The coaches are phenomenal and the front desk staff are always so welcoming. I had the honor of taking classes with Coach Soph and Coach Cameron, and they were both so friendly, fun, and motivating! This is my mom’s home studio, and I’m incredibly thankful to the whole team for making it such a welcoming and empowering place for her to work out. She literally raves about all the coaches, and now I see why!
Y’all are doing an amazing job! thank you for creating such a positive, high energy space for your members!

I recently came back to OrangeTheory Emeryville and couldn't be happier to be back. It is a very welcoming community that supports all fitness levels with really friendly and helpful staff. The coaches are fantastic, they keep me pushing and are very supportive. The variety of workouts, great music and motivating atmosphere are exactly what I want and I appreciate the positive impact in my life, both physically and mentally.

I’ve been working out at Orangetheory Emeryville for just over a week, and I’m already hooked. The coaches are incredibly motivating and supportive, and they do a great job explaining each part of the workout, which is perfect for someone new like me. The energy in the studio is contagious, the facility is spotless, and the staff are always welcoming and professional. I already feel stronger and more energized, and I’m excited to keep going. Highly recommend this studio if you’re looking for a structured, high-energy workout in a positive environment!

I joined Orange Theory Emeryville at the beginning of January ‘25 and have been hooked ever since! I’d like to give a shout out to coach Cameron b/c not only is she amazing but she’s super funny too! I love her smile and energy (and she plays the best music during the classes!). I’d also like to shout out coach Sam who is my favorite 🤩 she is always very attentive, she is detailed, asks questions, checks in, and is available to help motivate her students! She is great! Next Id like to shout out Soph who is by far the best coach when it comes to form and finding alternative workouts on the weight floor when you need modifications. Soph is also the best at the stretches after each workout! Last but definitely not least Id like to shout out coach Anand who brings the BEST energy! During the workouts he makes you do your best by challenging you in all the best ways possible (the energy is thru the roof). Because of him, I have gotten stronger and ran faster! Love his energy! Everyone is great, even the front desk staff. It’s like a little cozy home away from home. 5 stars all the way and I’ve seen massive changes in my body, strength, and endurance since I started 2 months ago! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

If you’re thinking about joining OTF don’t second think joining OTF Emeryville! I needed discipline but also a welcoming, uplifting environment, and that’s exactly what I found at this studio! I’ve been taking classes with Soph since I joined and I absolutely love him! He always takes his time to check in with you and uplift your spirit! Everyone in front is amazing! They’re all welcoming and encouraging, shoutout to Regina and Cyd for always being understanding and a listening ear 🤗

Review Update✨
Anyone on a fitness journey might feel like it’s an endless pursuit and really hard to know if/when you are making progress! Coach Sam goes out of her way to make sure I acknowledge my own progress- incremental and impactful. Consistency is key and the team here consistently makes this a place where I feel excited to show up for myself! 🧡thank you!

This team is fantastic! From the moment I walked in the door I felt encouraged, supported, and grateful to be joining the OTF community. A huge shoutout to Mackenzie and Anand who first welcomed me, and to Jaz who goes out her way to celebrate milestones and keep us all connected! Finally my Coach Julian is the GOAT- best music, vibes, and energy! I’m stronger mentally and physically because of you- half the battle is what you tell yourself, thank you for all the modifications, belly laughs, and competitive reminders that it’s always me vs me— consistency is the name of the game! 💪🏾🍊🎼

Orangetheory my Favorite !!!
It keeps me motivated and pushes my limits in the best way possible. The combination of cardio, strength training, and heart rate-based intervals makes every class both challenging and effective. The coaches are energetic, knowledgeable, and always encouraging, ensuring you get the most out of your workout. Let’s not forget the best music played while you work out.

Khulan at the front desk —- I appreciate you pushing me on the days that I don’t feel like working out.

I used to be a runner, but motherhood happened. When I first came across Orangetheory Emeryville, I felt intimidated. Would I belong? Could I keep up?

But some coaches, along with Jaz (the current studio manager) and the front desk team, have a way of making the space feel like home. There’s just the right balance of challenge and warmth—enough to keep me showing up, week after week, until I realized I wasn’t just exercising anymore. I was reclaiming a part of myself.

Over the course of a year, I lost 22 lbs. But more importantly, I gained strength. Enough to complete my first 5K since what felt like another lifetime.

For those wondering if it’s worth the money, here's my answer: it is, especially if you struggle to work out alone or have limited time. I’ve had access to gyms for free, but I could never be as efficient with my energy or focus. Here, you make the most of every hour.

Tip: Find the right coach—each one brings a different style and energy, so take your time to figure out who fits your rhythm before settling into a routine. It can make or break your OTF journey.

Thank you, OTF Emeryville, for giving me back what I thought I’d lost. :)

If you're looking for a motivating, fun, and results-driven workout, Orangetheory Emeryville is the place to be!

The entire staff and instructors here are incredible--they create such an energetic and welcoming environment. I was incredibly hesitant and intimidated to try Orangetheory, but the moment I walked in, Jaz, Regina, Cyd, and Khulan (I'll never forget my first visit) made me feel welcomed with their friendliness, support, and helpfulness. Ever since I started going, they've made it feel like a family, which makes you excited to go to the gym and work out.

I've actually had the pleasure of taking classes with every instructor at the Emeryville location. They not only make each class challenging and enjoyable but help you break personal records and conquer new milestones. What really stands out is their dedication to proper form. They take the time to ensure you're doing exercises correctly, which makes a huge difference in both safety and progress.

Sam - she encourages you to put in the work, her Saturday classes are fun but also kick you in the butt. She's so motivational and very personable. She's a rockstar.

Anand - if you want to have a crazy good time and work your butt off, make sure you take his classes. His enthusiasm and excitement is contagious and helps you challenge yourself even more. It's a non-stop workout party.

Cameron - her playlist is always fire and the energy is always up, then it's up, then its stuck (IYKYK), and you are actively engaged in the workout. It can be a tough workout, but damn it feels good.

Soph - they bring the motivation! They make every workout dynamic with fun challenges and encouragement at just the right moments. I always leave class feeling stronger and more motivated.

I've taken a few morning classes, great for before the workday. Nina and Cyd really helped me get into the groove and feel great for the rest of the day!

No matter your fitness level, they make you feel supported and capable of pushing beyond your limits so always keep in mind to go at your own pace and over time you'll see insane progress!

I can't recommend Orangetheory Emeryville enough. They're genuinely committed to helping every person be their best! Now go get them splat points!

Omg let me tell you I absolutely love OrangeTheory Emeryville. I love the instruction and gentle push from the Coaches with each workout you don't feel like someone is yelling at you and they are so supportive. The facility is so clean and fresh. I also love being able to detach from the world in that 1 hour and just focus on myself. Coach Soph and Cameron are absolute rock stars you can tell the passion they have for fitness as they instruct you. And last but not least the front desk staff are so inviting and friendly it reminds me of the show Cheers whenever the character Norm would walk in everyone knew his name. With everyone who walks in the door they know your name it makes it feel like home.

This was my first real workout class as I normally like to exercise alone. I really enjoyed the HIIT component of it as the instructor did a great job of making sure everyone is focused on themselves and beating their own PRs, metrics, etc whatever you’d like to call it. I also really liked how they track your heart rate during the workout, I look forward to using my new heart rate monitor during my own workouts and in future OT class

I LOOOOVE orangetheory Emeryville! Prior to OTF, I have never been able to establish any type of consistent exercise routine. I now go here 4+ times a week and I enjoy every minute.

The coaches are always very encouraging- they will get to know you personally, correct your form, and celebrate your progress. The front desk staff are also very friendly- they make me feel welcomed, keep me updated on events and challenges, and help me when I have questions about my membership & devices.

The workouts are fun & effective and the template is different every day, so you always feel challenged. I have been able to run faster, train for longer distances, recover faster, and lift heavier. OTF also improves my mental health and I feel happy coming here every day.

I cannot recommend OTF Emeryville enough! From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by the fantastic front desk staff (Kenzie, Jaz, Genesis) - their friendliness makes you feel instantly welcome and sets the tone for the entire class experience.

Julian, Anand, and Malia, the coaches, are truly amazing - their passion for fitness is evident in every session, and their expertise ensures that you get the most out of every workout. They motivate, encourage, and challenge you to push beyond your limits, all while prioritizing safety and proper technique. Their energy is infectious, and their dedication to helping you achieve your fitness goals is unparalleled.

The variety of workouts keeps things interesting and ensures that you're constantly challenged, and never bored. From high-intensity interval training to strength and conditioning, there's something for everyone, regardless of fitness level or goals.

In summary, OTF Emeryville always goes above and beyond! With the exceptional coaching and the friendly reception from the front desk team, I've seen incredible improvements and transformation in my level of fitness. For anyone looking for a great workout experience, look no further!

They pay attention to everyone's individual needs, pushing us to surpass our limits while ensuring we maintain proper form and stay injury-free.

Main Differences between Body Fitness Training (BFT) in Rockridge , Orange Theory Fitness (OTF) in Montclair and Emeryville, and OTF with the excellent trainer Elliot at the Montclair location.

Heart Rate and “Scoring”:
- BFT: you’re rewarded to stay in a zone and push yourself but not too hard, and the coaches there use it to tailor your effort. If you exceed the recommended HR, you gain less points than if you stayed in the recommended zones.
- In OTF, I usually don’t hear anything from the coaches about my individual HR, and I’m not discouraged from pushing to red (90%+ HR) and staying there. You get the same “splat points” for being in the Orange zone (think 80% - 89%) and Red zone (I think it’s like 90 - 100%+)
- OTF with Elliot: I think if you linger in the low HR sections, Elliot will ask you to work harder

Coaches
- BFT: You have 2 - 3 coaches who watch you and ask you to improve your form, if needed
- OTF without Elliot: OTF only has one coach, and for some reason he/she likes to oscillate between the cardio and weights, so we rarely got any coaching doing the exercises
- OTF with Elliot: Elliot tends to spend the majority of his time at the strength training area, and he was very instructive and helpful in correcting our postures when needed

Cardio
- BFT has 6 or more cardio exercises in my mixed session, so they could have more than that in a pure cardio session
- OTF: Only 2 cardio options: row and treadmill
- OTF with Elliot: On rowing, Elliot asked us to mix in rowing with cardio exercises like high knee kicks so it was less monotonous

Variety
- BFT has a lot more variety and they even have boxing/kickboxing with bags. For Cardio day, I did 12 different exercises with several machines (ski machine, 2 different stationary bikes, treadmill, row machine)
- OTF: has 2 main options: cardio (row and tread) and some weights. I did a “tread” day there where I was on a treadmill for 60 minutes.
- OTF with Elliot: Even with Elliot, OTF lacks the variety in equipment that BFT has

Cost
- BFT is $200 for 8 classes ($25/class)
- OTF is $250 for 10 classes (also $25/class)
- I would compare BFT to personal training and OTF to more of a spin class where you’re not getting as much personal attention

Overpriced. I thought the coaches would be helpful but it’s like fast food of workouts. They want you in and out so they can get the next set of paying customers in. Don’t let having a “coach” or “guide” fool you into thinking it’s this amazing workout you can’t achieve elsewhere. 3 stars because some of the facilities are cleaner, have things like feminine products on hand, as well, you do get a good work out if you work. Otherwise nothing to really write home about except they basically make you buy some expensive janky arm band that doesn’t even work efficiently unless in their facility.

I looked into Orangetheory bc I wanted to find a fitness class that had an element of running in it but still had strength training. I tried one class, liked it, so signed up for 8 sessions/month. Midway through the month, realized there was no way I could get by with only going to 8 classes bc I loved it!!! Signed up for unlimited membership and have not looked back since.

All the coaches are amazing and they offer so many classes throughout the day which is so helpful when you need a break from work (inbetween meetings or after a full day of them 😪)

* Coach Quinton has this vibrant zen energy… Like he was a jolly wise monk in a past life. Love that he always corrects my form when needed!
* Coach Katie is a total cool girl that never fails in getting me pumped with her raspy cool girl voice
* Coach Brandon alwaysss got the fire playlist on deck. I’m over here trying to breathe but I can’t help but sing or jam out to all the beats
* Coach (and Studio Manager) Lexus doesn’t always teach but when she does, it’s like sultry chocolate words of encouragement ringing in your ear and telling you you can do it. Did she also have a past life? Podcaster maybe? Who knows, but I wouldn’t be surprised
* Coach Brian brings me back to my punk rock days and I ain’t mad about it

Front desk team is always so friendly, greets you by name; studio is clean and offers hair ties, mints, and spray. I also like that the location is next to the Public Market in Emeryville… It always makes for a nice post-class lunch spot when my friends and I OTF together.

Also, free parking. What?!! #fitnessclassparadise

I've been going to OrangeTheory for four years now. Their group workout format with treadmill, rower, and floor exercises really keeps me motivated to do my best, regardless of my ability. In the first 9 months, I was able to drop 65 pounds! Now I'm working on building up my strength with the weights and my endurance on the treads and rowers.

The front desk staff and coaches at Emeryville are so encouraging, and the other members have become my "fitness family", supporting each other along the way.

Coach Brandon is the best, most involved coach; Anand at the front desk is always in such a lovely, spunky mood; and studio manager Lexus keeps the tempo of the gym light, upbeat, and CLEAN. Plus, parking is totally free for 2 hours in the Public Market lot. I love that the studio is in a hideaway corner off the street too— feels nice and private despite the buzz of the market next door. 10/10 recommend for a kicka** workout and immaculate vibes ;-)

Coach Erica’s 5am classes are the absolute best way to start the day. She is a gem. I’ve only ever attended the 5am in Emeryville, so I don’t know about other coaches or what the scene is like later when everyone is awake, but for the early class, it’s not too crowded, parking is reasonable to find, and Coach Erica is top-notch. Seriously one of my favorite OTF coaches of all times! She has the perfect balance of providing the right level of explanation without being shouty. It’s not easy to make a 5am class fun but Erica shines like a bright star. Please please don’t move studios!

OTF Emeryville is one of the original East Bay locations. Their staff has always been welcoming and kind. The workouts are well designed and impactful.

Coaches: Coach Q is one of the best OTF coaches there is. He is patient, kind, engaged, and truly cares about us as workout participants. He is motivating, and not afraid to offer direct feedback. It is a treat to take a class with Quinton!

Coach Brandon: Brandon has a special place in my heart because he coached me all through my pregnancy. He was not afraid to offer feedback and modifications as I got bigger and clumsier. Brandon manages to motivate a room and each individual at the same time. He also plays great music.

OTF Emeryville is a very special location and community.

communicating with the staff at OTF is usually my first in-person interaction of the day (shoutout wfh life), and i'm always greeted warmly. i've got to give a specific shoutout to Davon, who has the most positive and vibrant aura! he's even memorized what station i like to start my workout at!

brandon, camilo, lexus, and q are wonderful coaches. they check in on you, motivate you, and push you to the very best of your abilities. they've taught me my body is a machine, and i've seen it do some things i never would have imagined possible! i've grown some biceps that give me the ego to challenge my friends to arm wrestle :D

great environment! great people! highly recommend !!!!!!

I have only gone for a (free) single session, as it turns out it was not really for me.

I think the strength section of the classes are a very tough place to start for beginners. The weight moves are complicated, and there is only about a 10 second demo given before beginning. While you work out, they have video monitors showing what the movement is supposed to look like, but the videos are all captured at terrible angles and are really too small to be seen through sweaty eyelids. No guidance at all is given for reps / sets / weight.

Needless to say, I couldn't really figure out if I was doing anything correctly during the strength section of the class. The coach was polite and did try to help, but without any guidance given to how muscles should be activating, it was impossible for me to tell if I was actually doing anything useful - it certainly did not feel like I was!

The heart rate monitor was pretty cool to really show you progress during the cardio part of the workout. That being said, I bought my own on Amazon and have been using it to guide my own regimen. I have had better luck picking routines / videos online for strength than I did in the strength segment of this class.

I would say this place makes sense if you are a veteran runner who is looking for something new, or really need the motivation of someone yelling at you to do your cardio. Would not recommend for those just starting out.

I have been going to classes at OTF Emeryville for 1 1/2 and I honestly don’t know what I would do without it. The workouts are challenging and new every day. The coaches are encouraging, energetic and fun!! Special shout out to Coach Ashley, Coach Adena, and Coach Shah!! Their support has helped me to reach new levels and goals. The support staff at the front desk is beyond helpful, and super friendly !!!! The entire facility is kept clean, and the music is always jamming !! I recommend OTF to anyone of any age or level of fitness. The coaches always offer modifications and ask if you have any injuries or limitations. This is a no judgement environment that welcomes all!!!

The time went by quickly as each part of the workout was no longer than 15-20 minutes. I could expend a lot more energy since a lot of the pushes were only 60-90 seconds. Coach was very supportive--like a personal trainer but attentive to how I was feeling not just trying to make me work harder.

You guys don't be fool of this Scam place! I'm not really fan of writing reviews but I've decided to write here because of my horrible experience with this branch and specially the manager Angie or whatever her name !!!

so because they're disparate for people to signup they forced me to charge one more month and because it's written in the agreement I said okay that's totally fine but when I asked to downgrade from 8 classes per month to 4 classes she just refused as i did it before downgrade from unlimited to 8 items and they were fine with no issues at all ....

This place is really sucks and really doesn't worth even $1 to spend on there!!

I like that the classes are structured, and the trainers keep you moving for the entire hour. I also like that it's scalable, meaning that each person does the workout to their ability - and there are all sorts of abilities in each class. It's challenging, and as you become more fit, you can still challenge yourself a bit more.
