I'm a huge OTF fan and have been for the past 5 years. Although my home studio is Rock Hill and I'm…read morepretty biased to that location, I decided to workout with a friend whose studio is Concord. I had to come write a review about my experience yesterday. A young man that works at the desk stepped up and coached class with the scheduled coach was a no show. He could have easily cancelled class I'm sure, or problem solved in some other aspect. However, he stepped up and coached... when he isn't a coach. I can imagine this was super nerve wracking as there's a lot of management when it comes to a class. I was super grateful that he did this and I got my workout in for the day. He did way better than I could and I was impressed. I am unsure of his name, but props to him!! :) Thank you!!

Orangetheory Fitness started off as a free one hour session for me to see what the hype was about…read more In the past I've used personal trainers that were beyond expensive and although I saw results, I wanted more out of it. What can I say? OTF is a game changer for me! I'm a self proclaimed OTF addict and I never felt so enthusiastic to go. Every session is different and every session I always push myself to exceed my previous numbers. OTF is a group class scheduled hourly that has super enthusiastic trainers and great music playlists (lol). You're given a heart monitor (that you have to purchase if you decide to become a member) and there's a huge tv screen that lets you know your oxygen consumption, heart rate, and splat points. Generally, you want to remain in the orange zone and gain at least 12 splat points to further your caloric expenditure. Cons: it's a little pricey. They have different packages for you to purchase. I started off with an 8 session package ($99) and used it up in 2 weeks so I forced myself to get the unlimited. Pros: muscle definition, stamina, and leaving every session with a smile. Also, you can workout at different locations - even out of state!

Whether you know all the exercises or are just starting out, they care enough to make sure you are getting the most benefit out of their workouts safely. I just started on my path to wellness and I have felt like part of their family since day one! They offer a one week trial so that you can make sure TeamSam is a good fit for you...I knew within that week that this was the place for me! No more feeling lost and unsure of how to get myself strong while staying injury-free. The other athletes are all sizes and abilities and are all so friendly - and happy to be there working out! Logistics - good equipment, clean bathrooms and a great water fountain set up so you can keep your water bottle full! They even have a kids area, so the younger generation can hang out while mom and dad workout...leave your tiny ones with a sitter - there's no supervised childcare in the facility. TeamSam offers a bunch of different classes - boot camps, "booty squad" for groups of 8 or so, cardio kickboxing, "LittleMissFit class" and small group personal training (up to 6). And the most impressive thing is that they charge a fraction of the prices at other gyms and you get so much more out of their programs! It is definitely worth your time to st least come check this place out!

They encourage ladies to lift heavy---it is surprisingly difficult to find boutique studios that adhere to this philosophy! I trained several times with Michelle, who meticulously corrected my form. This is exactly the kind of personal attention I am looking for and that I do not always find at the more franchise-type studios. TS bootcamps are HARD (I recall doing calf raises on the curb outside the front of the studio in the heat--that was killer) which I also appreciate. I'm a working parent and looking for max value from my workouts with the time I can find for them, and this place definitely gets it done.

Absolutely not. 10/10 would pickle pound here again.

Not sure what set him off, but the instructions weren't super clear and I wanted to be sure I followed them correctly. Must have been a heat of the moment comment bc luckily he's still at it. And the heart rate notification is an odd flex. Would probably increase to 4 or 5 stars if he hit the 30 corridor harder. Edit: adding 1 star b/c Flo personally reached out to me and scheduled a boot camp along hwy 30. That's character!

I look forward to working with her every day. Like a lot of the other reviews mention; I don't even feel like I've been there an hour; it goes by so fast! But the workouts are intense and are set up in a way that I always feel motivated to push myself. (More than I ever have before) I am happy to report that I am signing up for a year membership; as well as their 6 week body transformation that starts in a couple of weeks. (Nutrition based). If you haven't found a gym or program that works for you, I urge you to try TF for a month!

I first learned about Torched on Facebook. I was hesitant to get started but bit the bullet and…read moresigned up for a boot camp. WOW. I have belonged to several gyms over the years and they don't hold a candle to Torched. I went to 24 Hour Fitness for the hours but it didn't stick. I tried Club Fitness for the price but it was really intimidating and I wound up feeling lost and out of place the whole time. I gave up on gym life for a while but eventually was lured to Planet Fitness by their promise of a no judgement zone. Sure, I never felt judged but it also never felt like a gym. It was too easy to talk myself into biking for ten minutes then getting a massage. Eventually I wound up using it pretty much just for the tanning. So fast forward to the beginning of 2018 and I'm the heaviest I've ever been, looking at a rigorous work/school schedule, and trying to have a baby with my husband. I needed a change. So I signed up for Torched and had a sit down with Jeremy, the head dude. We talked about my goals and about where I had failed - nix that - where my gyms had failed me before. I bought his sales pitch and decided to try out the 6 week boot camp because, worst case scenario, it's only six weeks, right? DUDE. I was a little nervous the first day because I've never done this sort of pseudo-cross-fit-circuit-training type of thing before. The trainer, Daniel, was a star, though, and walked me through it step by step. The second day was easier, then the third, until suddenly I realize I'm three weeks in and I'm LOVING IT. I go at 5am and see pretty much the same people every week. I feel like I'm making friends - I look forward to seeing them and working out with a great group of people keeps me motivated to keep pushing forward when I'm tired and want to stop. Everyone I've met has been friendly and kind and motivated to work hard and do better. The trainer in the morning, Emily, is brilliant. I pulled a muscle and hurt my knee (not at the gym!) during the boot camp and she was right there with me during my workouts to make sure that I was taking care of my injuries while still getting the most out of my time. Well, sadly I didn't finish the boot camp, but for good reason. The last week I found out I'm pregnant! I sat down with Jeremy again and we talked it all through. He's super supportive and is dedicated to making sure that I can still have a safe, effective workout throughout my pregnancy. I signed up for a whole year! Never in my life did I ever think that *I* would love going to the gym (mostly because video games are amazing and pizza is like crack). I guess it took finding the right gym.

I signed up via groupon just to try it out. In my head I was thinking of how boot camp really is in the military and was slightly worried the class would make me cry. I've never been so pleasantly wrong! I'm not athletic. Actually, I hate exercise. That's what I thought. What I found out... I'm still not athletic, but I don't hate exercise when I'm doing it with a bunch of people or maybe 3 other people like I hate being alone on a treadmill. The classes are always a new adventure. Without a doubt, the trainers make that program and classes fun. Real, legitimate, fun. They push you in all the right ways. They haggle you and you can give it right back, you can cheat on the stairs and they will know, but let you know you're only cheating yourself. To be fair, it takes some time to be able to do the exercises well. I'm a clumsily, non athletic person, so my workouts are always a little off! I've since broken my foot so I can't run (and my asthma just wouldn't let me run before very much either) but that's ok. There's always an issue with a client and always a solution so that everyone gets their own workout. Because that's what counts. But honestly, doing as much as you can during the workout is far better than doing nothing. And lots of the techniques are things you can do at home for practice. Like when I was in bed for 3 months this winter because of my foot, I laid in bed watching Netflix....working out my arms. Armed with a heavy book and extended arms, I did circles with the book that worked my arms and even a little core. If you want to laugh when you workout, this is for you. If you want one hour exactly and not a second more of a workout, you've found it. If you feel like you didn't do anything on the treadmill for an hour, you probably burned the calories of the yogurt you had for breakfast. If you're looking for a short, fast paced workout with very strategic maneuvers that will tone and sculpt your body you've found it. If you're looking for exercise classes that are supportive, strong, challenging, customized to you, you don't have to look any further. These classes have everything you want and lots you didn't even know you wanted. Honestly, vanity will so win, but health will trump your hot bod... And I swear it takes about a month and 3x a week to see the changes and a week to feel like your whole body is happy for you.
