One day I decided to see what this Orangetheory Fitness was all about. I walked in and I was…read moregreeted by a lovely staff. Unfortunately I suck at remembering names. Anyway she had set me up to come back for a free class. The very next day I took a class with Coach Sarah. Oh boy was that class intense. I walked out there like WTH was that. Somehow I signed up with Makayla. Now I'm thinking Jatara why would you sign up you know you don't work out often. I went home and told me husband that I signed up for Orangetheory and he laughed. Six months later as I write this Review Orange Theory has truly changed my life. I love the fact the you can attend any Orangetheory in the world still brings music to my ears especially us Yelpers who are always traveling. I love the whole concept about splat points and staying in the Orange (hint that's why it's called Orange Theory) So basically you need to get 12 or more splat points by staying in the Orange zone, if you reached 12 or more points by the end of your 60 minute workout you will burn 20% of the calories you burn throughout the day. So that's Orangetheory in a nutshell. You are never in competition with anyone but yourself. At this particular location the staff and the coaches are awesome. I usually attend the 5:00 am class, the head Coach Melissa usually teaches that class or Danny. Melissa is awesome no matter where she is she can see what's going on and assist you if you are not doing it right which most of the time I'm not (that's why I'm there, much needed guidance). I know people complaint about the prices but I think it's worth every penny, you get the workout that you need and the attention of a coach to teach you how to do it correctly. Your basically paying for a personal training all in one. I love how this location is so personal it makes you feel like you are part of a family. I'm still quite and really don't speak much because I'm just not in a speaking mood at 5am. Well actually all the location make you feel like part of a family. I'm always at some other location, but this is my home gym and because of them I'm addicted to Orangetheory Fitness. At this location I took classes with Head Coach Melissa, Danny, Sarah and Emily. There are other location I have been to and I literally avoid going at certain times because of some coaches playlist yes playlist, you need good music to workout and these coaches here always have a good playlist, but for Stony Brook it doesn't matter who I sign up with or what time I go. I'm getting quality coaching from all and a great playlist. I like the fact that they keep is fun and challenging at the same time. They use IG that's Instagram ( which is new to me ) to keep us updated on all the events and other stuff happening for that month. They also have a app so you can book your classes in advance and see your progress as well. So bottom line, do I recommend OTF? Absolutely!!!!!!

So like a geek I was. I did the math. $300 for 10 weeks. 50 classes. 5 Days a week is 6.00 a day for 55 minutes. Which is very reasonable considering pilates classes or zumba classes are like 10-15 a class. After 10 weeks, I saw and felt results. Arms and legs wer more toned. Pants and shirts are too big for me. Starting around week 7, my pants were looser on me. It's a very non intimidating environment. There will always be newcomers and "repeaters" in class. The all female instructors are great motivators and will always show low and high impact moves. Members' fitness ability vary but there is no judgment here. We're all here for our own reasons. I was very comfortable in every session. Orientation: The Sunday before the first class, you will be weighed, measured, get your picture taken and do sit-ups and push-ups. Packets will be handed out about the program and some diet information that will aid in reaching your goals. I personally followed it 80% of the diet they suggested. Come on, I have yelp reviews to write about great places to eat. No one wants to hear about carrots and hummus. At this point, you will need to buy punching gloves. I suggest the ones they have on hand. $40.00. It has a lot of protection when you hit the bag. I looked online and sporting good stores but I liked the one they were offering. Reasonable prices. Week 1 First 10 minutes, I asked myself "Ah crap! what did I get myself into? Sucking air!!!! Face tingled. Week 2 Got sick from a cold. Ab work SUCKS!!!! Pulsing sucks. Toughed it out. Week 3 WTF?? Spiderman push-up?? I can't do that. Push-ups for me. 100 squats?? Crap!!! Still sick. Week 4 Situps are cool. But situp and punch, punch sucks. Push up sucks. Jumping roping is always fun. But another great week. Week 5 Sprained ankle. Missed the entire week. Going through withdrawal. For REAL!! This is the week they do a midpoint assessment. You will get weighed and measurements will be taken to see how you are progressing. The 5 weeks passed, you will see a difference. Week 6 and week 7 was a blur. It went by so fast. Intense stuff Week 8 The good stuff and killer workouts starts here. More cardio. Punch harder. Holding longer. Week 9 CARDIO is more intense with every session. Weights are asked to be a slight heavier than what we started at week 1 & 2. Arms are still burning from upper body workout. Cursing out instructors at this point. Week 10 If I am losing weight, it has to be from sweating too. There's a very very short recovery time. Heart rate is always higher than normal. I cringed when Karen called for 100 Crunches. I sigh when I heard 50 crunches and then another 50 at the end of the session. I come out feeling great and gross from sweating. Final evaluation is on the Sunday after the 10 weeks are over. The winner will win another 10 week session, which is awesome. I will miss the intense workout and the instructors. But if the timing was right, I will do it again in a heart beat.

Equipment isn't updated or replaced when broken and class times were often cut entirely.

I've also had the pleasure of taking lessons with Damiano and Nick who are amazing as well. For me it's more for physical activity not really for competing , but it sure is fun learning. I couldn't be happier with my experience here. I encourage you to check this place out.

I subsequently took lessons with a pro there, named Damiano. He is a true professional, who is devoted to his work, and also an excellent tennis instructor. Overall, the place is run quite well. The folks are very organized with scheduling and keeping appointments, and very flexible when you need to change an appointment. The new owner, Spencer, spent a small fortune refurbishing the facilities and its reflected in all aspects of the operation. Unfortunately, due to a new job, I could not proceed with joining a league which is a real bummer. But it's my hope to do so, somehow, in the future.

Would definitely come back but can't honestly see myself spending more than what you'd get with a typical (dare I say real?) gym membership since it's not an open-access style gym. At least for the classes I went to, it seems people come here for motivational speaking, emotional support, advice on how to start exercising at all (or after a long long break) and socializing. Don't get me wrong -- it's definitely as intense as you want it to be, and chances are strong you'll be in military shape if you stick to it, but it's not about weight-lifting or cardio equipment. If you're not sure whether you want to drop the cash, don't worry because they always have deals circulating somewhere (check their website or call if you're seriously interested).

Each trainer has a different style, but their energy is high and commitment to personal and achievable improvement is clearly evident. Hannah was the first personal trainer I met at the SB location -- I cannot say enough wonderful things about her -- I love her style, energy, and commitment to healthy living. We talk about many things health-related, including diet, nutrition, lifestyle, and the importance of self care. She encourages me at my most fatigued, and delivers great results. Kolja is another member of my training team, and his encouragement, patience, and enthusiasm peppered with lots of humor makes the routines enjoyable and achievable. His military service is inspirational and a great part of why he is so dedicated to carrying out all "missions" for his gym clients. Kyle is the third of my favorites at the SB location -- his friendliness, patience with clients of all abilities, enthusiasm, humor, and love for good country music to work out by are all a part of his unique style. He knows when to push and when to encourage in a creative individualized way. Even though all of my trainers are young enough to be my children, I respect their knowledge, enthusiasm, patience, concern, and most of all, their professionalism. I couldn't have asked for a better team to make me feel comfortable and to help me get into a healthier lifestyle. Love them!! Highly recommend them all!
