I just moved back to NH after living in Los Angeles for 10+ years. Living in L.A. all those years,…read moreI have had all sorts of memberships: gyms, Crossfit, Pilates, Cardiobarre, Pop Physique, Spinning, etc. Seriously nothing has been as effective and easy to stick with as Orangetheory. It's ironic that it's -after- I leave body-conscious L.A. that I get to know such a great workout. I'm a single mom with a toddler who works full-time (40+ hours/week). My free time is very limited, so I need something focused. Initially I was going to join a local gym since I thought it more cost effective. Yes, there are gyms with cheap $10 or more per month memberships, but many of the reviews of those cheaper gyms comment about how equipment is frequently broken, bathrooms are dirty, and staff and customer service are uncaring. Also, even though I would run miles on the treadmills or spend a long time on the ellipticals and lift some weights, I wasn't really seeing results. Having a coach or trainer definitely helps, as do the heart rate monitors that OTF has so that you can track your progress during the classes. With Orangetheory no workout is ever the same, so you're never bored. Within just an hour you get a great workout. And there are all ranges of ages and athletic ability in the classes, so you're not dealing with just thin women and gym bros. Classes are relatively small, so for the price you pay you're practically getting a personalized trainer workout. Personal trainer sessions normally run $100+ per visit at most gyms, but you're paying that for a full month/8 classes at OTF, so it's a good deal when you think about it. I would rather pay my $99/month (8 classes/month) versus $10/month at the cheap places since the results have been great. I consider it an investment in myself and you get what you pay for with the cheaper gyms. I'm now down to my pre-pregnancy weight after just a few months. (Actually, a few pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight.) If $99/month is a little out of your price range, just cut that cost somewhere else and reinvest it here in yourself. And, perhaps your health insurance offers a partial gym membership reimbursement like mine does, so you get back some of the cost. And membership is billed monthly, so you don't have to get stuck in long complicated contracts. And the staff are great! Not the disinterested jaded staff that you find at most gyms. Just a great place all around.

In a world full of competition, living in the black and white of contract terms when a family is forced to relocate temporarily across the country, will create for short term income in the form of a "cancellation fee", but a long term loss in the form of a family who will never return. As a former customer who has influence in the fitness industry, I will shed light to these issues and advise others to not join due to lack of flexibility from leadership. The club is nice visually and the equipment is good, but relationships with customers is what creates loyalty, when there are 10 other gyms in town with equally nice equipment. The best customer service doesn't just please people. It makes the business stronger, smarter, and more sustainable.
