UPDATE from 2024: I still love OTF Rockville South as much as I did the day I joined in 2021. It's the best way to get a complete workout and achieve well-rounded fitness with just a bite-sized time commitment. The coaches and staff at OTF Rockville South are all amazing, especially the regular afternoon/weekend coaches Teri, Sheina, and Sean. The studio is also well-managed - whenever anything breaks down, they fix it as quickly as they can. This is literally the first time in my life I've ever stuck with a fitness routine for more than a year and I don't see myself quitting anytime soon.
Original Review from 2021: I joined the Orangetheory Fitness Rockville South studio as a founding member and I am already in love and addicted. The equipment is top-notch and I really like the integration with your heart rate monitor, app, and online account. In addition to the detailed and real-time instructions from the coach, you also get real-time feedback on all the screens.
After only two sessions, I am already getting the hang of it to the point where I am no longer nervous about being able to do anything correctly. And even though I am not able to perform all the reps of all the exercises just yet, they structure the workouts in a way that challenges everyone without discouraging anyone regardless of fitness level. So I can already see myself improving greatly in the future.
The team at Orangetheory Fitness Rockville South are all energetic, positive, and encouraging. I've already made a few new friends among the other attendees, and even though there is a sense of camaraderie, there's also a sense of everyone doing their own thing throughout the workouts, especially once everyone is coming and going between the rowers and floor exercises at different paces/times.
Perhaps the most important advantage that Orangetheory has over all of my previous gym experiences (and there have been many) is that it packs so much of a complete workout into just one hour, and it sets aside both time and space/equipment just for me. The workouts change every time, and the instruction is so good that I never have to worry about preparing anything or thinking at all - I can just follow the coach's instructions along with the animations on the screen the moment I forget how to do something.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially if you have had trouble feeling like you fit in at other gyms/workouts.

I can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews and longer lines! We visited twice during our weekend in NYC and even picked up an extra dozen to take with us back to DC. The mochi doughnuts are very unique - they're a bit denser and chewier than the typical "airy" doughnuts, but are still light and soft enough, too. In other words, they're the perfect texture. We tried several different flavors and decided that the matcha glazed (without the ginger on top) was the best flavor - it was the perfect balance of matcha flavor and mochi flavor, with neither overpowering the other and both being perceptible and enjoyable.
Theophilus was there both times we visited and provided absolutely top-notch customer service and helped shape our experience of Oh Mochi to be positively memorable. Now we just wish they would open an Oh Mochi location in DC (and bring Theophilus to DC with them)!
