I can't say enough good things about Orangetheory Fitness. It has truly changed my life--not just…read morephysically, but mentally and emotionally as well. I've lost weight, my clothes fit better, and I've gained noticeable muscle. But the real magic? It's how I feel after every class. Energized. Empowered. Clear-headed. It's a gift I give myself every time I walk through those doors. I used to hate exercise. I never thought I'd be someone who looked forward to working out--but here I am, genuinely excited for every class. I've finally found my "thing," and that's saying a lot coming from someone who thought fitness just wasn't for them. A huge shoutout to Ralph, Frank, and Jasmine--they're my go-to coaches and each one brings something special to the table. Ralph's motivation, Frank's energy, and Jasmine's perfect balance of challenge and encouragement keep me coming back. And honestly, every coach at this studio is amazing. The entire team is supportive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your success. If you're on the fence about trying Orangetheory, do it. It's more than a workout--it's a community, a mindset shift, and a path to becoming your best self.

Orange Theory in Fairfield has stolen over $2,000 from us and will not correct the issue. In April…read moreof 2023 I went in for a trial day at Orange Theory Fairfield. Mo, the manager said that in order to do the trial day I had to sign a contract, but that I could cancel same day. I did cancel same day and they and I do have that on file. They continued to charge my American Express for a total 18 months and never turned it off. I called a month after the visit to ask them to refund the charges, they said they would but it would take 15-30 days. Every month after that I continued to call to remind them that the charges had not stopped and that we had not been refunded. November of 2024 I asked them to please escalate this as it had not been addressed or resolved. Mo, the manager said he was handling it through their finance department and again it would take some time. I went in to the location with my husband today and asked if we could have the name of the person who CAN fix this, as they are now saying "they have asked for it to be fixed, no one has fixed it, and that's all 'they' can do. The manager Ralph today, said he can't do any more to help us. Again we asked for the name of the person who CAN help us and he said "Rich." We asked for Rich's contact info an Ralph refused. We have stopped getting calls back from Mo or Ralph. Does anyone know who this "Rich" is? How do we get contact info for him? Or even someone at the operating company "Empire?" This has been an epic run around for us and we still have not been reimbursed. So far we have: 1. Contacted Mo (Manager) who has promised many times it would be refunded, he has stopped returning calls. 2. Contacted Ralph (Regional Director) in November, no call back. Went in today and spoke with him in person, he says he can't help. He said "someone" told him to stop helping, and now that he has been told to stop helping, he will, in fact, stop helping. He will not tell us who this "someone" is. 3. I have filed a complaint with the attorney generals office and left several messages. No response. 4. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, no response. 3/3/2025 I just confirmed with American Express that no attempts have been made on either of my cards. Mo at Orange theory keeps claiming that he is trying to issue a refund, but American Express confirms they have not tried. And they can't claim they don't have the correct credit card info, because they successfully charged the card for 18 months unauthorized. Per AmEx both cards I have given Orange theory are active and in good standing, no restrictions.

Not only is Gerardo a consummate professional and always prepared with varied workouts customized to us - he is also an amazing person who is there to listen and get to know you. He continuously invests in new state of the art equipment and keeps an impeccably clean space. We always look forward to our sessions with him and for anyone looking for a trainer for yourself or a family member please give Gerardo and team a chance.

For 2012…read more(yes, a New Year's resolution), I decided to bite the bullet and signed up with Gerardo for 10 weeks - two workouts a week. Well, I am well past my first 10 weeks with no end in sight. Gerardo has a unique talent for not only making workouts unique and interesting each time but he also knows how to inspire you to new heights of achievement. It's not just a workout but a new way of life --incorporating cardio, endurance, strength, power, and diet. I considered myself to be in "decent" shape but now, wow. I am back to hitting the treadmill at 10-year ago speed levels, playing basketball injury free, and even getting a good night's sleep. One more thing, my corporate schedule is brutal. Gerardo and I work out at 6am to fit my schedule. He always shows up with a big smile --ready to push me to the next level. I am enjoying the ride. It is absolutely worth every penny (but you better add in the cost of getting your clothes tailored too!).

This is the fitness studio that I've been searching for and I am so happy to have finally found it. You'll get a killer workout from motivating, talented, knowledgeable trainers who will push you to places that you didn't even know existed. What I love the most about JoyX is that there's no hemming or hawing- the classes are straight forward, designed to kick your butt and get you in and out in 50 minutes. The amenities are amazing! There's a beautiful lobby with cubbies for you to place your belongings. If you're not comfortable doing that there are lockers with locks for you to store your valuables. There's also a beautiful bathroom with showers, towels, razors, shaving cream, soap, lotion, q-tips, baby wipes and a blow dryer! They make it so easy for time crunched, busy individuals to get their workout in without having to worry about anything. If you're thinking about signing up for a class-- do it! This is one of the best places to go if you're serious about fitness in a healthy, motivating, encouraging atmosphere :) All of the instructors are amazing but I highly recommend Ashley, Amber, Mo, Tony and Armond!

I came across a few "bigger" gyms in the area (that, years ago, I was a member of) but when I contacted them, I just knew they wouldn't work for what I needed/wanted. I emailed Crossfit Expressions and they quickly got back to me with clear answers to my questions and a "no problem" kind of attitude. Since joining in March, I have been quickly welcomed into their community. It's a small gym with an awesome atmosphere -- people know each other, talk to each other, support one another and the class sizes are small. The programming is thoughtful, easily scaled to your level -- and without a doubt, every time, gets you an great workout. As a military family, we've had the good fortune of being a part of many Crossfit gyms. The coaching here by Carole, John & Jordan is the best I've experienced. They take their time with you - give specific instruction - and really motivate you. I've had 2 kids since starting Crossfit. They met me where I was, helping me scale and set attainable goals for the time I'm here. There was no judgement - just quality coaching and programming. If you've never done Crossfit or are just starting, this place and these people are the way to go. I have never, so quickly, felt like "part of the team" and in our lifestyle where I am constantly the "new person" I appreciate that more than they know. I'll be back whenever we are in town!

Emm is a truly passionate, dedicated person and cares about each and every person that walks into her studio. I can say this from personal experience as I have watched her over the past 3 years guide so many people to a healthier, happier life. Not only that, she constantly hosts charity events, special runs, and works with the Norwalk Hospital Foundation and Cancer Society, etc. to help raise money and awareness. I highly disagree with her moves being hard to follow, and in any case, she ALWAYS offers for people to stay after class to be helped as well as slowing down DURING class and counting out steps and INSTRUCTING the new choreography before even starting the new songs. That being said, everyone has their own style, you may not fit well with a certain person's zumba style, and may totally groove with another person. Everyone has a right to their opinions, BUT remember, your workout is what YOU make of it. Even in some fitness classes that I personally did not love myself, you can always get a good sweat in if you push yourself. You don't have to love every class you take, and thats ok! I'm just happy to be part of such a caring and genuine community of people at Studio M, at the end of the day that's what matters most. Thank you Emm for showing us that! Zumba has become such a phenomenon and has shown us all how a little bit of dancing can help the world become a happier place. Let's all stop being so negative and seeing the good that truly lies within us. **Zumba Love** :)

Now, there are other instructors there who are absolutely wonderful...Naomi, Jimmy, Stephanie to name a few. They rock. Totally rock. But stay away from Emm's classes if you go. There are other Zumba fitness studios in town, and well worth visiting before heading to Studio M.
