I had an excellent FIRST TIME experience here! I took the Orange 3G class with Angel at the East Memphis location and it was perfect! I was so surprised I could handle 90% of the activities. It was fast-paced but I caught on, plus, I was still able to ask questions so that I didn’t feel completely out of the loop. If you’re on the fence, do it anyway and bring friends!

Visiting from the Reston, VA location — which is my new home studio.Came here on Christmas Eve. Last visited: Dec’ 23.Coach was MM. It was a fun x-mas themed workout. Coach was dressed as Santa.Workout template was an x-mas theme, with gifts on the big screen, being unwrapped in real time. The surprises were numbers, something to look forward to, or to dread. They represent number of reps, or inclines in the case of treadmill section.This was hard workout with inclines and reps in double digits, but also force me to push myself. It help me to realize that I can achieve (and sustain) a pace in double digits with 8% incline — probably my limit for now, but great to know that it is possible. Solid but tiring work out.How I would rate coach? About average, didn’t talk to me in particular or correct my form on the floor work outs, but seemed to be interacting with others at times. I’ll give it a pass.Front desk, were very friendly to me, and had form for new studio visit ready for me when I arrived in morning. Overall pretty jovial and nice enough. Nothing else to add.All in all, I enjoyed the work out, even with the inclines and high rep count, was physically and mentally exhausting, but I enjoyed it here at the studio in East Memphis, TN location.Convenient times and location, in my case. I would also recommend this studio, as overall my experience was positive, even if I would say that they need more variety and enthusiasm in the coaches here. But the front desk, work out, and studio experience itself was solid.

The front desk girls are amazing. They work with you and make you feel welcomed. The coaches are also amazing. Everyone's just really nice at this location!

I visited this studio from charlotte, nc. the power had gone out the day before so the microphone and music couldn’t work at the same time. the coach made the experience very enjoyable and had to coach us without music or cues at the same time but it was great! very professionally handled and a great experience as a cross regional!

I can't rate the gym itself as I did not get a chance to use the facility. Instead, what follows is my experience with the Orange Theory on Poplar in East Memphis.Orange Theory advertises a free first workout and I signed up for thurs morning to try them out. Online it says to arrive 30 minutes early to fill out paperwork.I arrived 25 minutes early. Paperwork was one sheet, front and back.I got done with the first page when the receptionist asked "almost done? xx here (don't remember her name) is your coach and wants to show you the equipment before class."I said 'just finished with the front.' Then looked at the back and it was a full page of disclaimer, in fine print. So it would take a while to read.3 minutes later receptionist said that I really needed to meet with coach now and he complained that i was 15 minutes late this morning. He re-iterated their policy of new people arriving 30 minutes early. I showed him the paper and said "a few minutes more. a have a full page to read." he complained again. I said "maybe you want to me re-schedule?" I was being facetious. He said "yes, that's a good idea since you were so late" Honestly, I am used to gym people trying to GET business rather than DEFLECT it.Coach lady chimed in "since you are so worried about the disclaimer maybe this isn't the gym for you." I replied that I wasn't worried about it at all; I simply have a policy of reading things before I sign them.Receptionist guy was cheerfully looking at options for re-scheduling as I walked past him and left.

Avoid Mary Margaret - no motivation- speaks in monotone - if you need help it’s an inconvenience for her.She doesn’t coach she just points to a TV and says go for it.The culture and teaching at this location has fallen off a cliff over the last year.The only good teacher left is Morgan and if you are lucky another location will share a coach for a class.

Pretty kool gym! The owners have to be some real meatheads i had a hard time finding 2.5's, 5's and even 10's!! LoL 45's were everywhere! All jokes aside this is probably one of the best gyms I've been to. I just wish the parking lot was bigger!!

Really enjoy Orangetheory Fitness! Great community where people know your name and enjoy being there--even when they're working up a sweat at 5am. Recommended!

The studio manager was accomodating when I informed her that the watch orange theory lakeland gave me was not working, they would allow me to borrow their watch of no charge, until the lakeland studio "figured out" the issue.This studio is more popular, so more folks. I like their class offering times, more options than the Lakeland one. They also have a fat to muscle ratio machine.Docked off one star, because sometimes the equipment screen on the treadmill does not show your heart rate, etc. instead it populates into a blank screen. Hopefully all the equipment firmware is updated soon to reflect the accurate screens.
