5 /5 Eva Wagoner: I’ve been coming to this Orange Theory for just over a month now and absolutely love it! I am new to Orange theory and have been trying various gyms through Wellhub but now only really come here. I love how motivating the classes are especially when it’s 5am and I don’t want to have to think through what I’m going to do on my own. I love the comraderie- the coaches and staff as well as all the members are super friendly. With OT there are benchmarks to measure where you are and how you’ve progressed, and you can compare all your classes and performance on the app. It was really fun participating in marathon month and during that time starting to get to know this community. My favorite coaches are Rachel and Matt- they both are really solid humans, great at pushing you as well as correcting form in a supportive way. If I’ve needed a modification for something (I am recovering from a surgery) they are both quick to give alternatives. I laugh every single time Rachel sneaks in a BSB song and then giggles and asks who is going to take her to Vegas. I seriously look forward to it every class.
I have been able to track my progress and push myself in ways I never have before, and am already seeing progress. I cried during one of the classes because I was able to run faster than I ever thought I could.
The gym also feels very inclusive. The bathrooms and showers are gender neutral- all private single use. It’s a place that I feel is quite LGBTQ welcoming.
I honestly love it here and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else… and I have wellness/gym access through my employer that allows me to workout nearly everywhere and anywhere. My only other favorite gym (Eastside Kettlebell Collective) is just too far of a drive from my home here in Couv and I am so happy to have found such a great community nearby
