Orangetheory Fitness

Orange Theory Fitness is amazing. I’ve been attending classes for over a year and I’m still engaged. The coaches are highly motivating — Brendon, Bruce, Delvon, Lal, JZ, Dana. Each coach has a different style yet all are good. I have injuries and sometimes have to modify my workout. The coaches help with that. The front desk staff are friendly, efficient and have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome.
The coaches and staff know everyone by name, it’s like the theme song from «Cheers». Everyone is genuinely nice. It’s an incredibly supportive environment, a great place to get healthy and fit. I highly recommend it.

I’ve been doing OTF Brentwood and West Hollywood for almost two months now and I LOVE IT. I have been working out for almost 8 years consistently but I started to get bored
of the gym and needed change. Now I go on average to OTF 3 times a week and I not only see physical results but my strength and running (which I used to hate and avoid) have improved as well! It’s great that I am able to see my heart rate increase and decrease right on the big screen. Brendan, Lal, Delvon, Nick, And Bruce are the Instructors I’ve had and they are all fantastic and motivating. I like that they watch your form, always give you modified movements, and are super understanding if you have any injuries. Oh and the front desk are super nice and fun to talk to :)
Thanks OTF!

I love OTF! I’ve been to three classes at this location and absolutely love the studio. The energy, the music, and the staff are absolutely amazing. I’ve never felt more accomplished after a workout, and I love that I can track my progress by comparing my reports at the end of my classes. The first class I took I started the cardio portion speed walking, this week I was able to run. It is amazing to see how quickly you’re able to improve. Lal is a great trainer! He does a good job explaining what each workout requires and keeps an eye on each participant to check in and see where they are at. I am motivated and I feel like I finally found a class that can help me achieve my fitness goals.

One of the greatest move that I have made in a long time is joining OTF. Great classes and instructors. I have been looking for a great fitness class that can motivate me and help me reach my personal fitness goals. Finally I can say That I found the one. classes are pretty hardcore, but I see an improvement every time in my performance. Nick, Brandon and Dana are my favorites. They take the time to correct your moves and pay attention to everyone in the class. This gym can be a little pricy, but worths every penny!
P.s the front desk staff are great and helpful always.
Thank you guys.

I love OrangeTheory! I had never been a fan of running until I started coming to OTF. Bruce and Brendan are my favorite trainers, they always switch up the workouts and really know how to push you. Sometimes it can seem daunting upon first reveal of the workout plan but it never gets boring and is always challenging! Also, Bruce plays the BEST music which always helps me to work even harder. #WATTBA

I know a few people who tried OTF, so I signed up for the intro class. Afterwards, I immediately signed up for a membership. I personally do not like working out, but this place is the closest I’ve ever come to loving it. After a few classes, I found myself running faster, rowing harder, and using heavier weights. The instructors are great at giving technique pointers in a way that is constructive, not critical. And they motivate you to keep pushing and dig deep. Having the heart rate monitor makes me more accountable for ensuring a good workout, which I just don’t achieve with other programs. I consistently burn 600+ in the hour class — not bad!
Additional bonus: free valet parking for 90 mins. with validation :)

Orangetheory was not for me. The workout lacked variety, the music was too loud, the instructor was terrible, and most importantly the owner does not respect members’ privacy. If you’re looking for a HIIT circuit class, go to Circuit Works, Burn 60, or Speedplay LA. You’ll get a much better workout with more personalized attention from the instructors.
I went with a friend to try it out since I love HIIT and circuit training type classes and my friend has been a member for a while. However, I did not like the class for many reasons:
1) There wasn’t enough variety. The workout was switching between rowing and squatting, dumbells and lunges, and treadmill and squatting. Classes at Circuit Works, Burn 60, and Speeplay LA are so much better because there are so many more exercises and more personal interaction with the trainer. Even my friend who has a membership there said to me, «I agree, this workout was lame.»
2) The instructor did not explain the class well, especially to new students. Only the front desk girl introduced me to the facility by showing me how to use the rower. Then she just said, the instructor will tell you everything about the class. Well he (Bruce) didn’t. I had no idea what I was doing. Luckily, I was with my friend because he helped me out. Although I had a hard time hearing because the music was too loud. And he played way too much Drake.
3) The studio will spam you and disrepect your privacy. I was sent two separate survey invitations after the class. Why don’t you just ask all of your questions in one survey? No need to just ask me one question in a second email when I already gave you feedback the day before. Also, in one of the surveys, if you leave your contact info then you agree that the studio can contact you. I did NOT enter my name or phone number because I did not want to be contacted anymore. I have no intention of returning to OTF. It wasn’t for me and I don’t want anymore emails, surveys, calls, etc. Well, the owner (Paul), called me on my cell phone asking why I scored OTF the way I did on my survey. I never left my info to be contacted.
4) $ 6 for a towel? There are plenty of other studios with better workouts and free towel service.

Having moved from Chicago and new to LA this location has been very accommodating and helpful! the staff is incredibly nice and the facilities are pristine. The best part is the free valet parking. Definitely recommend!

Orangetheory Brentwood is the best fitness studio in LA. This workout has improved all areas of my fitness and has pushed me to perform better in the studio. Giving a shout-​out to Delvon for being such an amazing instructor, he really does push his clients to become better in the weight room. Also, he has great music! I always look forward to the class and seeing the wonderful staff.

This place has changed my life and my body. The workout is always hard but you are encouraged to go at your level. I always get a better workout than I would at a gym or other fitness class.
Many of my friends have joined and we all quit our gyms because we don’t want or need to do anything else.
The staff is amazing. Friendly. Wonderful. Even the valet guys know my name.

As good as it gets.
Orangetheory Brentwood is a staple in my weekly routine. I love the positive vibes, the high energy, and the challenge.
I knew I found the perfect fit when I walked into Delvon’s class with my U of A water bottle and he was more than happy to reveal that he was an ASU sun devil. He never lets me forget that day and always pushes me to run a little bit faster, lift a little bit heavier, and work outside my comfort zone. And i always accept with a smile.
Special thanks to Mike and Scott for each doing 30 classes on their own for the triple buddy challenge this month.
I can’t say enough about the trainers, the staff, the members, and the workout. It is such a great community to be a part of!

OTF LA is one of the best and most well rounded fitness studios in LA. I’ve been to many other top studios including a famous Bootcamp, spin studio, and multiple crossfit gyms. What this gym does that’s different than those other places is that they design a workout accessible for all levels of fitness and age groups. This fosters an encouraging environment with a diverse community of members.
Whether you’re 20 and a D1 athlete or 80, you will still get a great full body workout in an OTF class. Frankly, in December I could barely run a 10 minute mile, now I can run a mile in less than 5.5 minutes — coming 5 days a week, I still haven’t had a bad workout.
The members, trainers and staff are all friendly. They make OTF LA like «Cheers» — a community and not just a gym or a class to get out of the way before you continue with the rest of your day. Everyone is encouraging and makes you want to come even when there are other things pulling you in different directions.
If you’re having a hard time staying motivated or just looking for a fun workout, I’d suggest that you give OTF LA a try. You won’t regret it.

I cannot say enough about this studio. Orange Theory Fitness is by one of the best workouts facilities I’ve been to in years. What turned me on to this gym is the heart rate training. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming; evetything from the variety of each class-​to the trainers-​to the members-​to the front office staff. Something is to be said when I commute all the way from South Redondo Beach to Brentwood for an hour workout…& when my commute at times can take longer…& I come here about 6 days a week. Thank you OTF for keeping me healthy!

I LOVE this place. I am a huge fan of group fitness, and try just about everything there is to try. I had no idea how great OTF would be though, until I tried it. I was hooked from day one. I go to the 5:30 am class, and don’t live that close, so I get out of bed crazy early on the days I go. But it’s such a great experience, that now even the crazy early part is fun.
What’s special about OTF is how well thought out it is. There is no lag time, no hassling with dragging equipment around. Logistically, it’s a well oiled machine.
The trainer I go to is Lal, and he’s great. I’m sure others are too, but I’m hooked on him now, and don’t really want to try another instructor.
Love the music, love the workout, and love the mental challenge. There are days when I think I’m not going to make it through the full hour, or I’m going to cut myself some slack and just take it easy on the treadmill. But there’s something about the subtle competitive nature of the class that makes me push myself. And then it’s always feeling afterwards to know that I did something that didn’t come easy.

It’s been over a year since I started at Orangetheory, and I’m still loving it!
This is the first workout program that I’ve been able to be so consistent with for this long. Part of it is due to the changing workouts (so I’m never bored), but I believe that this is really because of all the amazing people who work at OTF (both trainers and desk employees). I feel so encouraged every time I go.
Recently, there was a 1 mile challenge. We were given 16 minutes to do our mile. When I started at OTF, I was at 20 minute miles and now I’m closer to 17 minute miles. Instead of telling me that I could only go for those 16 minutes, the trainer allowed me to complete my mile (a new PR at 16:30!). Knowing that I could complete the challenge at a challenging but doable pace for me really allowed me to do much better than I thought. If I knew that I was going to have to give up at the 16 minute mark, I probably wouldn’t have worked as hard as I did.
I’m so happy that I found OTF and that I’ve been able to keep this up for a year! I can’t wait to see what the next year will bring for me in terms of my fitness and weight loss goals!

It’s been exactly 11 months since I joined. OTF is still as awesome and challenging as it was on day 1. I’ve seen a lot of changes in both my appearance and performance. For starters, this is the most muscle I’ve ever had in my life. My arms are toned, my abs are toned, my legs are toned. EVERYTHING IS TONED! My resting heart rate improved by 15 bpm and is now at 60bpm. Last year it took me 10 minutes to run a mile, it now takes me 6 and a half minutes. And lastly, I can lift much heavier weights. I started with 8lbs and can now lift anywhere from 15lbs to 30lbs depending on the exercise. You can take classes with any of the trainers (Lal, Bruce, Brendon, Delvon, JZ) and get results because they’re all amazing and keep you motivated. HOWEVER, Delvon has the best music! :D Maya and David at the front desk are also awesome and always helpful!

In a world where $ 30 single session workout classes are now the norm, I spent all of my money and a lot of time on SoulCycle AND Bar Method classes just to get the balance of cardio and toning. Then, Orangetheory came to save the day (and my bank account).
This full body, well-​rounded workout leaves me feeling incredible and exhausted every time I walk out of the studio. The balance of cardio and weights in each and every class ensures that you won’t ever feel that you «missed a spot.» When I started last summer, I was doing two classes a week and dying of exhaustion and soreness. Now, consistent attendance has made my endurance levels and strength improve so much that I’m able to do five classes a week (and trust me, I NEVER thought that would be the case).
Now, to all of my fellow ladies out there who think the workout looks intimidating, let me assure you that I too rolled my eyes when my now fiancé (an ex-​D1 athlete) came home dead after day one and simultaneously tried to convince weak little me to go. After about two months of begging, he successfully convinced me, and that brings me to another important point — this workout is for everyone who is willing to try it. It’s not some crazy box-​jumping with 1,000 lb dumbbells kinda workout. There are people of all ages and all levels in every class. You eat what you kill in this workout — whatever you decide to put in is what you will get out. And that brings me to my last (but certainly not least) favorite part of this workout… the trainers!!!
The trainers here are unbelievable. They get to know each person and encourage you so much, but not in a psycho bootcamp type way. They don’t yell at you to do a higher weight just because the girl next to you has heavier dumbbells. They just motivate you to try harder than you did the last time you were in, whatever that means to YOU, not anyone else. Every human who works at OTF is incredible, front desk staff included, and it makes walking into the studio that much better.
Thank you OTF fam for bringing this game changing workout to Brentwood! See you all in 40 minutes for a Sunday session with Delvon!

Before I tried Orangetheory Fitness, I was initially skeptical of the addition of the heart monitor to the mix of a workout — I generally don’t like gadgets that purport to tell me more than my injury-​prone body already is. However, after taking a class, I realized that the heart monitor is GENIUS. It allows you to monitor and adjust your effort level with a degree of accuracy I hadn’t been able to attain by «listening to my body.» This effort modulation has made my workouts so much more effective and worth the time– and if you somehow DO manage to feel like you’re being lazy even with your heart rate where it needs to be, the trainers are so excellent that they can tell and help give you extra (friendly!!) motivation.
This is also an INCREDIBLY safe workout, while still being challenging– I have been athletic my entire life, through running, soccer, and capoeira, and have resigned myself to semi-​constant injuries. That being said, after a few months of regular (4xs a week) attendance at OTF, I am so thrilled to say that I have not ONCE injured myself during or because of their workouts. I also consistently see people of all ages, weights, shapes, and injury statuses (that’s right! You can do this workout in a boot!) in the classes I take– pregnant women as well!
Finally, all of the above is impressive, but the aspect of this studio that acutely prompted me to write this review is their genuine investment in their members’ wellness. In the span of a week or so, through vendor tables they’d had set up in the studio lobby, I received a discounted genetics health screening (for dietary sensitives, etc) and received physical therapy treatment (in the lobby! For free!) and started seeing this same physical therapist. Because of OTF, I am now finally hooked up with care and information that I believe may help me address injuries and inflammation that have given me pain for around a decade. I mean… WHAT?!!
I couldn’t be happier to be a part of this community, and I highly recommend you give OTF a try. You’ll find wellness on all levels here!

I found out about Orange Theory Fitness since 4 weeks ago, and I’ve been a member of this gym for almost a month and I got addicted to it. I must say I am very blessed, pleased with everything. I’ve experienced. I’ve noticed a lot of changes on my body. The staff is incredibly friendly.
The trainers are awesome, they motivate and correct and push you to better. The workout is so challenging and amazing. Also, the facilities are very neat and clean.
I have to mention that everyone has a heart rate monitor strapped to their chest. Throughout the class you can monitor your heart rate and see how many calories you’ve burnt, which is awesome!!!
I love this place & has recommended to so many people. The best thing is they have a free session to try and should definitely try it because you will love it. Also, they have 1 hr parking free.

Turn off the TV, get off your couch and head over to OTF for a great work-​out. Started going here about a month ago and have not had an identical work-​out whatsoever. The variety of the floor work, combined with the treadmills and rowers are guaranteed to make you feel like you’ve done some good for yourself afterwards (and less guilty for having another scoop of ice cream or serving of mac n’ cheese).
As much as I love my Soul Cycle, OTF is way more affordable and the instructors are great as well. They’re very friendly and helpful. I’ve seen people of all shapes and sizes here and the nice thing is you can totally go at your own pace and not feel pressured at all. The visibility of your heart rate on the big screen is motivation for yourself to push harder… and you get your results emailed to you after so you can see how you did in your zones.
Thanks, OTF, for making me feel stronger and building up my endurance and running pace!
