Orangetheory Fitness

OTF is hands down the best gym around. The workouts change daily and are always challenging the body and mind to step out of the comfort zone!

I have been a part of the Orange theory community for over 3 years. The coaches are great and friendly. They are also motivating.

Love the group atmosphere but also working at my own pace. Strength training and cardio in one workout. Coaches are knowledgeable and motivating

I love how the coaches challenge me and also correct me when I’m doing something wrong. All of the staff are friendly and the gym is kept really clean. I can’t say enough positive things about Orangetheory Royal Oak!

Warning : Hearing Damage RiskOnline comments:I recently used the NIOSH Sound Level Meter app. to see how loud OT classes were. Music was consistently in the 90-95 decibel range, and the coach's microphone was consistently in the 100 - 105 decibel range, sometimes 110. For 105 decibels, OSHA recommends no more than 19 minutes per week exposure to avoid hearing damage. I feel sorry for the coaches, as they are destined to develop hearing damage. It's also sad that almost all participants do not wear any form of hearing protection, and are putting themselves at risk for hearing damage/tinnitus. I wanted to warn you all that you are at risk for hearing damage/tinnitus.My review is being posted after a conversation with someone in my family who is an ENT (Ear Nose and Throat doctor). She went to Orange Theory Royal Oak one time and again to Birmingham location and never went again to either places because of the music volume. I thought she was being overly dramatic until I went to see for myself.The music is dangerously loud. And I like concerts and loud music. I don't feel safe working out In OT royal oak. I don't want to get tinnitus (ear ringing that doesn't go away) or go deaf. Tinnitus is not fun. I knew someone who had it in high school and the constant ringing in the ears has some people wanting to commit suicide. There is a reddit thread on tinnitus if you are interested on the subject. It is enough to drive someone mad. And Orange Theory Royal Oak music volume WILL eventually contribute or cause tinnitus or hearing loss.I don't think I should have to wear ear plugs to get a workout. There is no reason the music needs to be so loud. It's unacceptable. And unless more people complain they won't do anything about it. I like the place and wish I could continue to go there but my hearing is more important. To all the people who don't think the music there is too loud - the truth is you probably already have compromised hearing unfortunately. And that came straight from an ENT.ORANGE THEORY - nobody will stop coming because the music is not loud enough. BUT THEY WILL STOP COMING BECAUSE THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD AND DAMAGING THEIR EARDRUMS.

Absolutely love how much these classes push you! This location is clean, staff is friendly, and follow covid guidelines. Would recommend to anyone starting their fitness journey or looking to progress in their fitness journey.

The coaches are fun and inspirational. The music keeps you going. It's like a small community within the class. The staff are friendly and courteous.

OTF has been a game changer/life changer for me. I have always been in “good” shape, but OTF was taken me to another level. I look better, feel better, and have a hell of a lot of fun during those 60 minutes. The staff is great and the …

They have done an excellent job at safety and cleanliness during the pandemic that makes me feel comfortable working out. They get to know their members, using their names and greeting them when the enter. The coaches generally are enthusiastic and do a great job of motivation throughout the work out, even taking the time to provide individualized pointers on form.

So I've only been 3x now, but I'm hooked. Being a former athlete and naturally competitive, this setting is perfect for me. I can see my stats and push myself because I can visibly see where my heart rate level is at and how many points I need. The trainers are attentive in correcting form and keeping everyone engaged. I've dine 2 classes with Caroline and 1 with Alec so far. Both have been extremely positive and helpful when I've had questions or got lost on activity. I am recovering from an MCL/Meniscus injury, so they both have been supet helpful when I have to modify an activity. Front desk staff are always friendly too. I can't get enough. I'm also impressed that the trainers are invested in my personal weight loss goal too. Thanks OT for a great experience! Looking forward to more workouts.Update: been over a month of 2x/wk and already seeing improvements in my body recomposition, strength, and endurance. Coming back from a knee injury, I was jogging a 16 mile min and now im at 13 minutes. Alec is great at pushing me to use more weights when she notices I am too light. Front desk is friendly and always a joy to see. I appreciate Kelsey and Brittany taking time to help me map out fitness goals and how many times I should be going. Love my OTF fam!
