Love orange because of the workouts, coaches, and community. The only gym membership that has ever worked for me!

Orangetheory is the best gym I've found. I like the variety in the workouts and the unknown templates keep me motivated to attend workouts. The workouts are always high energy and challenging. The culture is very supportive with encouragement and assistance from the coaches and celebrations with staff and other members. read more

I love just showing up and not having to think about what I'll do. I just arrive go into the gym and am led through a workout that burns 700 or more calories for me daily! read more

New to the area and I stopped by to check out the studio. I was given a thorough introduction of the concept of OT and a tour. What really caught my attention was the community feel- they have challenges, a member board, get-togethers, etc. The place is very clean and they have modern equipment. I signed up for my first intro class and I love how you need to come early so they can take the time to get to know you and your goals. Instructor Heidi was energetic and encouraging. Great class time availability- both early morning and late evening. They have showers if you need to get straight to work. Staff is all very friendly! I signed up for a membership and look forward to getting my butt kicked! read more

This is one of my favorite places in Temple in general...Everyone is so supportive, and the workouts are always high energy! I appreciate the coaches attentiveness to form during class and their high energy! If you've never done OT, the Temple studio is the perfect place to start! read more

What can I say about this place except it is absolutely amazing. The coaches and the staff are always encouraging you. Every month they have an outing where everyone comes out and hangs out and eats good food together and bonds. I pushed myself and did the dry try and all of the staff was there to encourage me as I pushed through the last of the run. I love theses people and they helped me get out of a serious funk I was in. Every month they are donating money to different charities. If you haven't come tried them out drop in for a free class! read more

See all

Great crew to workout with. The Instructors are motivating and provide a great environment to work out!

Definitely a place to check out! Dedicated coaching staff and a positive workout climate makes all the difference!

Amazing community. Coaches are so encouraging. Hands down the best workout I've ever taken. You're missing out if you don't give it a try.

Great workouts Great people. They have a great schedule and a good variety of workouts so you don't get bored. I like all the challenges that they do. read more

TL;DR: very expensive, great coaches restricted to rigid program, forced to buy expensive equipment you can't use elsewhere, limited class availability, bad cancellation policy, high-risk injury workouts Let's start at the top. I enjoyed many, many things about OTF over the three months or so I was a member. However, my criticisms, likely shared by others, were the ultimate reason why I am no longer a member and won't be a member again. The single largest issue, your program is too expensive for what you get. $150 and $90 a month for unlimited and 8 classes a month respectively is absurdly high. Add the cost of a mandatory heart rate monitor that isn't compatible with any other app but your own nor is any other heart rate monitor compatible with your app. It screams of the intentional decision making and scam. A quick Facebook marketplace search in any given area where an OTF location is will reveal dozens of pissed off former members attempting to sell their OTF monitors. Your cancellation policy. 30 days minimum notice is a scam. It's just one more way to rip off your customers into forcing them to pay for one more month that they don't want. If someone doesn't want to belong to your gym anymore, forcing them to pay for and attend ANOTHER month is only going to piss them off more. Problems with scheduling through the app. Several times my wife and I both ran into problems trying to schedule classes through the app and were forced to call the next business day. This lead to an issue once with the end of a billing cycle and losing a class that would have been scheduled but since a new billing month started, I was not allowed. When asked to discuss it with desk staff I was referred to the assistant manager, Alexis Roe, who also did not restore the lost class. My wife also encountered the same problem a month or two after myself and at that time did have a class restored. Considering restoring the single class costs an institution nothing as there is routinely plenty of empty space in classes, it seems highly foolish to push already subscribing customers away. This was the single moment that I decided I would be canceling my membership. Coaches. Crissy and Josh are your money makers. They're personable, authentic, and genuinely fun outgoing people. Though even wonderful coaches have their limitations when confined to rigid guidelines of OTF. The repetitive mandatory "was a 5 zone heart raced based fitness program" speech at the beginning of every class is tedious and unnecessary if there aren't any new members. Additionally, not enough emphasis is placed on customizing your workout to accommodate your heart rate in relation to your intensity. By this I mean, frequently coaches will tell you to go into a "push pace" or "all-out" when your heart rate is already in the red. Sometimes that is acceptable other times it is not. For safety reasons, it would be better to preface these situations with, "if your heart rate/zone color allows, go into "push/all-out pace. Otherwise, stay where you are and join us on the next push. Early in the program my wife and I consistently pushed ourselves way beyond what we were capable of and had to learn to just ignore coaches. Eventually, we came to terms with that but wish we didn't. It should have been more of the norm to not follow the coaches direction if your heart rate didn't permit the extra intensity rather than the exception. Weekend hours. For the high-end price of your program, classes should be available at the bare minimum 7 days a week until 8 or 9 pm including weekends. For those who work regular banking hours, no classes after 10 am on a weekend is a huge deal breaker. Injury. There isn't a convenient opportunity to discuss orthopedic limitations with coaches. At no fault of their own, it's challenging for them to be aware and have prepared alternative exercises for clients who are unable to perform certain movements. It ends up being an in the moment game time decision which is challenging with fast switch based workouts. Many times the replacement suggested exercise would be equally as harsh on a joint as the original. Having pre-thought out alternatives for a given exercise would make the job of the coaches easier than trying to come up replacements that may or may not be appropriate. On the subject of injuries, it would be wise not to use exercises frequently used by CrossFit. Certainly, not everything CrossFit does is bad. However, their programs are notorious with high injury rates and if I were developing an exercise curriculum, I would be hesitant to add prototypical CrossFit exercises. Especially snatches, probably one of the worst movements on shoulders and cause of injury. The feedback I have given I am confident is not unique. People like me who canceled their membership would all agree, these are your fundamental weaknesses. With changes, OTF could be one of the best available fitness programs currently on the market. read more

I started at OTF about 3 weeks ago. I was apprehensive because of past reviews but I am so glad that I went! Understanding the dynamics and the logistics of working out at this gym is important before going in for a trial, as it is not a typical gym but SO much more! You have set times when you can workout with a group of other people and an instructor. For those that need motivation and a kick this is the gym for you! The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and understanding of everyone's different body shapes and fitness levels. They always encourage you to push yourself, but remind you to stay safe. I would implore you to ignore reviews from 2018, as they have a new manger and I can honestly say I didn't experience anything negative signing up, or now. As stated, it is important to know what you are signing up for. This is NOT a free weight gym where you come and go as you please. This is a class based based program where you are guided by an instructor who will help and encourage you to stay in a healthy heart rate and fat burning zone! read more

Going off a previous review, I have been a member at OTF for over a year in the Austin area. I LOVE it there. I wanted my friend to try it who lives in the temple area. We show up at 825 and the class starts at 845 and she was very strong on saying nope we can't take you. Right in front of us the same thing happened too and the lady was pissed. She brought someone with her to try the class and she is also a member. I've seen them do intros plenty of times at the gym I go to and they can run through them quickly and really work with the customer, here it doesn't seem the customer service is on point. 1) it took me forever to make the appointment on the phone 2) I saw two people right in front of me that could have been two potential memberships and you shoo them away 3) I got a text the night before telling me if I'm 5 min late they will cancel me. (I've never gotten these type of texts before) instead of a friendly reminder that I had class tomorrow or something. They were too much, not customer based and forgetting that we pay SO much for this. membership monthly. I think this location will close down, sorry not sorry. The class times are already few and far in between and the classes aren't full. Good luck! read more

I was in Temple visiting from Collin County for Thanksgiving. My sister, my daughter, and I took the Black Friday workout. It was half off themed. It was an awesome workout. It was a great Ab day. My abs are still sore today! The staff was friendly and helpful. #bingocard#OTF is the best! We will be back in December! read more

This location and its staff is awesome. We are visiting from California, booked our class online, they communicated the night before and then the check in was seamless. Chrissy, the trainer, was very informative and made adjustments to the workout for my limitations. Definitely come here if you want a good workout. read more

I am so glad orange theory popped up in Temple! Over the last year I have been working toward becoming more athletic in general, but was feeling stuck in a rut. I switched gyms to orange theory and don't plan on ever looking back. A big part of my fondness with OT is the staff. Even at 5am the front desk staff is kind and welcoming, the coaches are encouraging and have a way of correcting form without criticizing, and the camaraderie I feel working out with others has been incredible! If you try orange theory temple, I can assure you that you will feel better about yourself, learn things about your body that you never knew, and meet new people! Thanks OT Temple! read more
