Very fulfilling workout
The workouts are always great and the coaches pay attention to each individual’s needs, skills and goals. I leave every class feeling strong and with a sense of accomplishment. I wasn’t a runner before I started OT, still am not ;) but I’m hooked on getting faster and improving my endurance! Plus the Benchmark workouts are a great way to bring in a little competitiveness.

would like to hear "old school" music occassionally
For one, and initially, I liked that everything was set up well (quality) and guided (coached), so that all I had to do was show up. Depending on where I was mentally/emotionally, I could pay attention to what I was doing, or I could zone out and just let it unfold. Either way, it all just happened.
As time went by, though, an unexpected benefit began to emerge. Namely, that my co-participants and I were all there for personal betterment and wellbeing...and that created a, sort of, group vibe that I've found attractive and compelling.
Specifically regarding your workout program, I very much like, relate to, and believe in that fundamental Orange Theory premise about tracking one's heartrate, intensity, and caloric burn. In comparison, I've noticed that some participants go freeform with it, not overtly monitoring those metrics. Which is fine, to each their own. And certainly some, I think particularly the veterans, have developed a good enough sense for where they are and what they're doing that they can effectively self monitor. Cool. Perhaps I'll be there someday.
In short, therefore, what I like about your workout program is the following: One, how it's set up so that all I have to do is show up. Two, the I-wanna-be-better vibe and comradery that underlies the general group make up. Three, the Orange Theory, well, theory...which I find logical, applicable, and followable.
And, for me, it's all paying off. I feel better, move better, look better and, overall, am better!
Thank you so much for all that you provide — a inviting and clean facility, great equipment, excellent guidance and, so far for me, an inspirational experience.
Most appreciatively, here's to your continued success!
Do well; be well.

PS: As a longtime coach myself (Success & Sales Coaching...go to, FredWilsonCoaching.com; podcast, Make Today Pay; book, The Third Law of Success), I would be remiss not to very favorably mention one of your Orange Theory Palm Desert coaches, Mandy Herbster. Operating on a high level of mastery, her on-it, upbeat, infectious approach along with her professional and well-developed coaching technique make her a major asset for the Orange Theory brand. For me, and I'm certain for many others, she's a big reason I show up... Go Mandy!!!
I don't have to think
I love the combination of cardio and strength in the Orange 60 classes. I love the music and the energy as well.
I only said 9 and not 10 because many of my friends wouldn't be able to endure the intensity of the class but as an avid fitness goer, it is perfect for me.
Ever changing. The classes are always different. The instructors are incredible. They are motivating and supportive.
