Orangetheory Fitness is a relatively new fitness gym that's spreading like orange wild fire. It…read morestarted in Florida and soon spread all over the US. All the gyms have an instructor. They guide you through a 1 hour workout session. It keeps you busy because they constantly change the exercise you're doing. So if you have ADHD or get bored easily, this is a great gym to try. They are called Orangetheory because of their theory of being in the orange zone. It's supposed to be backed by science, according to their web site. What is the orange zone? The orange zone is where your heart rate is at an optimal level. You're working hard, but not killing yourself Basically, it's circuit training combined with interval training. If you maintain your heart rate in the orange zone for a certain period of time, you burn a good amount of calories. Also, your metabolism is revved up all day. So you'll be burning more calories after your workout. That's their theory anyway. And they say they're backed by science! But who knows? It could be pure snake oil. Their web site was lacking in information. But I'm guessing it's based off of HIIT: high intensity interval training. When you join in, you sign your standard forms. They need some basic vitals information from you like your weight. Then they give you a heart monitor to monitor your heart rate during the workout. They have a screen with your name on it to show what zone you're in. You want to be in the green to orange zone most of the time. If you're in the blue zone, you're not working hard enough. If you're in the red zone, you're working too hard. It's a good way to monitor your effort. They have 2 sections during the workout, with each lasting about 30 minutes. They have a strength training section, which has some dumbbells and other stuff. It's supposed to work your muscles with various calisthenics and weights. Then they have the cardio section. It has a rowing machine and a treadmill. Every 6 or so minutes, you switch exercises. So they try to give you a good variety of workouts. Everything is orange inside, keeping the orange theme of its name. It made me want to eat a tangerine. Since it is an instructor based workout, the fees are on the high side. You're not gonna pay $40/month. It's more like $20/session. If you want to go 3x week, it can add up quick. They do have an unlimited package for around $150+/month. If you have money and fat to burn, this is a good place to do it. The staff at the Smyrna location was nice and helpful. Everything looked clean and new, since it just opened. They have private showers too. Yeah, you get a whole shower room by yourself. That is pretty cool. I went as a guest and enjoyed my workout. The instructor was upbeat and energetic. They play some loud music to pump you up and keep you energized. I got a pretty good workout. And I must have been burning a lot of calories that day since I was hungry all the time after the workout. If you want to get in shape, but get bored doing the same thing over and over, try Orangetheory fitness. Since the Smyrna location is new, it's popular. It's hard to get a spot. Even their early morning classes fill up fast. So if you want to try it, try booking early. And remember to bring lots of water and a towel. You're gonna need it.

Kudos to this location for being the only one open in metro ATL right after our first snow day!…read more This location is not lacking any equipment- so it felt a little crowded. I found it hard to obtain a location to use the mat- not enough floor space to stretch or warm up. MANY treadmills & ellipticals for cardio. The Spa area feels a bit isolated and hidden, I was not comfortable back there alone but I did use the total body enhancer to warm up. The staff was very helpful with guiding me to the right locations as it was my first time at the location.

Starting the new year, I told myself I would get out of my comfort zone and try new things…read more Instagram must have been reading my mind when I was targeted for a "Free Intro Class" to my local Pure Barre. From there, I was able to simply sign up via the add. Later, I was conveniently contacted by an automated text system that kindly reminded me of my reservations. Day of, I made it right before the start of class so, I unfortunately missed the tour of the studio. I quickly signed my waivers and jumped in right at the nick of time! The studio was small but very neat. First Impressions: A neatly arranged front entryway with branded gear and waters for sale, along with the front desk to your left. Behind the wall was their only studio. It's a pretty good size for such small parameters at the Vinings Jubilee. I'm unsure If I was the only newcomer, but everyone seemed a bit more familiar with the routine. The instructor positions herself at the front of the room facing the mirrors. Everyone else is evenly spaced at their own spot at a bar along the 4 walls, and I was in the middle at a stand alone bar. The class was moderately tough. Some parts were a bit more challenging than others, but all of that depends on your skill level. I truly believe any level individual could come and take this class and walk away with a good burn. Some areas of criticism: - I was never introduced to the instructor or welcomed to the class, but this could of been due to me being right on time. It would have been nice to have felt noticed and welcomed. - The instructor could have been more attentive during the workout in order to help make adjustment to posture/ positioning during the routine. There was a few times I felt unsure of I was doing, or if I was even doing the correct movement! As I would look around, I noticed everyone was doing some variation of what she was doing. I would prefer more instruction. While working hard time seems to move so slow! The class included the use of a small ball, 2 hand weights ( which you can change out according to your strength level), and a loop resistance band. We did some pretty cool exercises! Definitely creative stuff Post class, the receptionist and the instructor spoke with me shortly about the different classes they offer and some membership options. Although I opted not to sign up, I did get in a good workout.

Every instructor is kind, approachable and super helpful. I am so thankful I have finally found a workout that I love and an environment that keeps me coming back for more. I have been an athlete my whole life and my body at 33 has never looked better than it does now. I love that I can get in and out in an hour and be done for the day. No intimidating gym equipment necessary. I cannot say enough good things about Pure Barre and the Vinings location specifically. The energy level is high and keeps you constantly motivated to do your best. Maggie and her team are the best!

They directed me to their website to cancel, which I did. I didn't think much of it until I received an email in August telling me that I would be eligible for cancellation in September, which was not true. It wasn't long before I discovered I was locked into a "subscription trap." They kept withdrawing money from my account for three months, totaling $450.00! This made me really frustrated and upset. I ended up having to reach out to my bank and cancel my card. I thought X3 Sports would be more helpful and clear about cancellations. I warn others to be careful if they think about joining X3 Sports because getting out of this "subscription trap" is very difficult.

I felt welcomed as soon as I came in. I loved how clean the facilities were and the amenities. The gym has a solid women's team and the competition training is top notch.

Overall it was a good experience and the class is run by an amazing coral belt which I have never seen before so that's amazing to see!
