I have been an SOSer for 5 years now. Which makes it shocking that I'm just now getting around to…read morewriting review, especially since I'm such a mega-fan! I first heard about SOS from a few folks when I worked at L Brands. They had a few loyal customers with whom I worked. To be honest, I was a little intimidated when I'd see these folks post about their workouts on social media. I had thought about trying it circa 2017, but was too intimidated (my loss!). But in 2019, I ended up with a stress fracture while marathon training. I was able to barely finish my training for the NYC Marathon, which I did successfully complete in November 2019. But at that point, it was evident that I couldn't just keep running marathons without incorporating strength training into my routine. So in Christmas Week 2019, I started with the 7 class starter pack just to try it out. My first class was The Course with Kelsey. I felt comfortable because I knew Kelsey from work and luckily a few other co-workers happened to be in the class as well. I still remember during the warm up, I was thinking "dang this is tough!" And Kelsey even said "Much different than running a marathon, right Chelsea?!" She couldn't have been more spot on! I ended up feeling like the class was super tough but I was paired up with a coworker who was so supportive and kind (thank you, Shideh, if you're reading this!). By the time my 7 class pass was up, I was hooked and became a monthly member. I even joined Team Tread (their half & full marathon training program) in January to start training for the Nashville Half in April 2020. Unfortunately for me, my SOS morning routines were abruptly halted in March 2020. But luckily, my team tread registration got me into the "digital studio" which I had no idea what it was at the time. I very quickly uncovered that it's all the same studio instructors and they have recorded classes with new uploads almost daily as well as a huge library of online classes (which as you can imagine has only grown in the past 5 years). I did what everyone else was doing and immediately ordered as many dumbbells, resistance bands, and other equipment to build up a "home SOS studio" and my equipment has been growing ever since. I moved to Arizona in summer 2021, and have continued to be a dedicated Digital Studio user and advocate. Whenever I come home to Ohio (whether Cbus or Cincy), I get giddy at the thought of going to classes in person and it's a treat to choose which classes I'll take and with which instructors. I got married in June 2024 and I purchased the "Badass Bride" classes on the Digital Studio. As I was taking them and leaving comments the owner, Gretchen, messaged me and said she wanted to send me an SOS wedding gift. You'd never believe how touched I was to see a SOS tank, hoodie, sweat towel and t-shirt show up the week of my wedding. I'm still so honored by these thoughtful gifts. Someone I've never even met in person (which is hard to believe given how obsessed I am with SOS lol!) went out of their way to make my wedding week all the more special. I can honestly say SOS Digital Studio has helped me get in the best shape of my life. I feel like I personally know all of the trainers (I don't have social media anymore, but when I did, I followed all of them, so again, felt like I kew them personally). When I was in Hawaii for my wedding, SO many people were asking me about my arms and complimenting me. I kept trying to tell them about the DS and how special SOS is. I will always be a dedicated and loyal fan. It's become such a part of my routine that I'm on Christas Break now with my husband in Kansas (where he's from) and I've brought my ankle weights, light weights and loop bands just so I can get some classes in. Thank you, Gretchen and team for helping me be the best version of myself every day! Can't imagine what I'd do without the DS and my SOS training crew! (Only word of advice to newbies- the System DOES work! Don't skip out on any classes. As you can imagine, being a marathon runner, I favored all of the cardio classes. But it wasn't until I really started incorporating High & Tight as I prepared for my wedding that I noticed the chiseled arms that I'd always wanted. It's a well-rounded program that works wonders as long as you incorporate ALL of the classes).

Tried out SOS for the first time at a high and tight class. The instructor was upbeat and the space…read moreis really nice! It was my first time there but I got no introduction to the studio or space and didn't feel very welcomed. The class itself was ok - it's under infrared so I got a decent sweat but I'm not sure the workout itself was as hard as my sweat would lead you to believe (no second day soreness). The instructor said it was a old class layout they tried to revamp so I'd be willing to give it another shot but the overall format/moves felt like they were trying to do too much and less cohesive. Four stars mostly based on reputation alone as I've heard great things from others and think it may have been a one off experience.

I heard about Orangetheory Fitness when they first opened but the price just got to me at first. Then I went for my first class with Hannah B and was enticed afterwards. I was actually seeing results from my workout. Some of these other gyms I went to, the trainer shows up late then gives you half the time for your workout without concentrating on what your goals are. Here at Orangetheory Fitness the trainers are very dedicated to helping everyone reach their goals, in a comfortable and safe environment to workout. They will even adjust your workout if you have any injuries, etc going on, which I love because some of the other gyms didn't do that for me, which wound me up with an injury. The goal at Orangetheory is to be in the green, orange and red zones for at least 12 minutes. Coach Dee Dee is great at making sure you get there! She even has a killer playlist every time I come for her classes! What I love about this gym compared to the others is I get a variety of workouts. Such as weights, treadmill, and rowers. My other gym it was treadmill or nothing. I need variety to get my muscles going and heart rate up. Speaking of heart rate, if you wear the heart rate monitor it will track your progress on the TV screens throughout the class! How cool is that? We didn't have that at my other gyms! So what are you waiting for? Try Orangetheory Fitness today to see those calorie burning results!

The drop in fee is $28 which is reasonable and there are class packages, as well as memberships.

I definitely recommend if you are struggling with motivation and looking to try something new!

They make sure to stop and correct you or to repeat the combos when needed. I specifically love going to Aaron's classes since they tend to be more leg heavy.

The trainers make sure to push you but they are also able to make accommodations when needed. I really love coming here, the community is great, the music is great, and I feel so accomplished after I finish the class. If you are looking at trying this gym, you definitely should!

I was drawn to this place because my previous employer partnered with them to get us discounted memberships so it was a great price to sign up! I don't think a regular membership costs too much, I'd say around $20. For an additional fee they also have a cute kids play area too watch your kids while you work out - they watch kids who are 6 months and up. I haven't yet used their day care service, but I was told I could try it free once or twice since my 14 month old has never been watched by anyone except her parents and grandparents; so we're not sure how she'll react yet by being watched by strangers... so I think that's pretty nice of them to offer this as a free service once or twice to get her acclimated. Occasionally they have member get togethers at the gym for prizes like shirts, free month of gym, etc. To me, this place has what I need, there's no tanning beds, pools or spin classes, but they've got your workout machines, free weights, ellipticals, treadmills. For an additional charge you can get a personal trainer, and they also offer classes like yoga and Zumba. They recently updated the gym a couple years ago, and updated their cleaning supplies to wet wipes to clean the machines instead of spray bottles and paper towels. Their staff is always on hand and friendly as well.

I've developed such a relationship with them that we have started cracking jokes with them. I have used their gym and they have plenty of equipments from weight lifting to cardio for you to use. I mainly take their fitness classes that are offered. I have taken Zumba, Hip Hop, Anything Goes, Bootcamp, and Hard Core. My favorite is Hip Hop, but I have enjoyed all of them!! You will get an amazing workout regardless. The employees have such a family feel to them. Everyone is always laughing and talking with one another. They typically post recipes for healthy meals and based on the season and/or holiday. A must try gym!!
