Orangetheory Fitness - Glendale (CA)

5 /5 Rachael Horwith: Orange theory Glendale has become my absolute favorite way to work out. The coaches are top notch and truly keep you accountable all while still allowing you to move and grow at your own pace. I love coming to class after a long day of work where I just want to shut off my brain and not think about what work out I need to do, how many reps or what machines are available. OTF does that for me and I just have to follow along. It is amazing to unplug and unwind and get my daily movement in. Coach Michael, DJ and Joe have amazing attitudes are always positive and not to mention the best play lists (especially those early 2000s throw back days!) I have fallen in love with working out all over again thanks to OTG Glendale. Recommended to quite a few friends already.

5 /5 Rubina Petrosyan: Working out at Orange Theory has become THE BEST PART of my day. It is located in the heart of Glendale, they offer convenient parking spaces with validation. Booking and communicating with the staff is effortless, as they are prompt in responding to texts and calls. The studio is clean, and they have towels in the shower area. Theyve got two kinds of classes: the 2G, where you do 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of lifting, and a 45-minute all-out lifting session. But what really rocks are the coaches. The OTF coaches are truly exceptional. Their professionalism and support stands out. They not only demonstrate the exercises for the entire class but also assist anyone who is having difficulty, questions, or needs alternatives for certain reasons. Another major plus is that each coach has a unique playlist that matches the pace of the workout. Shoutout to Alex B, DJ, and Michael for making my workouts effective and motivational.

5 /5 Lesly Ortiz: Love my OTF gym! Started a little over a year ago. Coaches are great, friendly and super helpful in giving workout tips and alternatives as well as advice for eating habits. Overall gym community is really nice and casual. They even do social events every so often. If you are looking for a gym worth a stop in for a free trial class.

5 /5 Armen: I’ve been an Orangetheory member for nearly three years, joining after a long hiatus from working out. It’s the longest I’ve committed to any program, so suffice to say I enjoy it. Here’s what I’ve learned since I joined: -If you’re new or coming back after a break, you shed weight fast and it’s noticeable. -Classes are never boring. Even after years, I’m still being introduced to new exercises. -The heart rate monitor sets Orangetheory apart. The monitor logs all your data to track progress over time while doing little work on your end. Their data is more user friendly than data I get from my Apple Watch and pivotal to challenging my workouts. -They’ve added more strength-based training classes, which has added more variety to their classes and kept me motivated to stay. Because it’s slower paced, I’m constantly adjusting weights based on the exercise for gradual improvements and it’s been pretty effective to gaining muscle, pushing myself, and exercising in correct form. I’ve visited other Orangetheory studios, but Glendale stands out because the coaches here have been pretty stable and consistent since I joined. You build relationships with them, and they get to know you pretty well too. Some thoughts on the coaches: • Coach Michael: There’s almost too much good to say about Michael. He’s the head coach, and his passion for coaching is self-evident. He excels at demonstrating exercises, sharing fitness knowledge, offering modifications, and keeping things realistic. He’s patient, creative, and always finds ways to make classes fun (there’s usually a music theme in his playlist). He also plays music methodically for an extra boost, which pushes me to work harder. Watching his flexibility during demos is pretty unreal—he makes challenging exercises look effortless. People travel to this studio just to train with Michael because he’s that incredible. • Coach Alex: Alex’s energy is infectious. She’s endlessly positive and motivational, and somehow, after her classes, I’m always sore (in a good way). She pushes you to make small adjustments that lead to big improvements. • Coach DJ: If you want to witness someone effortlessly demo heavy weights like they’re lifting cotton candy, check out DJ. His arms defy gravity. • Coach Joe: Joe is all about stretching and calisthenics. He introduces unique stretches and explains why each movement matters, which I really appreciate. • Coach Eric: I haven’t had many chances to work with Eric since his classes are in the mornings, but the few times I’ve gone, he’s played the best music and brought the chillest, relaxed vibe to the class. Overall, I’ve made great progress in my fitness, despite not having any specific goals when I joined. I just wanted to get active, but I’ve ended up investing way more in my health and fitness than I ever planned to.
