Clients/Member Testimonials
The motivation from the coaches and that I am pushed beyond what I would normally do. It a community and everyone roots for one another.
Structured, different each day, coaching on form, focus on full body fitness, welcoming and friendly vibe!
Awesome coaches, perfect location, this location is run perfectly. Friendly staff that makes a point to get to know you and track your progress.
I like the variety and that all parts of the body are targeted, however, I’d love to have more abs and less arms workout. Love the music and the encouragement from coaches to keep going and give 100% on each class. Thank you guys for what you do!
Amazing people, amazing workout!
I really enjoyed that every class was different. Endurance days were always my favorite to really challenge myself and see my improvement with my fitness level. Benchmark days were also my favorites.
The fact that they are so varied. Love the data.
I like being told what to do so I don't have to think so much.
The coaches!! They are so motivating and help me push myself to help me reach my goals
Great group of coaches! Jennifer does an amazing job leading the Steele Creek site!
Ballantyne has the best coaches, support staff, and members! From the moment you walk in, go through the workout, and head out - nothing but friendliness, encouragement, and professionalism. Thank you Ballantyne Team!
Workout is absolutely top notch~~ burning fat & building ALOT of lean muscle.
Honestly, at this point, OTF has become more about mental health than physical though.
Literally, it is Orange~ Therapy, as they refer to it. The Coaches and Staff not only make absolutely sure that we get 101% out of our time; they take time to get to know us each on a personal level. They know our struggles and are ultra encouraging. They actually miss us and are concerned if we miss time.
I came to get physically fit. I’ve made life long new friends (our OTF Orange fam). Lake Norman should be way beyond proud of the Coaches & Staff. Oh, and I forgot to mention, they’re absolutely hilarious AND can really bang out a playlist. Yep, proud drinker of the ‘Orange Kool Aid’ alright.
The OTF Workouts are designed to work with all levels of fitness. If you are a beginner, there are many options to allow you to start slow and if you are experienced in workouts, you can push as hard as you can to make every workout count. The heartrate monitoring allow you to not second guess your body and give you peace of mind while working out. The coach led classes along with the multiple stations (tread, rower, weights) keep every workout interesting and challenging. I am in my 5th year of OTF and love it.
Enjoy the organized approach. Workout is intense but very satisfying.
Love OTF but don't love the 8 hour cancellation policy. For those of us with very busy work schedules it is impossible to cancel 8 hours in advance. There needs to be more flexibility around the cancellation policy. For example, Carolina Yoga only has a thirty minute cancellation policy which is very flexible for the customer.
I really enjoy how the front desk people make an effort to welcome me by name. I also really appreciate how the coaches are encouraging, and always willing to help/inform me if I am doing a lift wrong.
It is very easy to go at your own pace. With other gym classes I kept getting injured trying to keep up with my fellow members. I kept hurting my knees and back.
I love how every workout is different and challenging.
The competitive environment
The workout and instructors are great! They do an amazing job of motivating and making everyone feel welcome!
Friendly Staff and great location. Their method of Fitness really works for me. I like the structure and showing up to get my workout without any planning. Their IOS app is really well done for managing my post workout and goals.
Great workout!
Pushes you to do your best and not slack off! Well rounded. Fun. Great music.
I absolutely love your coaches - Amy, Cody and now Erica - all three are terrific, have not met Renee as she doesn't work the hours I come to class. They are helpful, encouraging and very, very knowledgeable. I enjoy the music the templates are just excellent and I feel I am getting a terrific workout! The other clients who attend are nice and friendly and the atmosphere is very comfortable. The machines are in terrific shape, everything is clean and spotless. There is enough separation between stations in all areas. I am just thrilled that I have found OTF.
Very good instruction and enjoy the variety of the workout
Coaches
The fast pace, coaches, great work out.
Workout was awesome! Still sore the day after. Can't wait for the next one!
Great coaches and comfortable environment!
I like how the workout is a full body workout. I’m not one that knows what to do on my own at the gym, so I need structure and support. The BEST part of the workout is the coach. The coach is a cheerleader and motivator and not a drill sargeant. If there’s something my body will not allow me to do, the coach is always available to give options and respectful. I never feel judged - EVER! It really is the highlight of my day.
