Orangetheory Fitness

I’ve been attending Jasper Gates OTF since August 2014 and I’m in love. The workout changes every day and I’ve never had the same workout or playlist in the 1.5 years I’ve been a member. The unpredictability of workouts is definitely a benefit — your body doesn’t know what is coming next! I generally attend Jen/​Rheyanne/​Kate classes and they’re all very encouraging, attentive, and great for correcting form or coming up with easier/​more difficult variations to challenge you.
There are 4 types of workouts: strength, power, endurance, and a combo (ESP). Each is always challenging in its own way and has pushed me to not only be a faster runner but significantly stronger. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend to friends and family of all fitness levels.

Overall my experience at Orange Theory has been a good one HOWEVER when it came time for my husband and I to cancel and return to World Health we were treated very poorly. World Health and Orange Theory are owned by the same company. About 2 weeks ago my husband and I went in to cancel our Unlimited Premium memberships. The two staff members advised that we could downgrade to the Basic memberships for our final months to save use about $ 140 (half off) which would have allowed us 4 sessions (not unlimited like we had before). They assured us of what our final payments would be and we were very happy. We went and spent the savings on resuming our memberships at World Health only to notice that the FULL balance for the premium memberships were charged to our credit cards. After 3 DAYS of trying diligently to reach a member of management, finally the Director of the Edmonton Studios called me back and left a message saying that the downgrade would be ignored since we were cancelling and there was nothing he could do. I have been trying to call him back all day with no success. It’s very upsetting that they think it’s fair to charge whatever amount they’d like to our credit cards and there is no accountability for what we were told would ACTUALLY be charged to the card. This is theft in my opinion.
I feel totally scammed and mistreated by a company that I used to really respect. You should be ashamed of yourself Orange Theory for this inexcusable mistreatment. I will be sharing my story on other social media forums, with the BBB and with my credit card company. Please call me back as soon as possible to arrange a refund of the amount we were overcharged. You have my number…

I’ll admit, I’d heard of OTF before and didn’t think it sounded like fun at all so I avoided it. But after winning a months worth of classes for a great deal at a silent auction while simultaneously realizing I am skinny fat, I had to try it out.
I went last week for the first time and it was AWESOME! I was worried you would have someone screaming at you the whole time and you’d want to throw up but that wasn’t the case. The instructor was really no ova tiny and encouraging and the fact that you can see your heart rate and keep in the correct zone for burning maximal calories was awesome.
The workout is never the same which keeps things really fresh. There is always awesome music helping you to catch your stride. It’s a great mix of cardio and resistance training.
In my last 1 hour class I burned 920 calories! That’s insane! And that doesn’t even include the afterburn that continues for up to 36 hours after your workout.
If you are even considering getting a personal trainer, I highly suggest trying this out for a fraction of the monthly cost of having a trainer.

After living overseas for one very inactive year, Orange Theory put the fun back in fitness.
The staff are super welcoming, class times are accommodating and the workout is so worth the sweat!
I love knowing I can get an effective workout done in just one hour and have amazing results.

This place is amazing, from the first time walking in the staff are so nice, and welcoming! I came here with a friend, I had to come in a bit earlier as it was my first time! They show you around, you also need to wear a heart monitor which they show you how to put on etc! The instructor took me into the workout area, and just explained to me what we were going to be doing, and how the equipment works! The music is pumping, and the instructor is wearing a microphone to give you instructions of what we will be doing and for how long, also very motivating also just saying you can do this, you deserve this it gives you that extra push when your feeling tired or that you can’t go any longer! I was defiantly feeling the burn the next day!!!
