Orangetheory Fitness: Opinions

Kiana Mostaghasi 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I love the workouts, but what really stands out is the staff, the members, and the amazing sense of community. It’s so cool to see how they make the effort to learn everyone’s names, celebrate milestones, or birthdays. I also appreciate how clear they are with the rules. They're never pushy with first-timers to join and handle cancellations smoothly without any issues or extra charges.

Howie B_man 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this location. I've gone 7 times in the past 10 days, experienced all the different type of classes they offer. They have something for everyone. The classes have great energy, easy to hear the coaches over the music, and I always left feeling that I had a great workout. What stands out for me is the upbeat and friendly staff and overall vibe of the gym. Staff seem to know all their clients and it's a very comfortable space.

Fantastic experience: Love it here!

Lea 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: As soon as you enter O.T, you immediately feel the warmth of the ladies at the desk, the energetic vibe of the place and the positive energy emitted by the entire staff. From the front desk to owner to coaches, everyone is so kind, non-judgemental, and encouraging as they welcome you into this very cool little community. This is an amazing place to get your sweat on! Kudos to the entire staff at O.T. Love it and totally worth the walk.

Negative experience: 8hr notice to their late cancelation fee needs to be revised, while its a corporate policy this studio just slaps it on regardless of members being sick. I am going to save my $200+ per month and use a gym for better results. You should expect good service with empathy especially for an aging business model... sadly its not here. Thank you and good luck.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had a frustrating experience. We understand how important it is to be treated with empathy, especially when unforeseen circumstances like illness arise. While our late cancelation policy is indeed a corporate guideline, we do strive to offer flexibility and understanding whenever possible, particularly in cases like yours. Your home studio may have shown leniency in the past for late cancels, however that does not translate to all studios. Thank you for visiting our studio, wishing you all the best on your fitness journey.

Negative experience: Tried to cancel class due to an emergency, the woman on the phone was so rude...

Hi Michael, sorry to hear that that was your experience. Unfortunately, we don't have a record of this, or any late cancels processed to a Michael. Perhaps, you have the wrong studio.

Fantastic experience: An invigorating full-body workout that leaves no muscle untouched! Each movement is perfectly curated to challenge and strengthen, building power and balance from head to toe. A true symphony of endurance and grace—highly recommend.

Christina Garcia 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I already gave this Orange Theory a perfect score, but today reminded me why they deserve a story to go with it. I had a rough day at work and was looking forward to my class. But as I was changing, the zipper on my sports bra broke. I tried fixing it, got nowhere, and was this close to skipping the workout. But here’s the thing: this isn’t just any gym. I felt comfortable enough to walk up to the front desk, explain the problem, and ask for help. What happened next? It turned into this team effort—staff and even other members all stepped in. It was funny, lighthearted, and in the end, they actually fixed it. The workouts here are great, but it’s the people that make this place something special. You won’t get that everywhere, and it’s why I keep coming back.

Fantastic experience: Has amazing trainers who continuously keep pushing you hard to go past your limits, be it on the treads, rowing or on the floor. They keep up with everyone to adjust their posture during certain exercises. Special shoutout to Coach Eddie and Coach Carol!

Nita 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Did a tryout class with Alex and signed up right away:) The staff and the trainers are all very kind and encouraging! They explained everything I asked patiently. Everyone has different goals and we can target our own goals individually. The members for two sessions I met there were friendly and had positive experiences to share with me. Few came 5-6 times per week! I had wonderful time and stayed even more active throughout the day! Thank you so much for offering such amazing program. I look forward to my next class❤️

Anushka Ahuja 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: You’re told exactly what to do. I love this. I go and I don’t have to think about what I’m going to do while I’m working out. If you’re someone who loves the autonomy of going to a gym and doing whatever you want, then you may not love Orange Theory. But I love being told what to do, especially on the treadmill, where I know I would never get the level of cardio if I were on it myself without a coach telling me what to do to get the most out of those 20-30 minutes.

Andy t 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I went to a class taught my Dave and it was a great experience. The studio is in a good location that is close to a lot of public transportation, it’s clean, and the staff are very kind and approachable. Dave gave me helpful advice and improved my form while doing crunches and gave me tips to make them more effective. The playlist was iconic and the workouts were doable but challenging! I will definitely be back!

Kaushik Prakash 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I never thought I would like to go to a gym and workout everyday, but OTF University Avenue changed that thought process of mine completely. Cannot say enough good things about the coach and everyone who works there. They’re just so encouraging and warm that motivates me to go and workout with them everyday.

Nader 1 year ago

Negative experience: I was visiting Toronto, I got stuck in traffic and arrived 10 minute late. The front desk did not let me in. their location is horrible, an small sign for OT outside , and gym hidden inside. front desk manner was not what I was expecting. I visited Bloor Yonge and yonge eglinton studios and very positive experience over those two studios.

Thanks Nader for your feedback. We can understand how Toronto traffic can be unpredictable and frustrating. Recognizing that you made an effort to attend we didn't charge the late fee. As a member you are aware that the class cut off time is there for the safety our members and coaches.

Alana 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I never thought I would love the gym but OrangeTheory has proven me dead wrong and this location in particular has played a massive role in my new found love. Cannot say enough great things about the coaches, members culture and owner, it's so welcoming and encouraging, and they're the reason I've made this program a staple in my weekly routine. My cardio, endurance and strength have never been better, and I'm having so much fun. If you're even remotely thinking about trying it, honestly just DO IT, seriously you are going to thank yourself later. Big time. Keep up the amazing work, OTF University!!

Anastasia Shymanovich 1 year ago

Positive experience: Pros: nice/motivating instructors, descent workout; interesting “sweeteners” like weightloss challenges or classes with a DJ; good treadmills Cons: front desk stuff is not always pleasant to interact with (depends who of course); big drive to upsell you or sign you up (make it very uncomfortable with non stop calling/emails etc.); uncomfortable layout of the studio (not enough space to move especially if you are on weights stations in double digits - 10 onwards)

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend this location more! The trainers are really helpful and motivating during classes. It's been a game changer considering I am a beginner. The staff, especially, have accommodated a myriad of requests I've made for flexible membership, billing, you name it. They're always responsive and try their level best to answer my questions and concerns. Always smiles and happy faces when I go in, it's amazing. Highly highly recommend this location :)

Fantastic experience: Coaches are super helpful and supportive. It’s not intimidating at all and you are given easier options for each workout which is super helpful for newbies! These full body workouts leave me sore but they’re so fun I always look forward to go again the next day and power through.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the OT family! Trainers & staff are top notch and really motivate you to crush your goals! Super delighted with my experience so far!

Ana Arciniega 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The studio staff were very helpful and polite. They made me feel welcomed and got me set up for my class. Coach Kayte was amazing. It was a challenging workout but she had an amazing playlist and kept us motivated. Also, she was constantly checking on people and correcting the form to make sure we didn't get hurt. Overall, I had a great experience, and I will definitely stop by another time.

Samantha Cheng 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to OTF university pretty consistently since December 2022. I absolutely love it! The coaches, staff, and members are extremely friendly. It really doesn't take long for them to remember your name and you get to know the staff and regulars very quickly as well. I really appreciate the friendships I've developed in the orange room. The workout is a mix of weights, row, and running. I've seen vast improvements in my endurance and strength since my first class. The signature workouts and benchmarks make some of the classes really interesting. First class is free!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic workout in Downtown Toronto. Cazz was an excellent coach; very smooth and welcoming at front desk. Great experience. Loved being there.

J D 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been to a lot of gyms in Toronto and honestly I can say this location is one of the best. The staff is so kind and friendly. They care about your health and well-being. It's not cliquey or fake like other gyms. The trainers want to see you succeed, and overall it's a great little community in the heart of downtown.

Romy Bravo-Lopez 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best workout around. Great coaches, different workout every day targeting your full body with strength and conditioning, and fun cardio. You exercise and have fun without it feeling gruesome or chore-like.

Peter Brochu 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ok I’m impressed. The variety of disciplines is the selling point: treadmill+floor+TRX+rowing+bikes. Also, the prices are the cheapest downtown. I know, I’ve tried them all. Recommended!

Fantastic experience: Amazing high intensity workout that also allows you to work at your own pace. Every class is different so it's always challenging. Amazing people work there, and great people also workout there!! A+

Arushi Katyal 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for 6 weeks now and it's absolutely changed my life! I never thought I could enjoy working out let alone be looking forward to my next class. I haven't had all the coaches yet but I really like Alicia, Kens, Carol and Cayte. Everyone is so friendly and makes an effort to get to know you and your name. The studio and bathrooms are extremely clean which is really important to me. Everyone is very professional and encouraging.

Lynette Thomas 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Coach Kens and her team whipped me back into shape, just in time for my upcoming wedding! I loved the energy, music and overall welcoming community at OTF University. Sonia and the rest of the admin team were also very accommodating and lovely. Definitely recommend, you won't regret joining!

Rosie 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Signing up and working out here is the best thing I’ve done for myself. Their policies help me stay accountable and consistent with my workout routine. Everyone that works at this location is phenomenal (SAs, coaches, and owner). I appreciate the coaches knowing my goals and potential, and pushing me to get those PRs. It feels like a community, which makes coming here so much more fun. Thanks for giving me more life!

Sydney Stype 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best decision I made during 2021 was joining this studio. I've done OrangeTheory classes in the past, but I quickly went form an Elite member to a Premier member. This studio has the best coaches who know their clients well and are the most encouraging and kind. I've done over 100 classes and can't wait for the next 100 and beyond!

Erin Woodward 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a place! I love this gym and especially the coaches they are all top notch. I've reached all my fitness goals in a matter of months because of their attentiveness.

Lainey M 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The workout I am enjoying the workouts, they make it fun and have great equipment and they gamify exercise. If you are looking for a step up above GoodLife, enjoy group classes, and want to enjoy your workouts, yup! If you want to maximize intensity with highly efficient workouts, there are other better boutique gyms in Toronto. But price wise, for a boutique gym Orange Theory is priced the lowest. You are still going to get an effective workout at orange theory, try it out! The staff The front desk staff are great and friendly. They aren't too pushy, and are very helpful, and welcoming. Honestly the friendliest and competent front desk at a gym I have ever encountered. Favourite instructors so far are Cazz (very high energy!) and Alex (provides very good instructions). Avoid Alicia’s classes if you don’t want to experience unclear instructions. I did give feedback to the front desk and they were very professional and gave the feedback to Alicia who was not receptive to feedback. I updated my star rating to higher because they are really professional and the manager really cares about her gym.

Paige Lougheed 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Orange Theory University is my favourite OT studio. I have been to many across Canada and I have to say that their team and studio is top notch. Within a couple of weeks the whole team welcomes me by name, greets and say goodbye with smiles and always have great energy for the workouts. Happy it's my new home studio.

Fantastic experience: I love OTF at the University location. I have tried a few other locations but the staff at this location are super nice and helpful! :) The workouts are great as well, you don’t feel like you are just a number here the trainers pay attention to every single person in the class. Thank you guys! Amazing service :)

Lauren Christerra 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was recommended this place by so many people the past couple weeks. They have classes/sessions as early as 5am to as late as 10pm so it’s really convenient. I also like the fact that they monitor your heart rate and so you work out within your limit/pace. Last but not least, you can try it out for free.
