I was a little intimidated about joining Orangetheory before I took the plunge...the orange lighting in online images looked intense and I imagined the environment to be unnecessarily loud and in-your-face. Well, after deciding my home workouts weren't cutting it and it was worth investing in my health and fitness as I neared a milestone birthday, I decided to take a free trial class and I'm so glad I did. Coach Laura gave me extra attention my initial class and made sure I knew what to do, and she and all of the other coaches I've taken classes from (Anna, Keaton, Mitchell) are great at explaining each exercise beforehand, offering modifications if needed, and gently correcting your form to make sure you're engaging the correct muscles. The music keeps you motivated in the best way and being in a group setting--the part I thought I would hate-- gives you that extra push as well. There are people of all ages, sizes, and abilities there and the vibe is very supportive. Also, the format is great in that you are changing stations and intensities frequently enough that it keeps things interesting and before you know it the hour is over. Sam, Halley, and other front desk staff are so friendly and I leave class so pumped up and feeling like I can conquer the world. I never expected to love working out so much, wish I'd signed up sooner!

OTF Shoreline is a welcoming and supportive community. The coaches make the classes challenging and fun. I know I’m going to get a great workout every time I take a class. I’ve been going for 9 years and I still love it.

Friends and family are likely tired of me talking about Orange Theory, yet if something works you want to share it. I went to my free trial class 4 months ago, telling myself I would give it a solid 2 months to evaluate. (I received a promo that was essentially BOGO.)
Having not gone to my home gym in nearly two years after an emergency surgery, I was only able to do about two of their 2G classes a week. Everything felt sore. I asked a member when it stopped hurting all the time, and she replied that it doesn’t, you just get used to it.
Two months in I was doing 3-5 classes a week, and overhead my daughter tell my son “yeah she goes like everyday.” I even went this week to an OT out of state while on vacation. (You can join classes at any location on the all-you-can-take-class plan.)
All the coaches (Anna, Keaton, Laura, and Mitchell) are patient and encouraging without being patronizing. They give modifications and help with adjustments, weight suggestions, pacing, etc. They figure out what motivates you as an individual.
The studio staff (Julie, Lauren, Olivia, and Sam) greet you by name every class and remember your preferences. Both the staff and coaches let you know about upcoming OT signature challenges and themed weeks and months. You can be entered for prizes and earn OT merch for completing competitions.
Since joining I’ve participated in nearly every challenge and benchmark, including a rowing one today. Coach Laura gave extra attention on my second attempt, and was genuinely impressed (and maybe even a little amazed!) that I took a full second off my previous time.
Yesterday I completed my 50th class in exactly 4 months, and was greeted by a brag board with my name on it. The other participants stayed briefly after class to take a photo with me to celebrate my milestone. I hope the coaches and studio attendants realize how much this means to me, and how I have improved my wellness in this short time.

I have been an OTF Shoreline member for about a month and a half and I am loving it! The coaches and staff and welcoming and helpful, the workouts are challenging but fun, and most of all I actually go! I tried a (cheaper) traditional gym membership but I would have one or two good weeks and then skip it for months at a time. Since joining, I have been going consistently every week and am seeing progress for the first time. I have really appreciated for flexible the heart rate zone model makes the class. I was never the most athletic kid and gym class in high school destroyed my relationship with exercise because I was expected to perform at the same level everyone else. This meant I was pushing my heart rate to be dangerously high for long stretches of time, resulting in throwing up, my vision blacking out, and overall misery. I thought that was just how exercise was for everyone, all the time. I couldn't have been more wrong! At OTF, I am able to challenge myself at just the right level, and the coaches encourage me to stay safe. The coaches have also been really helping in working on my form during strength training. They know just what to say to guide me. I recommend OTF Shoreline to anyone who struggles with consistency or feeling clueless in a traditional gym setting!

Great place to get fit. This OrangeTheory location stands out for its helpful, personable staff—from coaches to studio managers and sales associates—who create a welcoming and supportive environment for all fitness levels. It’s not overcrowded, and many of the staff take classes themselves, which reinforces their belief in the program. The vibe is down-to-earth, not a “selfie studio”—people are here to work out, not show off. The location is also convenient, with easy access to SR 99 (Aurora) and I-5.
OrangeTheory’s method lets you participate at your own pace while monitoring fat and carb burn with real-time feedback. Compared to other fitness options, it’s less boring than Peloton, less aggressively competitive than CrossFit, while being more intense than Barre, and more running-focused than F45.
With consistent attendance (4–5 times a week), a high-protein diet, and good sleep, I gained 6–7 lbs of muscle and lost about 10 lbs of fat in 9 months—even starting from a decent baseline. You can absolutely see results here.
The coaching team is a big part of the experience. Anna is my favorite coach—super knowledgeable about workouts, diet, and recovery and truly cares about people. Mitchell is outstanding at form correction to help avoid injuries and get more from each movement. Laura and guest coach Anthony bring great energy and fun, and both Dian and Keaton are solid, kind, and well-rounded coaches.
On the studio side, Olivia is incredibly friendly and positive and always makes me feel welcome, not just as a gym member but as a person. Halley and Julie (studio managers) do a great job keeping the studio running smoothly and making sure events are well-communicated. Sam and Lauren are also very kind, helpful, and responsive.
Overall, this is a great community and one of the best places in the area to build real fitness.

I joined OT Shoreline 4 months ago and I’m definitely seeing results. Feeling stronger and started running for the first time ever which I didn’t think was possible. I love that you get a full body workout out with each class.

I cannot recommend Orangetheory Fitness Shoreline enough – it's truly been a game-changer for me. For the first time in my life, I've found a workout routine I genuinely enjoy and can stick with. I'm 2.5 years in, and there's no end in sight! When I started, I was pretty out of shape, but the progressive nature of the workouts has allowed me to continuously push and challenge myself as I've gotten stronger.
The front desk staff here are absolutely incredible. Julie, Sam, Olivia, and Lauren are consistently helpful, encouraging, and truly make you feel like part of the family. They greet me by name every single class and even remember my favorite stations, which is such a thoughtful touch!
And the coaches? They're simply amazing. Anna, Mitchell, Laura, and Keaton excel at creating a high-energy, inclusive, supportive, and welcoming community. They have a remarkable ability to make every class accessible, no matter your skill level or athletic ability, while also knowing exactly when to push you if that's what you're looking for.
I'll definitely keep coming back to Orangetheory Shoreline. If you're looking for a positive and supportive community focused on personal growth and challenge, I highly encourage you to try it out!

Very disappointing experience, drove 45 min from Bellevue to Shoreline to attend a class. I was 5 min and 30 second behind schedule time due the heavy traffic. Was told to head home since i was late by 5 min. Will consider canceling my membership!

I finally decided to join a gym since it was hard to keep a consistent routine on my own. It is pricey but I've managed to stay consistent which makes it worth it.
The schedule works great for me, the coaches are all encouraging and fun, and it's definitely a very good workout. I like having the heart rate monitor to help me gauge how hard to push myself and to see my cardio health improve over time.
I like that every class is a little different and the benchmarks and challenges they do are motivating.

Highly recommend! Great personalized customer service at the front desk, and attentive, motivating instruction from the coaches. Head coach and studio management are amazing and they create a fun, motivating, and healthy environment for their members. I’ve been an OTF member for over 6 years, 2 years at this studio, and have only positive feedback about the program and the people who make it a great experience.

Nothing but good things to say on month 3 of really giving OT a chance! I never thought I'd be a group workout class person but OT really is different. Folks of all different fitness levels, genders, ages, etc fill up the classes and no one makes you feel like you're not in shape enough to be there. Coach Ana is a wonderful motivator and I'm excited to continue my fitness journey with OT!
Down 120 pounds in 11 months and really starting to focus on my cardio health and fitness ability to keep up with all of life's adventures!

NEVER AGAIN
I'm extremely disappointed with the customer service I received as a long-time member. After suffering an Achilles injury that kept me out for nearly two months, I continued to pay for my membership in anticipation of returning, but ultimately decided to cancel. I reached out to cancel, expecting understanding given my family's loyalty and the business I've brought in. Instead, I was met with rudeness and a lack of empathy from the representative. Despite explaining my situation, I was charged for another month. The policy may be what it is, but the way it was handled was unacceptable. Unfortunately, this experience has led me to decide that my family will not be returning to this gym.
