Orangetheory Fitness

I love OTF Milpitas! I was always pretty unmotivated and never had a consistent workout routine until I joined OTF Milpitas when they first opened. Now, I go 3-5x a week and am in the best shape of my life! Classes: The classes go for about 60 minutes and you divide your time on the treadmill, rower, and floor (free weight exercises). Every day, there is a different template for the class and different exercises so you never get bored! The coach walks each group through each exercise over the mic and also comes up to correct your form individually so you are never lost. Music is loud but upbeat and modern, and free earplugs are provided. Sometimes, there will be benchmark challenges, such a 200m row or 1 mile, and you can compare your times with your previous times in the app to see how much your fitness has improved. I went from running a 7-minute something mile to 6:22! Fastest in my life! I used to go to a generic gym and never had much motivation running on the treadmill or doing exercises by myself. OTF has given me structure and really makes working out fun for me! Staff: Super nice!! It feels welcoming that a lot of the front desk staff remembers me and knows my name. They are very nice and helpful. They also make sure to celebrate your milestones: birthdays, 15th class, 200th class -- you name it! As for the coaches, I love especially Coach Eva, Maddy, and Hilary! They always shout you out personally and encourage you to do a better job. Studio: Clean!! Air is always circulating. Never feels stuffy. Each treadmill has its own fan. Challenges: Every month, they'll have some sort of challenge for an additional fee $15-35, in which if you complete it you either get entered into a raffle, win a t-shirt, or compete for a chance to win a prize! So fun! My fondest memory is winning the 8-week transformation challenge and a first-place prize of $250. I went from 28.7% body fat to 23.9% body fat in 8 weeks! There were 2 categories of weight loss or muscle gain and divided into male and female participants, so they gave out 4 first-place prizes total, along with second and third place prizes. How encouraging! Technology: I love wearing the OTbeat burn (that you purchase separately) because it tracks your heart rate zones and calories that you burn real-time, live! It tells you if you are slacking or if you are pushing yourself appropriately. If you spend at least 12 minutes in the orange zone (84-91% of your max heart rate) then you can continue to burn calories for several hours even after your workout is completed! Cool!

I joined OTF about 1.5 months ago. I absolutely love the energy here. All the coaches motivate you to do the best you can. I love the quick ups and downs of the heart rate. I can see the difference in how my body feels now. Love the new strength and endurance I have in me now.

I am glad I joined OTF 4 months ago! I absolutely love the positive vibes here and it never feels too crowded even with a fully booked class. Great workouts, fun themed days, various challenges, and coaches who care are a plus! The facilities are clean and well maintained and I do like they have complementary items in the bathrooms and at the front desk as well as lockers and a place to shower if needed. Every single staff member I have come into contact with has been amazing and motivating. I look forward to my workouts here!

I have been coming to the Milpitas OTF for 18 months now and it's been transformational for my health and wellbeing. The studio is very professional, all the coaches are amazing, front desk super helpful. Thank you Reimo, Eva, Bonnie, Kraig!

I’ve always been one of those people who go to the gym do great for a month then never go back and OTF has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health/fitness! The front desk staff are always nice and helpful while the coaches keep you motivated and pumped each class. Shout out to Coach Eva for pushing me to lift heavier than I ever thought I could! Being able to book my classes in advance is also convenient and helps keep me accountable. Definitely recommend if you’re thinking of trying a class, go for it! :)
