DON’T USE THE SERVICE. For me is ~$230 stolen. They literally hold your bank account hostage, which is the scummiest thing. Their training method is to bring your heart rate near the maximum they’ve ever recorded it. The algorithm doesn’t take into account any underlying conditions. It’s more vague and pseudoscientific than BMI. The music is awful, loud, profane, and always made me dissociated and anxious. They don’t care if you’re hurting yourself, they just push you to raise your heart rate. I had to recover pulled muscles for a week after most classes. Unless this is your thing, spare yourself the stress and heartache.

OTF is a lifestyle rather than a gym. You are encouraged and push toward your goals with incredible support from the staff.

Signed up after the first class! Everyone there is so positive and friendly! This is exactly what I needed to get back into a workout routine. The workouts are all so different, which is nice because it will never feel monotonous. Can't say enough good things about this place!

This place is amazing. I have been a member since 2019 and switched locations from Chicago in 2021 when we moved to Valparaiso. I can’t say enough good things about it, best workout I’ve ever had and I’ve done CrossFit, personal training and gym membership/classes!

I love that I am guaranteed a fantastic work out every single time. If I was just at a regular gym, going through the motions of running and weight lifting, I definitely wouldn't be burning 500 calories in an hour, at least not every single time. The intervals and changes keep you focused and it deters you from feeling bored or run down from the same thing over and over. The staff is always very friendly and are not pushy/aggressive. Showing up sometimes is a struggle with being tired or anxious, so the last thing you want is a coach making you feel "less than" with certain pressures, however the coaching is always positive and supportive. I know the cost may deter some people, but the quality of your investment is worth every penny. How much is your physical and mental health worth is what I kept asking myself when I was on the fence and now I am so glad I took the step out of my comfort zone. It is definitely a program I don't ever plan to leave.

I enjoyed when I first joined Lafayette it was proactive and motivating. The coaches at the Lafayette location helped me ease in as a new member. When I moved to Valparaiso, I started going to the gym there and immediately felt a change in the coach's motive. The class just completely beat my body up. I had severe neck and back pain after class sometimes where I could not move for days. I told the coaches many times I was struggling with pains, and they did not provide much guidance. When I went to cancel, I got stuck with double payments. It's clearly all about money and now I have ongoing back/neck pain. I have never had issues with working out even with several personal trainers. Proper lifting guidance is needed which is hard to do in a huge class. I am now dealing with an ongoing slipped disc in my neck, and I am in so much pain every day. I cannot stress how important proper lifting techniques are. Like I said I have had several personal trainers in the past and they always stressed this as well. I never had a problem before. I really do not understand the motive of working out to the point of wanting to puke and being in so much pain you cannot function.

I decided a few months ago that I needed to make a change and start working out for my overall health, as I work at a desk every day. Orangetheory is exactly what I needed. It holds me accountable. I would never push myself to do these workouts on my own. It has pushed me to do more than I knew I could do. It’s the first time I have ever actually wanted to go to the gym. The coaches are all great. The entire staff is super friendly and motivating. It is just a great environment overall. It is definitely worth it!

I started at Orange Theory Fitness a little over a year ago and I am still loving it.The coaches and sales associates are just awesome! SA Cristina always has a smile on her face every time I walk in the door!All the coaches will give you the support, push and drive you need to make your workout goal! I needed a structured workout and OTF has just that! And it’s an addiction!Don’t think that this workout is going to be easy! You will leave sweaty and sore and a little cussing but you’re going to be back for more! Orange Theory Fitness is More Life!!
