Becoming a member 4 1/2 years ago was the best decision I've made for my health and fitness journey. Having been a member at other gyms previously, I struggled with staying focused during my workouts and would waste so much time picking the right song or figuring out what to do or wondering if my form was correct. I would lose motivation to even want to go until I checked out a class at Orange Theory Fitness Woodridge. A few classes later, I was hooked. I am so happy I chose OTF because I absolutely love the accountability. Staff & coaches are amazing. Members are the friendliest - I have made so many friendships over the years and truly consider them like a second family. The studio is always super clean. The workouts can be challenging but in the best way possible. You will be amazed at what you're able to accomplish.
Memberships don't have a price tag when you find something that really works. Having 60 minutes of uninterrupted time focused on working out with no phones and coaches truly focused on your form and encouraging you to get out of your comfort zone is rewarding within itself.
A large part of why I stayed a loyal member at Woodridge are the exceptional coaches. They genuinely care about you, have a wealth of knowledge, and are always willing to go above and beyond to modify workouts and work with any injuries to help you hit your goals. I love all the coaches here, but big shoutout to Coach Rudy! I'm thankful to have him as a coach and friend. He helped me through some of the toughest times, and I really don't know how I would have gotten through an injury late last year without him. Coaches like Rudy are one of a kind and are a large part of what keeps the members coming back.
If you are on the fence about trying out a class, just do it - the only regret you will have is not signing up sooner. Woodridge will become a second home and you'll really understand the meaning...
Read moreI joined after my one year anniversary of doing Bariatric surgery. I lost 105 lbs in that one year and wanted to start exercising to continue my weight loss journey and at the same time build my muscle to fill in all that saggy skin. I love group workouts and having a coach to instruct and push me, so I thought of giving OTF a try and it’s now 5 months later. In the 5 months that I’ve been a member, my energy has increased, my body shape is changing, and I am getting stronger. I keep getting compliments from my friends and family about how much healthier I look now.
The coaches (Rudy, Heidi, Alyssa, and Lacey) are so energetic and upbeat that they make me want to push myself, especially when I feel that I’m done and tapped out. I love the encouragement and direction that I get from them. They are so positive and make me feel that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. The coaches are quick to offer alternatives for me and do a great job of monitoring the floor workouts to give people feedback on form and pacing.
I also love the combination of strength and cardio workouts. I find myself getting stronger and my body shape is changing as a result. Besides the coaching and the workouts, I love the atmosphere, the music, and the community that make OTF Woodridge such an...
Read moreMy favorite orange theory location! Always clean, bathrooms are always clean and stocked up. Front desk people are always kind to me whenever I forget my heart monitor (I’m sorry I always forget my heart monitor!) I feel comfortable and welcomed at this gym everyday. Alyssa and Heidi are usually my coaches and they are wonderful. Alyssa is very clear with her directions, teaches me the proper ways to exercise and is very motivational. Heidi is very helpful with modifying and teaching new exercises and she’s very kind. The classes are fun and totally worth the price. Personally, I can’t just go to a gym and work out, I need the coaches teaching me what to do and at a good pace. I honestly can’t believe how much my strength, mental health, and mobility improved after coming here, Thanks Woodridge location! It’s going to be 1 year for me here in June, and it’s my longest consecutive time going to a gym...
