Love OTF. It’s been my go to gym for several years now. Great music, best coaches and fantastic workout that is different day to day. Whether you are walking, running, biking or striding, OTF is a great combination of strength and cardio.

OTF Arbo!!! So much LOVE for this place, the OTF Fam and the Orange Theory workout!
I have been a member of this studio for over 8 years, 1751 classes (as of this posting)and I still get excited each time i walk through the door.
As a health professional, I have tried many types of workouts. OTF…BY FAR is the most well rounded, efficient, challenging, safe and fun way to stay fit and challenge yourself.
It is a joy to see so many different ages and stages of life working hard to meet their own fitness goals and cheering each other on! We have members who are pro- athletes working out with 70+ crowd, young professionals, teens, couples…everyone, at any stage can grow and improve their health with OTF.
The OTF Arbo has exceptional, professional coaches who encourage, teach and care about each member. They meet you where you are without judgement. They listen and care about your goals. Head Coach Gaven is a great motivator and very knowledgeable about fitness! Coach Heidi, MC, Matt, Kayla and Faith are all exceptional and have their own unique style. The front desk staff are helpful. They keep the place clean and stocked.
OFT Arbo is like a family and I am grateful to be a part. :-)
UPDATE: 10.26.25
10-year member here — 2,092 classes and still love it! 💪 OTF Arboretum is the best!
Special shoutout to Coach Melissa — she can turns a workout into such a fun event. Her energy, creativity, and attention to detail make every class fun and memorable. She could be a party planner on the side! Melissa truly cares about her members and goes above and beyond every time.
Also love our other longtime coaches Heidi and Matt — we’re so lucky to have all three! I celebrated my 2,000th class and my OTF family celebrated right along with me.
Can’t still say enough great things about this studio, the workout, and the people! ❤️

I’m well into my third year of OTF, and this is my home studio (Matthews is also terrific!) I’m in my early sixties and wanted to maintain and improve my strength so I can pick up and chase after grandbabies, keep up on family hikes… enjoy life and strength and be injury-free for a long time! I started out walking on the tread and doing lowest weights on the floor … now I’m always a little amazed at what I can do, with this kind of atmosphere and progress-tracking motivating me: running the whole treadmill set, beating personal bests on rower challenges, moving down to heavier weights on floor work. Melissa is fave because of the energy she brings, especially with special events: decorations, treats, costumes… she’s never just phoning it in! Also love coach Heidi, another one who has been there for a long time (fitness studios are notorious for coach turnover, but these two have been coaching since I started!), and coach Alex — both have great energy and tips for better performance, avoiding energy, etc. Keep it up, OTF Arbo!!

Arbo orange theory has been a life changer for me! It’s the best hour of the morning, getting a good workout in and clearing my head before starting the day. The staff is very helpful, coaches are great, friendly faces that come often. It’s clean, class times are reliable. Recommend for any person looking to start or continue a fitness routine!
Coach Melissa for the win, along with Gaby and Christian! All great classes.

I’m coming up on ten years of working out at Orangetheory Arboretum. I like the curriculum, and I like competing with myself in the benchmark challenges, but what has kept me here isn’t just the fitness, it’s the people. There are plenty of places to exercise and take classes in Charlotte, but the OTF community is great. From friends I’ve made to the coaches it’s a great atmosphere. Coach Melissa gets the studio ready for every event or holiday, coach Heidi has been there pushing me to do better since I joined and even our new coach Christian has made a point to get to know us all and make us better. If you’ve been thinking about checking it out, you should. No matter what your goals are there’s something for everyone.

I have been a member for a few years now & I have seen improvements on my overall heart health & strength. I really enjoy seeing my calories burned & “splat” points while I’m working out! It’s like a little competitive game I play with myself. They also have fun “extra” competitions to compete throughout the year, such as Transformation Challenge, Dri-Tri, Half Marathons, and Hell Week, just to a name a few. They will email you your performance results right after class. The app is great because you can schedule your classe, access to “at home” classes/exercises & even rate the class/coach for the class that you completed, though the coaches always get an “AWESOME” in my book! They are extremely motivating to help give you that “extra” push! The classes vary, so I don’t know what I’m getting into that day, but I know I won’t be bored & it will be a good challenge. You can be a walker, jogger, runner, strider, or biker. Their goals is for you to be the best you can be! It’s a great workout & addictive! A huge shout out to my favorite Coach-Melissa! Her music, energy, and clear and concise instructions make it easy to achieve my splat point goals! She always keeps me motivated with words of encouragement. She will correct my form to avoid injuries and make sure I’m working the right muscle group.

A special shoutout to Coach Melissa — my birthday twin! 🎉 She brings incredible energy, great music, and always gives helpful feedback to push me just the right amount. Her classes are fun, motivating, and leave you feeling stronger every time. If you’re thinking about trying OTF, this studio and its team are the best around!

Absolutely love Orangetheory, and my home studio at the Arboretum is simply the best! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. The workout is built to suit any age group or fitness level. The coaches always have options for you if there is something you cannot do. Coach Melissa is so authentic, and I like that she is more “seasoned” because she knows how the workouts feel and knows how to push me to be my best but not make me feel bad if I cannot do what a 20 year old can do anymore. I always leave feeling accomplished after her classes!

Orangetheory Arbo is absolutely the best place I have ever found to workout. I have been going consistently for almost 10 years. It never gets old because of the community you build, the workouts are always different, and you can easily track your progress through benchmarks in the studio and results in the app. I have been to quite a few studios, because once you are a member at one you are a member at all. I have to say Arbo is my favorite, mainly due to the longevity of the coaches there. Coach MC (Melissa) is my favorite. I love her music and she has the best theme classes.

Just like the saying “never miss a Monday”… I say never miss a class when MC is coaching! She brings the perfect mix of energy, motivation, and fun that makes waking up for a 5:00 AM class completely worth it every single time. MC pushes you to give your best, celebrates your progress, and somehow makes even the hardest workouts fly by.
Orangetheory itself is such an amazing workout…every class is different, it’s science-backed, and it gives you the perfect balance of cardio and strength to see real results. The energy, the community, and the coaching make it unlike any other workout out there.
Orangetheory Arboretum is simply the BEST!

If you need to get in a fun 110% workout Check out coach Alex’s class. Coach Matt is the chief! He’ll get your form perfect now matter the exercise. Coach Melissa someone eases you into a workout at 6:05 on a Monday. It’s a great way to start the week! If you’re looking for the best playlist try coach Christian takes the cake!!! Need a new workout to try? Coach Gabi has your back!

I like the fact that it is for all ages and fitness levels, go in on a Saturday and you will see parents working out with there teenagers and everyone is having fun and being challenged at the same time. Coach Melissa is my favorite but love Heidi and Matt as well and they have been there for years showing that they truly care for their members.

Orangetheory has been amazing for me. The workouts are always challenging but fun, and I love how the mix of cardio and strength training keeps things from ever getting boring. I’ve seen real results and feel stronger and more energized than I have in years. It’s nice to just show up and be told which exercises to do, and it be a little different every day.
Big thanks to Christian for helping me get started and making those first classes less intimidating. He’s an awesome coach. I’ve also taken classes with Melissa and Heidi and they’re both great too…super encouraging and motivating.
If you’re thinking about trying it, I’d say go for it. The coaches and the atmosphere make a huge difference and it’s easily one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health, both mentally and physically.

Stay away from this scammy business! You'll be one minute late past the allowed time, and they won't allow you into the class so you lose around $20+ you pay per class, that's robbery from the way I look at it plus a complete waste of my time as I live over half an hour away, and with the unpredictable traffic, it's not always possible to predict your arrival time up to a minute and it feels really unfair and wrong to not be allowed into the class after having spent a considerable amount of time to get there and the high cost per class! Save your money and do NOT support this overpriced scammy business with the rigid unaccommodating and questionable policies that essentially are put in place to maximize their profits at the expense of their members that they obviously do not care about whatsoever! Stay away from the Arboretum location too where the studio manager Luke is dismissive and completely unhelpful! If I could give zero or negative rating to this place, I would!

OTF has double charged us for months and refuses to refund our money. We transferred to the area and Arboretum told us they would handle our membership transfer. They correctly did my transfer but messed up my wife’s and never got it transferred from our old club. Instead we were charged for both our old club and new club for months. We brought it to the managers attention and she admitted there was an error in the transfer but told us we needed to take it up with the old club. The previous club told us it was arboretums fault and wouldn’t do anything. Therefore we were stuck with 6 months of duplicate charges and no one willing to help. I shouldn’t have to sort out their internal issues that caused a transfer to charge us at both gyms. This is their internal error not anything we did. To add insult to injury they continued to charge us while they investigated and when we told them to cancel her membership both clubs continued to charge the termination notification months. Do Better!
Revised: I appreciate the manager reaching out after this approach and offering to refund half of the amount we had been double charged for. While I certainly appreciate this it still leaves us with bearing half the fee. I have gone ahead and changed my rating from one star to 3 stars due to this reach out.

Zero stars. My wife and I were sold a 30 day $99 dollar trial. We cancelled after 28 days because it didn't match our needs and after calling to cancel, we were ignored after 1 call and 1 email. The company then responded that we are to give 30 day notice to cancel and they will be taking another months payment even though we didn't use their services.. So it's a 60 day trial for $260?
Why were we sold a 30 day trial? Did their employees engage in fraud or is that the company's policy to defraud. If I gave 30 day cancellation notice the day I signed up would I get the $99 dollar price or ?....
Bottom line is we were charged for services we didn't get and lied to about the initial commitment.
Also I'm wondering how they received great reviews on Google but everywhere else the reviews are about the company overcharging and non responsive. How long will this review last?

OTF used to be great place to workout prior to the Empire investment group coming in and ruining everything in the entire eastern region. I have been going to orange theory for nearly 10 years and recently quit after a long excruciating process. Kayla, the studio manager, purposely makes it difficult for members to downgrade their memberships or cancel by intentionally lying and not being responsive in order to make you pass your billing dates and collect as much money from members as possible. She has done this to so many people I know and has also unfairly caused the best workers to leave or get fired. She is extremely toxic and part of the wider issue of the horrific culture created by Empire. All empire cares about is quantity of locations and making as much money as possible. They don’t care about their amazing coaches or other staff and most importantly their members. Recently they have gotten rid of the best coaches and there is a significant amount of turnover occurring at each location because no one can deal with the toxicity anymore. I know for a fact there is about to me a mass exodus of members and people are looking at other fitness studios they can join other than OTF. All the positive reviews here are not genuine, and were only written because they made it a requirement in order to get additional points in fitness challenge that was occurring. DO NOT GO HERE!! If you care about orange theory surviving , I urge others to contact corporate and tell them the truth about what is going on.

Orange Theory is the best! I'm good at numbers so went to chat GPT for help with words in my review. Here is a poem and I agree! Hope you enjoy!
In a vibrant space where energy thrives,
Where heartbeats sync and passion arrives,
Orange Theory, a beacon of light,
Ignites the spirit, ignites the fight.
With coaches guiding, every step, every mile,
We journey together, all with a smile.
From treadmill sprints to rowing strong,
We push ourselves, where we belong.
Heart rates climbing, but spirits soar,
In this orange-lit studio, we explore
Our limits, our strengths, our inner flame,
Finding our power, reclaiming our name.
In a symphony of sweat, determination rings,
As we push through challenges, spread our wings.
Encouragement flows, a constant stream,
In this supportive community, we dream.
In the midst of the grind, a coach's care,
They bring heavier weights, a gesture rare.
No need to pause, no need to stall,
They support us, ensuring we give our all.
With a knowing smile, they lend a hand,
Helping us reach goals we've planned.
Their guidance, like a beacon, leads the way,
In this Orange Theory, where we come to play.
So here's to the coaches, steadfast and true,
Who uplift us in all that we do.
With their support, we soar to new heights,
In Orange Theory's vibrant, empowering lights.

Great place to workout with accountability and no judgement. You aren't competing with the person next to you, you are there to make yourself better. Sometimes I go for physical health and strength other times I go for mental health and strength! Been a member for years and love that I can find a studio anywhere and take a class when traveling!

I started last November (2023) and couldn't say how much I'm in love with Orangetheory! The workouts are soo good and I get very excited every morning to know what's in for today. All coaches at Arboretum are trained professionals, and help you to scale up in your fitness journey. I'm so proud of myself to be able to be consistent, committed, to challenge myself to see a new ME as I work towards building a healthy lifestyle and routine and a BIG Thanks to Orangetheory and the crew for helping me do it!

"Orange Theory Fitness has completely transformed my approach to exercise and wellness. From the moment I stepped into their vibrant, welcoming studio, I knew this was not your average gym. The classes are brilliantly structured, offering a perfect blend of cardiovascular and strength training that is both challenging and incredibly rewarding. What sets Orange Theory apart is their unique heart rate monitored training, ensuring you're always working at your optimal intensity level to maximize results and increase energy.
The coaches are truly the heart of the experience. They are not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely caring and motivational, pushing you to achieve your personal best while ensuring you maintain proper form. The real-time feedback on your performance, thanks to their cutting-edge technology, is a game-changer, allowing you to track your progress and stay motivated.
Each class feels like a personal journey within a supportive community, where everyone is encouraged regardless of their fitness level. The quality of the workouts, and the tangible results make it absolutely worth my efforts.
If you're looking for a fitness routine that's engaging, effective, and filled with positive energy, Orange Theory Fitness is the place to be. It's more than just a workout; it's a powerful experience that has a lasting impact on your physical and mental health."

I love OTF at Arboretum! The classes have really helped me improve my health and fitness. I started as a walker on the treadmill. Two years and 200 classes later, I can actually run a 10 minute mile! (At 49 after 2 kids, I didn’t think I’d ever run that fast again.) Plus I’ve lost 15 lbs! The coaches are excellent. Kayla, Melissa, Gavin and Faith, thanks so much for motivating me!

Five years later and I still I love everything about OTF Arboretum! Love the instructors, varied workouts, loud music, performance summaries and more. The workouts are always different which keeps it interesting and makes the time go by faster. My location is very convenient and I love that the schedule allows for so many options. As a mom with kids, I can't always attend at the same time every day. Having a schedule with so many class times - and an app that's so easy to use - helps me book a workout easily and adjust it as needed. OrangeTheory is an all-around win/win for me!

After 6 months as a member, I can genuinely say that Orangetheory is a fun, energetic and most importantly effective workout! Melissa, Kayla and Faith are my usual coaches and all three (and others) make the workouts fun and give just the right level of encouragement and form-correction to keep me pushing myself without risking injury. Every day you get a unique workout and you can scale it to your own limits while the technology quietly keeps track of your results so you can see how you are improving your body and adjust up or down. Each exercise can be adjusted to your individual abilities which is how the classes support both men and women of all ages and fitness-levels. Personally, I started out a power-walker but now jog/run most of the treadmill time as I have lost weight and gained cardio endurance. If you are looking for a workout that is guided, fun, effective, and keeps you engaged so you don't give up, Orangetheory Arboretum is for you! See you there!

I love OTF because it makes you feel like you accomplished something at your level and comfort zone. A lot of gyms build a culture where unless you’re extremely fit and in shape, you don’t belong. Here, the coaches are supportive of you doing your best where you are, rather than an idealized version of where you should be. This welcoming environment builds confidence and makes it attractive to go again and again. This workout is usually the best part of my day—all because I finished it!
