Such a fantastic experience visiting from another studio. Lovely front staff, some of the best coaches I've had in OTF, clean and spacious studio. Probably the best studio I've visited--can't wait to come back!

Gustavo makes OTF Capitola. His knowledge and expertise is apparent - 5 stars to him. The other classes I went to were taught by coaches who were unfriendly, called people out during class, and didn’t provide valuable insight on the weight floor. The studio is clean but lacks a community feel. The front desk staff could use some customer service coaching.

UPDATE: 12.26.24

Wanted to give a quick update as I was able to attend a few classes again during a stay in Monterey (Yes, a 45 minute drive). another shout out to Coach Audrey, who was as good as ever, and thanks to Coach Krista, who I had for the first time. Both are excellent, so if you are in the area and have not given OTF a try, this studio continues to be a good one.

---------

I happen to be staying in Monterey during the 2023 Transformation Challenge, so the Capitola location was the closest for me. Consistent with other locations, Capitola's staff was friendly, the sign-up process was easy, the location was clean, and Coach Audrey was excellent.

I will say that, unlike areas where people can visit multiple locations pretty easily, because Capitola is pretty isolated, it seems like the community is pretty tight. Most folks seemed to know one another and it felt really positive.

Yes, OTF is not cheap and is kinda culty, but I have found that it works for me and my need for positive communal motivation and personal competition. I have now been to over a dozen around the country and Capitola holds up the brand with the best of them.

Orange Theory Capitola, or OT for short, is amazing 🤩 I go there three early mornings a week and am so grateful for the encouragement and upbeat attitude of the trainers! The facility is always clean, and there are showers, bathrooms, water, and lots of other like-minded people to exercise alongside. My favorite trainer is Yaz! She’s always high energy and motivational at 6:30 AM! Thank you OT 🧡🍊

Workout was good, but we are from out of town and they charged us a $10 out of town surcharge. I’ve gone to so many OTFs across the country and have never been charged. They took our card, which is normal, but charged us without telling us there was an extra fee.

The best workout that is effective, fun, and easy to commit to. I know every time I walk through those doors that I’m going to burn 500+ calories. It goes by so quick too! The strength50 classes help balance out the cardio days. All of the coaches are motivating and fun to be around. During peak intensity, my favorite saying from the coach is to keep going, that my body will show up if I push.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST workout EVER!!!
The OTF CAP crew are welcoming, professional and definitely care about their members. I have been part of the OTF family since 2017 and cannot recommend this workout enough.
It is challenging and I always appreciate the guidance and direction given by the coaches.
If you are looking to improve your wellbeing ~ DEFINITELY check out Orangetheory Fitness Capitola!

THE BEST WORKOUT EVER ~ 6 years at OTF Capitola and I still LOVE IT!!!

Orange Therey gives me the motivation that I need to push me. Prior to starting orange theory. I worked out 4 to 5 days a week but didn’t have the motivation to push myself. Orange Therey is exactly what I needed. I’m already down 3.5 pounds and started a week ago.

Highly recommend Orange Theory Capitola! Coaches are knowledgeable and fun, the workouts change all the time and motivate to challenge yourself. The Heart-Rate Monitoring System & Technology & Performance Summary is awesome to figure out how many cal burnt, how many miles at what speed etc. It feels rewarding as well to see how many calories I burnt in an hour and makes me want to come back and try harder. They offer a free trial. So see for yourself!

ChaCha is an excellent OTF coach here. She provides lots of encouragement and helps with ensuring your posture is on point for the workouts. A solid playlist of classic hits can be heard during her classes.

The front desk staff are also friendly. Glad SC County has an OTF. I just wish they would offer later weekend classes and more 2Gs throughout the week.

BEWARE of sneaky business practices and unethical behavior! Charged continuously for 8 months after cancelled due to broken arm and immobility.

My experience with Orange theory has been atrocious. I DO NOT recommend orange theory business practices. I broke my arm and called and canceled my membership over the phone with Manny. Manny ensured the account would be cancelled. 8 months later I discovered they were still charging me $199/month. I immediately called the studio and inquired why I was being charged and would like a refund. I was given the run around for over a week before I heard from the manager, Lynn. When I heard back from Lynn, she said since I had not signed any cancellation papers there was nothing she could do about it and hung up the phone. They have refused to refund my $1600. Do not trust them with the verbally agree to anything over the phone!! While I do like their fitness concept, I do not recommend this location, NOT AT ALL!

The coaches are super personable and care about your individual progress. They check in with you on adjustments and lovingly encourage you when you could go harder. And the community is just really positive and uplifting. The workouts are so fun and have done wonders for my mental and physical health. I have always avoided cardio and never enjoyed getting my butt kicked when it came to exercise- now, I look FORWARD to it! Can't recommend OTF-Capitola enough!

Why do I love OTF Capitoal? First the coaches. All of them, so supportive. And they provide tips for form and encourage you to grow and move outside your comfort zone. Second, the way you can modify it for you. I had some knee issues and had to switch from running to power walking, and still get a great workout. Third, the variety of templates. Always switching up, never boring, always total ESP.

I’ve been to a number of OTF locations and this is my favorite by far. Super friendly accessible staff, from the front desk to the coaches. There’s a real feeling of community. Going to the workouts at least 3x a week really pays off as I’ve already made progress towards my own fitness goals over a 3 week period ❤️💪🏽

The fast workout components are straight ahead movements (treadmill and row), while the movements with twisting or other movements that can lead to injury are self-paced. That is important for someone my age. I love all the bio-feedback in real time!

I have been going to Orangetheory for 1 1/2 years and feel that the workouts are a good all around exercise routine. The entire Orangetheory community front desk, coaches and members make you feel like part of a family. Coaches are amazing making sure you are using the proper form for the exercises so as not to injure yourself. Well worth checking one out if you haven't.

I really like this place. I think I would give it 4.5 stars. Some people have mentioned the front staff was not nice to them. My impression has been the opposite. They've always been friendly to me. The workout is well-rounded and grounded in expectations (I used to do cross fit and they were a bit crazy with the weight lifting). I think the only thing to make it better would be to get a bigger studio. Sometimes it's a bit tight in there.

Otf capitola has some incredible instructors, highly recommend taking classes with Rayne or Gustavo!! However, the front desk attendant Brittany is an absolute nightmare of a human. I’ve never had someone say such mean things about me behind my back then act sweet to my face. She genuinely devalues the OTF community.

Anything less then a 5 star rating is a joke. Whoever posts less is a person who is never happy and feels the need to post something because they think people actually care about their pointless opinion. It is a gym, not rocket science and they do a tremendous job at OTF. Yes they may occasionally have minor issues but they deal with it like a fortune 500 company. So all the doubters and nay sayers, post where you work so we can dissect your job apart !! OTF is a great place to work out, period !!!

I teach yoga and fitness so I'm a bit biased on my reviews, but my overall experience here was so bad. When I entered the studio, I was greeted by Karen who was rude to me and made me feel unwelcome, like I was at the DMV.

I was 16 minutes early and was crossed off the list because I was a "new student". I've actually taken OTF about 7 years ago, but felt very new since it had been so long. She told me nothing about the class coming up and asked me to fill out a form away from her desk to not be in the way.

Then asked me to pay $5 or $10 for a heart rate monitor. As someone who works in studios, 29 dollars for a class, plus $5 for a device and unfriendly service, I most likely wouldn't come back.

The class overall was okay and a couple girls told me it was not normall like that - the teacher wasn't the most motivating and stayed in the corner. The treadmill portion was 30 minutes and I was under the impression equal time was spent on each part of the class.

I remember really liking the class I took ages ago so this was all disappointing.

I know that I am getting the best workout for the time that I put in. I don't have to think about what I want to do, I can just show up and know it's always going to be great, always different, never boring, always challenging. I love the sense of accomplishment I feel every single time I go. Multiple benefits for my physical health, mental health, and longevity. The coaches are great, high energy, they inspire you to challenge yourself, to constantly improve and do better.

I love my OTF Capitola team! They are pulling together to help victims of the Camp fire. My family was directly affected by this and it is so heartbreaking to see so many people traumatized with nothing and nowhere to go. The situation is still dire up there as literally everyone is displaced. Every little bit really makes a difference! Thank you!

We dropped in from MN and had a great time. Trainers and front desk staff were awesome and motivating. Nice new equipment. Multiple showers and bathrooms. Floor area was a little small, but was functional. OTF heart rate training is great.

Although they advertise that your first class is free, it isn't. The drop in fee is a whopping $28, in other words, roughly equivalent to a month long gym membership. After you sign up for the (NOT) free class, they start barraging you with phone calls, emails and text messages. I got to class 25 minutes ahead of time only to be turned away for being too late. Too late? 25 minutes before a one hour class? Do not waste your time, and definitely don't provide any personal or financial information to them.
