Our Team
Our team of talented and dedicated individuals feels more like a family to us than colleagues. We love to work hard, get after it in the studio and then enjoy each other’s company socially. It does not matter if you are a coach teaching your first class, a member of our Customer Care team, an accountant helping us with our books or a famous NFL player who happens to be one of our Co-Founders. We are all part of the West Coast Fitness family and the broader Orange Nation.
Below is a snapshot of our leadership team. But what makes West Coast Fitness truly special are the 700+ team members who service our studios and members every day. We appreciate all that they do and for bringing their passion for Orangetheory to our locations every single day.
