The staff, studio, and equipment are all top notch. They make you feel at home right away and they are very community-oriented. The workouts are fun and change everyday to present new challenges. The staff and members are very accommodating and want to help you reach your goals. 10/10.

💖 Wonderful salon! The nail technicians are true artists — they do everything with care and great attention to detail. My manicure looks perfect, with flawless shape and polish. The pedicure was pure relaxation — very comfortable and pleasant. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I always leave in a great mood and can’t wait to come back again!

On the plus side, it was surprisingly spacious for a downtown studio in a major city. But I found the layout to be a little awkward and it wasn’t the most welcoming OTF I’ve been to. The coach was more of a walk around and bark orders type; not much in the way of personal attention or encouragement, even in a less than half full class. They still have the old treads, which was surprising given that they call themselves a “select” studio and charge a surcharge to visiting unlimited members. Not a bad experience overall, but I’ll probably try another location next time I’m in Chicago.

A gem of an Orange Theory experience. Like the bright atmosphere and energetic coaches (what's in those coffees?).
I have been twice and have visited 10+ and this one stands out as one of the best run ones visited so far!

I've been going to OT for about 12 years now and it is hands down the best workout. The science works! And the coaches truly care about you and work with you on form, different exercise options, etc. The staff at River North is amazing and be sure to take one of Coach David's classes because he has the best playlists and dance moves :)

Visited this location over Memorial Day weekend with one of my best friends! Staff and classmates were all very welcoming, amenities were abundant, and it was 90 minutes long! While all of these things were wonderful, my FAVORITE part was their free little library!! Will be back next time I visit Chicago.

Was in town for the long weekend and dropped by OTF River North. Coach Haley did a fantastic job coaching the end of All Out Mayhem and Coach Michelle had a phenomenal playlist and great vibes. Everyone at the studio had an amazing energy and all were very welcoming. I would definitely come back to this studio should I be back in Chicago!

I attended OTF River North as a drop in during a recent vacation in Chicago. What a great premium studio! Coach and front desk staff were awesome. The full locker room was huge and clean. I would definitely recommend this location for any locals. Thanks for having me!

Was in Chicago from out of state and dropped into the River North location. Coach Haley did a terrific job motivating us and the front desk assistant was welcoming and helpful. Would definitely drop in to the studio should I be back in Chicago!

Orangetheory has completely changed the way I approach fitness—not just physically, but mentally too. The energy in every class is electric, the coaches are supportive without being pushy, and the structure keeps me accountable in a way nothing else ever has. I walk in knowing I’m going to be challenged and walk out proud of myself every single time. The rower still humbles me, but the sense of community and progress I’ve found here is unmatched. This place makes me want to show up—for my goals, my health, and myself.

I took 2 classes at the River noth location this past weekend and had a great experience. I took a 2G class and then followed it up with a strength class and both were great. The teacher (Jenny) was great and I also really appreciated the fully stocked clean bathroom and free towels to use. As a former Chicagoian who was just visiting this weekend I would recommend this location of OT to anyone and wish it was there when I was. Thank you, I will be back when I'm in town!

Admittedly, I'm an OTF convert and fan for life. I have visited 20+ studios around the world, so i have a pretty good foundation to compare studios. Not all studios are great experiences, some are not even one that would be rated good. The workout is the same regardless so it's the people that make each studio special. I had a great experience at River North in the two classes i took while traveling. Front-end staff reached out via SMS the day before, looking to confirm my reserved spot and advising that I'd need to be a little early to ensure all the standard 'visiting from another home studio' boxes were checked off before the start of class. The back-and-forth via SMS was not automated, it was a live human messaging back. When I showed up in the studio, the staff greeted me with cheeriness even though it was quite early. The coaches introduced themselves to me, which is a big deal. It doesn't happen at every studio, for that matter, it doesn't happen at every studio in Chicagoland. I see it happen at my home studio and other locations, and it's a nice personal touch. The coaches were spot-on with their form corrections and modifications. I definitely will visit again when in town!!

I recently visited the Orangetheory Fitness studio in River North while traveling from my home studio in Omaha, Nebraska, and had an amazing experience! The staff was incredibly welcoming, and Kit was top-notch. It was so refreshing to see the consistency in quality across locations. If you're ever in Chicago, I highly recommend stopping by this studio. Orangetheory never disappoints!

The incredible coaches make OTF River North special!

Coach Kit, the life of the party with her infectious energy and killer music playlists always set the tone for a powerful workout. On Coach Kit days, I already know I’m going to have the adrenaline rush with her leading the way. She has literally watched me through my journey, nudging me to lift heavier, push harder, or try something new to get a more effective workout. Kit knows exactly how hard I can go, and her encouragement always motivates me to reach the next level. She’s not just a coach—she’s my hero and favorite DJ!

Coach Jenny brings a calming consistency to the studio that makes you feel instantly at home. She’s always tuned in, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in your workout. Her attention to detail and ability to recognize when someone needs extra help is something I truly admire. She has a way of making you feel cared for and supported every time you walk through the doors. I absolutely love her!

And Coach David’s energy and dance moves keeps me smiling—even when the workout gets tough. All of OTF coaches and staff are all amazing and have made such a difference in my fitness journey.

I’ve been a member of this OTF studio since March 2021, and I can’t get over what a fun, holistic workout this is! The coaches know what they’re doing and make the effort to fix your form or push you to be better when you’re ready! I love seeing how much my fitness journey has changed and grown since becoming a member at OTF-River North. (:

River North is a great studio!!! Coach Kit is AMAZING - she has the best playlist, is so energetic, and makes the class so much fun! The studio's bathrooms were stocked with anything you may need which was so appreciated as that is not something I am used to at my home studio. I highly recommend this location if you are in the area!

I usually go to the Old Town OrangeTheory, but decided to check out this studio since it’s close to my office and super convenient after work. I was really happy with the whole experience! The workout was intense (in a good way!), the coaches were awesome, and the equipment was in great shape. The facilities were also really nice—while I didn’t need to shower this time, they seemed to have everything you’d need to get cleaned up and presentable post-workout if you’re heading somewhere afterward. Overall, I had a great time and will definitely be back when I need a quick workout after work!

It was so much fun to work out with Jeremy at Orange Theory River North recently when I was in town for my daughter's wedding! The workout gave me the endorphine surge I wanted to start the weekend off with high energy! Jenny at the front desk was friendly and accommodating, the studio was spotless and tidy, and it was evident that it has an active and engaged membership who participate and compete in a variety of activities. The fact that I was the senior member of my class didn't intimidate me - I felt like the example of "fitness at any age" for the younger members. If I'm ever in Downtown Chicago again, I will definitely return!

I am new to the city and tried out this location for the first time and loved it! The front desk employee was very helpful and friendly and the coach Kit was encouraging, knowledgable, and personable during the workout. I have tried out many different studios across the nation and I would definitely recommend this one.

I used to enjoy orange theory but lately I’ve found the customer service at this location is on a huge decline. They don’t honor the 5 min grace period and will deny you entry based on the discretion of the person working in the front. Coaches are becoming lazy, don’t even come up to help you or correct your form. The bathrooms aren’t even stocked and it’s just not worth the price anymore. For such an expensive fitness membership, you’d assume it would reflect the service you receive. I reached out to the studio manager who didn’t even get back to me. I’ve since cancelled them as my home studio and if I were to ever rejoin it will be at literally any other studio.

Love, love, love this studio! Aside from the great coaching and the wonderful and friendly front desk team, the studio is clean, spacious, and they are always offering some type of fun challenge to keep you motivated. I've been to quite a few OTF studios in the past 8 years and this one is definitely one of my favorites!

While the coaches and studio space at River North are great, the front desk staff and studio manager here aren't the kindest or the most understanding. They charged me a "preferred guest rate" for going to this studio even though I have a premier membership at my home studio in San Francisco. Additionally, I took my friend to her first orange theory class here and we arrived early at 5:20pm for the 5:45pm class and the front desk staff claimed it wasn't enough time to walk my friend through all the instruction since we had to be there by 5:15pm. They made her leave the class for "liability reasons", but then never asked me to sign any paperwork or waivers even though it was also my first time at this studio. I really do understand the importance of following rules/regulations, but of all the Orange Theory studios I've been to across the country, the staff here has been the least organized, the least flexible, and the least understanding.

I’ve been to 25+ different OTFs across the country just from work travel and this one is easily within my top 2. Absurdly clean, consistent, fun. Front desk staff is fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and somehow know every member by name (?!). Coaches are also AWESOME, especially Caitlin, Jeff and Jeremy. Music is great, tread blocks are always run on time and they are all really knowledgeable about form/making corrections when necessary. I also particularly appreciate this studio as they encourage taking “green days” if you are looking to take a recovery day and not go all out. I come 6-7x/week so it’s always nice to hear that. They also run a great Instagram and have really convenient class times. 10/10!!!!!!

I booked my first class almost a week ahead of time. Arrived 25 minutes early for my first trial class and was excited to try the facility. They told me I was not not early enough for class and denied me from doing the class. I was literally 25 minutes early for my first class!

They obviously have little respect for their customers. I would not recommend this place.
