I wish corporations treated people the way they want to be viewed in their own legal status β like actual people.
The gym itself is great. The coaches are fantastic. But be very cautious with management, especially when it comes to contracts and billing.
I developed a severe case of plantar fasciitis and froze my account with doctorβs notes. I was treated for six months and came in personally to extend my freeze. I didnβt want to cancel because they would charge me for another month, and I couldnβt physically attend classes due to the pain.
I had a verbal conversation with someone at the gym and was under the impression my account would remain frozen. I was told Iβd be notified before billing resumed. That didnβt happen.
Fast forward β I just noticed three months of $219 charges. No calls. No emails. Nothing from OrangeTheory. I contacted them, but they claimed thereβs no record of my conversation and refused to refund anything.
Fine. Keep the $600+. Clearly, the money means more than customer relationships. Iβll be sharing this experience anytime the topic of OrangeTheory comes up.
Enjoy the cash β Iβll be bad mouthing OT for as long as it ever comes up in conversation.

I now look forward to Mondays because I get to take class with coach Claire. She gives specific feedback, makes such an effort to build genuine memberships with the members, and motivates everyone in the room when she coaches. The people, coaches, and members here are second to none. Orangetheory Lakeview has helped become accountable, look forward to working out, and get in the best shape of my life!

I previously went to Edgewater and Andersonville OTFβs and had the best experiences so after moving to LP I was so happy that I have OTF close to my new place. Oh boyβ¦ such a different experience. Front desk girls are just plane rude, I always have a feeling like I am interrupting them when coming to sign in. Either on their phones or chatting without even saying hi. The other day one wouldnβt let me in after I was 5 minutes late to class. 5!! Did not even offer to rebook me or anything. Felt like trash leaving that place, not like a paying customer. While at Edgewater and Andersonville everyone was nice, made an effort to learn my name very quickly and were just nice overall, here is a completely different story. It is honestly Mean Girls vibe. None of the trainers also bothered to learn my name after a few months going there so I just stopped. Giving 2 stars only because I love their programs. I will be canceling my membership just because of poor customer service at this gym, and that sucks because I really loved my original OTF experience.

Enjoyed my free class unfortunately I wonβt be able to sign up for the membership I personally feel the prices are too high I might as well become a member at Equinox. I was kind of turned off by how pushy the front desk staff was when it came to getting me to sign up , Iβve worked in sales so I understand what they were doing but it was a bit much . Trainer was great .

I loved this place and the workouts. Great coaches.
But they raised their prices and Iβll never go back. Itβs so disappointing how much they were raised and they were already expensive. (Not this location Iβm sure, but probably all locations.) Workout classes are no longer worth the cost. Too many places asking for entirely too much money. When a gym membership costs the same PER MONTH, as ONE CLASS. Jeez.

Iβve been to at least 5 other studios around the US and this is by far my favorite. Coaches are great. Staff knows all regulars by name. Layout is ideal with floor behind rowers behind treadmills. And there is always a close spot in the parking lot!

At one time, I was a marathoner and ultramarathoner until I got Covid - and then I got long-Covid. Running for more than 3 minutes was impossible and the frustration really set in. After getting the go-ahead from my doctor, I joined Orangetheory. The group dynamics coupled with upbeat and supportive coaches have been instrumental in my recovery and I am gaining strength and stamina every day. 3 minutes have turned into 3 miles and I have no doubt I will continue to make back what was lost.

This is the best workout experience I have ever had. I can feel my body changing, but more importantly, after leaving Orange Theory I know I can handle anything the day throws my way. I feel grounded, energized and empowered. I appreciate that every time I attend class I am doing something new. I love the structured variety.

OTF is my favorite workout of all time and this is my favorite studio. Many studios are dark and under the orange lights, but I love the brightness of this studio. I also love all the coaches and front desk. The price seems like a lot at first, but youβll become addicted and, honestly, itβs the same as all other studios in the area.

I have been a member at OTF Lakeview for 3 years now and continue to love it! Highly recommend for ALL fitness types as you can just walk on the treadmills and use your own body weight or light weights to start with! I love that each class is different. I never find that I'm bored or watching the clock at OTF, as I often did with other fitness programs. Bonus that there's free easy parking for this location, which is definitely NOT the case for most buildings in Chicago! Definitely come check it out!

The most spacious studio in the north side by far. I love the staff and the parking situation make all the difference. I have tried previous studios, but I have to say the coaches (Ernie and Raisa in particular) are so motivating in achieving my fitness goals to make me sign up and keep working hard!

Orangetheory Lakeview is my favorite place to be four days a week! I've been a member for almost three years and regret nothing. This is by far the most spacious studio I've ever visited and the coaches are superb. Ernie and Ashley are wonderful and I can't say enough good things.

I recently joined Orangetheory a little over a month ago. I didn't think the class atmosphere was something I'd like but I must say, not only are the classes fun and a great workout, but the entire staff at Lakeview is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I've been able to work with Ernie, Ashley, and Shelley who have all been great and look forward to continuing more classes. I also appreciate the follow-ups after joining to make sure things are going well. Thanks all!

A crucial aspect of OT is the ability to push your training from your current level of fitness. No keeping up with anyone but yourself AND the time frame your working in. The coaches are spot on! Always available IF you need them OR they spot a technique or form you should adjust which would greatly benefit your goals. Keeping the studio spotless is paramount at OT, plenty of space between people to thrive, hand sanitizer is also everywhere you turn. Most of the coaches playlists are motivating. The 5am classes are a plus and plenty of parking all hours of the day. Happy to be here!

I liked that you're challenged to improve personally, not against others in the class. I liked when the instructors are up-beat, motivating and engaging. The facility is clean and not smelly, nice equipment, pumped up music that makes it fun. The front desk associates are extremely nice and knowledgeable. I liked that the process is explained at the beginning so I know what's going on.

They now have a 5 minute policy where they refuse entry to a class if you are 5 minutes late !!! They are too high and mighty for Chicagoans now!...Time to change. This incident happened 09/22/2019, 1130 am class. My wife is a member and was rejected in this incident. I am advising her to cancel. FYI, she was 6 minutes late LOL!!. Apparently, 10 minutes late policy has been shortened to 5 minutes.

1 MONTH EDIT:After one month and visiting other OrangeTheorys, I do not know why Lakeview charges higher fees than other studios. I visited Highland Park and they have free hair ties on the desk, offered their customers an OrangeTheory bag when their hands were full, had newer treadmills (with screens ) and even offered free heart rate monitors (which Lakeview charges $5 on top of the higher studio fees). The icing on the cake, you ask?!? Highland Park even has Taco Tuesdays one day a month. Lakeview has severely disappointed me in that we pay more and offers less. I still enjoy the classes but I noticed Lakeview ALSO has a strange/different vibe compared to any other location.
I used to have a personal trainer but have been out of the game for about a year now. ON top of moving back to the states, I had no idea where to begin getting back to the gym. This is exactly what I was looking for. I still feel like I have the personal trainer vibe, just in a class setting. This way I am also able to meet new people in my area, as well as getting my butt back into shape. I took one free trial class and I am now hooked.

Love the workout and staff! I would highly recommend OTF Lakeview. Itβs relatively a large studio too, compared to other OTF locations I've visited. Everything about OTF is motivating - the coaches, the music and the members. Going regularly makes it feel like a small community who encourages each other and holds each other accountable.

I love Orange Theory!!!! I love that every day the workout is different with a ton of variety. Certain days I'm feeling stronger than others, so there are so many ways to challenge yourself (or even modify down if needed). The instructors are amazing - so fun with so much energy making the workout that much better (and I've visited many studios). I noticed results pretty quickly, and I continue to get stronger and will definitely continue going to Orange Theory.

The workouts are amazing! Each workout is always different and each workout is always challenging. The coaches at Lakeview are all personable and encouraging. I have had workouts with all of the coaches, and they are all incredible. I love how easy it is, signing up for the workout on the app takes no time and once you show up, all you have to do is listen and watch the coaches. There's no thought that needs to go into the actual workout; how much time you're spending on cardio, the amount of reps that you have to do, what exercise you should do to fire what muscle group. I used to hate schelpping myself to the gym, because no matter what I tried, I literally could not motivate myself once I got there. At Orange Theory, I know that once I show up, I'm going to have an amazing workout no matter what, and before you know it, the hour is done and I've burned 500-600 calories. I cannot recommend Orange Theory enough. Take the dive and just do it! It'll be the best decision you make!
