Best Group Fitness Studio near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This studio seems a little intimidating, but everyone here is so nice. The staff is welcoming and so friendly, makes the workout experience enjoyable. Coach Liem is the reason I will keep coming back. Very attentive, very motivating, and their coaching is great. Will definitely be back

I’ve been a member at OTF University City for 2 years and this is one of the best group fitness classes I’ve ever taken. The coaches are great and supportive (and more importantly they have updated, energetic music playlists!). The front desk is friendly and the facility is always well maintained! I would definitely recommend this location for anyone in the area!

I always feel accomplished and more energized after an Orangetheory class. The classes challenge me to push myself a little each time and the coaches help me keep going with their encouragement. And I'm enjoying this location. The staff is really friendly, helpful and just has great energy! If I tried to do this on my own, it would not be the same or have the same results... Glad to be back after my 2+year break due to the pandemic!

Love going to OTF, University City. Great coaches, support staff, and challenging workouts provide an incredible atmosphere to reach your fitness goals. Each month, the studio curates a variety of specialty workouts, benchmarks, and 90-minute classes, ensuring members stay engaged and motivated to continue their fitness journey.

The understanding of the coaches for each person's physical and psychic situation is the biggest plus of the Orangetheory "philosophy". I've only participated twice thus far, but there's a real connection I feel there with the coaches. They push everyone, yes, but not to the point of even close to breaking. There's care for who you ARE, not what you can do at a given moment. This is so key to me, as I'm coming back after a long period of time away from any gym, athletic training or physical therapy. Everybody had an immediate understanding that I need to ratchet up, step-by-step, not jump in at some really high level. There's no odd comparison, and no sense of that going on, and for that I'm deeply grateful. I appreciate this---I can gauge for myself where I need to be starting in a given session, and where I want to go without feeling pressured. Excellent!

April and Mark made my first F45 experience fantastic! The class itself was so fun and a great workout! I’ve never done a class like this before and I loved it. I will definitely be back! They also have a sauna, ice plunge, and red light which is such a perk!

Great setup with knowledgeable and personable coaches. The new racks are outstanding! Beyond the workouts, they offer cold plunge, sauna, and red light therapy—an unbeatable combination. Even when you don’t workout, you can recover. Or you can do both!

I love coming here. The coaches, particularly Meredith, are incredible. I get a much better workout in a class/group setting than I do working out on my own. This is a place that really does promote a friendly environment and I encourage anyone looking to make friends and/or get in shape to check this place out!

Omg I have been looking for a gym home for a while! F45 on Manyunk is amazing! Jonathan, Mark, Greg, Megan, and Meredith are awesome. Patient yet challenging. They set the bar high, ensure you understand the workouts and push you to keep going. My son is a certified trainer in NYC... He joined me for a class and gave the gym 2 thumbs up!

A GREAT workout. More intense than what I’m used. It’s a great balance between reasonable and intense. The coaches are great and very willing to accommodate to any needs you have. (This is coming from someone who never does cardio and lifts at my own pace)
