Orangetheory Fitness

I joined in September and have gone 2x/​week for 6 months. Since then I have gotten so much stronger and leaner. This is the best workout and the entire staff is amazing. They get my highest recommendation!

It’s been almost a month since I joined (@ 6x/​wk).
Great workout. Immediate health benefits. Feel great all day after.
Staff and trainers r motivating.
Def worth a try!

I usually go to Downtown Viscayne (Thursday & Friday) and this one in Aventura (Saturday & Sunday)! I love orange theory and the workouts! I do feel you burn the most, because they include rower, treadmill and weighs. My favorite trainer in Aventura has to be Charlie! He pushes you! And he definitely look at form! Gee just joined the team and he really pushes you! Even when you don’t think you can’t anymore, you realize there is a little more in there! Charlie is very good about timing when their are two groups, something not every trainer apparently can manage. When you are working out and you are giving it all you got on a treadmill and they tell you 10 more seconds and they go over those 10 more seconds! Not acceptable!

I have been doing OT for more than a year now and love it, and have never been treated so rudely by an employee. I was 6 minutes late to the class (5 min grace period) and begged to get in bc I drove 30 min to get here. Natasha at the front desk was rude and completely disregarded any attempt to help me. She could see I was desperate to get in but completely tuned me out. One minute passed the grace period. Give me a break. I go to 4 different locations and this certainly did not make me want to return to this one. At least learn how to service people and make them think you care. I work in the fitness industry and our customers are always right and we bend over backward to help them.

Well… I survived my first work out.
I must say is a very friendly environment. The entire staff is welcoming.
I almost felt that I could not finish my work out because I was soooo exhausted but it felt awesome.
The trainer stopped by a couple of times to check in with me.
He also summed up the work out using the tv stats.
I signed up for the 8 classes per month to start.
I will give the 5 stars once I have used this gym for at least 1 month.

I came here for a second time two nights ago and as a novice exerciser, doing these workout routines two nights in a row left me brutally soar two days later. I anticipate this will be less likely once my body gets use to this type of workout… but do take warning all exercise newbies, workouts are a mix of high intensity cardio and weight training none-​stop for a solid hour or so. The hour allows one to really burn calories to the max and although I was exhausted at the end of the hour workouts, I felt good mentally. Those exercise endorphins were definitely triggered and kicked into high gear by the end of my workout, leaving me with a natural feel good high.
Val was my initial point of contact when I first called to find out about trying a free class. She was friendly and professional. In my first class I met the trainer Dawn which was also very kind. It was a packed class so I could not get as much personal attention that I needed being new to this. Dawn was great though and did a wonderful job keeping everyone motivated to push their limits.
On my second visit, I was greeted by Lydia at the reception desk and she was so gracious and sweet. She asked if I had any questions, I flooded her with my questions and she was patient enough to really take the time to walk me through the terminology used in my class that flew over my head in my 1^st class. She even walked me to the treadmill and instructed me how to properly use it. Relief came over me that I think I get it better now. That night my trainer was Jennifer and the class was half full allowing Jennifer to keep an eye on me to make sure if I needed assistance she was available. Another sigh of relief came over me that I was not alone and abandoned to make mistakes without any help.
Overall, it’s a great program for anyone looking for a middle ground between a gym and personal trainer. It’s neither a standard gym or one-​on-​one fitness trainer. It’s got some gym machines and group fitness training. The classes fit about 20something persons max. The current package rates start at $ 59 per month for up to 4 classes a month, $ 99 per month for 8 classes and $ 159 for unlimited classes per month. They also offer other options. I recommend making an appointment to try a free class and find out more details about membership.

Absolutely love OT, especially aventura location. Dawn and Karina are amazing teachers! I was new to OT and those fit ladies made me feel very comfortable and gave me personalized adjustments to help my workout. I travel for work and this is my go to spot in aventura. Thank you for the experience!

The workouts are good, you can push yourself as much or as little as you want. The impact level on your joints can be high so if you have injured knees, shoulders or ankles, take it easy on yourself. I like the rowing and would be happy to row more than run, but the treadmills are ok. You leave feeling like you were pushed to the limit and it was an hour well spent.
The main reasons to mark it down is that it is tough to get in on the weekends for the high demand classes. It would be great to add afternoon classes on the weekends, it seems like there is enough demand.

The idea of the OT franchises are great, I have been to several of their locations in SF and genuinely like their system, trainers and classes. However I have to say that I was a little disappointed with this location. I had the unlimited classes per month package but ended up canceling when I had to switch studios because some of their hard policies didn’t make much sense to me. I started the unlimited package in Coral Gables and paid automatically every month through that specific gym but when I tried to take a class near my home in Aventura I was told that I would have to have a card on file in order to take a class. Why was that necessary if it was already in the other locations system, and I was set up for automatic payments? I was on board with purchasing my own strap when that became mandatory here, in fact I bought two of them to make my laundry situation easier. I even purchased T-​shirts and other items and paid cash or credit or on my account (when in coral gables) so I didn’t see why the card info was necessary. Also, my first class was taken in Aventura and unfortunately for me I did not get any kind of break down or instruction the first or second time. Not until I tried the coral gables location did I receive instruction on proper rowing form and OT lingo ect… All in all I like them but wish this studio tried a little harder in customer service and explaining changes to clients patiently and adequately, thus the three stars :/.

Love this place! Trainers are great, I generally go to Dawn and Eddie. Fast paced and great music. I have a really short attention span and get bored easily. This place keeps me going!

Best workout! Boy you will feel that burn!!! love the team at OT all so friendly, and will work with you to help you achieve your goal!
Love the music while working out!
The encouragement and motivation! Keeps excited for the next workout! Must try!!’

I’ve belonged to several places in this area: Williams Island, LA Fitness, and Olympia (which I still belong to). Orange Theory gives me an intense hour workout. It’s ¹⁄₃ treadmill, ¹⁄₃ rowing, and ¹⁄₃ various floor, weight and strap exercises. The instructors are terrific and somehow manage to keep an eye on everyone and their form, even though there are usually 24 in the class. Every time you go, the workout is totally different and you don’t know what to expect, except that you’ll leave exhausted. The classes are offered at many different times and the staff really gets to know you. YOu wear a special heart monitor so that you can see on a screen exactly how hard you are working so you know when to push yourself. I pay for the unlimited classes since I go at least 4 times a week which makes it worth it. I make sure I get my money’s worth, which is a good incentive.

This ain’t no LA fitness. Top notch trainers do different full body workouts every time with seldom a time a muscle is missed. If you want a serious workout to lose weight and get in shape this is where you need to be.
If you want to be in a place you can cruise in stealth mode just to say to yourself you went to the gym today or you consider walking the Turnbery circle a workout then this is not for you.
Best decision I made was joining, extremely happy and I find the cost extremely cheap for the level of training I’m getting. Sometimes I feel I’m getting personal one on one training. The combo of high skill trainers and reasonable price is a combo I think can’t be beat.

I have been into circuit training for a long time — survived Phil’s
while being in Dubai and have been looking for something similar back home. I joined and I haven’t regretted it. Great trainers, motivating workouts — just my heart rate is in the red zone for quite a bit — maybe it was supposed to be called redtheory fitness. Not sure, cant breathe…

I am a bit of a gym ho. basically, i will give any gym a try. I don’t discriminate. Orange Theory is truly a full body workout. I was in a bit of a rut, and I wanted to try something new. I was turned off by the strip mall Aventura location, as I like to think of myself as more of a Miami Beach person. But the trainers are so amazing, and the energy is great. Everyone is welcome, and everyone will get a great workout. You don’t need to be in great shape, as this workout can be altered to fit ANY fitness level. The great thing about Orange Theory is that every time that I go, I am always amazed as what I accomplish.

The best workout in town!

I’m a pretty normal and average 35 year old female. Over the years I have had issues when it comes to food, self esteem, stress and recently found myself tipping the scale at 200 pounds because of all of these bad habits. I didn’t need to just lose weight with a quick fix diet; I needed to make a complete life altering shift with my relationship with food and exercise. After finally hitting that wall and saying «enough is enough», I started dieting and successfully lost about 20 lbs in 2 months. Of course that resulted in a major boost to my ego and confidence, but I knew my results wouldn’t last long without some hardcore training and support. As if Zeus himself was listening, a friend of mine started posting stuff on Facebook about a new Orange Theory opening in Aventura. I was immediately intrigued. OTF is a program that offers circuit training including 60 minutes of cardio monitored walking/​jogging/​running, rowing, free weights, suspension straps and floor exercises using bosu balls, cow bell weights and Reebok adjustable platforms in a challenging and supportive environment. Sounds intimidating — and it is a little at first — but I promise it never gets boring and the results are extraordinary. After seeing my muscles transform before my eyes and receiving countless compliments, I was immediately hooked. The instructors are absolutely amazing in every way — Kevin, Fausto, Deidra, Chris, Silk, Dawn, Michelle –help you to push your limits and meet your goals without acting like drill sergeants or doing things that will make you hurt yourself. I never thought in a million years that I would love going to a gym. I’ve never sweat so hard or pushed myself so much and it feels really fantastic. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to relieve stress and get healthy. It will change your life!
