“Where else can you get a great workout led by motivating coaches and also get to know your neighbors? In one hour, I get cardio and strength training and I don’t even have to think about it. The time flies by. I am stronger and more confident than when I started. This studio has a friendly staff and a great vibe, especially in the mornings. I’m a huge fan.”
“I absolutely love my Orangetheory Fitness studio in Tenleytown! The studio has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like a second home. The studio itself is clean and beautifully maintained. The new coaching staff is phenomenal! They are motivating, and bring such fresh energy to every class. Whether you’re a first-timer or a longtime OTF member, they make sure you feel seen, supported, and challenged in all the right ways.”
“My First Class Was Amazing! I just took my first class at Orangetheory Tenleytown and I couldn’t be more impressed! The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment I walked in. They made sure I understood how everything worked, set me up with the heart rate monitor, and checked in with me throughout the workout to make sure I was feeling good. The coach was super motivating and explained all the exercises clearly, which made it easy to follow along even though it was my first time. What really stood out, though, was the community—everyone was so friendly and encouraging. I didn’t feel out of place at all, and it really felt like a team atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend this location if you’re new or just looking for a great place to work out with good vibes and great people.”
