Orangetheory Fitness

I’ve been coming here for five months now, and it’s the most fun I’ve ever had working out. The coaches are super fun, and the workouts are based on heart-rate zones, which I love. I genuinely look forward to coming to class and have been coming 4 days a week. If you’ve never tried Orange Theory, I’d definitely recommend it, and especially this studio if you’re nearby!

Studio was clean & festively decorated for Halloween. The coach Laurie was energetic & attentive without being overly so. I enjoyed a great workout during my vacation Thanks OTF!

Deann, while I understand that franchises are designed to set consumer expectations by providing a consistent experience across location, OTF Clearwater is anything but “cookie cutter.” Your remarkable staff takes those templates/standards and elevates everything to a new level of excellence. I generally attend Coach Laurie and Coach Anthony’s classes and can’t say enough about them. With humor, patience, and expertise, they get every single one of us through those crazy classes. (Even when it means showing geriatrics like me how to do effective burpees off the bench!) I don’t know how they manage to keep everyone in motion while giving us the most out of those 60 minutes, but their passion is irresistible. These coaches REALLY want us to succeed. They are sincerely appreciated. (Since he’s new, I’ve only been to two of Jordan’s classes, but he is great and will be a true asset to the studio.) As for the admin staff, I am SO happy Lana received that well-deserved promotion! She is an exceptional professional -- supporting the coaches, helping the members out, and keeping the operation rolling -- always with a smile and good humor. I think the admin staff are the unsung heroes. They don’t get the high fives and the adulation reserved for the coaches, but nothing would really happen without them. Like some of us, there are days when I really have to drag myself to class. But as soon as I walk in that door you catch the vibe. THEY want to be there, which makes US want to be there. The Clearwater Crew understands we all want to get a little healthier every day, but they also understand that these workouts promote the mind-body connection that’s central to a happy life. When I walk out, I may be leaving 550 calories behind me, but I am also leaving behind the stresses of the day and of life in general. I can then move forward with a positivity I didn’t necessarily walk in with. And I am not the only one who feels this way. Everyone I talk to LOVES the Clearwater staff and their commitment to our goals. That’s why, over the years, I’ve introduced my brother and four of my friends to OTF. They all still attend and love it. My brother won the transformation challenge two years in a row! As far as other OTF locations, when I travel to visit these friends and family in other states and even here in Florida, we generally schedule a class to attend together. I can tell you that the attitude of the Clearwater coaches and staff is entirely unique. My brother still lives in our hometown of NYC. He stayed in Clearwater for a couple months, so took classes here. He was blown away. I think I’ve been to five different locations myself and what we have in Clearwater FAR exceeds what any of those places have going on! At the risk of being disparaging, last week I went to a class in a Florida studio on the East Coast. But I felt like I was working out at a Planet Fitness; no real support, no enthusiasm, no prompting for a big round of applause for our efforts at the end. The coach was robotic and oddly indifferent. It made me appreciate our Clearwater coaches even more, which is what prompted me to finally send you an email to express my gratitude. I couldn’t wait for that class to be over, and I never really feel that way. (Unless it’s a rowing challenge!) I could go on, but the people in your crew mean what they say and really show how much they care...for all of us. Because of Coach Laurie and Coach Anthony, I recently upgraded my membership back to Premier and am hitting three classes a week and plan to get back up to four again. My most sincere thanks (insert orange heart emoji) for everything. Please forward this to the appropriate people in the OTF organization. If anyone wants to know any more specifics or info, just let me know! Thanks…

I recently started back at orange theory working out with my sister (long time member) and my brother (brand new). Coach Antony (aka Coach Peaches) hosts the best classes: clear instructions, very motivating, great music, high energy. Thanks for providing a fun, accessible workout for folks at all different places in their fitness journey!

This is the perfect style work out for me trying to slowly get back into shape and for maintaining my desired level of fitness. The crew at clearwater are so friendly and are very helpful at motivating.
