This facility has a wall of huge windows with a beautiful view of the mountains. It's kept up & clean. There's always plenty of parking...there are even charging stations for electric vehicles. Note, membership is free for Denver residents that are 60+ & those ages 5-18. With membership you have access to all 30 Denver rec centers & pools. I regularly go to two classes - one is a Cardio & Strength class & the other is Tai Chi, both are drop-in. The instructors are fun & very knowledgeable. Christine teaches the cardio class & always demonstrates modifications, so it's perfect for all levels of fitness. Maureen is very well versed in Tai Chi as well. This is a fantastic center with fabulous instructors.

This review is specifically for the layout of the weights on the second floor. More specifically,…read morethe location of the bench press (2) and incline bench (1). The position of the two bench presses and incline bench are pushed up against the wall on the East side of the building. Right where the steel reinforcement beams are located which leaves NO space to safely spot your partner without hitting your head or back on one of those beams. You cannot even get behind them without crawling around the weights or beams themselves. This is incredibly dangerous and a major safety issue. Whomever designed the layout of the weight room does not appear to have experience with weight training. The nautilus machines and free weight areas should probably be switched. There is nowhere to safely stretch (people do it under the stairs) or do ab exercises, box jumps, etc. Someone, with knowledge of weight training, should redesign the space for efficiency and safety.

I've done Lagree for a few years so not new to this. The machines were a bit odd, I know everyone likes to modify these for their special brand of Lagree but I didn't like the way these were modified. I took 3 classes, two were just bad, a random set of exercises that didn't seem to cohesively go together, and one was just OK. I didn't feel the instructors were that experienced or paid attention to the people, everyone was doing something slightly different. It feels like some movements were just there for the coolness factor but they didn't really create a workout or make sense. There is a right way to do a move and there are adjustments that can be made but I just didn't get a good workout here.

I HATE WORKING OUT. Wait, let me correct that. I used to hate working out. I have to get myself out…read moreof bed early, get on workout clothes (and mine aren't the cute Lululemon type I'm excited to put on), walk or drive myself to god knows where, and then try not to let the boredom or pain or lack of oxygen make me go home (or kill me). But ever since I joined Orange Theory (and switched to Uptown)... I find working out... tolerable ;) I'm not going to lie and say I love it. But I will say that I enjoy the formats of the workouts and I don't get bored. It's different every day and a good mix of treadmill (or strider/bike for my low-impact crew like me), rowing, and weight lifting -- and I know I'm improving both my strength and endurance and have noticed a difference over time. I've discovered that rowing is actually also tolerable (and it's the best workout that hits so many parts of your body) -- and it's honestly only become tolerable thanks to Pam, who finally taught me to do it right. I also really really like all the instructors and staff here and feel like they know me -- which helps a lot with motivation to be here. Let's just say as someone who used to hate going to the gym and rarely went, I come to Orange Theory about 5 days a week. As far as STUDIO LOCATIONS go: I've been going to Orange Theory for years now -- starting with the downtown location (LoDo / Union Station) -- and then here in Uptown when this location opened. I've also been to several different locations out of state when I travel to California for example (which is another great perk of Orange Theory: the ability to take classes at any location). That said, this is still HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE LOCATION (and I say that as someone who still walks here even after I've moved to Union Station and live literally 3 blocks from the downtown studio). Why? 1. More than anything, the staff/instructors. Yes, they change a lot at any studio. Pam has been a mainstay my entire time here, though, and she's this amazing little ball of energy and friendliness that I think really drives the trainers' approach here: getting to know members old and new, teaching/coaching everyone to always do better and perfect their form, being present with 110% energy for every class, etc. Its surprising how many studios DON'T have trainers like that. (Also a shout-out to Hayley and Devin here in Uptown -- and bring back Allison and DeeDee!) 2. The class schedule. There are tons of classes. Starting as early as 5am (which I don't even think of as daytime or an hour I'd be awake, unless I'm STILL awake, but to each their own). And ending at 8pm -- with like 10+ options in the middle. Conversely, I can't find a 60-minute class on a weekday downtown after 8am and before 3pm (skipping the rush hours of working out). They have a few 45-minute lunch classes, but seems like a waste of an expensive membership. Their morning and evening classes are always completely packed with 30+ people, so you'd think they'd add some during the day, even if the class would be smaller. NOPE! Which is why I love Uptown. The smaller group classes at 9 and 10am are the best if you can manage with your schedule! 3. The location/building/condition. Easy street parking, always clean, in a nice new building, free towel service for the shower, equipment in good condition, etc. And you'd be surprised this deserves a mention: large workout room with good air flow! Yeah, not always the case everywhere. A lot of studios are tiny or awkwardly shaped (weight stations in a different room for example), or in older buildings with crap circulation. I honesty have a hard time breathing sometimes in the downtown studio. (It's hardly their fault, but still makes working out less enjoyable there). Anyway, love this studio and love Orange Theory. You should join and say I referred you ;)

This is the most intense full body workout I have experienced compared to any other gym - period! I even did Crossfit consistently for six months and this doesn't compare. I thought maybe some of the other reviewers hadn't worked out much which is why this seemed so hard...nope I was wrong. Be ready for a seriously hard workout every single time. But you also leave class feeling super accomplished and ready to tackle any obstacles! The coaches are encouraging, upbeat and pay attention to form. It's a different workout every time so your body won't get used to any one movement. Now it's important to point out that even if you aren't mega fit it's ok! You can modify anything and take it at your own pace. It's not some crazy bro competitive atmosphere either, people are there to work on their personal goals and fitness - that's it! If you want to build muscle/lose weight, sign up for the free week stat. You're likely to get into the class even if your waitlisted FYI, just be good about checking your email! Parking is easy. Be sure to bring a water bottle and a small towel for sweat!

The instructors (Ryan and Cory) were welcoming to this newcomer and every day is different, so it was easy to jump in despite not being a regular. Each class involved multiple rounds of exercises targeting different body parts of the body utilizing free weights, body weight, other equipment like jump ropes and steps, and lots of cardio. It's not easy, but the classes really fly by! The instructors were motivating throughout and blasted music to keep up the energy. I went early in the morning and street parking was easy to find outside. They have some cubbies to put your stuff, as well as a water fountain, but don't expect too many other amenities like towels or showers.
