The workouts at Orange Theory are challenging but doable. There's also room for growth and to continue pushing yourself in these workouts as well. I love the variety of exercises/workouts and I love the simultaneous feeling of competition (within yourself) and team dynamics. Beyond the workouts, the coaches, staff, and fellow teammates are always so supportive/encouraging. Being new to the Syracuse area, this has been a wonderful way to meet my fitness goals while also building a strong sense of community. I'd recommend this gym and Orange Theory in general to anybody.

I love everything about OTF-I like that the workouts are challenging but doable and different every day. I would never work as hard on my own. As a physical therapist with a degree in Exercise Science and a PhD in Kinesiology, I am VERY picky about where I work out. The science behind OTF is sound and current. This is super important for all of us. I love all the coaches. Each one has a unique way of making me want to push myself just a little more without yelling or harassing. Also super important! :). I also appreciate that I can use modifications when I need to (e.g. when my knees are sore) and still get a great workout, hitting all my splat points. It's the best hour of my day! Thank you!!!!!

I have been coming to this gym for 8 months now. The workouts are brief, and intense. A great push to get me on track for the day. The coaches are all excellent and bring their own strengths to the floor. Im so grateful to have found this gym. I see improvements in my body every week.

The front desk lady is very rude and not considerate whatsoever. Ruins the entire experience.

Love the circuit style training. Love the motivation you get from being in a group setting and the encouragement you get from the coach.

Amazing workout! I loved going to the gym, but hated trying to find my own routine. Here at orange theory, they give you constant instructions without you even having to think. It’s only an hour, long enough for a great workout and short enough to not let it eat up your day!
