How Much Does Orangetheory Cost? Here Are the Membership Prices For 2024

There's a reason Orangetheory Fitness (OTF) inspires such devoted fans. It's one of the rare group exercise classes that delivers the guided, personalized attention of a one-on-one training session and the motivating camaraderie of a team workout. Add in the competitive boost from OTF's emphasis on hitting your target heart rate zone, and you've got a workout that's challenging, effective, and fun too - the perfect combination. OTF also truly caters to all fitness levels, with a format that's accessible to beginners but that can be scaled to your fitness level. Before we get into Orangetheory pricing, let's break down what you're really paying for. A signature Orangetheory class is an hour-long, interval-based workout split into three sections. You spend a portion of the workout on the rowing machine, then get the choice between the treadmill, bike, or strider (similar to an elliptical). The third section involves floor work, where you strength train using TRX suspension straps and free weights. The workout is friendly to all levels, including beginners.Throughout the workout, Orangetheory relies on heart-rate-based metrics. The goal of any sweat session at OTF is to train within the "Orange Zone" - aka 84-91 percent of your maximum heart rate - for 12 minutes or more. This is said to improve your endurance and overall fitness, and during class at Orangetheory, it earns you "Splat Points." Sound like something you want to try? Here's everything you need to know for your wallet's sake, including how much an Orangetheory membership costs, Orangetheory pricing details, and whether you'll need to purchase any additional gear.In addition to the total-body class, Orangetheory Fitness has two new class formats, including Strength 50 and Tread 50. Designed to focus on building strength and lean muscle mass, the Strength 50 class is perfect for those looking to enhance their sense of confidence, wherever they currently are in their fitness journey. Switching gears slightly, the Tread 50 class from Orangetheory Fitness focuses on a treadmill-based workout class. With an emphasis on endurance, the class helps students increase their stamina with the goal of improving their cardiovascular endurance and overall health. Both classes have been added as supplemental training options, each a complement to the popular Orange 60 workout class.Orangetheory Pricing and MembershipsOrangetheory now boasts over 1,500 locations in all 50 US states and 24 countries. Consequently, pricing is partially based on location. There's a range of Orangetheory membership packages to choose from, including Class Packs, Basic, Elite, and Premier, but overall, Orangetheory prices vary depending on where you live.Curious about the cost of an Orangetheory membership? To help you get an idea of the prices, an Orangetheory representative shared some averages below. Keep in mind that these are just estimates - for more specific pricing, it's best to connect with your local studio rep to discuss a plan that works for you. You can also find your nearest Orangetheory location by plugging your zip code into the Orangetheory website to see the prices at the locations closest to you.Orangetheory Membership Prices:Class Packs: Buy a package of 10 classes ($225 and up), 20 classes ($375 and up), or 30 classes ($499 and up). Prices vary by location.Basic Membership ($79 per month): Four classes per month, plus discounted add-on classes.Elite Membership ($119 per month): Eight classes per month, plus discounted add-on classes.Premier Membership ($179 per month): Unlimited classes every month - with a 30-day risk-free guarantee. If you take eight or more classes during your first 30 days and don't love it, you can get your money back.Orangetheory prices are higher at premium locations, such as Manhattan, Brooklyn, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, and Dallas. For example, in Manhattan, you may have to shell out $199 for an Elite membership and a cool $279 for the Premier. A unique benefit, however, is that even if you sign up with a specific location, you can use your OTF membership at any location in the country - though there may be a surcharge depending on which location you're visiting.No matter what level you go for, no annual contract is involved, and you can take additional classes at a discounted rate once you purchase a membership. If you're not totally convinced, you can always try an introductory class for free to see how you like it.Orangetheory prices might seem steep, but remember that you're getting access to a plethora of fitness machines you likely don't have in your home, plus real-time biofeedback, encouragement from top-notch coaches, and a boutique gym atmosphere (which can be a nice break from a big-box gym). Plus, there are tons of exciting community workout events like the Orangetheory DriTri that you get access to if you're a member.Orangetheory also offers "digital joins," meaning you can become a member (or simply inquire about the costs) by signing up online instead of having to physically go to the gym. Participating studio pages will have the option to "Join Now," and they'll walk you through the different Orangetheory membership and package options, prices, as well as member benefits.Additional Orangetheory Costs to Keep In MindIn addition to the membership fees, there's another Orangetheory cost to keep in mind. To make the most of Orangetheory's workouts - and get into the Orange Zone - you'll need a heart-rate monitor. OTF uses its own heart-rate monitors to connect to the displays during class as well as to the Orangetheory app. You can rent a heart-rate monitor for $5 to $10 per class or purchase one for $119. It can be worn on your wrist, forearm, or bicep. Without an Orangetheory heart-rate monitor, you can use your own smartwatch, fitness tracker, or heart-rate monitor to keep track of your heart rate; however, unfortunately, non-OTF devices won't connect to earn you Splat Points, display your data during class, or log your data in the Orangetheory app. Because the data-driven aspect of Orangetheory classes is such a big draw, you'll probably want to splurge for an OTF monitor.- Additional reporting by Lauren Mazzo, Mirel Zaman, Chandler Plante, and Jade EsmeraldaMelissa Willets is a PS contributor.Mirel Zaman is the health and fitness director at PS.
