I've been in the same exercise pattern for 3 years now and when I moved offices next to LBX Long Beach, was intrigued by the OTF that's walking distance from my office. I signed up for a complimentary class to give it a try.
I had an amazing experience from the very beginning! Madison welcomed me warmly and got me set up for my first complimentary intro class. The workout was the exact change of pace that i needed. After class, Madison helped me choose a membership that fits my needs and schedule perfectly.
Every time I walk in, I’m greeted by name, and the staff’s friendliness and engagement make me feel right at home. The coaches are incredible – they bring so much energy and motivation to each workout, making sure you push yourself and stay on track with your health and wellness goals.
The gym is always spotless, and the workouts are seriously challenging but so rewarding. Highly recommend this location to anyone looking to get fit with a supportive team behind you!

I promised Madi I would so here we go! Ok let me start by saying YOU NEED TO JOIN!! (Helping Emily Out) But seriously since I first walked in to take my first free class and was greeted by Lilly I knew there was something special about this place! I remember it was a Saturday class with Sai being the instructor and let me tell you at first I was totally scared that I was about to die! I've always been into sports playing soccer in my youth for over 10 years but then life hit after high school got married had children and well, I was put aside. I think all parents usually do until something hits them and you say, "To give my family the best me I need to fell the best me" and prior to joining ill be honest I didn't fell the best version of me. After gaining so much weight from the pregnancies (Dad's have cravings and we gain weight too) to not being motivated to do anything! Prior to having kids my wife and I where pretty active working out regularly either going to regular gym or even taking a few CrossFit classes and I remember prior to working from home I would drive out to Glenda where our office was at and I remember downstairs they opened up this thing called Orange Theory and everyone said the classes were extremely hard, you should only go if you are active and can keep up. So, when I made the decision to put me first and my health I challenged myself and said I am going to go to OTF. So, that first class was amazing I felt accomplished because I actually finished and no pressure to join by Lilly she just said well just let us know. Now part 2 of my journey beings! I remember deciding ok I am joining, called and was greeted by Emily on the phone took my info and signed me up and after that call I said, " I am attending class today" and the rest was history! OTF is really place where you are safe not matter what fitness journey you are on either starting or a trainer you belong and you can do it! All the staff, Emily, Lilly, Sam, Madi and the rest are truly amazing! Something I realized when I went back and they already knew my name! It feels like home, I feel motivated. ALL THE TRAINERS are amazing! I started going mainly in the evening since it was summer time and my wife and oldest son are out of school. Mckenzie and Andy are amazing! Mackenzies energy makes you want to work out and grove out and Andy well lets say he always pushed me to add more weight to my reps (I'll be back in the summer) so shout to the evening crew you guys started my journey! Now to my 5am and Saturday either 6:00am (90m 3g) or my 11:05 (2g) with Jen, you guys have given me back my confidence, Sai, Keila, Alex and Jen thank you for pushing me to be the best me. Alex honestly give me a tip (slant board) you all need one TRUST! I made me prepare better for class, Keila is the best great energy we all need at 5am and Sai always motivating to add .1 or .2 to our runs and Jen I always enjoy going to those 2G classes because I know I am going to work! Bailey I have not had the privilege to attend one of your classes but I have seen you bring it in our 5am classes so I know you are truly amazing as well! I love OTF Lakewood you are truly family to me! I don't mind standing outside with Emily to get more people to join this amazing family and Sam she's my advocate thank you for taking suggesting and bringing to the table. You belong here so don't be afraid just take the leap and take that class!

There's something about this location that really highlights what OTF is all about: the community, the accountability, & simply, the fun. I've been coming here for around 3 years and I can see why it's such a highly rated location. - The staff is so sweet & welcoming each time I walk into to class - whether it be at 5AM in the morning or 3PM in the afternoon. - The coaches are SO fun & absolutely kill it when it comes to teaching classes. They are so so helpful on correcting form - whether it be on the weight floor or the rower - and always encourage members to run faster & lift heavier. (Special shoutout to Alex, Sai, & Keila!) - The workouts are SO different everyday. As someone who gets bored easily, this is sooo so important to me & something I can appreciate. Overall, I'm so happy to have found a studio that offers everything that I'm looking for. I've brought multiple friends here & they have all commented on the fun community this location seems to have. Whether you're looking to get into shape or stay in shape, this is the spot for ya. :)

I love OTF LBX! The classes challenge me, the instructors and staff are kind, the facility is kept clean, and the music is great. I really enjoy the 3G and strength classes. Would recommend ??

Coaches are great. Vibe is fun. Workouts are tough and a personal connection to the team keeps you accountable. I am fan of the HIIT workouts and this place doesn't well.

I've been attending Orangetheory Fitness Long Beach - Lakewood for a while now, and the entire experience - from the coaches to the front desk staff - creates such a welcoming and motivating environment to workout in!
When I first started, the classes were challenging for me, especially since I had never taken HIIT classes before. It was definitely an adjustment, but over time, I’ve seen real progress! Not only do I feel stronger, I can also see the physical changes in my body. I know I wouldn’t have gotten this far without the incredible staff!
I have two main coaches I love taking class with: Coach Jen and Coach Keila.
Coach Jen is absolutely incredible! She is super motivating; even when I’m doubting myself, she knows exactly how to push me to reach my full potential. I love how helpful Jen is when it comes to correcting form and make sure we’re okay. She has such a positive presence and I’m always excited to see her! (But don’t complain in front of her or she will make you lift heavier weights…I had to learn that the hard way hahaha!)
Coach Keila is just as amazing! She brings such a fun energy to every class that she teaches. I love how fun she is to joke around with; we have great banter hahaha. She's also incredibly helpful when it comes to correcting form and answering any questions! It's always a good time in her class. If you’re lucky, she’ll even show you her surprisingly good dance moves!
But please no one take their class, I would like to keep them to myself and I don’t want to share them :) Just kidding, you should absolutely take their classes!
Also, a big shout-out to the amazing front desk team: Emily, Madi, Sam, and Darla! They are always so welcoming and friendly. They’re super supportive and engaging every time I see them. They make each visit feel a bit more special and I truly appreciate that!
If you’re on the fence, give it a try! You might end up liking it :)

I love this gym!! The community is incredible, with the coaches always looking to build you up both physically and mentally, and the entire crew invested in every person's growth and health. I always come away from a workout tired and sore but feeling so good about the work I am doing and everything this place has helped me accomplish!

Parking sucks at this location! Was late because it took over 10 mins to find parking which then made me late to class arrived at 12:06 pm. Was told that I couldn't join the half empty class because the late policy is 5 min grace period. I have been to this location several times where I have seen people walk in as late as 10 mins after class had started. I would have happily rode the bike the whole time to at least get a workout in. Just rejoined after being gone for some years rethinking my decision now.

It’s just too LOUD. The music and the trainer’s microphone are ungodly LOUD. It’s so bad there’s a bucket of ear plugs at the front desk for members. The staff know it’s too loud. The ppl seem nice enough but it’s unbearable. Canceled after 2 months or so.

This review is made for the phone call with Assistant Store Manager Emily. She is very argumentative and unprofessional coming from a customer who is unhappy with their services. She continually stated that I had emails from Holly who is the store manager and orange theory themselves, upon researching I have 0 emails even after checking spam. I am very disappointed with the services received here and how it has been handled. I have reach out twice, last time being in July with a response that a manager would be reaching out to me, that has yet to happen. Very unfortunate to treat their customers this way, especially in the economy we are in today. I will update if there is a response this time.

I was visiting from out of town and they were so welcoming. The coaches checked in and corrected form as needed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I would recommend this studio to anyone. The studio was clean, up to date equipment and spacious.
