Has anyone here heard about Orange Theory Fitness? There is one opening up near me, and I am interested in joining. I am 5 week’s post op and feeling great. I’ve been doing cardio and have no pain or any discomfort and want to kick my exercise up. I’ve been looking for a PT for when I hit 3 months PO, but they are sooooo expensive. $80+ per session. I only planned to meet with them once per week, but it’s just too much.

So i heard about OTF and wanted to see if anyone on here is a member by chance?

I’m not a member but they have an Orange Theory fitness gym close by where I live. One of my friends went and really enjoyed it.

If you read the reviews just be careful as it is a business and it does seem a few people have had bad experiences as far as billing concerns and being charged for extra things.

They have a free workout you can go to before you commit to anything. I’d like to try it once I’m I need a bit better shape myself.

I’ll definitely try the free class when the location opens. I agree about the billing stuff. I have yet to find a gym that doesn’t have that! I work next to a Boston sports club and it had the same issue. What is it with gums and refusing to cancel memberships!

That’s how gyms make their $$. They get in you and you’re stuck in a contract. This is why I won’t do gyms that have a contract. There are so many new fitness places that are popping up. But they are so expensive. If i remember correctly, OTF (near me anyhow) was about $160 per month for unlimited classes. Something I was not willing to spend.

Kay— where is one opening?

I am going to join title 1 I think

There is one opening in Leominster near me. Pretty out of the way for you, but there is one in back bay I think? One in Cambridge and Brighton too that may be closer to you. I also like how you can use your membership at any location, so I can use the Brighton/Waltham one if I decide to go after work

I got to OTF and really like it. Great combination of cardio/body weight/weights. But it’s definitely a hard work out, so not something for those still recovering. I’d probably weight 8 weeks post op before starting.
