I'm visiting from Nebraska so I decide to go to a studio while I was in Pittsburgh. First of all, the girl at the front desk has no idea what forms she should give you to fill out. Second, I was waitlisted so I was calling to see if she recommended me to show up. I don't live here so I have to pay for lyft/uber to get around. She never answered the phone, I called 12 times to be specific and between 1pm and 4pm which are the times that no classes are being held. Third, when I got there and asked about the waitlisted group, she was rude and ignore me because she was gossiping with someone. Finally, I got into class but she put me on a broken treadmill and I had to use the strider which I don't like because I love running. Clearly, this person needs to be trained properly and also be on top of what equipments are working or not at the studio. It seems like she doesn't care about her job and has zero customer service experience. I have visited several studios and this is the first time I have this terrible experience.

I leave every OrangeTheory workout feeling like it was an hour well-spent. Each class is a fantastic mix of cardio and strength work, often at the same time. As a long-time runner, the treadmill section challenges me to push myself in ways that I can't or don't when I go for runs outside. I never really enjoyed time on a treadmill before, but at OrangeTheory, it's always motivating. Furthermore, all of the instructors are knowledgeable and uplifting. Thanks, OrangeTheory Pittsburgh!

I unfortunately have to give a negative review despite enjoying the classes here. I had a knee injury in April so I called to see if I could put a "freeze" on my membership, which the employee said would not be a problem. They told me there would be a $15 charge for freezing my membership but I can call back to re-activate it. I called back in June to do so and was speaking with the manager, by coincidence. The manager told me that she did not see any freeze on my membership and that the employee must not have left a note properly on my account for the freeze. She informed me that I was charged for May and June. I asked her if she can refund me since the mistake was made by the employee and she said there was nothing she can do since there was no proof to show to the owner. I of course was very upset to hear that I was charged an amount of $318 without stepping foot in a class due to my injury. She saw that I had not attended a class since mid April but stated there was nothing she could do. I asked for an immediate cancellation and she said I would be charged another $159 for my upcoming month of membership. It was very upsetting that they did not try to make it right in any way for the mistake made by the employee and did not show sympathy other than saying "this is the worst part of my job."

In from Kansas City for a Thanksgiving visit, and I'm a relative newbie...first time ever to visit a different studio away from home. The gorgeous and upbeat Cindy made me feel very welcome, walked me through modifications on the weight floor, and ran a very professional and motivating class. For other folks thinking about trying an out of town studio, if the studio you're visiting has a pro like Cindy, you'll be glad you took the plunge to try an out of town workout!

There are several public parking lots within a few blocks. You must pay for parking, but I've never had trouble finding a spot.
