Orangetheory Fitness Carlyle

Fantastic workout, I’ve done it for almost 3 years with great results in my running and lifting abilities. This is around the 40th OTF studio I’ve worked out in, and I am happy to have OTF Carlyle a block from my apt and to call it home for the foreseeable future. Coach Liz and Coach Corey are wonderful instructors, and the ladies that work the reception area always greet you with a smile and a kind word. I highly recommend beginning your fitness journey here!

I’ve been going to OTF for 5 years now and I really like this location- the instructors are great as is the staff…. After 5 years I am still being challenged with each class!!! No joke-it’s amazing how strong my heart rate is and I love the endurance classes- they are so helpful in keeping healthy!

They aren't as repetitive day to day like some other types of programs. I like the enthusiasm that the coaches bring in addition to the encouragement they give. I also like how they challenge you to lift heavier or increase your incline or tread speed. Coach Cory and Coach Liz are awesome as well as the front desk staff. Everyone is friendly and encouraging!

OTF has been an amazing community, great workouts and the best coaches that keeps us motivated

I’ve been with Orange Theory for a little over a year now and I love the staff and the workouts! The staff are always willing to help and one in particular staff member is Ali! She’s always prompt and understanding when it comes to my questions or concerns. She’s a really good asset to the Carlyle Orange Theory location.

This OTF location is fantastic. I’ve been going to OTF for five years and have been to at least 10 studios. This is one of the best. Pros: -Studio layout is spread out so there is plenty of room. -Two doors to enter the workout space means you aren’t cramped or bumping into people when entering or exiting class. -Staff is super friendly after two visits the head coach had learned my name. -Coaches are enthusiastic and cheering people on throughout class I’ve taken classes from three coaches so far and all have been like this. -the coaches are paying attention and offering corrections throughout class, not just glorified stopwatches calling out times. -Head coach Liz is accessible and ready to answer questions or go the extra mile to make sure class is outstanding! Cons: - I haven’t found any yet. This studio is well run and definitely worth a visit.

I originally signed up to get started working out and when you sign up they are very nice and they also mislead you. I was told this gym has no commitment and I can just "end my membership whenever I want". I wasn't told I would have to pay an extra month for no reason and its expensive. I am required to pay around $120. As you know the contracts are always long, but I did read through it and I did not see anything about having to pay an extra month to cancel. In addition, the lady at the desk did not even offer to rank down my membership level for the last month--which is supposedly and option that can be done at any time---and would save me $70 at least. I worked out here for 3 months or so. I liked the music and the instructions were generally easy to follow. But for some reason they decided to start making the classes "more challenging" and every class was "more challenging". Basically what that means is that now over half the class is just squats. Its one of those exercises that if you keep repeating the wrong way you are going to injure your knees... I'm not in shape to do squats for half an hour straight, so I guess the class is not for me. In addition to that, they claim the have free parking and its really just two parking spots in the corner of some garage--clearly not for an entire class. So parking on the street adds another $2-$3 per class to the already exorbitant costs and penalties. If you forget the heart rate monitor that you have to buy for $120 from them, then if you borrow their heart rate monitor they charge you $10. When I first signed up I was also told that if I have to change a class within the same day then I am allowed the courtesy to do that, all I would have to do is call in. Well, I did and they did not honor their promise. I also stopped going because of smell. This is not a cramped space, but you are closer to people than you usually would be since covid. Some of the people who come to this class smell ba-a-a-dly. It is loud and nauseating. I am not sensitive to smells and I hardly notice them, so it was bad. But what is worse is that sometimes an instructor shows up that didn't bother using a toothbrush in the morning. They get zero stars in my book because lying and being dishonest and misleading people is no way to run a business. And the girl at the front desk could have at least offered to step down my membership for the last month but taking $ is more important...

I'm a huge fan of OTF Carlyle - the effective training methodology, the coaches, the esprit de corps . . . just show up, give it your all, and you WILL see results! It is so worth your time! OTF is the best way to start my day!

The coaches are fantastic. Easy to follow. I have some restrictions and the coaches are very helpful. Great atmosphere and the workout is very good.
