Orangetheory Fitness

Very difficult to cancel the membership. They wouldn’t let you cancel until you snail mailed a signed form into them, and even then they charged another month. Plus they make you buy your own heart rate monitor. Seems to be more interested in profits than being a gym.

Tried this and I was not very impressed. It’s a lot of money for something you can really do by yourself at the gym. I hate to say it but if you’re going to spend money for an alternative workout, Cross Fit would be a better choice even though it’s just as expensive.

What a great workout! I was skeptical of Orangetheory at first because I thought it might be too much like crossfit and I am not into busy classes. I decided to give it a try after my super zen yoga teacher gave it her endorsement. I am so glad I did! I have been three times now and have left spent and feeling like I got a great workout every time.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept, it’s a roational workout. You go between treadmills, rowers and the weight room. Your instructor gives you very specific things to do at each of the stations to push you in the the «orange zone.» You wear a polar heartrate monitor so you can see where you are as far as your heart rate and what color it corresponds to on their screen.
White = low level of activity, you are standing and drinking water
Blue = moderate, you are just getting started
Green = moderate-​hard-​where you spend a lot of your time
Orange = Hard! Probably short of breath, wondering if you have sports induced asthma
Red = Whoah nelly, back off a bit!
I have only been to the Lowry location and have found everyone to be very friendly. The equipment is clean and the other people there have all been nice. Nobody wears tank tops that say «shut up and lift.» I bought a 10 pack of sessions for $ 180 dollars, which I think is a great deal for the workout I get. Don’t be intimidated, give it a whirl! I recommend getting there early for your first time so you can meet your instructor and have them explain everything to you. You can use one of their heart monitors and chest straps, or do what I did and buy your own strap ($ 20), but clip their monitor onto it.

I hate the gym and everything that it comes with. Dudes carrying around gallons of water, the smell of rubber and old sweat, and machines that are always busy.
What is the solution you ask? Go to a place that is just one giant class, where someone tells you where to go like a drill sargent and you burn 500 to 1000 calories in one hour.
This is my favorite place for a workout, combined with other things. Pricing is not listed on the website, so here’s the secret. $ 59 per month for four classes a month, and you can try it free if you sign up on their website. Perfect for those of us who hate commitment.
I really, REALLY hate the gym, so trust me when I say that this is anything other than a gym. It’s a great, small place where a personal trainer helps you get your ass in gear. Try it now!

Great concept and I prefer this one location over Glendale’s because the receptionist was really nice to me, while the desk at Glendale is very busy and while not unfriendly, not as welcoming as the Lowry desk. There will be one opening on Stapleton as well, even closer to my Parkhill hood.

First and most importantly, I lost most of the weight I gained after my pregnancy without dieting. After 3 months of twice a week I’m back into my old clothes. I’m sure I would be in even better shape if I was on a diet plan but I’m very happy with my results. My endurance and strength have improved and I feel great!
The staff at this location are great. My two favorite trainers are Seth and Scott. I love Seth’s positive and passionate attitude. I love Scott’s music and his «push» attitude. Erin is awesome at the front desk.
A great benefit is being able to use your pass at another OTF location. An affordable alternative to a personal trainer with great results.

I’m a mother of 2 kids less than 5 and I work full-​time nights. To say the least, working out was not my priority. I always did the bare minimum in my workouts: jogging, dvd’s, core power yoga… and I was unhappy about the results. Nobody but myself to blame. After my first OTF class, I felt rejuvenated. It really challenged me to push myself out of my comfort zone and test my body. I just finished my 3^rd class and I can already see a difference in my endurance and strength. I even lost one pound (lol)! You have to start somewhere.
The music is great, the instructors are motivating (not scary), and the people that attend classes are of every shape, size, color, and age. It is very very welcoming. PLUS it is the best bang for your buck. For a 60 minute workout it ends up costing around $ 14. That’s something our household budget can accommodate.
They’re offering 3 free classes in June… give it a try.

This is my new favorite workout. I feel like I have tried so many workout facilities, classes and programs yet had not found one that I really liked. This place has my attention. I love so many things about it:
The Music– It is load and upbeat. Keeps me feeling energized throughout class.
The Staff– From the person at the front desk to the instructors, everyone is so positive, cheerful, and kind. I feel so comfortable and happy just being around them!
The Class– The fact that they break it up into a cardio and weight portion is great. The class allows we to work my entire body– cardio for my heart and weights for my muscles. It is a GREAT total body workout.
The instructors keep the class moving by constantly talking to each group and switching up the speed/​moves so that you don’t get bored and always feel challenged. I also love that every class is different. This also adds to the variety and keeps me from getting bored.

The best workout ever! I love the concept of the gym and was excited to give it a try.
My fiancé and I came here before it opened to tour the facility. The facility is immaculate and brand new. It is fully-​stocked with the newest and latest equipment. They even have individual showers with all the amenities for their members. And their staff is very helpful and friendly. They know how to make everyone feel comfortable and are very encouraging. The staff provides a great and lively atmosphere.
As for the workout, it is amazing. The one hour class is broken into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training, using a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, TRX suspension training and free weights. What makes this different than most gyms and workouts is that they provide heart rate monitors for each member and displays your heart rate on their TVs. The workout is designed to keep heart rates in a target zone that stimulates metabolism and increases energy.
I can’t say enough good things about this place. I highly recommend anyone looking to find a new workout. Believe me when I say you’ll never leave here feeling like you didn’t get a good workout. The trainers do a great job pushing you and the heart rate monitors really motivate you to work harder. Definitely give this a try!
