I called to schedule an appointment to come in and see if I would like to start working out here, before I was even given a tour, I was asked if I could afford their pricing. They don't care about you or your experience at the gym. They only care about money. I went to another gym with higher pricing, just because they were considerate, kind, and interested in maintaining a good client relationship. To follow up, the owner said that I never called scheduled an appointment there which was a lie, and said something to the effect of me not even living close. Also, how could he possibly know where I live. I will follow up by saying that I am military and I live in Universal City. He also said I never came in, he's right I didn't. I called to schedule an appointment like I said. I noticed he removed all his responses to reviews. Shocker.

You wont find me in your records because your program was so unbearable that I quit after a few weeks. You have zero leadership skills, you bragged about firing your really sweet coach because he was too "sissy" and you spoke demandingly to everyone. I watched as people dropped out of your so-called 6 week boot camp, you had no real structure plans. I am very happy to be back at Cross fit Marysville (Remedy Athletics) where they educate you and have a real sense of commodity and community.

I love this place! Top tier gym! Amazing trainer who's interpersonal skills brings everyone together and Constantly motivates you to push yourself beyond your limits even when you're sucking. I highly recommend this place! Still loving it after a few months.

Came to Orenda last year. I was soooo excited to break up my gym routine and get pushed, build muscle, all that. I was a beginner crossfitter but not a beginner in the gym. The workouts were very challenging and the first few weeks I felt welcome and that the trainer was working well with me. Well after about 2 months I realized he was treating me different than the other members because my experience level wasn’t much. He would modify workouts for me which was great at times but it eventually made me feel ostracized from the group. I didn’t feel welcome at all anymore bc it’s like he didn’t have time or patience for someone who wasn’t experienced. So basically only go here if you are an expert crossfitter. Beginners are not felt welcome. :(

In February of this year, 2019, I responded to an Instagram sponsored ad to join the "New You Challenge" that Crossfit Orenda participates in. Actually to be honest, my wife prompted me to do the challenge:) $300 and this is exactly what I needed. I am 43 years old and have been active my whole life, but it has always been something different. I have not found a routine of activity and working out for the past three years until I joined this challenge. When I showed up for the challenge registration, I could feel the positive energy in the Crossfit Orenda Gym. I started attending the classes at 6 am and immediately realized that this particular gym was the exact community I needed to put importance on taking care of me. Arturo is a driven coach. He has a story of getting fit and he doesn't mess around in helping others achieve what he himself works hard in maintaining: health and wellness. The community of men and women at this gym, including our fearless leader Arturo, is why I chose to finish my 6-week challenge and join this gym. I love the people I workout with and the energy of this gym. If you are serious about involving a community of people to be involved with in getting healthy, then this is a gym for you. At least give it a shot! I highly recommend Crossfit Orenda. Do you know what Orenda means? A MYSTICAL FORCE PRESENT IN ALL PEOPLE THAT CAN EMPOWER THEM TO AFFECT THE WORLD, OR TO AFFECT CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES.

This gym as been one of my favorite places in the world. If your looking for a environment that's forward-moving and and very goal-oriented place if your looking for real physical and body Improvement then is the place to be. All around great place for strength training and endurance training. Also very good for people that are trying to get into Olympic weightlifting

Dropped into CrossFit Orenda while TDY and felt like home instantly. It has a cozy vibe with like-minded people getting after it. Arturo was so hospitable and accommodating. The gym is very clean and has high quality equipment. Definitely recommend for anyone in the JBSA area!!

I'd never been a member of a crossfit gym before, but had gone here one day with my friend and had a blast. Very much enjoyed the vibe, members, and the environment! I started training here after that, and love it. The coach does a good job of scaling the workouts to different fitness levels, and adapting to injuries.

I came looking for a comfortable place to begin lifting weights to help my fitness lifestyle. I found a home with Orenda Fitness. It’s clean and inviting. The people are so much fun and the coaching staff is incredible. Where else can I get a personal training workout every time I come to the gym?! Come check it out!

Amazing box with an outstanding crew! The setup is perfect and the equipment is all Rogue so it cant get any better than that. The coaches are flexible with your schedule in case you prefer Open Gym. I would highly recommend Orenda!

I've come here off and on for over a year and I've always had a great experience. Arturo and Conley are great coaches and the people are fun to be around, I definitely recommend if you're just starting out with CrossFit because it's a perfect environment for beginners and veterans alike.

Overall a very high quality and fun environment. Arturo(owner) is the most honest and passionate trainer/coach I have ever met and its resulted in very noticeable improvements after just 2 months of coming.

Awesome place, got me ready for Army basic training, massively improved my pt scores and overall body appearance. Love this gym!!!

Words can't begin to explain how amazing this gym is! This is a super family-friendly gym that offers: group Crossfit wods, Crossfit Kids classes several days per week, individual Personal Training at almost any time, Olympic Lifting, speed/agility training, powerlifting, and basic strength training. The easiest things to highlight are below. For starters: Arturo is the only trainer here (he is also the gym owner) and he is highly educated. His level of understanding the human body and biomechanics far surpass that of at least 99% of all trainers I have ever met (including the ones with 4+ year degrees)- and as a Medical professional with over 8 years of schooling, this means a lot to me! He is so committed to helping people achieve their goals, it isn't even funny. And his coaching and cueing are generally more spot-on than anyone is prepared for. Seriously, I've seen this guy coach a full kids class (he's Crossfit Kids Certified), teach Olympic lifting, use a TRX with a personal training client, and then coach a full group Crossfit class- all before most of us have had our breakfast!! His hours at this gym are insane and his dedication is non-human. The other amazing part, is the gym itself! The equipment at Crossfit Orenda is the best you can get (Concept II rowers, Rogue everything, Pendlay weights, etc) and the facility itself is so perfect; it is very clear as soon as you walk in this gym that Arturo did not cut corners or buy any of the cheap equipment that never lasts. There are 6 olympic lifting platforms, several sets of rings, several sets of boxes, KG and lbs weight sets, kettlebells, medicine balls, mobility bands, and so much more. However, one of the nicest features of Crossfit Orenda is the overall cleanliness. Arturo must be OCD when goes to clean this place because it is always spotless. The black rubber mats (that almost always look dirty in almost any gym) are always clean and never sweaty/dirty/gross. All bars and bells are clean and organized. The medicine balls are cared for very nicely and always clean. And the lifting platforms are probably the nicest I've ever seen! (they are level with the rubber matting and bolted to the floor so they are super-solid and not warped)!! This is definitely not your typical "box"! Overall, if you are in the Marysville/Arlington/Smokey Point area and you are looking for a great gym with the best equipment and a good owner/coach- then CrossFit Orenda is the place you are looking for. With so many different packages that you can try- from open gym to unlimited Crossfit classes to one on one personal training, it doesn't make sense to not check this place out! Seriously, my wife and I drive to this gym from Everett with our 9 month old strapped in the back seat and don't regret the miserable drive one bit!!

Clean gym

Amazing coach, great facility and equipment, one of the cleanest gyms I've ever been to. Was originally hesitant with tryout out CrossFit, but hands down the best fitness program/gym I've ever been a part of. Classes are fun, and the coaching that Arturo gives is spot on. Definitely recommend this place!

My everything is sore, however I'm feeling better not as sluggish. And the gentleman that runs this gym is great, he is always willing to help and gives pointers on how lift so I don't hut myself!! I'm so glad it's not like a regular gym where you feel like a hampster on the treadmill, it honestly feels like a team environment when you are working out. Thank you !

Great box! Very friendly community. Top of the line equipment and very clean. Cool coach! I will definitely return.

I have been training at CrossFit Orenda for a couple years now. It is the best place I have found for all my sports training. They have all the equipment I need that most gyms don't have. I am able to do all my Olympic Lifting as well as speed and agility training here. The Coaching and environment is top notch. I recommend this gym to all my fellow athletes and friends.

I went here with my WHOLE (minus hubby in NC) family. The parents, the sister and brother and their friends and even my puppy!! We had a BLAST. haha omg the tortilla toss, you HAVE to participate in and don't get mad if you get hit with one.

The community being built here is like no other; this gym is where you can come to gain strength and confidence. The years of personal training experience and knowledge that Arturo has is life changing, his passion for fitness and Olympic lifting is inspiring. 2 yrs and still going.

This was my first experience with CrossFit, Arturo is an excellent coach and made the grueling work outs fun even though they kicked my butt! I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone interested in trying CrossFit for the first time.

Awesome place to train!

dope gym. arturo knows what hes talking about. I walked out feeling better than when I showed up every time. will definitely drop in when Im back in town

Great coach! He is very Knowledgeable about CrossFit and his passion pushes people to be better everyday. I highly recommend!

We are from out of town and dropped in for a class. Arturo was extremely welcoming. The gym was clean and the perfect size for the perfect size class. We appreciated Arturo's coaching and reassurance during the workout. We will definitely drop in again the next time we are in San Antonio.

I have been working out with Arturo for a few months now and I am really excited he is opening up a new gym close to home. I have worked out with a few different trainers before and Arturo is by far the most motivating and knowledgeable person to have training you. He pushes you past what you think are your limits. I have gotten stronger and more confident because of him. The group I work out with have become my friends and we really motivate and encourage each other. I

Best coaches who make you work hard and feel great after. It's a real family here, even the other members are wonderful and make you feel great about yourself. No matter what shape or condition you're in.

Tried out CrossFit Orenda after moving to San Antonio and signed up right after my first class. Very welcoming environment with lots of options for all different levels. I’ve been working out with Arturo for a little over a month now and am really happy I joined.

This is my first gym I try CrossFit in and I feel really comfortable and motivated, Art and Conley are great coaches and push you to try harder! ps: thank you for your service !!!

Beware... tried this gym out. Was not a good fit. Owner kept my card on file and refuses to refund the charge for July. I never gave authorization for the card to be stored and charged monthly. I did not sign an agreement. Having to work with my bank to get $200 refunded. You refuse to refund the fee for July. Any respectable business would refund the money and not hold it hostage. Based on your small list of clientele, I guess you are desperate for the money.

Great place to start a fitness journey! Very welcoming and supportive both in the gym and out. This gym supports all levels of fitness and nutrition and continues to push me to work harder!

Love the motivation and real talk this place offers. Feels more like a family than just a gym you go work out at. The owners is awesome! He makes sure everyone gets the workout they need accordingly due to previous injury or current conditions.

I have been training with Arturo (the owner) for a little over a year, and I can say with confidence, that I have grown and learned more from him in the past year than I have in my 5+ years of my fitness journey. This new facility has opened up the door (literally) to grow in community and fitness in a welcoming and encouraging environment. CrossFit Orenda is far more than just a “box,” it is a family! This gym is the most welcoming and energetic environment I have ever been a part of! I am excited to see the community continue to grow. The coaches are knowledgeable, understanding and encouraging! This is also the most female friendly gym I have ever been too, as they have women barbells, lowered bars, and equipment catered to the smaller stature of women! Overall, I love the community, facility, coaches, and workouts CrossFit Orenda has to offer!

Arturo is AMAZING! He gets to know his clients individually and can pinpoint what we need due to his 20+ years of experience. He knows what it takes to be fit as he has gone through his own fitness journey successfully. He is super knowledgeable and can modify workouts to prevent injury and help with injuries that are already present. I’m so thankful as someone that has never worked out before to have found such a wonderful gym to be a part of!
