Orangetheory Fitness, Westlake OH

Have enjoyed working out with Orange theory for the past 3 yrs now. Love the classes and have made some really good friends over the years.

Have to say that this was not one of my favorite OTF studios. I was visiting this studio from out of town and when I came in they asked to take my photo (I have NEVER been asked at any OTF location for them to take my photo and I found that intrusive and a little creepy).

The biggest issue I had was that I got there early to get in line as I like to get the treadmill done first (got there at 5: 55 for a 6: 15 class). There were multiple members who showed up AFTER me and then just cut their way to the front of the line.

I have never seen that at an OTF studio before - usually people are respectful of the "line" and basic common courtesy but that seemed lost at this studio.

One woman came in at 6: 09, went to the bathroom, then cut across the studio to be #1 in line - and the staff did nothing. Soo, a little annoyed that I got up early to get cut in line. Perhaps better management of the line might make a better experience for other members.

The staff and trainers are friendly and encouraging, and the workouts are challenging. It’s a great way to burn a ridiculous amount of calories in a short time!

The workouts always change which I like, though I do feel a lot of them are endurance based (give us more power days!) The social distancing and sanitization practices are what made me rejoin. It’s the only place outside of my house I actually feel safe.

Everyone is helpful and encouraging for my wife and I to achieve our goals. Highly recommended!

Orangetheory Westlake provides an amazing one-hour workout for strength, power and endurance. I love how the coaches push and encourage me and how the monitors provide real-time feedback to allow me to compete against myself!

Decided to try the Westlake location. I brought a friend with me - her first class - and talked it up for weeks. When we signed her up over the phone a male receptionist told us to be there "around 3: 45". So we pulled into the parking lot at 3: 47 and walked in at 3: 48. There were like 5 or 6 receptionists there.maybe a shift change? One girl was incredibly rude (she had longish straight blonde hair and I overheard her saying she also works at a hospital as a receptionist). She told my friend to leave because she was "late". I still had to take the class and watched as the many workers sat around laughing and talking amongst themselves with nothing to do the next 27 minutes.

Anyway, total bummer and my friend probably thinks I'm nuts for going on and on about how great it is LOL.

Love OTF Westlake! The staff + coaches are so attentive + helpful. A great environment to workout in!
