It's clean, well maintained, friendly, and has a really comfortable atmosphere. I honestly did not experience any of the negative things mentioned in some of the reviews and was actually surprised by them because I thought this place was fantastic. It's also incredibly affordable at around $29 a month, which honestly feels like a steal for how nice it is. Very happy I discovered this gym!

Additionally, please turn on the air conditioning. The gym becomes extremely hot and uncomfortable without proper cooling, especially while exercising. Lastly, customer service employees should be attentive and available to assist members rather than spending excessive time on their personal phones. Members should be able to expect a clean, comfortable facility and professional, attentive customer service.

Schedule constraints will force me to take a hiatus from the class for the summer, but I'll be back in the fall!

The trainers are AMAZING! They get down on the floor and show me moves (I am a Visual learner who needs to be shown 3 times before grasping a concept) & are always available for feedback and motivation. This is a family owned business that deserves every 5 star review this town can offer. They offer a free workout before you sign up. They have Yedi nicknames for everyone which is super cute. Mine is Wonder Woman. They keep score on a board and encourage you as you progress. If I skip a few days, I know I'll get a text from Mo (owner) to stop in. It's a mix of cardio and kickboxing for all age groups. They help me modify the workouts if anything gets too complex for me. They are caring, clean, fun & it's only a 30 min workout three times a day. They have so many resources included with the membership. Not to mention the entire community has your back from Day 1!

I do wish there were more beginner or introductory classes, though--this is the first studio where I didn't see any on the schedule, which was a bit surprising.

The class size is small (~12?) and the teachers are very motivating. All teachers equally assists students who need help and take the time out to learn your name. The classes are hard. I would first describe it as slow torture, lol. However, it is very effective. The class is 50 mins long and you don't even realize time is passing by. The room is kept dark/dim, the music is loud and the class is very fast-paced (active listening is a must!). I love this type of gym, but I understand it may not be for everyone. They have a lot of classes throughout the day which works well for my flexible work schedule and as a working mom. There is ample parking and the studio is clean. What are you waiting for? Me? I'm still afraid to commit to a monthly plan, but maybe one day.

Exercise Coach provides a unique type of exercise focused on muscle strengthening through slow concentrated motions. For me, it's perfect since my knees are quite terrible. Running is not an option. The trainers are patient and motivate you to achieve the maximum your body allows you to. There's absolutely no pressure through their training and after your 20 minute workout, your body feels like you've been at the gym for an hour.

My hesitation is with the staff. I'm not sure the trainers are all actually certified. I've worked the past few sessions with one trainer who truly does not know the answers to basic questions. My sister who is also a trainer was appalled to hear some of the responses I received to my questions. As a Groupon, it's definitely worth it, but I would never pay their normal prices. It is REALLY expensive and again, I'm concerned by the quality of the trainers. Fortunately, since the machines do most of the work, I don't feel I'm putting myself in harm with the uneducated trainer.

INITIAL REVIEW…read more OrangeTheory could be the urban oasis I've been looking for in the 'burbs. I've been desperate to get out of the house and start working out again. A couple of my friends actually drive upwards of an hour just to get to OrangeTheory in Evanston. So when I heard they were opening up in Bannockburn, I jumped on the chance. This site is currently in a pre-trial phase, so I get to see the bugs they're working out, etc. We early adopters get to try out the program for a couple of weeks and see what it's all about. It seems fitting they moved into the previous Sylvan location (which moved around the corner) after all of the afternoons I spent there all last year getting tutoring help for my kiddo. The idea of the program is a one-hour workout... 30 minutes cardio, 30 minutes strength training. I have to say... I am quickly reminded of just how out of shape I am. The good news is you can make the program work to your own personal level of fitness. There are "softer" men and women there as well as some serious hardbodies. Also, in the pre trial phase there doesn't seem to be any egos. You know... you go to the gym and see how much more in shape everyone is. With this program, you're really only focusing on yourself. Although, the person next to me RUNNING the whole half hour of cardio... yeah... couldn't ignore that. I, on the other hand, am a "power walker" and just fine with that. The room itself is dimly lit with huge orange orbs that give the room a cool vibe. They have a good stereo system going and seem to be picking great music so far. The headset today kept blowing on the instructor -- like I said, they're figuring out the kinks. I have a feeling when I do an official review it'll be fixed. The instructors are also new to OrangeTheory but not the kind of instructor who is just your next door neighbor who decides to go teach a class. They know what's going on but figuring out the timing of the class. Again, I don't expect these bumps to last. We are pioneering a new location after all. They are in a pretrial period through June 26 (I think) which means pretrial prices. Just a thought...

I have been a member for about a month now and just upgraded from the lowest membership to the…read moreelite membership, so I'm definitely enjoying it. The lowest package offered allows you 4 visits a month whereas the elite package allows 8 visits a month. After a month, I realized I would see results quicker by coming twice a week. This location is very small and only has one room, but that seems to be plenty for the clientele in the area. The classes I've attended are anywhere from 5-15 people. And the classes can literally fit into anyone's schedule. There are classes 7 days a week starting as early as 5:45am all the way to 7pm. This fitness style is really geared towards non athletic to semi athletic individuals who need guidance in a workout session. If you're already a hard core exerciser, then OTF really isn't necessary for you. I enjoy it so much because the coach offers that bit of accountability that I need to keep pushing myself. I love how everyone in attendance is participating in the same thing, so it is not a gym in any sense. These are purely studios to attend a class. It's super unintimidating because every body is different and you really cannot base your stats against someone else's. Overall, this studio is clean and offers all necessities. I've experienced very friendly staff as well!
