As someone who has been a member for nearly two years I have watched MANY members leave this studio in the past year for gyms that have more class offerings and more consistent coaching. The members of this studio deserve an owner that is present and pays attention to the quality of the product. This studio has lacked consistent coaching, members’ favorite coaches being relocated to other surrounding studios. Classes being canceled because of “lack of coaches” or because only 3 people have pre-booked when the studio has a consistent group of members who book the morning of classes. Price chopping membership fees for new members while those of us who have been consistent members don’t get recognized for loyalty. It is VERY clear as a member that the owner of this studio does not give this studio (outdoor sign has been flashing for two years, there are machines broken, a tv that hasn’t worked in over a month), its staff (front desk and coaching turnover), nor the loyal dues paying members the time or energy it deserves.

The front desk staff and coaches that are consistent are fabulous! The members that attend classes here have great energy! This studio deserves better and if OTF made this feedback easier to give on its own platform I would have done so in that format — but here we are.

Javi at the front desk is fantastic! He's always upbeat, quick with check-ins, and goes out of his way to answer questions about classes—makes starting your day there a breeze. And Coach Chris? He's a game-changer! With his high-energy vibe, expert guidance on form, and personalized encouragement, he pushes the group to new heights while maintaining a fun and inclusive atmosphere. I've seen significant improvements in my power and stamina thanks to his coaching. If you're in Manchester and want a supportive, results-driven gym, OTF is unbeatable.

I have never been the most athlete person. I have always tried to go to regular gyms. Just felt boring. I have been a member of OTF for almost a year. I love the exercises, the challenges, the members and the coaches. I feel accomplished after every work out. I highly recommend OTF. Plus, it’s fun that you can visit other OTFs in other states. Everyone should try it! 😉

Started a year ago not being able to run at all. To running 1.5 miles in 13:25 yeeeeeees!!!

Orange Theory has been the best thing that has happened to my body, soul and mind. Not only has their workouts transformed my body to getting to and maintaining my body weight, it has made me stronger, more confident and feeling great in my own skin!!
OTF Manchester goes way beyond that. The coaches and staff just don’t care about you as a client but get to know you as a person in and outside of the gym. The coaches know how to motivate you in a positive way and make workouts fun. And my fellow gym peeps are the best and have become friends that I look forward to seeing everyday and push me as well. OTF Manchester is truly a family that I am so happy to be a part of. Thanks OTF!! 🧡🧡🧡

OrangeTheory has been the one consistent workout I’ve been doing for the past few years. The instructors are empowering, the energy is always high (even at 5am!) and the friends I’ve made are just an added bonus. If you’re looking to switch up your workout routine, or just try something new, definitely give OrangeTheory a shot! 💪🏼🧡

If you’re wondering if you should join OrangeTheory or not, just do it! You will not regret it! I was so intimidated to start but I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! I love it and I have a feeling it is going to totally change my life and my physique! It’s definitely going to help me get wedding ready!

Also, if you’re able to, try out a class with Coach Brian! He’s my absolute favorite trainer at Manchester!

Orangetheory’s membership is definitely pricier than what you would pay for a typical gym membership, but Orangetheory is no typical gym! I’ve never felt so comfortable in a shared workout space as I do here. The community is amazing, the workouts are challenging, and the coaches push you to discover new limits. To me, that is completely worth the cost. (Plus, I’ve been to over 6 studios in CT/MA, and can confidently say the Manchester team is by far the best! 🥰)

With consistency here and the versatility of every work out you can really get a great workout. The trainers are super friendly and helpful in each class.

Only downside is it's decently expensive, that you'd really have to make at least four classes a week for it to feel worth it. Even so, it is a great investment in your own health ❤️!

I just started going to Orange Theory this past January and I’m obsessed! I originally started going because I felt like my own workout routine started getting repetitive and I was lacking some motivation, but now I genuinely look forward to going each and every time! I know that all I have to do is show up and one of the amazing coaches will guide me through an awesome workout…can’t recommend enough!

I joined Orangetheory back in November 2022, finding that I wasn't making the progress I wanted to going to "self-service" gyms like Planet Fitness, as well as struggling to find the motivation to go. Initially I was hesitant because of the high price. but I relented to try a free trial class, and was immediately hooked. The classes are typically about one hour in length, and consist of three sections: floor exercises (e.g. weights, abs, resistance bands), row machine, and treadmill which you can choose to run or walk on. Classes are very structured in that you are told exactly what to do during every minute of class by a rotating coach, something I found I liked (and still do).

The coaching staff is comprised of all high energy, friendly people who clearly like doing what they do. Orangetheory does a good job of making you feel welcome, staff will learn your name and give you a friendly greeting every time you go. Coaches pay attention and give you alternative exercises if you struggle with one, and always have an encouraging attitude that makes you want to keep working hard during class.

Classes themselves are mixed up enough to keep it interesting, with the exercises varying but keeping the same format of "floor - row - treadmill". I've been going for 6 months now and haven't found that it's gotten boring which was an initial concern of mine. They also mix in some "benchmark" exercises where you test yourself to see how how fast you can run a mile, how many meters you can row in a set time, etc, which gives you some nice data to see how you've improved over time. There are also "specialty" workouts which introduce additional challenges that again keep things interesting. You can make class as easy or difficult as you want with no judgement from other classmates or the coaches themselves, making OTF good for beginners and advanced athletes alike. No one bats an eye if you get tired during a running section and need to walk, or need to put a weight down and catch your breath.

Another big mechanic of OTF is the heart rate monitor, which they will sell to you for a one-time payment of $125. Wearing the HRM in class provides you with your real-time heart rate data, which goes into five colored zones depending on how hard your heart is working, starting from grey and moving eventually to red. The fourth zone is orange which OTF claims is the optimal exercise zone, and the game you play is trying to get 12 out of the 55 minutes of class work in this orange zone. There's also an app you can download and get all sorts of additional data for people who like that sort of thing (I find it interesting).

The main drawback of OTF for most is going to be the price. The subscription is already expensive, going as high as $180/month for unlimited classes; there are cheaper options which will limit how many classes you can go to in a month (I believe 8 classes/month was $100 or $120). The HRM band costs you another $125, meaning there can be a high upfront cost (sometimes they run promotions which negate some of this). Some of the specialty events cost an additional $15-25 to participate in (such as their infamous Hell Week workouts). Sometimes they'll whack you $12 if you miss a class you signed up for. My one complaint of OTF remains that you feel nickel and dimed at times, but at the same time I find the high price keeps me motivated to go. If I don't go 3-4x a week, I feel I'm not getting my money's worth and make myself go in.

For me, OTF has worked better than I could have hoped, and has been worth the high cost, resulting in me dropping significant weight and being in better shape than I have been in years. The people are friendly and the workouts are really intense, and most important take out a lot of guesswork I got sick of doing at the regular gym. If you're the type that does fine going to a Big Sky or Edge and getting a workout in, it's probably not worth paying the money to OTF. If you think a structured, instructor-led workout would benefit you, I'd say try a class here.

I joined orange theory just three months before my wedding day as a last ditch effort to get in the best shape I could for my big day. I was feeling unmotivated and had no idea what I was doing at my former gym. The workouts at orange theory are purposeful, fun, and they burn so good. The feeling after getting all of my splat points in class was honestly giving me such a rush that it had me signing up immediately for my next class. I saw results quickly and I was totally snatched in my wedding gown. The energy in the room during the workout is so electric, and the hour just goes by quickly. The coaches are energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable. The music they play is up beat and the perfect volume. The lighting is comfortably dim in the room with a warm orange glow - absolutely immaculate vibes. The staff at Manchester OTF are professional and they make you feel very welcome. If you are looking for a perfectly structured workout and to get in the best shape of your life I would highly recommend this studio

I like how you are in a group setting, and even though you are all doing the same circuit, everyone goes at their own pace -so you never feel like you have to rush to catch up. I also like how one is able to monitor their progress via the screen. the coaches are also super helpful, but don't single you out in case you need correction -they encourage you!

Great place to workout and staff is friendly. Just make sure if you ever cancel your account, you triple check the process. I cancelled in April in person at this location because I moved across the country to an area where there is no OTF and apparently the staff member only delayed my account 60 days so was charged an additional two month (June and July). Called the gym and all they could say was sorry about that but nothing we can do. So I am paying two months to go to oTF when there isn’t even one close to where I live.

I'm not a fan of working out, but I look forward to going to every single class and feel even better when I leave. It's motivating without being competitive against others, just yourself. The coaches explain everything to ensure you don't get hurt, but achieve your optimum workout for your ability, correcting your form along the way if necessary. Newbie, but loving it.

This is a great fitness studio! The coaches are fantastic. I have taken classes with Mike, Chris, Erica and David and they are all great! This is not the cheapest program out there but for those of you who need a coach who can motivate you - this is the place! The classes are typically offered in a 2G or 3G format but they all include running, rowing and some strength training. Highly recommend this location!

I was apprehensive about trying this approach to my fitness goals because I didn’t feel up to the challenge. After meeting the coach and office staff, my confidence was boosted by their cheerful response to my anxiety.

I like that every OTF workout is different. It never gets boring. All of the coaches are motivating everyone individually and as a class which I feel is going above and beyond when they are also running a class, keeping people safe while watching their form and keeping the energy in the room high. The music is always great and different for each class! I know I can go to an OTF class and leave feeling great!!

The coaches are knowledgeable & supportive... the workouts are challenging but doable. The front desk staff are friendly & welcoming. They are building an incredibly supportive community.

The classes are just great! I find myself trying and doing things I would never do on my own... and I’m getting results! Thanks OTF for being awesome!
