Honestly the best gym classes I’ve ever been to. Julia is an excellent coach. Excited to keep coming here now that I’ll be living and working in the area.
The Back Bay location is really clean and staff are friendly. Also super convenient via public transit. I typically dont like workout classes, but this seems to work for me. In particular, I like that the workout has structure (even time on treadmill, rowing and weights), but what you do at each station changes every class, so its not boring or repetitive.
I really want to give OTF 5 stars. It’s an amazing studio with incredible coaches (shout out to Emma!), super personable front desk staff, and a great variety of HIIT classes daily. My big issues is with the strict cancellation policy- it is especially unfair to women who experience difficult monthly periods that are unpredictable and unpreventable. There should be a “one class per month” exception to this policy. I completely understand you can’t have people canceling whenever they “feel” like it - that’s not good for the student or the studio and coaches, But it does feel extremely inhuman to tell someone “sorry to hear that you’re not well- you’re still gonna be charged $14 dollars ON TOP of the $210 you spend here monthly- them the rules!” Come on….be decent.I’m also really disappointed this studio did away with the Lift Class. Weight training is probably THE most important aspect of fitness, especially for women, and this was turning into my favorite class of the week. It was sad to see it completely nixed. It made no sense really- my Weds 10am class was full and I’d never seen so many happy, smiling faces. Please bring it back, market it, talk it up- they will come!With all that said, OTF has changed my life! I’m stronger, healthier and more confident at 44 than I’ve ever been in my life! My husband and I are both huge fans and I would encourage anyone, of any fitness level, to give it at least a year and see how it changes your body and mind!
Love love LOVE OTF Back Bay. Some of the most kind, helpful people I’ve ever encountered. I’ve never had a bad class but Coach Emma is the BEST. She is so motivational and her energy keeps the whole class pushing for the full 60 min!
I lost 16 covid lbs in 3 weeks going 3 times a week. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Its challenging, fun and Ive never been in better shape! I love the instructors at OTF, their energy and enthusiasm is contagious. I also have been impressed by their extensive knowledge and skill, with the coaches you get the same level of expertise and personalized attention as a personal trainer, but you also get the benefit of working out in a group. I also love that the workouts vary each day and you never get the same exact routine twice, keeps it fresh!
Simon Says fitness, $150 a month to run on a treadmill and have someone tell you how fast. 3 stars for the apparent successful results. More of a cult than a gym though - good luck!
Great location and very accommodating while I was traveling in the Boston area. I really appreciated that there were a bunch of extra showers for changing as well as having towels available for the members. The SAs were also super friendly!
This was a stellar experience!! I was new to Abbys class and she was awesome. Great technical coach who mixed in her personality and humor during the class! Alissa worked out with us, which was really cool. And then we stayed for a lecture with Coach Jim. Everyone at the studio was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. The space was clean and the equipment was great. Thanks for all you do!Sam and Lauren
This place is awesome! Very convenient location and clean facilities! Trainers are great and make sure you have a fantastic workout!
OTF Back Bay is an amazing and welcoming community. This is my home studio and I have never felt more at home with any group of people. The studio staff are insanely helpful and nice, and the coaches are ALL top notch!You really cant go wrong.
Olivia helped me transfer my membership and offers the best customer service. Instructors are great and make the class fun. I now go 5 days a week whereas before it was two. Olivia should definitely be promoted for how far out of the way she goes to help clients!
Orangetheory Back Bay is a must try workout! Not only are the workouts top of the line and always pushing to make you that much stronger and faster, but the staff is amazing! Jordan is an amazing manager, the front desk staff always has a smile on their faces when you walk in and the coaches are always motivating and encouraging. The first class is free to so reason not to give it a shot! Enjoy your workout!
Super friendly members! There are people of all ages and experience here so it is not an intimidating environment. Simply amazing!!
OTF Back Bay is my home studio and a great location. The staff and coaches are always very friendly and motivating during the workouts. I also love how many of the coach provide individual feedback during workouts to help improve form on the weight floor and the rower. Especially Abby whos helped me improve my form on the weight floor to get the most out of my workout. Highly recommend!
I had the most wonderful experience at OTF Back Bay! I was new to Orangetheory and also only in town for a few months, but the office staff were extremely understanding, informative, and flexible - thank you! I was able to take classes with Jay, Jim, and Abby, all of whom were excellent. The music is always fantastic and the workouts are tough, but even being new to Orangetheory, the coaches made everything clear (and fun at the same time!) Thank you all - Ive fallen in love with Orangetheory because of how awesome the experience at Back Bay was.
OTF is THE BEST workout and the Back Bay location is my favorite. It is clean, and the staff is super helpful and friendly. The instructors are amazing. Youll be sore for days!! Love this place.
Awesome high energy full body strength and cardio workout!
Love this place. The workout is awesome and totally worth it! Jordan is also an amazing manager. Place is people focused and truly the best value ever.
OTF is the absolute best place to get a fulfilling one hour workout in. The classes are fun and dont get boring or monotonous. The coaches are fantastic and motivational and always keep the classes safe. The front desk staff is super sweet and always helpful.
If you are looking for super clean studio in Back Bay- this is it!!! Plus coaches are absolutely fantastic
Not a terrible workout-you will leave sweating. Had some difficulty reaching out initially but since then the staff has been very nice! Definitely give it a try, your first class is free:)
Orangetheory Fitness is fantastic! Amazing workout with friendly and engaging coaches. Price is in line with other boutique fitness studios. Much much better environment and workout than Barrys Bootcamp, in my opinion. I love how you can monitor your heart-rate and exertion level throughout the class. Im so happy OTF opened in my neighborhood!
OTF is without a doubt motivation at its best. The reason: coaches, punctuality, music playlists, themes of the classes, clean facilities, good energy, great atmosphere overall. These coaches are almost like having personal trainer 1:1This is the first time Ive been going to a gym four times per week. Never in my over 30 years did that in any other gym.
Solid sweat with good group dynamic that pushes me. Would go back.
I absolutely love this place. Also, I have never seen such a friendly staff before.
Abby and Jay were great! Fantastic experience.
Instructors are great! They are nice, motivating, and push everyone to their individual bests, even they are working with a large group!
The best workout Ive had! Experience lives up to the advertisement!
The worst management. Daughter signed up for free trial never used due to mother getting cancer. They started charging monthly called to cancel never used once .Left weeks of call for a management person to return call to see about getting a refund never happened after 3 months got her that day working and said only owner could decide and to email her to sent to himNever a responseThe worst.......
I adore going to Orange Theory backbay, the awesome coaches, and the hard workouts.
Pushes you harder than you can push yourself and instructors are so supportive.
Awful experience, absolutely no parking, was frantically trying to get into class after paying $30 for a parking place, just to have the blonde headed trainer tell me if I was more than 5 minutes late to class again she would kick me out - I’m sorry but you already pay an overage charge for this location and it was absolute terrible experience. I would absolutely recommend anyone in Boston to go to any other studio such as Cambridge, Brighton, or even Burlington over Backbay. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had at an OTF facility and I travel across the country for work - easily visited over 40 studios. The woman should be fired. You do not talk to your team that way.
Enjoyed the workouts very much
Expensive, no locker rooms, high cancellation fees. That’s right, if you’re stuck at work and can’t make it in time, they charge $14 every time. If you can’t commit well in advance, then classes fill up. Kind of a catch-22. I had to cancel with two weeks left on the contract.. then sure enough two weeks later I got nailed with another $219 and they refused to credit it back to me even though I cancelled weeks prior. Poor business practice
Love it. Literally breath taking!
Really nice staff and great workout!
Great interval training!
Excellent location, super clean
Ok
Great
