I have been to many gyms and have used many personal trainers throughout my life. James is by far…read morethe best I have ever seen. His knowledge of anatomy, proper form and the appropriate exercises each person needs is without parallel. Not to mention that James has a friendly demeanor and an upbeat personality. I have seen James train other people as well. He customizes the exercise plan to the needs of each person. Highly recommended! By the way, the gym is clean and well equipped. The desk staff is always friendly and cordial.

Signed up to do group classes and will probably only do group classes here and continue to go to…read morethe clean gym with nice equipment and clean amenities around the corner that's less money. Tanning booths and room were disgusting and dirty. Looks like they haven't been clean ever. Dust, dirt, and hair everywhere. Looks like you could catch a fungus or a disease. Gym machine equipment are old, torn up and outdated. Apparently there's no AC either.

So the idea behind OTF is heart based interval training. You wear a heart rate monitor during class…read moreand your stats are displayed on the screen so you can see your heart rate & calorie burn. You can also see the minutes tick away as you run your life away on the treadmill. There are 2 options for the monitor, there is a chest strap and one you can wear around your forearm or bicep. I have since upgraded to the forearm/bicep version. I didn't realize how much I can/could push myself! I often felt like I was dying but when I looked up at the screen it said I wasn't really exerting myself so I would push a little more. OTF really takes you out of your comfort zone and I LIKE IT. 2020 will mark four years of OTF-ing for me and I've been to my share of studios but nothing beats a brand new studio. Everything is shiny, bright and not broken!

One day I decided to see what this Orangetheory Fitness was all about. I walked in and I was…read moregreeted by a lovely staff. Unfortunately I suck at remembering names. Anyway she had set me up to come back for a free class. The very next day I took a class with Coach Sarah. Oh boy was that class intense. I walked out there like WTH was that. Somehow I signed up with Makayla. Now I'm thinking Jatara why would you sign up you know you don't work out often. I went home and told me husband that I signed up for Orangetheory and he laughed. Six months later as I write this Review Orange Theory has truly changed my life. I love the fact the you can attend any Orangetheory in the world still brings music to my ears especially us Yelpers who are always traveling. I love the whole concept about splat points and staying in the Orange (hint that's why it's called Orange Theory) So basically you need to get 12 or more splat points by staying in the Orange zone, if you reached 12 or more points by the end of your 60 minute workout you will burn 20% of the calories you burn throughout the day. So that's Orangetheory in a nutshell. You are never in competition with anyone but yourself. At this particular location the staff and the coaches are awesome. I usually attend the 5:00 am class, the head Coach Melissa usually teaches that class or Danny. Melissa is awesome no matter where she is she can see what's going on and assist you if you are not doing it right which most of the time I'm not (that's why I'm there, much needed guidance). I know people complaint about the prices but I think it's worth every penny, you get the workout that you need and the attention of a coach to teach you how to do it correctly. Your basically paying for a personal training all in one. I love how this location is so personal it makes you feel like you are part of a family. I'm still quite and really don't speak much because I'm just not in a speaking mood at 5am. Well actually all the location make you feel like part of a family. I'm always at some other location, but this is my home gym and because of them I'm addicted to Orangetheory Fitness. At this location I took classes with Head Coach Melissa, Danny, Sarah and Emily. There are other location I have been to and I literally avoid going at certain times because of some coaches playlist yes playlist, you need good music to workout and these coaches here always have a good playlist, but for Stony Brook it doesn't matter who I sign up with or what time I go. I'm getting quality coaching from all and a great playlist. I like the fact that they keep is fun and challenging at the same time. They use IG that's Instagram ( which is new to me ) to keep us updated on all the events and other stuff happening for that month. They also have a app so you can book your classes in advance and see your progress as well. So bottom line, do I recommend OTF? Absolutely!!!!!!
