Great staff, always very welcoming, most instructors are helpful when you asked them to give you tips. Business is very one-sided and not very customer focuses . They change classes without notifying you, changing standard 2 group 60min workouts to 3 group 60min classes, which typically are very busy (45 people in a pretty small gym) and create a lot of downtime . They tell you that you can bring your own HR monitor and a lot of people do but they changed their internal software and new members basically can only work with their own HR monitors if you want them on the screens, ($100 for the arm version). I used by Garmin HR Watch as it shows you on your arm in which zone you are at (red, orange etc etc) and it provides you with more functions for more sports (heights, swimming pace, biked trail performance, steps, etc etc). Parking is a pretty difficult one, they don't provide enough parking on site, so you have to choose between a parking somewhere across the street (South Blvd), BoA or Lowes, not a dealbreaker, but clearly not enough space for the current demand. Overall OT is a fantastic way to get fit, but I'll check others places due to the current experiences, ....

Been going here about 4 months, and the best part about it is that I actually go! Lol! Since you can use the app with their heart rate monitor outside the classes, I can verify that I definitely go harder in class than when I workout on my own. The instructors have all been pretty great, so no complaints there. A few critical observations: another review was right, parking at this location is not sufficient. I happen to work within walking distance, so that’s why it hasn’t been an issue. There are also not enough showers/restrooms for people to get ready before/after. I have had to sit around for 10+ minutes many times, which is a little aggravating on my lunch hour. That said, I still really enjoy the gym, and it’s working for me. Haha, not being able to cancel a class at the last minute is actually pretty nice for getting out of stuff sometimes too ;) (read: going out to lunch and blowing my daily calories right out of the water!) Oh, and this place is also REALLY clean! I have never been there when they were not cleaning, and the culture is definitely that you wipe down your equipment EVERY TIME. Nice for my peace of mind.

Orangetheory South End is my home away from home. This studio has truly changed my life for the better. There is a real sense of community here, which leads to a healthy dose of accountability as well. I want to show up and work hard for my OTF family and most importantly, myself. I’ve been to many OTF studios, and while OTF itself is an awesome workout wherever you go, this studio is on another level in terms of energy, motivation, goal-setting, and inspiration. The coaches are always energetic and very encouraging; they know how and when to push you without being overbearing. I mean how many places can you go where a coach recognizes that you’ve increased your running speed or you’re getting stronger and grabbing heavier weights? You will find that here, along with a few friends too ;) If you’ve been considering trying Orangetheory, this is your sign to go check it out. You will be welcomed with open arms, treadmills, rowers, and weights! Even my dog likes to visit!

Great facility, clean, friendly and well managed. I travel all over so when an OTF facility stands out, I like to recognize them for being rockstars! The front desk staff was super friendly and they hade my cross-regional paperwork waiting for me when I arrived. That’s never happened before! They gave me an overview of the facility and answered a few questions for me regarding the class. Coach Eleni is true rockstar. Managed the 3G class flawlessly on a difficult switch day and kept the room engaged and motivated. Decent music mix, would have liked a little older stuff occasionally just to mix things up a little. She came over and talked to me, asked my name, where I was from and welcomed me to Charlotte OTF. That’s huge, so many OTF’s I go to just ignore me because they don’t recognize me. So when I run into a coach like Eleni, it makes my day!! Thank you Charlotte-South End for such a great experience!

The speed and tempo at which the workout is conducted is what I like the most. Classes are awesome and are over before you know it. Workouts leave me feeling exhausted and exhilarated all at the same time. You can’t ask for better than that. Zach is probably the best trainer I have experienced in my short membership so far. With Zach I truly get the sense that he really loves his job and helping people. If there ever was a template of great trainer he is it. Eleni is right up there with Zach. They are 1 and 1a. Of course I cannot let it go without mentioning that Emilie is wonderful. She was a huge help with getting me acclimated to OTF and not sure I would have done it without her. Overall Charlotte South End has a great family atmosphere and I am very happy to be apart of that family. I was welcomed with open arms and a genuine smile. You don’t get that in too many places these days.

I will start this post by saying I have never tried OT before coming to this location and they did NOT disappoint. Grace was so accommodating when I was booking my first class and was super flexible moving it around for me to accommodate my work schedule. My first day Grace was there to greet me; she was so friendly and upbeat. She made making my goals for fitness fun and exciting. I did my first class and I was instantly in love. The atmosphere is great and the coaches I’ve worked with so far are exceptional (Eleni, Kelly and Kasey). I’ve been trying to get back into the gym for months and this place sold me instantly. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a group environment where you’re still able to move at your own pace and adjust your exercises accordingly all while still being seriously challenged. I can’t wait to see all the progress I make at OT south end!

I've been going for a few months now and I really like the workouts. I usually go to Eleni's classes because I like her style and they fit my schedule. But I've enjoyed working out with other coaches too. The music and the whole vibe during the workout is great and super motivating. There are some things to get used to when you first join (parking, booking, and pre-workout procedure), but they're not a big deal once you figure them out. Also, if you enjoy it after going to 2-3 classes, go ahead and switch from the pay-per-class to one of their monthly plans, it's much cheaper and forces you to get on a routine. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to boost their exercise routine or start one.

It’s been one week since I met you OT; can’t thank you enough for the positivity, motivation and support. This is the best vice I’ve ever had and I am feeling better, doing better and I’m genuinely concerned for the dating scene in Charlotte once I get abs! Just kidding, but seriously after an emergency surgery in 2017 my back was destroyed and my chiro told me I needed to work out this core to help my back...due to Orangetheory I haven’t felt this able in years. As a traveling professional I was delighted to learn you have locations all over the globe! Big thanks to Jen and the team at South End, you guys rock!

The moves and cardio training can be customized to your needs.....coaches always show options for beginning, intermediate, and advanced people. Every thing is a nice, bite size piece of work, so you can pace yourself. There is endless variety in treadmill, rower, and weight floor, so you get a total body workout. Somehow, the coaches manage to encourage the individual by commenting on their form or intensity, or just by saying hello. The urgency in the coaches' voice helps me to believe that it is important, right now, to go all-out at my best for 30 seconds. Also, the coaches model the goals of OTF by being very fit themselves.

I have worked out at least four times a week for years. My normal workouts consist of everything from cardio to weight training to all kinds of classes. My friend invited me to OT and it was one of the best group workouts I have ever had!! The staff and trainers are exceptional as well as the atmosphere. I usually do not get sore after workouts, but I was feeling it a day after my first workout at OT. The trainers can modify the workouts for any fitness level and for anyone who has problem areas, ie: knee, shoulder, hip, etc... I would recommend OT for anyone no matter body type or fitness level!

Joining OTF is one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself.. Workouts are energetic, challenging, unique, and effective. The coaches are absolutely incredible and motivating every single class.. I am always ecstatic to go to class, proud of myself when I leave, and truly feel that this community has changed my life- that is not how I would previously describe my fitness journey. I owe so much of that to the staff here. I'm truly thankful for you guys and hope that you remember the difference you are making and how much it means to so many of us. Thanks OTF South Blvd!

I've been going to Orange Theory for about a year, and the South location about 6 months. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The coaches are fantastic...similar to other locations I've visiting. They are highly motivating and really help you improve from time to time. They also make an effort to get to know you, and recognize you at every workout. The workouts themselves are highly effective and change every day, so you never get bored. At this location, parking is tight, so arrive early or park in the Lowe's parking lot across the street.

I cannot say enough good things about this Orange Theory! Morgan, Eleni and Lucas have made me fall in love with working out and make each class so fun that I never want to miss a day! The workouts are intense but I love how strong and toned they have made me. When I travel for work, I often visit other Orange Theory studios and the coaches dont even compare to the amazing coaches at South End! I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a fun, friendly and welcoming gym atmosphere!

This gym provides a high quality, full body workout! All workouts are challenging and high energy! The coaches motivate and encourage you and always make the workout fun! They make sure to check on you during the class to ensure you are getting the best possible workout. The staff is always welcoming and helpful. They take the time to get to know you and make you feel like family. The studio is very clean and inviting. Joining this gym will be the best decision you can make for yourself!

I like how I don't have to think. Just listen/watch & do... I do wish the cancellation policy was only in effect if a class has a wait list or is full. I register for morning classes, and sometimes I don't know how sore I am until that morning! I had to cancel a class at 4am today due to pain and scheduled a massage. The OTF app didn't warn me about a cancellation fee only that the cancelled class would count against my membership... I was charged $12.

I would absolutely give this place a five star rating as the instructors are top notch and the workouts are great. The only thing I struggle with is how loud the music is played. Don’t get me wrong I love music during a workout as it motivates me By the time it’s so loud it hurts By the time it’s so loud it hurts my ears. The instructors are forced to shout over the music which makes it difficult to understand workout instructions.

Not my style of working out. The front staff was rude and fake phony. When I went for my free day I definitely felt like I got a workout, but the room is dark, super loud music with an instructor that basically talks the whole time on a mic and the workouts seemed confusing with no help. Even though it was my first time I definitely will not be back. I’m not into the “club vibe” atmosphere for my workouts. Especially at 10am.

Best hour of my day! This is by far the best workout Ive ever experienced. I've been a member since the SE studio opened and am always looking forward to my workout. The studio is always incredibly clean, the front desk staff is always welcoming and the instructors are the best (Ive taken class across the country and SE's are umatched)! I highly recommend coming in to take a class. First one's free, what do you have to lose?

The best OTF studio you will ever find! I lost 30 lbs in 5 months that I had gained during the pandemic. I can see my abs again! The coaches are amazing and it’s like a huge family here. Do yourself a favor and come workout here. You won’t be disappointed. You’ll be hooked. The best money and time you can spend on yourself. I’m also running at 12 mph some days. I’ve never been able to do that until now! Love! This! Studio!

Orange Theory Fitness is hands down one of the best fitness experiences I've had. The workouts are intense, effective, and never boring. The coaches are motivating and supportive, pushing you to give your all. The sense of community is inspiring, and the facilities are top-notch. If you're looking for a fitness studio that delivers results and keeps you engaged, Orange Theory Fitness is the way to go. Highly recommend!

I’ve never been one to like working out, but this studio has changed my mind! The staff is so nice, and makes you feel so welcome. It’s a completely judgement-free environment, where everyone works out at their own pace. Coaches like Justin and Eleni are so motivating, and remember who you are! The numbers based workout also gives me the motivation I need to know what I’m doing is WORKING. Highly recommend!

From the front desk crew like Casey to trainers like Eleni, Josh, Matt, Justin, Zach, TJ etc, everyone is super friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Orangetheory has been a game changer for my physical and mental health. All fitness levels are truly welcome, no one judges, and I appreciate the demos for correct techniques. Can’t say enough nice things about the Orangetheory South End crew !!

I started working out at Orangetheory almost a year ago and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made! I have never really loved running and have since joined a running team and signed up for both a 10K and a half marathon. The coaches are amazing and super encouraging. I can’t say enough good things about OTF- Southend. I encourage everyone to at least take their first free intro class!

I have always had a hard time staying motivated to work out and never seem to accomplish any goal.....with Orangetheory Fitness, that has all changed, I have attended Orangetheory Southend since it opened and am still loving it and looking forward to each workout. I love the intensity of the work out, the loud music and all the coaches are amazing. Could not speak highly enough about it.

Absolutely love this location. And they let you come in a little bit later than the 5 minute mark which means a lot for ya girl. Also I’ve been to many locations all over the US (I’ve been a member for around 6 years) so i feel I have a good radar and I am not bias cause this isn’t my home gym. Also shout out to Lucas and Eleni and Morgan (genuinely all the coaches) great staff here.

Great work out, OTF takes the thinking out of working out by providing dynamic exercises every time you go so you can focus on your performance. The exercise rotations allow for an intense workout without boredom kicking in. Modifications to each exercise allow everybody regardless of your fitness level to get a good work out and you get real time feedback on how you are doing.

OTF South End is a 10/10! The front desk staff goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and comfortable every time you step into the studio. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and bring their expertise to each and every class and will push you to meet your athletic goals! Come try your first class free! You will not regret it!

Love this workout! It is tough, but doable and I can definitely feel myself getting stronger. I find scheduling classes, having instructors, and knowing it is a set hour is keeping me motivated to go. Instructors are awesome and the staff has always been helpful and kind. Parking can be a little tough, but there is a lot across the street.

Orange Theory Fitness is the best one-hour workout. It's super high energy and changes every day. It's great when I travel for work because I can always find an OTF near me and know that the workouts for that day are the same across all OTF locations. The coaches are motivating - in a good way - and always push you to do your best.

A workout that changes every day and never gets boring PLUS trackable progress and ways to build community? Yes please! I joined when I lived across the street and have continued going to this studio after losing that convenience. I’ve been to other studios and by far, the vibe here and these coaches are the best.

Best workout in Charlotte in you want to improve your cardiovascular health and overall fitness. Highly recommend if you are an athlete or compete person. All of the coaches are very motivating and they always play great music. They hold fun monthly happy hours for staff and members to get together and socialize!

Jon was great at explaining how everything worked and the workout was challenging and fun. The facility is super clean. They have lockers to store your personal belongings during class and 2 showers to freshen up before you leave. I bought a 10-class pass and look forward to more workouts at OTF-South End.

Hey O! Just wanted to give major props to Orangetheory South End Charlotte! Really a great spot- killer workouts with a nice variety. People, managers and trainers are all friendly and on their game! Well done (and just to be brief—my compliments don’t come easily! Wink). Keep up the good work peeps! Paul

I joined OTF for my health and fitness, but I wasn’t expecting the community it would bring with it! The South End location has the best team of coaches of any studio I’ve been to, and they’re a huge part of why I’ve been able to stay consistent! Cannot recommend this studio enough!

Great location but you gotta tell Eleni to quit screaming (her voice is too high. Great instructor but her loud voice is just too much! Gives me headache) and she plays music way too loud (this is coming from somebody who loves music). Besides this, I love his place.

Love, love, love OTF southend! Eleni, Morgan & Lucas all wonderful coaches. Motivating, fun and very knowledgeable. They take a personal interest in helping you improve. Front desk staff are all super friendly, welcoming and organized. The BEST place to work out!

My favorite Orangetheory location by far! I’ve been to plenty of studios but never felt so welcomed, engaged and valued as I do here! The front desk girls are so friendly and the coaches are incredible, helpful and energetic! I love being apart of this family!!

It is a quick, effective and intense workout that wont take too much time out my schedule and is easy to attend. The trainers are awesome at pushing you and the workouts are set up nicely to ensure you get a good burn with every workout. Very friendly staff!

I only joined a month ago, but I’ve started coming every other day and love it. I’m bad at exercising on my own, so OTF is great to get me motivated to be more active. I take Lucas’ classes all the time, and he’s definitely one of the best coaches!

I just joined Orange Theory! I really appreciated the time they took to explain all of the different metrics at the Orange Theory in South End. I really enjoyed the class with Kasey too, she even reached out to me the next day to check in with me!

This is the place you go if you want to be ignored! They charge you when you shouldn’t be charged and then they ignore you so that they can keep your money! It’s like the front desk is ran by bit$hy high schoolers! Totally unprofessional and fake!

Great workout to compliment my other workouts. I like the group setting with a coach to keep things moving. Who doesn't need a little motivation at 5am!? My only complaint is with the newer 3 group format...its a lot of people for one class.

I joined Orange Theory 3 months ago in my hometown and have since become a regular at the Midtown location in Charlotte, NC. Nikki, Erin, Gisselle, and Cara have all been wonderful, caring, and highly motivating instructors each and every

I could not ask for a better workout place to go to! Thank you to the orange theory team for making it feel like home. Great staff and coaches that make the workout that much better. Do yourself a favor and take your first class for free!

Every day im exposed to a different type of work out in which I am challenged to push hard and strive for better results. Coaches make you feel like family and empower you to push harder on each work out. No better way to start my day!

I cannot express enough appreciation for the incredible coaches and staff at Orange Theory Fitness. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for each member's success are truly commendable. The coaches are incredibly motivating,

This is definitely one of the best Orangetheory studios I’ve been to. Every single coach is motivating and encouraging everyone constantly! The amazing energy they give off and awesome music they play makes me excited to go to class!

I’ve been coming to Orangetheory south end for 2.5 years now… every time I attend it’s the highlight of my day. You leave feeling challenged and proud. Not to mention, the leadership at this studio is 10000/10. Love you OTF SOUTHEND.

Orangetheory SouthEnd has such a great community experience. They are very welcoming to all fitness levels and take the time to make you feel special. I’ve met all of the important people to me in Charlotte at Orangetheory SouthEnd.

I’d like to personally shout out Sam, Lucas and Morgan. Not only was the workout so easy to follow because of them but I felt confident in my own abilities as a person who doesn’t like to work out at all! So glad I signed up!

The best workout in America! The coaches are amazing and the facilities are clean. My entire body and life has been transformed by this place, specifically the studio in Charlotte South End. There aren’t enough stars!

In preparation for the new Railyard location, I did a bootcamp with Lindsay this morning, and she was awesome! She has great energy, she kept me motivated, and she explained each step of the workout really well.

OTF is the best way to start my day! I go early in the am and the coaches and staff definitely set a great tone for my workout and day. 10/10 equipment and easy parking (which we all know in CLT can be tough).

OTF Southend is the best! We are so spoiled with the best staff, coaches and studio manager. Lucas, Maggie, Eleni, Morgan - they really are all great and bring their own personality to each class they coach.

I’ve been doing Orangetheory for ~5 years, and this is the best location I’ve been a part of! Coaches are great all around and bring the energy. Truly they make me love to workout. I love coming here :)

The coaches, the staff, the atmosphere is a 10 out of 10. Each staff member gets to know who you are and make sure you are taken care of. You are more than a customer, you are a part of their community.

Great workout, you can go at your own pace, and plenty of modifications are shown if you can't do an exercise. I love that your results are monitored through your heart rate. I will definitely go back.

I come here all the time and the coaches are all so nice! The people at the front desk make me feel so comfortable and ask me how the class is going all the time! Everyone should be coming here!!!!

Class was amazing. Lost 10 pounds today!!! But for real. Everyone has great energy and very motivating. Really appreciate this crew and the transparency about everything. Thanks so much Morgan

I absolutely love orange theory! The staff is amazing, and they make you feel so welcome. I look forward to my workout every time I walk-in. It is definitely a family-like community!

I’ve been a member since covid started and really enjoy it. I like that I can come in and the workout is already structured for me. I would recommend this location to anyone.

Best service and support I've ever seen from a fitness facility! Tough work out, amazing instructors, personal attention, great music! Full body work out in one hour. Love!!!

I’ve been a member since covid started and really enjoy it. I like that I can come in and the workout is already structured for me. I would recommend this location to anyone.

I love getting to hang out with friends while working out! It makes it so fun in such an inviting environment! Kaseys classes are a blast to be in!! The energy is unreal!

High-energy studio with amazing staff! I accidentally arrived late to class and they welcomed me with open arms ! This is how a fitness studio should be run. Thank You!!

No workout is the same! I've become more of a runner than I've ever been in my life! Having great teachers also helps make this one of my favorite spots in town!

Everybody was very welcoming as soon as you walk thru the door. Lucas explained all the equipment and how Orangetheory Fitness works, it was a great experience.

best place ever! everyone needs to join! the coaches are awesome! orange theory is the best place to recharge, focus on your health, and meet cool people!

Nice Staff, Convenient scheduling. I just can say go give it a shot, I think you won't regret! On a side note Steph was really amazing on my first day!

Great location. I was out of town visiting and the staff here was so warm and friendly. Zach coached an awesome class. Highly recommend this location.

Love this location and the coaches, esp Lucas and Eleni! Always great music and great vibes Would def recommend this location over Railyard …

Great energy from coach and front desk. They are extremely welcoming and friendly. The facility is clean. Workouts are fun! The class flies by.

OTF south end is the BEST studio!! The coaches and the staff are so amazing, I’ve been coming here for 6 years and couldn’t recommend it more!

There is always something diffrent in every work out! Plus an amazing team atmosphere, with friendly staff, coaches, and fellow patrons.

The instructors are fun and friendly. The workouts are well balanced and challenging. For me, it’s the best way to get a great workout.

Super nice/ inviting staff. Each class is a little different which I enjoy. The music is always good! I leave each class feeling great

My go to workout place in Charlotte! The coaches and staff go over and beyond. Never regret going to a class. Highly recommend!

They are great at this location, I always feel so welcomed! Over 562 classes...The Best coaches and Staff! Love OTF SOUTHEND...

Orange theory pushes me harder than any other gym experience I've had and it's fun! The staff is friendly and inviting as well!

Best OTF location ever!! The staff and coaches are amazing and the culture is so supportive and fun. Best workout you can get!

Hands-down, the best work out in the city! Where else can you burn at least 500 calories in one hour?! First workout is free!

Orangetheory fitness southend is amazing!! All coaches and staff are so friendly and helpful. Great community & workout!!!

Amazing coaches and staff at South End studio. I've been to a dozen plus studios and South End is hands down the best!

Just took Lucas’s class and it was fantastic! So glad I tried this location. I love Orange Theory—got a great workout.

Eleni is a fantastic coach! She pushed me all throughout class ☺️ Front desk staff is fantastic, Sam you are AMAZING!

Always a tough workout that never gets easier. A great way to push yourself in ways most would never do on their own

Love the energy at this place..! Always a very very inviting atmosphere. All the instructors are Awesome! …

Great intense hard workout that is efficient - you just feel like you're in some European 1980s disco-tech...

I love the entire OTF experience! The classes and coaches here are amazing and feel great after every class.

Great introduction, phenomenal people working the classes and the front desk. Immediately felt comfortable!

Amazing location, staff and facility. Been going for 2.5 years and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon!

The support from the coaches and staff is unbelievable. I walk through the doors and feel no judgement.

Hell of a good workout with amazing trainers with lots of energy. Super positive energy, I’m obsessed!

I absolutely love, love this place. The workout is great! The staff is like family. Orange zone!

Workouts that challenge you and keep you coming back for more! Great coaches and support staff!

Everyone is so friendly in here. They care about our fitness goals and help us to push harder.

The high-energy staff and ever-challenging workouts, push you to be your best you every class.

Love Orangetheory Southend! It’s tough yet fun! The coaches are kind, encouraging, and fun!

Great community where I get a well-rounded workout every time from knowledgeable coaches!

Organized and fun! Coaches have all remembered my name and are super positive.
