Ive been working out at Orange Shoe for nearly 4 years, and have experience working out at similar establishments and larger gyms. What sets Orange Shoe apart from other places Ive worked out is the highly qualified staff and the client-centric approach. The staff is qualified, friendly, helpful, and consistent (there isnt a ton of turnover like you see some places). I am able to have a personal training routine that fits with MY schedule because the trainers will share clients. This is great because my schedule can be pretty crazy, and being at freedom to reschedule based on overall avails (not just one persons) is helpful. Orange Shoe also gives back to the community and is truly a great neighbor in Andersonville.

I joined the Andersonville Orange Shoe studio nearly a year ago and it was one of the best fitness decisions Ive made. All of the trainers are creative, smart, knowledgeable, and know how to push us — in a positive and encouraging way — toward crushing our goals. Plus, throughout the pandemic, Ted (the owner) and the trainers have pivoted in so many ways to help us feel safe and to keep our workouts going without missing a beat. If youre looking for an amazing gym — that really feels like a fitness family — check out The Shoe!

I have been member for 4 years and every time I train with them is a unique experience. I have done both personal and group training and in both I have been encouraged and pushed to the limits of my endurance. The trainers always strive to make you do your personal best in a positive way. The atmosphere is great no matter what your level of experience is. Trainers are friendly and fun to workout with and at the top of their game.

My wife and I have been members for over a year and it has kept both of us consistent. Ive appreciated how quickly theyve adjusted to the pandemic: virtual/outdoor classes, improved cleaning procedures, and regular updates to members. The trainers and community make being a member fun and challenging and are a big part of why Ive stayed involved in maintaining my health goals.To note, the gym is oriented around classes and personal training. It isnt an open workout space like many other gyms in the area.

I’ve been going to classes & personal training for over a year and Orange Shoe is the best! All the trainers know you by name and it really does feel personal. They always modify for every level - to make it easier or harder. You never feel pushed too hard, just enough to see what more you can do.

Orange Shoe in a nutshell: When I went for my initial consult over a year ago, I let the trainers know I’m a Type I diabetic. By the time I returned for my first group class, they had stocked candy behind the front desk in case I ever needed it!This is truly personalized training with a community feel. The trainers push you hard, but they’re excellent at tailoring the experience for each person’s needs and fitness level (even within the same class).And they’ve been nimble when it comes to pandemic restrictions. I’ve been doing mainly Zoom group classes since the spring, and they’re as challenging as ever.I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!

I joined Orange Shoe Andersonville about a year ago. I love their group fitness classes and I cant imagine working out anywhere else. They have engaging classes, supportive and creative trainers, and a challenging yet no pressure approach to fitness that keeps me motivated. I am especially grateful for their live virtual classes during the pandemic.

Orange Shoe Andersonville is my go to workout spot. The trainers are committed to your success and will push you beyond what you imagined you could do. They have come up with creative ways to continue workouts and classes safely during the pandemic. The support of all the staff and other clients is great because it is a small studio, not a big box. Do yourself and your body a favor and sign up with The Shoe today.

I have been training at Orange Shoe in Andersonville for a few years now and the reason I keep going is simple, my goals are the ones that matter to them. I have done things I never thought Id be able to do because the trainers worked diligently with me to keep my focus, form, and motivation levels high.If youre looking for a nonjudgmental and fun gym experience, Orange Shoe in Andersonville is the place to go!

I’ve always found the gym to be an intimidating place, but all of the trainers and fellow clients at Orange Shoe are so welcoming and encouraging. The trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, and definitely push me to do my best. Between the semi-personal fitness classes and the nutrition consult, Orange Shoe has helped me be more aware and positive about my whole body wellness.

Amazing trainers that have helped me regain my strength and self confidence. Great solutions for injury limitations and support. Facility is exceptionally clean and well maintained.

Fantastic little local gym with a great sense of community and the best trainers in the game!

This gym is a not only a great local small business but the staff and team really want you to reach your fitness goals and it shows.

Love orange shoe! Ive been going for the past 8 months and I see and feel the difference. Im a new mom and wanted to get back in shape. Rich, Pablo, and Paul eased me into things and tailored my workouts. Now at 8 months, Im stronger and they have no mercy :) The trainers are knowledgeable and invested, and I get a lot out of my 25min training. I love the clientele too - local neighbors who are all on their fitness journeys. Its fun to see my regular gym buddies, and see the great progress theyre making.

I cant recommend this place enough. I worked out with Rich and Pablo during my time at Orange Shoe and they were both encouraging while pushing me way beyond what I would accomplish myself. While they were the only two I trained with, I knew all the trainers, as they are extremely friendly and encouraging of those they are not even directly training. I look forward to seeing these guys again during trips back to Chicago.

Weve been seeing Orange Shoe trainers since before the studio opened in 2016 and our lives are changed for the better because of the team there. The classes are fun and challenging and the trainers create a welcoming, positive, and create a non-judgmental environment.

******************************************UPDATE: Its been over a year and Im STILL going to the gym. This is a huge life change for me and I know there is no way Id still be going if my only option was lugging myself to a large, more impersonal gym. If you are on the fence about giving this a try because you think itll just be like everywhere else youve ever gone, just go give it a shot because I promise you it is not!******************************************If you hate gyms but want to go to the gym this is your place. Because its mostly small classes or personal training sessions there really isnt that much of an opportunity for the common micro aggressions women and bigger people get when at other larger gyms. The personal training sessions are worth the money because they are short, to the point, and take into account any limitations you might have. I dont have to think about what Im doing for my work out, I just have to show up. If more gyms were like Orange Shoe youd have more people working out. Its just a better style gym.

Fun, friendly outgoing staff that personalizes each work out to their clients needs. Perfect for people looking for motivation and guidance with their work outs in a safe effective way! Highly recommend!

Love the atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly and knows your name from Day 1. You can tell the trainers have your specific goals in mind every day.

I just had my initial consult and it was great. They really evaluate you and set up a plan best for your body and goals. Couldnt be more impressed.

Awesome trainers, positive vibe, they get me motivated in the mornings. Im stronger every time I leave and I feel great!

Workers are incredibly nice, its never too crowded, has the essential fitness equipment, classes are fun and teachers are extremely educated and passionate--an enjoyable experience!
