Most of the staff and coaches in this location were nice and helpful. We especially liked Coach Jordan for her chill vibe. Her workouts were efficient where you would challenge yourself, she explained things clearly, and responded with patience on the rare occasions questions came up (since the fast-paced format doesn’t leave much room for that).

Unfortunately, our experience with the head coach was the opposite. She often came across as condescending and impatient. When questions were asked, she sometimes repeated them into the mic in a way that felt like ridicule. She once basically scolded me for apparently placing a med ball on the wrong rack. Her tone noticeably shifted depending on who was in the class—especially when her group of friends were present.

The workouts are effective, but the atmosphere she created made the experience feel more stressful than motivating. That’s not what self-care should feel like.

I’ve been with Orangetheory for a long time, took some time off, and rejoined last year—and honestly, I don't think I could live without it now, especially without Heidi! She’s incredible, and the entire staff at Orangetheory New Haven truly rocks.

It’s more than just a workout studio—it feels like a second home. I've hit plenty of plateaus in my wellness journey, but the team here always keeps me on track, motivated, and supported. The members are just as amazing—welcoming, encouraging, and they push you to be your best right alongside the coaches.

If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel both challenged and cared for, this is it.

Been to OTF at other locations and many other classes like Barry’s and SoulCycle. Terrible experience. Came 4 minutes late to class and wouldn’t let me join. Class was half empty. Front desk girl Libby didn’t make an effort to try to even get me into class. If you’ve been to locations in larger cities then I would stay away from this location.

Obsessed with OrangeTheory since joining in 2022 in NYC. I absolutely love the workouts at Orangetheory Fitness! The energy is incredible, and the staff at New Haven, CT were supportive and motivating during my visit. Every session pushes me to be my best, and I leave feeling accomplished and stronger. Highly recommend this place! Shout out to Sales Associates Tory, Melinda, Dionel and coaches Tyler and Heidi for their extreme support.

OTF New Haven is a great spot to come to, especially if visiting CT and the Yale / New Haven area!

This gym does have the “newer” treads that go up to 15 mph, and is one of the few OTF gyms in the area that do. Fore-informed is fore-armed, as they say!

Great friendly staff and coaches aren’t too bad here.

I like the studio layout, it’s open and inviting and different from what I’m used to.

Parking is a bit of pickle, but if you come here on weekends, there’s free street parking outside.

I came here for the day of the 12-minute tread benchmark challenge! Got a PR and definitely the ability to push the treads past 12 mph was a real game changer!

Overall great spot in New Haven, if you want recommendations for places to eat or visit around the area, check out my other reviews. Yale University campus is also great place to stop by!

I’ve been going to OTF for just over a year and have loved it. The owner John mentioned that HSAs could pay for the membership with a doctor’s authorization. When I mentioned it to my doctor, she absolutely was onboard with providing an exercise referral and a letter of medical necessity so that I can continue to improve my health. So come join the fun, and let your pre-tax money pay for it!

I think it's great ingenuity that the work out incorporates cardio, strength and endurance. I used to be intimidated by classes and gyms, this is not an ordinary gym! It's an amazing work out that makes me totally comfortable to work out next to any person, because it's really like having, my own personal trainer working all of us at our own level and yet pushing me to do that little bit more. But the BEST part of this Orangetheory New Haven are the staff. The trainers are amazing, if I have a problem doing a part of the workout the coach will take the time to either help me or modify for me the workout. the camaraderie,support , and friendliness in place between the trainer and front staff and with members is great and helpful to get the work done ! Thank you for opening in New Haven and helping to change my life for a healthier version of me !!! T.O. 🧡

The membership is quite shady - not only it’s auto renewed with no notifications, there’s also no ways to cancel it on your end as a customer and you have to request the staff to fill out a form to even cancel. No refunds available neither.

As someone not used to working out, I found a safe and welcoming environment to become a regular early morning gym goer five to six times a week.

What sets it apart from any other gym or studio is the atmosphere the coaches and staff set before, during and after every class. They are all very welcoming and willing to work on your goals with you no matter where you are in your physical journey. Their signature workouts and challenges are fun and challenging, allowing you to see your progress as they repeat every few months. The environment of the classes, especially during DriTri and the other challenges, is very supportive of the coaches and other studio goers who motivate each other to give their best.

Depending on your comfort level or history of injuries, the coaches can adjust, modify or change any workout to ensure you feel comfortable and challenged. Their class schedule is well varied with morning or afternoon sessions, allowing you to have a variety of times that will work best with your schedule. Scheduling, cancelling or changing booked classes is easy through their app. The app also tracks your workouts if you wear your heart rate monitor, which helps you see your progress.

The community created at the studio since it opened is second to none. They continue celebrating their members' milestones and creating an inclusive and welcoming environment.

The workouts are challenging yet addictive, and the coaches push me to be my best self every time. I love the variety in the workouts; it keeps things fresh and exciting. The best part?

Orangetheory changed my life by introducing me to ways of working out that were accessible and inclusive of many different fitness levels and backgrounds. Not only do I get an amazing workout while I'm there, but I also feel increasingly capable of working out independently because I've been given tools to understand how to workout that I never had before. The staff at OTF New Haven is always eager to help and passionate about what they do. The studio space is also one of the best I've seen after attending several studios in the area with lots of space, great equipment and the best weight selection I've seen for floor exercises. Highly recommend Coach Heidi's classes for a high energy, motivating experience.

I used to be very active in high school. After I graduated I was never able to get back to that same active level. I tried different gyms, took the classes they offered and even tried to workout on my own, but never felt the same motivation as I did in High School.

I decided to look into Orange Theory and am so glad I did. This is the best I have felt since high school.

I believe the commitment of signing up for classes stops me from making any excuses. Tracking my progress and the positive energy from the coaches keep me motived. Each class is different which keeps me from getting bored and I even look forward to the specially themed classes whether it's an inferno or a 80's day.

I would recommend Orange Theory to anyone who wants to get into fitness but needs that push to stay motivated. The community is just a bonus. - TB

I have been a member of OTF for years and have enjoyed every single class. There is a community that springs out from every OTF studio. NHOTF is no exception. In fact, it’s more a family than a community. It takes a great group of coaches and team members for that to happen, and that’s what you will find in this new studio. Now that I have found this 🍊💎, and with the help of an outstanding coach, I plan to continue challenging myself each and every day. 🧡🍊💪🏻TO

Orangetheory Fitness in New Haven is my absolute haven, my sanctuary, my happy place. It's where I find my inner strength, and my gym-ily (gym family) is like no other. The heart rate-based interval training and HIIT workout is the perfect balance of challenging and empowering. The group fitness aspect is a true blessing, no more feeling lost or staring blankly at a wall of machines. The coaches and staff are like motivational cheerleaders, always pushing me to give my best, even on the days when I feel like a noodle. The community is amazing, I've met so many wonderful people and feel a sense of belonging every time I walk through the doors. The technology tracked by the heart rate monitor is so lovely because I can see my results in real time, and across time as I continue to go. As a plus-size woman, I never feel judged for my size or shape. Orangetheory Fitness is more than just a gym, it's a lifestyle, a family, and a whole lot of fun. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a great workout and a sense of community. It's truly my happy place and I love it with all my heart. TB.
