Orangetheory Fitness - St. Petersburg (FL)

5 /5 Kristine Sullivan: I am writing this review in response to Fitnessfanatics (of course you dont share your name) review of Steph. I cant let someone who hides their identity attack a rockstars character and say nothing. Steph welcomes EVERYONE who enters the studio with a smile and enthusiasm. She loves her job and ALL the members and it shows. She works her butt off to make sure the downtown studio runs like a well oiled machine where members not only look forward to their workout but to the community experience Steph has worked hard to create. Downtown wouldnt be the fun, inclusive, engaging and encouraging studio it is without Steph!

5 /5 Tara Jordy: Zack is a master at his craft. We have joined classes closer to home, but they didn’t hit the same way that Zack’s instruction does. At the basic level, Zach does a fantastic job juggling two lesson plans at once, and is able to execute timing so well, while remaining calm, but fun. In addition to that, he is attentive to his whole class’s needs, from coaching newer participants and those of us who may need form support throughout lessons, to juggling technical concerns (arm band issues, etc.). When your day is filled with constant planning and performing, it is fantastic to go to a place to meet the body and mind’s needs, without having to think, while having a great time and workout. Thank you, Zack!

5 /5 Aurelie Roux: I have never loved working out very much, but I decided to give OTF downtown St Pete a try last year, starting slow (1/week). Well I love it so much, the team and coaches are really awesome, they helped me ease back into working out and there is always a challenge going on to motivate you. A year later I am now working out 4-5 times a week and I love it. I just regret not signing up earlier!

1 /5 Fitnessfanatic: Ive never felt more unwelcome at a fitness studio than I have with Steph as the manager. Her attitude comes across as judgmental and dismissive, especially toward those who don’t fit a certain appearance or fitness level. It’s incredibly disappointing—this should be a place where everyone feels encouraged, regardless of where they are in their journey. Despite this being the closest studio to me, I actively choose to go elsewhere solely because of the negative atmosphere she creates. A more inclusive and supportive environment starts with leadership, and unfortunately, that’s where this location falls short.

5 /5 Floridafarleyfive: I have been a member of Orange Theory for over five years. It’s difficult to truly explain my love for this gym. I have worked out my whole life and never found anything quite like it. It is truly addictive, I honestly need to force myself to take days off. Over the years, I have become friends with many of the front desk staff and coaches. I love how they get know everyone and know when to push you to be more and they also know when you’re recovering from an injury and offer suggestions for alternative workouts and how to speed your recovery. They are also the best cheerleaders! It’s the best one hour workout, don’t over think it, just do it, and before you know it the work out is done! It takes a handful of classes for the addiction to truly kick in, but once you get it, you’ll be hooked. And I love how the late cancel, keeps you honest. Somedays are harder then others, but when it’s over, it feels SO good! If you want a gym that will help you get fit, then this is the place. Hopefully soon we can also get back to the OTF socials, bike rides, and other fun events!
