After neglecting my fitness for years and then going through a major surgery, I found Orangetheory adaptable to my limits while still challenging and helping me to become stronger and healthier. I am gaining balance, strength and endurance that I never thought Id have again. Even my blood pressure has returned to the same healthy numbers I had all my life until the last 5 years! I love the energy from the coaches at this location and look forward to each workout. I love starting my day there!

Love this studio! Everyone is so friendly and lively. I have been getting the best work outs burning 500+ calories. They throw events and specials monthly too for bringing in a friend or Halloween activities.

I have been working out here at the University Location for just over 2 years now, yes two years and still going! When I first started, I couldnt even run. I was recovering from ACL replacement and never even expected to ever run. Well now Im up to 2 miles in less than 30 minutes, and I was never a runner. The encouragement and sense of family here is awesome! I would recommend trying a class. I assure you, youll be back! Life changes in the ORANGE zone.

I am not athletic but I needed to lose weight. I have been going to OT for over a year now. I am at my goal weight and love this program. The Coaches keep an eye on your form so you are doing the exercises safely. I started as a walker on the treadmill and can now jog.

OTF has made me fall back in love with working out! I always dreaded going to the gym as I am an athlete and would prefer to be coached. The amazing coaches here really took that fear away! I can’t get enough.

Gets my fitness ON from the moment I walk into the studio until I stretch. Great pace and I don’t have to think about what’s next! It makes working out an easy process! Coaches are friendly and most of all helpful. Looks intimidating but it’s more intoxicating!

I love OTF so far I have only been going for a few weeks but everything and everyone has been great. The front staff, to the instructors, and the equipment are all great. Highly recommended to everyone.So it’s been a few months now of OTF and my initial review. I love it more and more everyday it has me going to the gym more consistent then I ever have! I recommend it to anyone and everyone give it a try you will love it!!

I have been going to OTF - University Park for over 2 years. The studio is always clean and the staff are always friendly. The coaches are incredibly motivating both in and out of the studio. I love the workouts, especially the challenges and benchmarks to keep me pushing to be better. I highly recommend OTF - UP.

I know Im going to get a great workout every time I come to Orangetheory...from the equipment, monitors/technology, and the highly engaged instructors. OT is helping me to be the healthiest version of myself possible

Review №11

My name is Zoe. It has been hard for to find a place to work out due to anxiety issues and was very nervous. BUT as soon as I entered I was greeted so kindly by the girl at the front desk and she was amazing, so friendly, and just made feel comfortable all around. The instructor was also super nice and awesome and made my first experience really great. Im horrible with names but I was at the University location in Sarasota Florida on 2/17 at the 5:30 class. They were 2 blonde girls and they deserve a raise! Seriously, working out in a group is my worst fear and I made it through the entire hour and felt so comfortable. Because of them, I bought a membership. I hope they get the credit they deserve for being great employees. Thanks!

Review №16

It was my first visit and I felt welcome even talking with Cathy over the phone to set everything up. When I arrived, my name was written on the board and Cathy was so enthusiastic. Kadin was awesome! I’ve never been a fan of trainers because some push you way too hard but he was great. While still motivating, he wasn’t over the top and I didn’t feel like I was dying.

It’s a highly intense workout that you don’t need to think about. You just do it.

Review №18

After being forced to do a friend work out at Orange theory I’ve become a super fan! I absolutely love the technology that’s built-in which creates a competitive environment, but still friendly and fun.Between the coaches and staff everyone is so friendly and inviting super supportive, and this particular location each coach has its specialty which makes it awesome for everyone. For the transformation that I’ve seen in myself it’s worth the money.

I love the feeling that were are one big family. The support of all the staff is terrific.The fact that you get a high intensity full body workout in an hour is incredible. I always walk out feeling better both physically and mentally.I have been doing this for over a year and love it as much today as I did on day one.

Review №22

Alex at the front desk was extremely welcoming and helpful. He talked me through and explained every plan and pricing. He also explained the app for me phone and showed me how easy scheduling a class is. Customer service was definitely an A+. Being that it was my first class, Vicki welcomed me with a big smile and walked me through the training room explaining everything from the equipment to the heart rate screen and what it all meant. She was a fantastic instructor! The class itself was amazing. Intense is a word I continue to use. I felt I got so much out of one workout, more so than ever before. I ended up burning 825 calories in just one hour and feeling great about myself and my accomplishments. As a first timer I WILL be back again and look forward to a bright healthy and fit future with Orangetheory At University Park.

Great workout; Nice people. Unbeatable intro offer of 100% money-back guarantee ($159 membership level) for the first 30-days. So far I have had 3 workouts: 1-hr, varied exercises, good trainers.

Review №27

Only 2 weeks in and the workouts are just what I needed. I didnt think I could do this at 66 years old and I have survived! The interval workouts which include the treadmill, rowing machine, or/or bike along with floor weight exercises have been challenging yet helping my arthritis. The coaches have been amazing and tailor the workouts for myself and my friend based on our limitations (age and back issues!!!). It is like having a personal trainer throughout the workout. So glad I was at a First Friday where the studio had a booth and I signed up for more info!!!

Best results Ive ever gotten out of gym even with my bad knee. Structured, intense and highly motivating. Staff is awesome and very helpful with instruction and proper form. Yes its more expensive but you get a return on your investment...do it for you.

Review №31

A friend of mine goes to the one in Clearwater and loves it, so I tried the one here at University cause it is close to work. Immediately I felt welcomed. They walk you through how to use the machine. The coach shows you how to do the floor work and helps you do it right or modify. They are very encouraging and you dont feel like you are competing with anyone but yourself. Everyone cheers each other on. My first visit I pushed too hard and almost passed out and a couple people came out to check on me. Great family feel and I will definitely go to the next member social event.

Review №32

I love going to class and challenging myself. I enjoy that every class is different and I also leave with a feeling that Ive worked hard and know that I had a great workout! OTF is for beginners too! I started off just walking on the treadmill, and now I can almost run a full mile!

Je
Review №33

I appreciate the science behind the workouts! Being able to track my physical effort throughout the hour of class time, so that I get the most out of my workout, is something I havent experienced at other facilities! Also, I find the coaches and class atmosphere to be a motivating setting that encourages maximum results!

Just tried the workout, they really know how to maximize interval workout. Being the first day going to gym in 6 months I had to sit down for couple of minutes but I still burned 850 calories in one day. I feel great.

Review №36

Exercise wise it deserves a 5!! Best workout Ive ever gotten in my life! You get amazing results in no time and it really does the body good but customer service wise it should be getting a 1! Shelly is horrible at customer service. Im not sure who put her in charge but shes worthless when it comes to helping her customers out. I moved to the other Sarasota location where I get the same amazing workout and dont have to deal with her but with more capable professionals. I bought a series of workouts which I didnt know had an expiration date and was not told so when I was being sold on them. When I called to schedule Shelley told me they expired I hadnt even used one and they had been paid for in full. She didnt even try to help at all.

Review №43

Its a nice workout but not for the price. After paying your $99 a month for your membership, you have to buy a $21 band for their heart rate monitors(which you may only borrow for the duration of your workout there) and there is no discount on drinks (which you would receive from any other gym if you paid that much per month). I cancelled my membership months ago and am still receiving charges to my account which are not being refunded. It is a shady place with no apparent attempt at customer service. My advice is to join the YMCA or LA Fitness for a third of the cost and take aerobics classes there.

Review №46

Orange Theory Fitness is awesome! If you are into serious cardio and intense physical training you need to come here. You start at your own level and they push you as far as you can go at a healthy pace with monitors strapped to you checking your heart rate as you go. You feel the burn and motivation to keep pushing. Membership is a little pricey but definitely worth every penny. Trainers are awesome!

OTF University Park is THE studio to workout at. The members are fantastic, and the staff are even better. It really is like a family. I am physically closer to 2 other Orange Theory studios, and I pass right by them to go to the University Park location. The workouts are always intense, and the atmosphere is just top notch!

Review №68

I wish I could give you 5. While the workout is great the smoke from the cigar bar right next door is overwhelming! I signed up a month ago and mentioned it then and was told it was being taken care of. My last visit the smell of smoke was the worst its ever been; and they claim the system had been worked on the day before. Not sure why a fitness place would choose to locate themselves right next to a cigar bar? If youre thinking about trying it out, just be sure to stop in and check it yourself before you sign a contract.

I was in Lakewood Ranch area and wanted to go to OTF. I love OTF but I think this location is the absolute best.From the moment I walked in I was made to feel very welcome. The two young ladies at the front desk were very warm and friendly.Trisha the coach was fantastic. She was motivating and made sure we were all doing what we needed to do. She was there to offer suggestions as well.I also like the collection of OTF clothing they had.I definitely will consider going back to this location if I am in the area.

Review №88

Its a fun and effective workout that works with my work schedule, because classes are offered just about every hour of the day from early morning until late evening. I enjoy seeing the friendly and motivating personal trainers, OTF staff and members. Everyone is positive because we know we are working toward similar goals. We are addicted to the energy we get from the workout and how it makes us think and feel. I love the high intensity style workouts that are always changing at OTF. Living in FL, I need a workout like this thats indoors. It meets a lot of my fitness and lifestyle needs that I couldnt get at a gym previously. I moved from So Cal 4 years ago, where I often exercised outdoors, and it took me 3 years to find this gem, which allows me to enjoy similar style workouts that I did in CA, but indoors. OTF is exactly what I needed. Do I like it? Yes, I love it.

Review №91

Today I got another solicitation to re-join OTF (after many attempts to get me off their lists). I used to be a big devotee of OTF, and did classes almost daily for several months and felt great. But when the coach challenged me to do burpees as they demonstrate (fall straight forward and down, bounce back up), I blew out my right rotator cuff, resulting in 2 surgeries, a year of painful rehab and $90.000 worth of bills (I have good insurance, but I still got hit). OTF did not take responsibility (read your contracts fine print) but seriously, dont assume that the trainers there are educated enough to know how to give good and safe advice. Fortunately, I am fully recovered but please OTF, educate your clients to know what is a safe exercise and what is not. And PLEASE take me off your mailing lists!
