After 12 years of several gym memberships and spending thousands of dollars on personal training. I finally got to be part of orange theory where I finally found a workout place and style that fits my needs the best. Keeping in mind that a workouts place won’t be the best without having amazing coaches and staff . I felt encouraged to come to otf UTC daily and for the last 3 years . Shout out to coach Fidel for his huge support in helping making drastic changes to my health and fitness journey . And shout out to Carrie for great management and being on top of any issues with scheduling or. Equipment failures and keeping everything clean and organized I love OTFUTC and i am so proud to be a member there . Thank you otfutc family for all the love and support

So I began attending OTF classes in 2020 after my deployment. While deployed I suffered an injury (not combat related) which hindered my ability to walk, let alone run. By the time I got back to California, running was still difficult, but I needed to get back into running shape to keep my career going. Enter OTF UTC. The staff is beyond friendly, the coaches were consistent in holding me accountable and challenging myself, and the pandemic did not hinder their ability to function as a welcoming studio. I thought (ignorantly) that I knew everything I’d ever need to know about fitness and improving myself. I’m happy to say I was wrong. I happily attended classes for just under 2 years at UTC with a consistent staff and great membership. I’d encourage anyone to attend classes with UTC. If I still lived in the San Diego area, I’d keep attending. Alas my career has moved me 150 miles from the nearest OTF. If you wish to improve yourself, I highly encourage you to attend classes at OTF UTC. Special shout-out to Fidel and Chiara, two coaches who knew how to challenge me every class. I can’t thank you guys enough.

I’ve been going here since they first opened and this is the only gym that I’ve been consistent going to. The workouts are effective and never boring — the coaches are motivational and bring the best energy! Can’t say enough good things about OTF!!

Fidel is awesome, I always schedule my day to make sure I can get to one of his classes. I’ve dragged my feet in there after a long work day but you can’t help but be inspired by that guy. Great workout every time!

If you’ve already been doing Orangetheory and become pregnant, check with your doctor first. Our heart rate monitoring is a perfect way to keep an eye on your intensity as you progress through your pregnancy.
