The coaches genuinely care and guide you with real, personalized attention...correcting form, encouraging progress (thanks Elana for today!) and keeping the energy high. It's not just the playlists!

I came across a few "bigger" gyms in the area (that, years ago, I was a member of) but when I contacted them, I just knew they wouldn't work for what I needed/wanted. I emailed Crossfit Expressions and they quickly got back to me with clear answers to my questions and a "no problem" kind of attitude. Since joining in March, I have been quickly welcomed into their community. It's a small gym with an awesome atmosphere -- people know each other, talk to each other, support one another and the class sizes are small. The programming is thoughtful, easily scaled to your level -- and without a doubt, every time, gets you an great workout. As a military family, we've had the good fortune of being a part of many Crossfit gyms. The coaching here by Carole, John & Jordan is the best I've experienced. They take their time with you - give specific instruction - and really motivate you. I've had 2 kids since starting Crossfit. They met me where I was, helping me scale and set attainable goals for the time I'm here. There was no judgement - just quality coaching and programming. If you've never done Crossfit or are just starting, this place and these people are the way to go. I have never, so quickly, felt like "part of the team" and in our lifestyle where I am constantly the "new person" I appreciate that more than they know. I'll be back whenever we are in town!

For the record. I HATE working out. It's not that I mind breaking a sweat doing something I enjoy,…read morelike dancing at a wedding or eating a really spicy burrito. I have just never gotten a lot of satisfaction from exercise for the sake of exercise. But I don't hate working out at OTF. In fact, there are several things I really like about it. 1) I like wearing the heart rate monitor. And since I am so out of shape I practically hit my target heart rate just pressing the start button on the treadmill, having my stats visible helps me to maximize my workout. 2) I like that I get a thorough work out (weights and cardio) in one hour. I could never do that in a regular gym on my own. 3) I like that they have classes offered at many different times. There seems to be something for everyone's schedule. 4) I like that you have to sign up for your class ahead of time, but need to cancel at least 8 hours in advance. That way if my alarm goes off and I think, "Mmmaybe not this morning." Too bad, so sad, get your butt moving. 5) I like that after each class, they email you your stats for the day, along with the cumulated stats for the week, month and year. It is like getting a gold star in your inbox! 6) I like - okay, I love - that in one month of working out there, I can already see and feel a change in my body. So even though I really don't like working out, there are fleeting moments during my day when I think, "Yay! I have an OTF class tomorrow."

I can't say enough good things about Orangetheory Fitness. It has truly changed my life--not just…read morephysically, but mentally and emotionally as well. I've lost weight, my clothes fit better, and I've gained noticeable muscle. But the real magic? It's how I feel after every class. Energized. Empowered. Clear-headed. It's a gift I give myself every time I walk through those doors. I used to hate exercise. I never thought I'd be someone who looked forward to working out--but here I am, genuinely excited for every class. I've finally found my "thing," and that's saying a lot coming from someone who thought fitness just wasn't for them. A huge shoutout to Ralph, Frank, and Jasmine--they're my go-to coaches and each one brings something special to the table. Ralph's motivation, Frank's energy, and Jasmine's perfect balance of challenge and encouragement keep me coming back. And honestly, every coach at this studio is amazing. The entire team is supportive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your success. If you're on the fence about trying Orangetheory, do it. It's more than a workout--it's a community, a mindset shift, and a path to becoming your best self.

While visiting my parents for the weekend, I made it my priority to get in a least one yoga class…read morewith my mother. Tucked away in the basement of a building on Greenwich Ave, I was hoping this was a hidden gem. Ugh. Full-on disappointment. My mother and I arrived 30 minutes before class since we did not know what to expect or if it would be crowded. About 15 minutes before class, a woman came down the stairs. Not knowing if she was the owner, or another classmate, we asked her if we were in the right place for class. A terse "yes" was all she managed, before unlocking the door and walking right past us. Clearly, we were new to the studio. But the owner/instructor never asked our names, our experience level or familiarity with Bikram, or did anything to make us feel comfortable and welcome. After she breezed by us and into the studio, we waited outside before poking our heads in, afraid to enter before she was ready. Tack on the OUTRAGEOUS $22 per class fee, and I was less than thrilled before class started and she began barking commands, military-style. Her 10-pack class "discount" is insulting. You save a whopping .50 cents per class. Maybe it's just me, but carpet floors in Bikram/sweaty classes gross me out. How often could you possibly clean it? It was one of the stinkiest rooms I have ever been in, and I frequent a range of sweaty classes. In the entryway, there is a notice posted which asks students to refrain from gossip (as it's often unfounded and unproductive) and criticizing the classroom temperature and instructor. I found this last bit curious before class, and outright hilarious after class. It's as if she's telling you to refrain from unleashing the "smack talk" you undoubtedly have bottled up inside. At the end of the day, this is a business. And it seems the owner has either forgotten or doesn't care that a goal of a successful business is to acquire new clients and encourage their continued patronage. Frosty demeanor + stinky/unsanitary classroom + militaristic teaching style + lack of music/ambiance +outrageous price = NOT WORTH IT. Maybe I've been living in Texas too long, but the lack of any kind of social graces is a deal-breaker.

On top of having an even balance of gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, no gi, and striking classes, they've recently added judo and fitness classes. The overall environment is very chill and welcoming to everyone. It's definitely not a roided out tap out bro gym. Also, unlike some gyms I've attended, there's no prejudice against other BJJ lineages. Cross training with other BJJ gyms is welcomed and encouraged, as are visiting BJJ practitioners from anywhere. Since signing up three years ago, I've never had any billing or payment issues. I'm suspicious of reviewers who say they have. I've attended and paid for a number of martial arts and fitness type gyms and the policies at Soulcraft are the same ones you'll find at most other well run gyms. In my experience, they've actually been very reasonable. When an injury forced me to stop training for a month, I explained my situation and was not charged for a month.
