My fiancé and I have been doing personal/private training sessions with Gerardo for the past year+…read moreand it's the best decision we could have made. Can't recommend Gerardo and team enough. 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.

I have been training, on and off, for over 25 years but never used a personal trainer. 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!).

I'll give them this: It's an efficient workout. But damn, they sure make you feel like a cog in the…read morefitness-for-profit-not-wellness machine. Describing OTF as an impersonal exercise experience is an understatement. "Coach" is what they call the hour-long session facilitators which is pretty funny because they are just human stop watches who are programed to regurgitate platitudes about working hard and reaching goals to the blasting soundtrack of medlied synthesized remixes of synthesized remixes of occasionally recognizable pop radio tunes. There is one in particular at the Norwalk store (and it IS a store) who sounds like Lady Gaga as a state fair auctioneer. She is truly insufferable. There are a couple who let their humanity escape during the 3-minute stretching activity that wraps up each session. If you have even the hint of an injury, STAY AWAY. It is clear that the workouts are generated by corporate teams (I suspect they include more marketer and shrinks than fitness gurus) in some headquarter office. Lip service is paid to obvious modifications such as push-ups from your knees instead of toes, but the "coaches" simply do not have time to address anyone's individual needs. They often have three separate groups working on activities that are measured in increments of seconds. Each class accommodates 25 participants. There is no cushion between sessions. They run about a dozen classes per weekday. The full price is $30 per session but discounts for volume purchases and monthly subscriptions are available. I bought a package of 30 sessions on a whim, and it felt like a ball and chain until I used them up. No matter what you hear from OTF enthusiasts who distinguish themselves by driving around town with OTF car magnets, there is NOTHING fun about this workout. Expect to spend 20-30 minutes on a treadmill facing a wall, up to 20 minutes on a rower staring at the asses of the 12 people on treadmills, and the balance of your session (except for the aforementioned 3 minute "stretch") doing "floor work" which often involves dumbbells and no guidance other than an GIF on a computer monitor. Leave your headphones at home since "coaches" will be shouting time increments at you over the music throughout the entire workout. Oh. Right. The Orange part. You earn "splat" points when your heart rate exceeds 83%. This shows up in orange or red on the monitors that display each participants' heart rate monitor activity. Oh yeah, you have to buy a $99 OTF heart rate monitor to participate. No other brand will do. The goal is to earn at least 12 "splat" points during your 60 minute workout. But seriously, you don't need OTF to earn "splat" points. You can exercise anywhere with any old heart rate monitor and a phone app to produce the same (and much more pleasant) experience without the high price tag and the gimmicky name. Try to stay above the 83% range for 25% of a one-hour workout and you have a DIY OTF workout. Plus, you get to listen to your own music, revel in your own thoughts and maybe even spend a little time outdoors! As a person who is fascinated by the science of efficiency, I have to admit that I admire the organization. But don't be fooled for one second: Orange Theory Fitness was not designed to support fitness, it was designed to support Orange Theory. OTF participants, as the Phil Elliott character says in the end of the movie North Dallas Forty, are "the equipment." If that works for you, go for it. It felt super icky to me.

I guess I'm not that new anymore so I'll update my review with my experience over the last few…read moremonths. OTF in general is a great workout and I've had a good experience at the Norwalk location. I personally have an issue with getting bored with routine and repetition so that is where OTF has really helped me; no two workouts are the same and you never know what to expect on that day. The coaches in Norwalk are great and are very motivational/supportive. Though it is rather expensive, I do feel like it's been worth it for me.
