Orangetheory Fitness, Emeryville CA

Great workout, the coaches and staff here are great and make you feel comfortable. I’ve been going to gym my whole life, able to get in good workouts, but the environment they create at Orange Theory helps you push past your old standard and grow. 10/10 would recommend.

I love this place. The coaches and staff are great and so encouraging. Book a class. Seriously.

Trainers are amazing, everyone who works there is super nice. Classes are hard but The music and motivation keep you going and you feel great afterward. Couldn’t recommend it more!

I have only gone for a (free) single session, as it turns out it was not really for me.

I think the strength section of the classes are a very tough place to start for beginners. The weight moves are complicated, and there is only about a 10 second demo given before beginning. While you work out, they have video monitors showing what the movement is supposed to look like, but the videos are all captured at terrible angles and are really too small to be seen through sweaty eyelids. No guidance at all is given for reps / sets / weight.

Needless to say, I couldn't really figure out if I was doing anything correctly during the strength section of the class. The coach was polite and did try to help, but without any guidance given to how muscles should be activating, it was impossible for me to tell if I was actually doing anything useful - it certainly did not feel like I was!

The heart rate monitor was pretty cool to really show you progress during the cardio part of the workout. That being said, I bought my own on Amazon and have been using it to guide my own regimen. I have had better luck picking routines / videos online for strength than I did in the strength segment of this class.

I would say this place makes sense if you are a veteran runner who is looking for something new, or really need the motivation of someone yelling at you to do your cardio. Would not recommend for those just starting out.

Amazing place, super welcoming, and attentive to clients needs through out the work outs! Feels like a family:)

Very motivating staff. I've been to a few locations now, and Emeryville is my absolute favorite.

Encouraging, well organized and plenty of options in terms of substitute movements. Always a great workout. Thank you.

I have been going to classes at OTF Emeryville for 1 1/2 and I honestly don’t know what I would do without it. The workouts are challenging and new every day. The coaches are encouraging, energetic and fun! Special shout out to Coach Ashley, Coach Adena, and Coach Shah! Their support has helped me to reach new levels and goals. The support staff at the front desk is beyond helpful, and super friendly! The entire facility is kept clean, and the music is always jamming! I recommend OTF to anyone of any age or level of fitness. The coaches always offer modifications and ask if you have any injuries or limitations. This is a no judgement environment that welcomes all!

I’ve been a member here for almost 10 months and everything about this place is great.from the staff, coaches, cleanliness, free parking, members. I’ve visited other OTFs in the area and there’s something special about the vibe/environment at Emeryville!

I have been going to Live Orangetheory Fitness for a month and a half now, and have been very happy. My trainer, the gym manager, location, and machine availability are all great.

Coach Shah - a dynamic personality that brings positive energy, educational and professional coaching and a great playlist!

High-energy, super efficient workout that gets me fit without having to spend endless hours in the gym. Plus the coaches are so motivating and make sure the workout works for each of us.

Emeryville location has the best coaches, I visit other locations but I always find my way back to Emeryville. Great energy, every class!
