Orangetheory Fitness, Philadelphia PA

It a trap. Once you start you can't quit. You become addicted to this place. #Definitely try it.

Otf is amazing. First the over the phone conversation had me cause I was looking for something else and came across them. Once I got there omg amazing. They are so nice and helpful. The class was awesome. I would recommend anyone! Great place nice staff

The staff is so friendly and amazing! I look forward to going to their classes because they make working out fun. After just a few classes I already feel stronger.

Excellent experience! I did one class, and I'm hooked! Staff were so amazing and welcoming!

The understanding of the coaches for each person's physical and psychic situation is the biggest plus of the Orangetheory "philosophy". I've only participated twice thus far, but there's a real connection I feel there with the coaches. They push everyone, yes, but not to the point of even close to breaking. There's care for who you ARE, not what you can do at a given moment. This is so key to me, as I'm coming back after a long period of time away from any gym, athletic training or physical therapy. Everybody had an immediate understanding that I need to ratchet up, step-by-step, not jump in at some really high level. There's no odd comparison, and no sense of that going on, and for that I'm deeply grateful. I appreciate this-I can gauge for myself where I need to be starting in a given session, and where I want to go without feeling pressured. Excellent!

I always feel accomplished and more energized after an Orangetheory class. The classes challenge me to push myself a little each time and the coaches help me keep going with their encouragement. And I'm enjoying this location. The staff is really friendly, helpful and just has great energy! If I tried to do this on my own, it would not be the same or have the same results. Glad to be back after my 2+year break due to the pandemic!

Coaches are great. I’ve had a very positive experience. The customer service is wonderful and my wife and I have had good experiences with the front desk customer service as well

I was totally skeptical when my friend dragged me to my first class but now I’m a believer! I love the consistent full body workout I get and the coaches are so supportive and motivating. I’m usually so lost at figuring out what I should be doing at the gym, so OTF really gives me the guidance and structure I needed. Highly recommend!

In general I believe the Orangetheory Fitness program works. I describe it to others as having a time share with a personal trainer. I couldn't afford a personal trainer all the time nor did I need them every time, but in a group class setting, it's great that the coach is there. They describe the workout to you; keep watch on the timing; give you alternatives to the exercises; correct your form; give you encouragement; and motivate you to improve by pushing you to walk at a steeper angle, run faster, row with more watts at a controlled stroke pace, lift with appropriate weights, and do body weight exercises with good form.

Orangetheory Fitness - University City is my home gym. I have been a member since 2019 a couple months after they opened. I started with the Basic (4 class/month) program and over time upgraded to their Elite (8 class/month) program and now their Premier (unlimited) program.
It is walkable from UPenn, Drexel, and Penn Medicine. It is my home gym because I go 3-5 times per week around my work schedule.

I do have the option to go to other locations at no additional cost near my home when I want to go on a weekend or a day off from work. I have used my membership in other states at no additional cost. And I have been to locations internationally for a nominal drop in cost.

I have met staff in many locations, but there is something to the group of people you see more often at your home gym. The OTF staff here are energizing. Greetings as you enter make you feel very welcome. Coaches are engaging in the studio. And the members support each other. I don't feel like I am competing with any other member in the studio. We're all here doing the same thing to the best of our ability and cheering each other on with smiles, fist bumps and at times applause.

If you like group exercise in a lively environment, this is a place to try out. If you don't want to or know how to put together your own exercise program, this is a place to try out. If you are new, unsure and scared of exercise as I was, this is a place to try out. And if this review convinced you to come in, let them know I sent you.

OTF has a special place in my heart. I love all the OTF studios that I've been to but my all time fave is UCity. The front desk staff are all so sweet and accommodating. The coaches are ALL awesome but my faves are G and Hayley. All the coaches support and push you to be your best in every class. The workouts are very well put together. I look forward to working out at OTF and I have never felt that way before. I have a degree in Kinesiology and was a personal training for 10yrs. Of all the gyms and studios I've worked in none of them compared to OTF.

I just started attending OrangeTheory and it’s kicking my a$$. Despite almost dying (lol) the work out is structured in a great and full body experience way. All the staff are amazing and make you feel like a superstar. They are personable and amicable. Thank you guys for making my new experience at theory inviting and giving me the drive to come back in a few days to almost die all over again

OTF has changed my life! I never enjoyed
working out, but I actually look forward to going
to OTF. The coaches at U City are second to
none. So motivating, inspiring, and caring. All of
them. It has grown to feel like a family. Also,
What's really cool is my heart heath went from
"below average" to "good" after 6 months of
consistent OTF 4xs per week! I've also lost
weight, and I feel like I have more energy in my
daily life. OTF really does give you #morelife if
you let it! ️

Really like this group of coaches, glad they added a couple later classes, and hoping they are able to add a few more Lift classes. I'd highly recommend this location.

This studio has an incredibly uplifting staff, enthusiastic coaches, and inviting environment! Working out with these individuals is a crucial part of my day, and I highly recommend this studio to anyone interested in joining the OTF community in Philadelphia!
