    So, here I am, almost six weeks here at Orangetheory Granger and many of my misconceptions have…read morebeen shattered. The fallacies I had were as follows: 1. Orangetheory is for elitists, the fit of the fit. Listen, I often refer to my body as an "elevator" body. I wouldn't walk up or down a flight of stairs if the building were on fire. I would rather stand anxiously at the elevator door for a good seven minutes to go up one flight. Don't judge me! So, what I expected to see was a bunch of extremely fit people, in their Lululemon coordinated outfits, who would look at me in disgust as I try to join their club. I was certain I would feel like I was in high school again with the popular clique looking at me with distain in their eyes. With a slow, deep breath, and a long exhale, I entered. I was greeted by Katie, trainer extraordinaire. She walked me through the program and what to expect and now it was time for the rest of the class to join and they were amazing. There were people of all shapes and sizes. I soon found the only person judging me was me. I learned very quickly that with the heartrate monitor you are only competing with yourself. No one gave the perception that I didn't belong there, in fact, it was quite the opposite. 2. Orangetheory is expensive. Well, frankly, it is compared to other "gyms" it is, however, this is no gym folks. I have had a Planet Fitness membership for three years and they haven't seen me in two so I suppose the most expensive membership is the one you don't use, kinda like the treadmill that now serves as decoration in my basement. I have only been going for six weeks but for these six weeks I have gone five days a week. At five days a week I am paying approximately $9/class, not so expensive when you break it down, right? It is also important to understand the value the trainers bring. They correct your form and push you, it feels like you have a personal trainer and I am certain personal training is far more than $9/hour. They want you to succeed and attain your goals, these trainers really care and relish in your success. 3. Orangetheory is a gimmick. I mean, seriously, heartrate monitors. Come on, just one more way to charge me for something. And yet here I am, six weeks later, and all my measurements have changed and, happily, for the better. It is harder for me to get in the orange and my resting heartrate is lower so maybe there is something to this science. I am not looking to be a fitness model, rather, I just want to feel good in my skin and Orangetheory Granger is helping. I still have cellulite on my thighs and batwings but for the first time in years I will wear a tank top and shorts. The confidence I have gained is unprecedented and I cannot wait to see what another six weeks brings. On a side note, my seventeen-year-old daughter joined shortly after I did. She plays high school lacrosse and is fit yet she is sore after every workout. My husband is now a member as well and he really enjoys it. I would like my son to come but as with many fifteen-year-old boys, I have lost him to Fortnite.

    At first I loved coming here two years ago before it became really popular in the area. But the…read moreproblem now with this location is that there's so many people. I feel like I have to book classes a week in advance and then cancel last minute because something comes up. The class times really are not conducive to people who work 8-5's--which is so frustrating. Each time I go the class is completely full. It's obnoxious working out w someone less than a foot away from you. When you're rotating from weights to the rowers and back you're never really sure if you're sitting in a puddle of sanitizer (which I imagine isn't great for you) or a puddle of someone else's butt sweat (which I imagine is even worse for you). There's so many people that there's not enough time for the sanitizer to dry between rotations. I watch my heart rate go up on the rower not cause my workout is so great but because I'm uncomfortable about the fact I'm sitting on sanitizer. I talk with friends who live in different cities where class sizes aren't completely full. And they have a completely different experience. If their station is 5 on the treadmill, it's also 5 for the weights and rower and they're the only one using that station the entire duration of the class. If you don't get to the class super early, the treadmills are all taken. And I find I get the best workout when I start with the treadmill. It makes me so sad that I had to cancel my membership. I used to feel so refreshed and energized after workouts. (I question if I ever even really worked out before an orange theory class) but recently I've just been overwhelmingly annoyed. Adding fuel to my fire, I purchased a heart rate monitor and it's never once worked properly. I kept holding on to my membership to try and recover my $100 or whatever I spent but it's just really not worth it.

    Great gym! I don't work out often and I wouldn't call myself athletic (see my food reviews), but I…read morelove this place! I get a full body workout in 45 minutes in a group setting with the help of a trainer and tv monitors! It's clean, organized, judgement free and fun! So, I search Facebook events regularly for new *free* activities. One day, 2 summers ago, I came across an event for the F45 Grand Rapids grand opening. I'd never heard of this F45 thing before so I did some googling and found out that it's a workout concept originating from Australia and this would be the first franchise opening within a 3 hours' drive from us. My sisters and I decided to check it out and that Saturday morning, we got to the strip on 28th street where Michaels craft store used to be. The building was just being set up with mats, tv monitors and equipment - basic floor, walls and ceiling. We ran through several stations outdoors using free weights, ropes and yoga mats. Throughout the whole workout, trainers were encouraging us with, 'Nice work!', high fives and occasionally helping us modify lifts to target the correct muscle group. It was so much fun and by the end, I made up my mind to sign up for the 2 weeks of free, unlimited classes! Since that summer, I've been going to classes randomly with my friend Nicole who goes daily. They have a 20 class pass for $300. It's steep compared to gyms that offer memberships, but I have more of an incentive to actually attend these group workouts than I do if I were to hit the gym alone. Now that the place is established, they offer multiple classes from 530a-7p, 2 clean bathrooms, cubbies to stash your coats/keys, security cameras, and a welcoming environment. I've found that the Saturday morning classes fit my schedule the best and they offer 3 classes before 11am! It's such a great way to start my weekend and gives me time to recover before the work week begins again. I'm always sore after but it's a great feeling of accomplishment after I complete 2 rounds of 27 stations of heart pounding and sweat dripping workouts! Thanks Holly, Sam, Rusty and Ashley - you guys are awesome!

    I'm visiting Grand Rapids for the night and walked over to f45 from my hotel. Rusty was very…read morewelcoming, helpful, and encouraging! The class was challenging but super enjoyable. I'm sad I don't live here or id purchase a membership right now!
