I always thought that I would just be one of those people who didnāt like going to the gym. After joining OTF WestSide, I realized that I was just apart of the wrong one. Iām not the fastest on the tread, the quickest in the rower, or the strongest on the floor, but I genuinely enjoy going. I have seen so many improvements. I could barely hold a plank or go more than 4.0 MPH on the tread. I still cannot hold a plank (not there faultā¦realizing I need to do more core work š ) but I can run 6.5 on the tread and I worked my way up to 25 pounds on the weight floor. It may seem small but the gains for me are HUGE!
Coach Cassie is a great head coach! She is a wonderful motivator. She cares about everyone in the studio, not as customers. But as people who are value their bodies and are looking for a community of people! She really fosters a great vibe inside and outside the gym! Lizzie HOLDS IT DOWN on the IG page and the art is very beautiful! She is always a joy to see at the desk :)
All the front desk peeps are so friendly and everyone who goes to class is also so nice. I have made so many friends at OTWestSide and I do hope you take the time to check us...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreVery bad experience at this OrangeTheory location. I am a member of the Darien location, and I was bringing my sister for the first time to OrangeTheory. We were coming straight from work and were arriving about 15 minutes before class. You are supposed to arrive 30 minutes before, but I brought my husband to another location and we didnāt arrive 30 minutes before then and it was fine. They had no flexibility at all and would not let her take class even though she had already filled out the paperwork and was familiar with the workout. A big turnoff for her where she has no interest in joining OrangeTheory anymore. Disappointing and I myself will not be attending class at that location as well. I understand following policy but certain circumstances should permit some flexibility. There was only one other person who had even arrived for class...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWhat to say! This studio is a true 10/10. The managers, the SAās and of course the coaches. I knew the day I signed as a founding member, in November, and still received borderline harassing calls from Jessica and Cassie until the studio opened in July, that this studio was for me. Their dedication to their members is unlike any other studio. All of the coaches are so attentive to each member. Shay motivates everyone each day with her reminders that āyou can do anything for 30 seconds and that we are all stronger than we think.ā Nothing makes a workout feel worth it than coming out of class, drenched and questioning your sanity, and seeing Lizzie, Mel and Valās smiling faces (while also knowing they are secretly not jealous of what you just endured). The work out is tough but the team makes you keep wanting to come back for...
