Fantastic experience: Dear Gym Owner/Manager, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible experience I had during my recent free trial visit to Orangetheory. I was blown away by the exceptional quality of the facility, the professionalism of your staff, and the welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Allow me to share my positive feedback and highlight the reasons why Orangetheory has left such a lasting impression on me. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by your friendly front desk team. They patiently guided me through the registration process and took the time to answer all my questions, making me feel comfortable and valued as a potential member. Their genuine interest in my fitness goals and willingness to assist me in any way possible was truly remarkable. As I explored the gym, I couldn't help but be impressed by the state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. The gym was immaculately clean and well-organized, creating an environment that is both visually appealing and conducive to a productive workout. The variety and quality of equipment available surpassed my expectations, ensuring that there was always something to suit my fitness needs and preferences. During my free trial, I had the opportunity to participate in one of your group fitness classes, and it was an absolute game-changer. The instructor was not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced but also passionate about helping participants achieve their best. The energy in the class was infectious, and the positive and supportive environment created a sense of camaraderie that motivated me to push myself beyond my limits. I must also commend your team of trainers who were readily available to offer guidance and support. They took the time to understand my fitness level and goals, providing personalized recommendations and demonstrating exercises with utmost patience and expertise. Their dedication to helping me achieve optimal results was evident, and I left the gym feeling empowered and motivated to continue my fitness journey. Another aspect that truly impressed me was the inclusive and welcoming atmosphere at Orangetheory. The diverse community of members made me feel instantly comfortable and inspired. Whether it was a seasoned athlete or someone just starting their fitness journey, everyone was supportive and encouraging, fostering a sense of belonging that is rare to find in many gyms. Finally, I want to express my appreciation for offering a free trial visit. It is a testament to your commitment to providing exceptional service and giving individuals the opportunity to experience firsthand the numerous benefits of being a member at Orangetheory. The free trial not only allowed me to gauge the quality of your facilities and programs but also reinforced my confidence in your gym as a place where I can achieve my fitness goals. In conclusion, I want to thank you and your team at Orangetheory for providing such an extraordinary free trial experience. The top-notch facilities, knowledgeable staff, inclusive atmosphere, and genuine commitment to helping individuals succeed have left an indelible impression on me. I am excited to embark on this fitness journey with Orangetheory and look forward to becoming a proud member of your community. Once again, thank you for the exceptional experience. Warmest regards, Lana

Fantastic experience: So much fun! Our instructor Nicole was amazing! So energetic and motivational. Highly recommend orange theory

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming vibe. Motivational Workouts that keep you coming back.

Fantastic experience: The OTF workout is great -- Fort York is an amazing studio -- but truly, I always look forward to my workouts because of the team that Ian has assembled. The "magic" of the OTF Fort York studio is the result of the hard work that Ian, his coaches and staff have invested into creating a shared culture. Especially through the pandemic, Ian and the Fort York OTF team really kept our mental and physical wellness aloft, and enabled us to remain inspired and positive through difficult times. Thank you, Ian and the entire OTF Fort York team! Keep up the great work!!

Fantastic experience: I have been with Orange Theory for almost 3 years. Everyone here is sooo friendly, energetic and professional. U spend a whole day exhausted at work but can get one hour to refresh here. Just like a reward. Shoutout to Nicole, Ines And Ian. Best coaches ever!!

Fantastic experience: I love their 45 minute 2G workouts - it’s 45 minutes of non stop work, but it goes by so fast and allows me to mix some strength training with cardio.

Fantastic experience: We came to OrangeTheory to lose the pandemic weight but are now loyal members. OT Fort York has an amazing group of professionals that create a family environment for their members.We would highly recommend this studio over any other and I would give them more than a 5 star rating if possible. R & V

Fantastic experience: Great place to start your workout journey! Phenomenal coaches and superb hospitality and service. They also have occasional events for members with great food and drinks, which is a huge bonus for me!

Positive experience: Mixed opinion about OTF. TDLR; I would recommend this if you’re looking to get into fitness/working out regularly, or to do a light-medium workout a few times a week. Would not recommend OTF if you’re looking for something more serious or challenging. On one hand, as others have mentioned, the staff and customer service are exceptional here, and the environment is extremely positive and motivational. Instructor was fantastic. No complaints there. I docked one star because I’m not convinced on the OTF methodology—it seems to punish you for having good cardiovascular fitness. You get points for how long you can keep your heart rate in the 80% exertion zone. I workout pretty frequently and incorporate a ton of cardio regularly…so I was really struggling to get my heart rate that high (~180bpm). The only time I was able to get myself there was when I was literally full-out sprinting on their treadmills (and we only full-out sprint for maybe a few minutes). The other 30% of the class was seated rowing and 30% was floor exercises, so I was really struggling (especially with floor) to get my heart rate up. Actually ended up injuring myself because I was trying to do everything super fast to raise my HR. Available weights were also on the lighter side. I think pushing yourself is great, but past a certain point it’ll lead to injury (especially with weights/floor exercise and heart rate, just doesn’t make sense). Docking another star because you have to buy a $129 heart rate monitor for the class. Feel like they could be more transparent about this upfront/on their website, or offer some sort of integration with Apple Watch/Fitbit etc…or even just a rental option. They also “strongly recommend” a membership-based attendance only (aka paid as a flat fee monthly for set numbers of classes) and it seems really hard to buy classes just on a drop-in basis…so not a fan of the lack of flexibility there.

Fantastic experience: The program, the coaches, the community, the energy! The 3G format allows you to push yourself in multiple ways. The most beneficial part are the stats, which truly make it you vs. you! Being able to see your own progress as fact really holds you accountable to showing up and committing to the work! Grateful beyond words to OT for taking me from no workout routine to making fitness a lifestyle within months! Stop thinking, sign up and see the impact it’ll have on your mind, body and soul! ♥️

Fantastic experience: I love the team, workouts and community! It’s the best part of my day as I feel so supported and motivated from the moment I walk in the door to the moment I leave! Need a workout routine where you just show up? This is the place! Just put on your shoes and workout gear, bring your water and a positive mindset - and the team will do the rest!

Fantastic experience: Love the team! It’s like Cheers - where everybody knows your name!! They also know what your base is and know if you’re slacking off! They are so encouraging! Great personalities + love to joke around! It’s not just a workout but a social outing with friends. Highly recommend OTF Fort York.

Fantastic experience: Love it here. The 45/60 minute classes let you get in, focus on & power through your workout, then get on with your day. The class sizes are just right so you sort of feel like you have a personal coach (while at the same time not feeling like you’re being pressured by a personal coach lol). I feel amazing once class is over plus it gives me energy for days. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff and the workout is fast paced (but still easy to follow for beginners). The hour goes by quickly and you feel energized afterwards.

Fantastic experience: love all three aspects of the workout - the rowing, treadmill and weights ! Most of all the Coaches are amazing.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed going to Orange Fitness! I like the variation of work outs you get to do. The motivation I got from the trainers to push myself more was great!

Fantastic experience: Orange Theory is all about Nicole - Amazing energy and spirit! I'm loyal to this gym because of her.

Fantastic experience: For great results and a fun experience, it’s Orangetheory all the way. They keep you motivated, and you’ll find it easy to assess your own progress on the treadmill and rower as you go. It’s not cheap though.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, amazing energy, best coaches hands down!

Fantastic experience: Most incredible team and workout that I've ever done. I always brushed off the idea of going to an OTF for years, but recently became motivated and have never looked back. The Fort York team make you feel motivated, validated, and loved throughout your health journey!

Fantastic experience: Excellent workout. Best coaches in the city. Great community atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great work out. Short and sweet. Just the way I like it.

Fantastic experience: I love this place, absolutely love going there. I am someone who barely have been to gym in my entire life because everything looked so overwhelming. OTF fleet st, everyone is just awesome, all the way from the trainers to the front desk team, all of them are so inspiring and friendly. I love that they welcome you regardless of your fitness level and they guide you through each step. I think everyone should try at least once.

Fantastic experience: The trainers and staff are so friendly and encouraging! They always keep class interesting and fun. The music is great and atmosphere is electric. I love this place!

Fantastic experience: Love it. I've done F45, Fit Factory and other similar workout classes but they never stuck - everyone is forced to perform at the same level when we are all clearly at very different stages in our fitness journeys. This has always resulted in pain and burnout for me. If my muscles are too sore, I can't come back the next day! OrangeTheory is different - we are all meant to be pushing ourselves (orange and red zones) but the level of activity differs for everyone! Coaches are motivation, not aggressive. 500 calories burned each workout but I am able to come back day after day after day... Now that's sustainable!

Fantastic experience: I only wish I had joined it earlier. Great energy here, coaches are amazing, staff is very polite. It literally is changing my life

Fantastic experience: I like that the trainers know my name and call me out if I slack. They make me work harder than I would on my own. They make me smile and laugh while I workout. I love going there.

Fantastic experience: It's a wonderful dynamic session. I'm busy with work throughout the day and my mind needs a break, and the fact that I'm coached throughout the whole workout session is amazing. The upbeat atmosphere combined with knowledgeable coaches definitely keeps me motivated and I would 100% recommend. Shout out to my fav coaches Ines and Nicole!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly, non competitive and adaptable to any fitness level. Felt really welcome and safe!

Fantastic experience: It took me a while to get into wanting to go to the gym. I have never been to the gym before, I’m in my 40s. I really like this experience and pushing myself and the instructors and staff are friendly and great ! :)

Fantastic experience: best workout in the waterfront area

Fantastic experience: Really great place for those who want to take the guesswork out of their workouts. Super clean facilities with efficient COVID protocols in place. The current 45 min 3G format works so well for beginners - it allows me to show up more frequently and try out a bunch of new things every time. Love the staff’s energy and welcoming vibe too, thank you for being so patient. (A tip for weightlifting beginners who struggle with coordination like me: The unofficial OrangeTheory Reddit community is active and among other useful tips shares early class intel, so you can practice floor moves before classes start! Classes also seem to book quickly, so it helps to schedule them ahead on Friday morning, as that’s when next week’s schedule is released.)

Negative experience: They need to lay off the incessant phone calls

Fantastic experience: It’s a vibrant setting with instructors that actually care about form and your personal fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Love this team! Motivating and inclusive, I never thought Id be up and working out at 6:30am, but I love it!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service, the heart rate monitor along with encouragement from the coaches ensure you're never hitting a plateau. I always feel motivated during classes

Fantastic experience: Team is amazing there!!!

Fantastic experience: Very interesting philosophy, nice clean facility with good trainers if you've got the budget

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best team I could have ever asked for to help me reach goals I never though I could reach! I think anyone wanting to push themselves and crush goals this is your place! Thanks for everything fort York team! You guys are the best!!

Fantastic experience: Always a good experience to work out at an OTF studio.

Fantastic experience: As a fitness professional, I am very picky about where I workout. I always watch out for customer service, friendliness, professionalism and knowledge. At this particular OTF, the owners Ian & Jen, and the staff are great at all the above. I would not hesitate to come here, especially if you are new to fitness!

Fantastic experience: I hated going to gyms for years and had a terrible attitude about workouts. OTF has given me the opportunity to feel a part of a community and to feel accountable for my own success. The coaches are totally supportive and fun with just the right amount of motivating attitude (making you feel like pushing yourself instead of shaming you if you need a breather) and a great environment for learning and growth no matter your level of athleticism. Its all about positivity here and I love attending (to the tune of 12-16 times a month!) - 100% recommended.

Fantastic experience: Very good program, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: When the gym opened up in my building, I had my skepticism, however, it's exceeded my expectations. It's a great workout, it's challenging but more importantly, the staff at this gym have cultivated a positive and inclusive environment. For one, it is impressive they eventually learn and know the names of every member who walks through the door. Secondly, there are two incidents where the staff demonstrated great empathy and care that I'd like to share: - Not everyone has straight-forward, easy-to-pronounce names, but I watched as Amy repeat a name over and over, until she got it right for the member. It's a small gesture that goes a long way to make people feel a sense of belonging, instead of trying to force a nick name on them for ease. - A man experiencing homelessness came in one morning right before class, and Ian provided him the Orange Theory spiel with exact level of professionalism and dignity to him as he would with any other prospective member. Again, it was a small gesture that really stood out to me that this gym was one that intended to be welcoming to all. I'm a fan. Thanks for the all-around great experience!

Fantastic experience: Excellent programs with phenomenal staff! It helps me get back into shape and stay committed to my goals

Fantastic experience: OTF Fort York is so wonderful! The quality of workout in 1 hours is amazing, the studio is beautiful and the staff are awesome! Waking up early in the AM for a workout is usually difficult but when I’m signed up for OTF, I actually look forward to kicking off my day that way and know I’m going to feel 10 times better after. I’m always proud of myself after the workouts because they’re so challenging and the coaches are so encouraging, you don’t want to quit and keep pushing. Prices aren’t that crazy either especially considering the quality of workout you’re getting. And they do fun monthly challenges and really spice things up with different kinds of workouts. OTF Fort York for life!

Fantastic experience: Love OTF Fort York!!! Burn some serious calories while having fun with some top notch instructors, in an inclusive environment:)

Fantastic experience: I like the fact that the workouts change every class and that there are different types of classes. The staff at the Fort York location are awesome. They are always trying to find new ways to motivate members to improve their fitness through personal challenges and words of encouragement. That’s what keeps me going back.

Fantastic experience: OTF Fort York has become a staple in my life. The staff are always super friendly, helpful and engaging. I love the variety of exercises and workouts that they offer. The heart rate monitor system is a great way to keep track of everything as a summary gets emailed and uploaded to the OT Beat app. I highly recommend you checking them out.

Fantastic experience: First time trying Orange Theory. Fast paced individual workout in a group setting. Music was A+. Loved the colour coded intensity feedback.

Fantastic experience: The best OrangeTheory in Toronto. Best Coaches and People running this branch, I can't even think of any better service than OTF Fortyork.

Fantastic experience: Amazing full-body workout. Ian is awesome but Nicole, Matt & Rod the trainers are phenomenal. Lots of energy and motivation. Love this crossfit format because it eliminates the mirror watching, Instagram posting flakes. No time for phone & other garbage, It's 60 minute of "wow, I'm still alive & my heart hasn't exploded" kinda workout. Try it!

Fantastic experience: Best workout around!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great work outs! Very motivating classes and great instructors making sure you do everything correctly which makes me feel more confident in lifting heavier weights or pushing myself to do more intense workouts. No time is wasted during your 1 hour work outs

Fantastic experience: Nicole and Rods classes are the best!

Fantastic experience: Coach Rod was very welcoming, informative and provided a great introduction to OTF. His level of energy was very contagious (especially for 5:30am). Amy behind the desk was awesome. She made signing up a breeze.

Fantastic experience: Seriously one of the best workouts I've done in my many years of working out. I get stronger, but these do not get easier!! The Fort York team is amazing, so happy Ian and Kelsey opened this up!!!

Fantastic experience: Nice facility with modern equipment that is kept clean. The staff are also awesome to interact with as they are friendly and helpful!

Positive experience: The class itself is great. I really love it. However, Orangetheory is like an avocado, you have to know you want it a week in advance. Very hard signing up for a class.

Positive experience: This location was impossible to get to for the 545pm class. It was ridiculous to be put on a waiting list until moments before the time of the class - I now understand it - because it is not my home studio - I realize I have less access on my app. I was disappointed because this location is so close to my work, but, its getting better because they have introduced more classes by the hour in the evenings. The staff is amazing, and I am in contact though email about the waitlist protocol and its working now. I am going less at this point so I won't need to change it to be my home studio. Orange Theory in general is great, especially if you just want to show up and want someone to tell you what to do. I like when instructors correct my form, it is encouraging and correcting to make sure you are getting the most out of your workout.

Fantastic experience: The best 1 hour of the day. Period. The class is so well organized and competitive enough, that you will want to push your self. I have had 2 sessions so far with Rod and he has been amazing in guiding me on the exercises and ensuring I do it to the best of my ability. Always encouraging to push.

Fantastic experience: Have been attending classes at OTF Fort York since this location opened in May and have been really enjoying it. The workout itself is a combination of treadmill, rower and floor exercises all within a 60-minute class. One of my favorite aspects of the workout is the variety on a day to day basis, of the 3 months I've been attending there has never been a duplicate workout. Beyond day to day variety, the Orange Theory Signature workouts provide some unique and more challenging classes (rowing for 23 mins straight, bench mark workouts, etc.). By far the best aspect of this specific location is the staff. The owners Ian & Kelsey have been awesome in launching the location and bringing in wonderful front desk staff and coaches. The environment is very inclusive and somehow all the staff know your name when you walk in! The fitness coaches themselves are all incredible and do a great job of explaining the workout, guiding you through it and motivating. Special thanks to coaches Nicole, Rod, Jenna, Matt & Ian who have really made attending classes at OTF Fort York fun! Would highly recommenced checking out!

Fantastic experience: Fort York team is awesome - a full hour workout with great instructors that have both cardio and strength - this is the solution for anyone who is in a work out rut or does not like going to a large gym...highly recommend. you definitely feel the burn for days.

Fantastic experience: Just finished my third class, and I am obsessed! Orangetheory Fort York is everything I wany in a gym and more! Their staff is very friendly and welcoming from the first minute you step into the facility. I love that you never do the same workout and how it's low key competitive to give you that extra push!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this location for about a month and am obsessed. I always wanted to try Orange Theory but there wasn't one close to me, so when this location opened, I had to try it! First, the staff is super nice and helpful. Ian and Kelsey, the owners, are really friendly and all the coaches get to know you personally and make sure your form is correct. You definitely feel like part of a community here. The workout is great because it changes every time so it's never boring but you still get a full body workout. I also like that there are options you can do depending on your abilities. I get shin splints if I run too much so it's great to have the power walk option as well as bike/elliptical. I actually find myself looking forward to the workouts instead of dreading it like I would be if i was going to the gym alone. Check it out, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’m addicted... this is the most motivating workout I’ve ever experienced. Love the team and the community. So happy to have found OTF Fort York!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending orange theory for a few weeks and love it. Nice clean gym, classes give you a great workout but they aren’t intimidating. Staff at this location are extremely friendly and helpful. They take the time to get to know individuals coming to the gym. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I am beyond thrilled that OrangeTheory has opened up in our area! I have a toddler, and find it difficult to make the class times when it comes to other class-based gyms in the neighbourhood. On weekdays, OrangeTheory Fort York offers classes starting at 5:30AM, which is perfect for when I want to get in a workout before work, and classes starting at 8:15PM, which gives me time to get home, get dinner on the table, get my son to bed, and get back out to the gym. Saturday classes start at 7:00AM, and Sunday classes start at 8:15AM, meaning that I can get to the gym before swimming lessons/soccer/play dates, etc. As for the experience itself, amazing. I spent this past year as a member of a circuit training gym nearby, but found I didn't really enjoy it due to a lack of cardio. The combination treadmill/rower/floor workout at OrangeTheory is more my thing. It's also great that OrangeTheory caters to every fitness level. The staff at OrangeTheory Fort York are very warm and welcoming, and the people who attend the classes seem to be pretty down to earth. (In other words, OrangeTheory Fort York is definitely not a "scene", which I appreciate.) The owners - Ian and Kelsey - are super nice, and have made an effort to get to know the names of their members in a very short period of time. I was admittedly a little nervous about the fact that I had committed myself to an "unlimited" monthly membership, worried that I wouldn't be able to fit OrangeTheory into my schedule or that I wouldn't like it. As is turns out, OrangeTheory Fort York is fitting nicely into my lifestyle, and I am loving the classes. My only complaint . . . I wish the place had opened up sooner. ;)

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and inclusive environment. The facilities are top notch. After going to the gym for years and doing standard workout routines, the Orange Theory model has been an amazing change and I just can't get enough.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere , good for all fitness levels , really friendly staff
