Burbank OTF has been my home studio since 2019. In the past 4 years, I have attended nearly 750 classes at more than 15 different studios across different cities and states (your OTF membership allows members to attend classes at any studio in the world!). I have the Premier membership (unlimited classes) and typically take 3-5 classes weekly. OTF is my only gym and the Burbank studio is my favorite.
If you aren't familiar with an OTF workout, let me break it down for you:
On a single calendar day, the OTF workout at every studio across the world is identical
Every day there of the year is a different workout (some are repeated, but never on consecutive days)
Workouts can be in a 2G (two group format) or 3G (three group format) rotating between treadmills, floor/weights/strength, and rowers
Every workout is styled to provide heart rate based interval training through 5 zones (GRAY/resting, BLUE/easy, GREEN/challenging, ORANGE/uncomfortable, RED/all out). The goal is to spend 12 minutes or more with your heart rate elevated in “The Orange Zone” to boost your metabolism, burn fat and burn more calories.
With all of this said, one might anticipate that every OTF studio is the same. However, that wouldn't take into consideration the nuances of members, leadership of the studio manager, support and expertise of the coaches, friendliness of front desk staff and overall culture of each. I can say, without a doubt, that the Burbank studio is my favorite by a landslide. The front desk staff and studio manager know everyone by name and typically know everything from where we prefer to start our workout and favorite tread number.
Each and every coach similarly knows our names, how fast we walk/run, how hard we row, and unequivocally are an extended studio family. Every coach is meticulous with transition time between reps and blocks (which is important!) and they truly play the very best music.
Parking is always amply available in the adjacent lots and makes it easy to roll in...
   Read moreOrangetheory Burbank is one of my most favorite places. I've been a member of this studio since it opened in 2019 and it's literally become a second home to me (I think the only place I'm at more is my apartment!).
The community is great, the workouts are intense, the coaches are amazing, and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I constantly feel encouraged to work my hardest and be my best whenever I'm in the studio. If you're struggling with an exercise, the coaches are there to give you a modification or help you adjust your form. If you're crushing your pace on the treadmill, the coaches are there to cheer you on (and then tell you to up your base pace!). If you reach a PR, the front desk staff is there to clap for you. I adore everything about the people working at this studio and it shows through the dedication they all put into their work.
The Burbank studio is the place to go if you want to feel lifted, strong, and part of a bigger community. Classes are filled with an undeniable energy, whether there's 6 people or 26. I know I will always...
   Read moreI love this place! This is by far the best 60-minute, intense workout you can get! Orangetheory is one of the best parts of my life. I go 4x a week and I’m in the best physical shape I’ve ever been in. I feel strong, healthy, and fit. I love my Burbank location - the staff is a blast - the coaches are awesome - and I’m always lifted up by my workout buddies. This place has a good vibe. About Orangetheory in general — I love the fact that I don’t have to plan my own workout — I just show up to class and the coach takes us through everything. I also love that every studio in the world does the same workout on any given day — so the online community is always buzzing about “today’s workout” on Reddit or any one of several Facebook groups. I love that every day the workout changes - so I never get bored or tired of doing the same thing…. And …. Lastly — I love the benchmark challenges- cause they help me see that I’m making real progress in my fitness journey. I love...
