The front staff are really great at what they do, and are so friendly. The coaches there are amazing, all well trained and highly knowledgeable in their field. The interview and training process for coaches is extensive to say the least! This ensures that you get the best of the best in the industry. The workout is a lot of fun, and has so much variety. The equipment is all top notch and they use the latest in heart rate technology to assist you and getting a true HIIT workout. I really like how loud the music is and what a fun atmosphere members and staff have cultivated together. The first workout is free, so come see us!

My two biggest issues were the schedule, I was only able to make once maybe twice a week because most of the classes are after 9am or in the evenings. I attended the 8:15 classes, but those were only offered on Monday and Friday in gig harbor. I saw that Tacoma location had several 6:15 classes but every time I asked I was told those wouldn't happen in gig harbor. Right after I stopped going I saw they canceled the 8:15 classes also, so I'm glad I'd already made the switch. My second issue was constantly pushing reviews and bringing in new members. Imo recruitment is this job, not mine. And the best reviews are written by folks who truly loved (or hated) an experience, not by being bribed to do so. It felt like their main purpose wasn't as much helping their students but trying to keep their business going. Again, imo the opposite method works better for long term business success.

Pros: friendly snd encouraging staff, modify things for new people, excellent full body work out Cons: high pressure sales pitch, and it's too expensive and not a flexible membership. $125/month and sign up for a year. If they had a punch card or a month to month - it would be much more doable. But if you aren't working out 3x a week every month. It's just too expensive for what you're getting. If you weren't committing to a year up front - it would be better. If they had a 10 punch card option- that would be helpful- but I also don't want to pay for 100 punches at once. They need more flexible membership types.

Along the way, I need to stop due to personal reasons but continued to pay the monthly fees because that is what is signed up for. I went to class for 2 months only. I had just paid the last $145 for my agreement and when I called member solutions (their billing company) to cancel they said I still owed money for another month and I should contact my local studio to resolve. The response I received was: Thank you for reaching out to me here. I can see where the confusion is. Your TOTAL membership cost for the 12 month was $1740. You paid $145 of that in studio. The remaining $1595 as you see on the billing agreement is what you owed to the billing company. Your final payment of $145 on July 3rd will fulfill the $1595 owed to Member Solutions. This was never said or made clear when I signed up. The only contract I signed was one for $1595 and not for $1740. I feel like I got scammed. I know that I was scammed. If this is a policy they should make it clear and give you a copy of that. I have recommended ILK to a few friends; one did the Federal Way class. In the end, i am sickened by throwing this money away, but more so the scam. Stay clear

I love the fact that if you do their workouts regularly, it *will* improve your health.

And the coaches watch your form while you're doing weightlifting and are there to correct you or make suggestions. It's the best of group fitness and personal training wrapped in one workout -- with motivating statistics and uplifting energy to help make you give your best every workout. I love working out under the orange lights -- hope to see you there soon!

I came here on the day of the One Mile Benchmark, while visiting Tacoma, and state of WA, for the…read morefirst time. Coach was Sam. Studio and folks were meh. I did pretty good. I got a mile readout at 4:57, technically 5:00 if splitting hairs. The treads only go up to 12 mph, so I'd maxed out and then added 1.5-2% incline on top. Anyway, 'nuff said. After this gym class, I jogged a 5K roughly back to my AirBnB. But that's a story for another day. I've been going to OrangeTheory (OT) for about a year now, so I know what I'm doing. Which indirectly means that I know what I'm doing in this review of an OT studio. I guess the real question is, do I really know how to end this review. The answer is, no. I went to OT Tacoma one day while on vacation, and I got a pretty respectable mile time. Then I jogged a not altogether easy 5K back afterwards. I'm visiting from the Northern Virginia area. So, yeah. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I have little to no idea what I'm rambling on about. But anyway, this studio was pretty dope.

In particular, I really enjoy Coach Marcus. I show up at 5 AM and he is raring to go... When I start, I'm always uncertain if I'm going to make it through my 60 min work out, but by the time I'm done, I am pumped but tired and really glad that I came. In addition to celebrating just showing up, Marcus has also celebrated my sobriety with me... When he sees me, he asked me "how many days?" and at first I thought he was talking about my workouts, but then I realized he remembered that I had gotten sober and he was Checking in with me for encouragement. This is not just a gym... It's a little bit of family. They all want to see you succeed. It's not the least expensive option, in fact it's not even close to it... But it's worth every penny. I will certainly keep coming as long as it's in my budget.

Have you ever joined a gym and didn't see results? Orangetheory Fitness is NOT that! If you are…read morelooking for a physical transformation with personal coaches pushing you, and you enjoy workout-classes, this is it! I started with OrangeTheory Fitness (OTF) Tacoma, before the University Place branch studio opened, and my husband joined UP OTF as a new grand-opening-member. We used to go to the 5am classes together until Covid shut everything down. UP OTF kept calling me on the phone to rejoin, and after many bad-habits (overeating, drinking, late-night snacking, lack of exercise, binge-watching and sedentary-habits) formed and I was embarrassed of my weight-gain, I rejoined OTF UP last May. The thing I love about Orangetheory is, you really don't need to think: just show up! The coaches take over and when you leave, you'll be a sweaty mess! I can never get THAT good of a workout (burning 500 calories) on my own at a gym in under an hour (50 mins) in comparison. So, I've been showing-up, and guess what happened? My inner-athlete came out! My old-college-athlete, buried deep within my now post-50-year-old body, came out. My desire to improve and change took over. It was buried DEEP within me, under those layers of extra 35 pounds I'd gained post-COVID, plus another 20 pounds post college, but it became awakened! Orangetheory Fitness says, if you show up with the desire to change, you will burn 500 calories every class! I also joined Noom, an app on my phone to track and teach me about my dietary habits, as I knew I wanted to improve my nutrition habits. The combination of eating healthy + OTF, in the past 9 months I've successfully lost 37 pounds! And I'm stronger and healthier! I love the coaches encouragement and the music, at OTF. What they do is research evidence-based, so they will call you out by your name! They will push you to use heavier weights or run harder and faster. I needed that! I needed the push from people who care to help get me across my finish line of personal goals. I wasn't able to lose the weight on my own: I'd tried for years! I didn't stop exercising during Covid, but walking my dog isn't the same as being told to lift heavy weights. And when was the last time I'd chosen to run hard on a treadmill at another gym? I never chose the treadmill! And I would never get on a rower for 20 minutes! But at OTF I do! It's that herd-mentality of if the entire group is doing it, I will too! And at OTF I do what I'm told, and I love the results!
