Orangetheory Fitness

I have visited dozens of Orangetheory studios and had the chance to visit the Ballard studio on a trip to Seattle several weeks ago. It is one of the best studios in the Orangetheory Nation, on par with our Orangetheory Athens, Georgia studio. What sets this studio apart, (as well as my home studio), is the talent and commitment of the coaches. Coaches, Kristana, Ther and Aaron know what they are doing in form and control the energy level in the room. The Ballard coaches recognize and connect with each and every member in each and every class. They are 100% member focused. It's a tough job to manage a clock, instruct three different groups and at the same time pay attention to subtleties in speed, incline, watts, weight and form for 30 different people. Most coaches only succeed in a few areas. The Ballard coaches master it all. As a result, the OTF Ballard members are reaching impressive goals as several of them shared with me. Great things are happening at this studio and I trust their success will continue. Well done!

I love OTF Ballard! I love both the consistency and the variety of the workouts. Consistent, because you always know you are in for hard work. Variety because, even after attending for more than three years, you’ll never do the same class twice. You are constantly pushed to work up to your fullest potential. The coaches are there to motivate, support, and guide you. There is a camaraderie that develops between you and your fellow fitness family that makes you want to keep returning to push, challenge, and support one another. OTF is a life changing experience.

The workout had a good mix of core, some upper body, full body with rowing and lower body with treadmills. Very good coaching. Well organized heart rate monitoring with good overhead visual display for the people working out. Appropriate stretching at the end.

The Orange Theory Ballard team is attentive, catering to all needs, and best of all FUN. They are always on-the-go to make sure everyone is comfortable and ready to achieve a great workout. Highly recommend the workout and visiting the team in Ballard!

Not only is Orange Theory's concept great for busy working professionals this particular gym has a great vibe of acceptance. 3 months in, I enjoy coming to class. I receive a friendly welcome upon entering the building, happy to see others in my class and also my favorite coaches who always take a minute to check in. I will probably never love working out but this as close as it gets.

Best place if you are looking for overall body fitness

The staff is so nice & helpful!

Enthusiastic and competent instructors, friendly staff, good inspiring music (not too loud), very clean.

Stop withholding pricing information. My first inquiry via email was to find out the price and the person that replied danced around the information until I kept repeating my direct question. She actually stated that they don't reveal pricing until after you've tried a class. Listen. I have a budget and that budget will not change just because a class was fun. I need to know before I walk in the door if this gym will suit my financial lifestyle. I'm a former crossfiter and was considering this as an alternative. That also means I'm also familiar with higher prices. I can look at any crossfit gym in the country and find direct pricing information without ever having to talk to someone. I eventually got a price per class out of the person over email, but it still didn't reveal the monthly price. Instead of wasting more time talking to someone who works here, I Googled it. Turns out it's cheaper than crossfit. However, because of the dishonesty and pushback, I decided to join a cheaper gym.Take notes, Orangetheory. Honesty really is the best policy. Please pass this on to corporate.
