Orange Theory Fitness



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
