Best workout, amazing coaches and staff. Fun and motivating. You won’t regret adding OTF to your life.
Only workout I can commit too ! Came back after 2 years off and realized again how much I loved it
Love the structured workouts, the fun signature classes and the friendly staff. Its pricey but totally worth it!!
Best place to get a workout in the 518. Wasn’t a workout person until I became a member here! Coaches/staff hold you accountable if they aren’t seeing you as often — We all signed up for a reason, right? I tell everyone about OTF Albany and all of the locations in the Capital Region!
Excellent. Would recommend.
I purchased a single month as a gift for christmas. I was assured by sales rep it was a one time charge as i paid over the phone on my business card. Come to find out later that year they charged me monthly. Terrible customer service and terrible manager. Hope they never reopen. Less people will have to deal with the lies. 600 dollars to offer me a free month.
Orangetheory is a fun workout for all fitness levels. The class work is different daily but provides a great way to work at your pace. Instructors are fun and aware of the class and help people when needed. Also the place is super clean! Highly recommend!
Awesome, awesome, awesome! A great place to work out and live the dream.
I was a member of vent fitness for a very long time and also have an entire gym in my basement which is nice for those days you can’t get out. But it wasn’t until I joined Orangetheory that I actually had my first REAL workout!!It’s great accountability and I’ve never sweat like that in any workout. I love it here. I come at least 4 times per week. I just completed my 6th workout and already people are noticing a change in my physique and I can feel it!It’s a great feeling when you know you’re doing something good for your health!I’m grateful for this place. It’s the one thing I needed to finally change my life for the better.
What I love most about Orangetheory Fitness are the coaches, the results, the atmosphere, and the accountability. The coaches really push you and give you a great workout. The results that you see by working our 3 or more times a week are unmatched by any other gym. The atmosphere is welcoming and challenging. The price is fair and it makes you accountable to stay committed to the workout and the plan. I couldnt be happier with my health, how I look and to be apart of a great company.
Love the small crowds, schedule workouts, and getting help with new exercises.
Rock solid workouts
Getting them splack points!
I honestly hated to workout before coming here. The coaches are phenomenal and you really feel like you’re working out! The coaches are so nice. They get to learn your name and help you with your technique. It feels like a home. I completely recommend Orangetheory Fitness to anyone looking to get in shape.
Every class is unique and challenging. The studio is a welcoming environment with great people. The staff and coaches are incredibly professional and go above and beyond to make sure you get the most from your workout.
The daily change in workouts is great. All of the mini-challenges are very motivating. The Coaches really do care about form and correct you on the weight room floor to ensure injuries are prevented. The whole ambiance of the studio is motivating in itself!
Great workout with great people
I love the fact that its a group workout, but also individual. The group atmosphere provides the support to keep pushing through, while you can get in your own zone and compete with yourself. The trainers are amazing and the facility is clean.
Excellent first workout. Staff was super friendly and explained everything. The class was split into 3 blocks. It went by sooo fast! Absolutely great workout.
Staff was very friendly and welcoming. They took out the time with you to too make sure you had all the information you need to know. The first class is free. Even though it is group classes they still make you feel like an individual. The coach mike was great at making my first class amazing. He even gave me pointers after so i can do my best. The price is alittle steep per month if you plan on being there for alot of classes. Ik of other gyms that are way less but the equipment is way more up to date at orange theory. I also like that they have treadmills since my goal is to run outside when the weather is nice. However they do have other plans. The heart rate monitor was also alil pricey. They offer 3 month payment plan for that as well.They have a 30 day cancellation. Im taking this journey really serious so im going to give it a try . ill post later to say more with updates.
This is an amazing place for a 45-1 hr work out with amazing results. Couldn’t be more thrilled with the staff and trainers. All welcome you like family.
I am new and love this gym. Never experienced anything like it before. Everyone is nice and very helpful. Its worth the cost.....
You will get an incredible workout! The venue is great along with the music and instruction. Its one of the best workouts Ive had.
The hour flies by and its always a guaranteed great workout. Good for people at all levels of fitness too. Tons of modifications offered as well as extra challenges to choose from. I highly recommend it!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and wanted to put my membership on hold. They were very nice about putting the membership on hold, however they contacted me several times about coming back. I had 2 surgeries and was going thru radiation and was definitely not ready to come back yet. It was the end of November and I had called to cancel my membership since they kept on calling for me to come back. I explained my situation and wanted to cancel my membership for now and will join up again when I knew I would be healthy enough to start working out again. So, as I said it was the end of November, they said I had to pay for the month of December since I went from suspending my membership to canceling it. I told them I had cancer and was going thru treatment and was unable to work out. The girl at the western ave location told me, it doent matter what the reason is that your canceling you still have to pay for one more month. I honestely couldt believe the lack of compassion and asked to speak to the manager. The manager reiterated what the first girl said by telling me it doesnt matter the reason thats company policy and she was unable to deviate from that. She then said, I had to pay for December and at least I could use the gym for the month. This was the worst customer service I think Ive ever experienced. I had all intention of going back once I knew I was cancer free and had my energy back. Im truly discusted in this gym and the way they treat people!
If you want to get whipped into shape and you dont have the motivation to do it on your own this is where you need to go. Instructors are awesome and can modify any of the exercises to enable you to maximize your workout.
I like that it is different every day and that you are always doing a combination of different exercises that target different zones/muscles of the body. After having a baby, it was really hard for me to get back into exercise despite being into physical fitness my whole life. Orangetheory and the Albany trainers gave me the motivation I needed to get back into shape and now I am in the best shape of my life. I cant say enough good things about it!
The staff seems to be the very rude and racist. I was a first time customer and wanted to buy a class, the receptionist asked me to wait for about 20 minutes while she helped other customers who came after me. When I asked her for help, she told me to try another class at another location because they require to be at the location before 30 mins of start time (I was there 35 mins early). What a waste of time in the morning.Please be nice to your customers and train your staff.
Bright and clean facilities. Friendly staff. Thank you
Very very dishonest business management! They “require” a credit card on file for a FREE TRIAL! That’s a bit absurd considering that you already sign a liability waiver to ensure that if something happens on the premises, they are covered. Personally, the female “manager” at the ALBANY location had no clue what she was talking about. I reviewed BOTH contracts and nowhere on there does it state that you are REQUIRED to put a card on file. It only makes STRONG suggestions about using their heart rate monitor and if lost/damaged, you would be liable for replacement. After spending 15 minutes just reading over the proper documents, and proving them WRONG about their own policy, she proceeded to tell me that I wasn’t within the 30 minute requirement for the intro. Be VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS PLACE! If you don’t read the fine print, they will coerce you into believing that they NEED a card on file when nowhere on their contracts does it state that.I want to note that I’m new to the tri-state area and have done trials at almost all the gyms in the region when searching for a gym home. NONE OF THEM REQUIRE A CARD ON FILE OTHER THAN THIS PLACE!!!!!! That’s a bit deterring, and if you ask me, a bit of a scam to hold people accountable for EXTRA CHARGES when they forget to remove their card off file after ‘X’ amount of days!!!Also found it VERY unprofessional that they wanted my CARD OVER THE PHONE! How are you to verify it’s MY CARD? How do you know it’s ‘ME’ you are speaking to? That’s just opening the doors to FRAUD!!!!BUYERS BEWARE!!!!! READ THE CONTRACT!!!! YOUR CARD IS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR A FREE TRIAL AT GYM EVEN IF THEY SAY SO VERBALLY!!!! It’s just another way to TRICK NEW MEMBERS who don’t sign up!!!
Great classes and amazing coaches. Couldnt be happier to have this as my home studio!
Amazing workout and service. Donny/Dayna/Paul and Tara are great. Motivates you to wake up earlier and get a great workout.
The attendance policy hold you accountable and I have never felt like I couldn’t do something during a workout. I have definitely suprised myself
Was in town visiting family and Denisia (bad spelling sorry!) snuck me into a class with Tara. Everyone on staff was amazing and the class kicked my butt, over 30 splat points and almost 1k in lost calories.Thanks for taking care of this west coast kid. Hope to see you again on my next trip back.
One of my favorite Chinese take out places. Easy to order online with grub hub. The chowfun dish is really good.
Orangetheorys workouts are always challenging. They make you strive to work harder than you did the class before. Visual monitoring of heart rate zones keeps me motivated to push my hardest the whole time.
I am a dedicated OTF fan. Been a member for 15 months consistently. Theres a full automated regimen. Over time you work out every muscle without thinking about it. The coaches offer valuable group encouragement and remind individuals where they are with getting a minimum satisfaction of 12 splat points in high heart rate zones. And if you workout 3x or more a week, I did for a year, you can lose big! I lost 16 lbs without thinking much about anything but showing up! 80% is showing up not competing in the boards or beating others. Just be part of the pack and win! PS The music playlists are great and the members are great. I dont see a lot of attrition. People wanna be part of OTF and attend their social events, too! The fundraising piece is inspiring. The games and monthly challenges make it fun! This year I am actually looking forward to Hell Week!
Finally got back to working out after years and Im loving the the whole Orange Theory theory. The staff in Albany is attentive and helpful and the heart monitor keeps you motivated and challenged.
Absolutely the best work out around!! The fastest hour of my day, the coaches are great and best of all I feel great at the end of class.
Amazing workouts with proven results. What more could you ask for!
It is very commercialized.Please dont forget to ask about their cancelation policy which is absolutely not great. I went for better fitness center, will never prefer going back to Orange theory.
Dishonest business management, I had cancer and needed to go on treatments. I asked to cancel membership before next monthly payment. But they charged me for extra month membership fee. Later on when I resolve misunderstanding with them. They won’t refund me money but a credit for future use. I was going on the cancer treatment, not event knowing when will my health br recovered. In adddition, it was their fault to overcharged me. How could they not refund me the money? With the bad business ethic, I would not want to go back to them?
Great team, awesome workouts, couldn’t be happier!
Orange Theory is not like any other gym, its more like a family of professionals who lead a community of friends and family to reach personal goals. The workout it self lends to a base training for endurance sports such as all terrain running and duatholons. Each workout is crafted toward a specific challenge that will help you to get stronger in more ways than one. I have gotten faster on my runs, place in duatholon races and blaze through mountains in all weather because of the continuous conditioning at OT. The workouts are never the same, you never have to overthink the routine and you always get results. I have never been disappointed, discouraged, or felt that I cant because of the coaches delivery. Although I have my favorite coaches (Chris, Emilia & Julie C.), all of them at the Albany location make each workout that much better with encouragement and energy. They are all unique in their own way but most of all when working on the floor or even just greeting us as we walk in the door, it is clear that they really care about each one of the members. Truly a different kind of Fitness Community!
Absolutely love this class - it pushes me so much harder than I would on my own at the gym. All the staff are super supportive and knowledgeable!
Love how I feel after my workout. I am noticing the difference in just 3 weeks.
Got a great new friend!
Ive joined many gyms and have tried countless workout programs, but I can honestly say that OTF has been the perfect fit for me. The workouts are only one hour long but are packed with calorie burning, muscle building exercises that challenge myself to go beyond my comfort zone. And the coaches are amazing encouragers! I like that I can use the OTF app to review my workouts and monitor my progress. The real deciding factor for me is that it works! I have lost over 20 pesky pounds, Im stronger and fitter than Ive ever been, and I actually love going to the gym!
The question is not about what I like... its about what I LOVE about your workout! Where do I even begin!? First and foremost, the trainers learn who their clients are and provide feedback and encouragement during each workout. One of my favorite things Coach Taylor does is build up people who are within five minutes of achieving twelve splat points. She calls us out which usually prompts me to up the speed or incline to push myself further. She knows I can and at that point, I know I can, too. I also love the music. Working out on my own leaves me fumbling with slippery earbuds and skipping tracks constantly. OTF workouts take care of that for you, which I LOVE. I like, also, how each person can go at his/her own pace/speed/weight. It creates a welcoming environment in which there is no pressure to keep up. Your own fitness goals are at the focal point of every workout and eliminates feeling inferior. I recommend OTF to anyone willing to listen! I love the way my body feels and my confidence goes through the roof, which helps me professionally and personally. Keep doing what youre doing, OTF!!
Always different but hard, reliably sore the next day, love the coaches and the #girlpower vibes. So worth it.
Love it and easy to when youre traveling! Great instructor!
Motivating, challenging. Love it!!!
The workout experience ever. Love Orangetheory fitness
The best work out and hour of my day!!!
Coaches, staff, members, community, splats, calories...ALL OF IT!

Great coaches and Management!
