Mobile FAQ

You need to use your MBO email address because all of your Orangetheory history is associated with that email address in our new system. We have also created a new single sign-on system for our customers. The password rules have been updated to add more complexity to help better protect your Orangetheory information.

This is the message a first-time user of the new app will receive if he/she has clicked “Sign In” instead of “Create Account.” All first-time users must click “Create Account” to get set up in the new system. If a user does receive this message they can simply click "Create Account" from here and follow the instructions to get set up in the new app.

There are 3 main reasons why you may not have received your verification code;

1. Time - Patience is a virtue.  The verification code is typically sent within 2 minutes. However, it can take up to 5 minutes.
2. Email Address Errors - To error is human. We have found that over 50% of users who did not receive their verification code actually entered their email address with errors. For example, janedoe@gmai.con or janedoe@comcastl.ner rather than janedoe@gmail.com or jane@comcast.net or jon.doe@gmail.com rather than jondoe@gmail.com. The email address that was entered is the email address that will receive a verification code. Therefore, triple-check that the address you entered is 100% correct before moving to the next step. Entering the email address incorrectly means you will never receive the verification code. Note: our development team will be making improvements to the Account Creation flow in the app to help resolve this and other entry error issues.
3. Intercepted by Spam Filters - Security can be too good. Check your spam or junk folder if the verification email is not in your inbox. Even if it is not there, it may have automatically been filtered and deleted by your email security firewall. Below we have included instructions on how to whitelist emails from orangetheory.com and orangetheoryfitness.com to ensure you always get the emails you need for various providers. We will continue to add instructions for more of the popular domains as we get them. For unique domains, you will have to work with your ISP or IT Help Desk to get orangetheory.com and orangetheoryfitness.com on the whitelist.

Prevent Outlook (Including Hotmail and Live Domains) From Spamming Email.
To choose email addresses that Outlook should never send to spam, access the Safe senders list and type the email addresses into the list.

1. Click the settings gear icon at the top right of Outlook.com.
2. Click View all Outlook settings at the bottom of the pop-out menu.
3. Go to Mail > Junk email.
4. Type a sender's email address or domain into the text box in the Safe senders area.
   1. Note: To enter a domain so that no emails from that domain are ever marked as spam, type just the text portion (not the "@" sign). So here you should enter orangetheory.com and orangetheoryfitness.com.
5. Click Add.

5. Select Inbox as the folder to deliver the email to.
6. Click Save and then click Save again.
7. Follow the "Create Account" process in the app once again.

If none of these solutions work for you, please submit a ticket through the app to our help desk, who will reach out to help you ASAP.

If you receive multiple verification code emails, use the verification code from the last email you received.

You need to use your MBO email address because all of your Orangetheory history is associated with that email address in our new system. If you are unsure of what email address is associated with your MBO account, you can check it by logging into https://clients.mindbodyonline.com and clicking the My Info tab. Your MBO email address is listed on the Personal card of your Profile.  

Click the orange "+" button in the center of the bottom tab section of the app.

We are investigating this issue. However, it is important for studios to properly check in members when they attend a class or mark them as “late canceled” when they are booked but absent from class. This will reduce instances of this issue.

Our system synchronizes coach pictures to the app once a day. That means it will take up to 24 hours for the new pictures to appear in the app.

You can use both apps interchangeably. However, some users have reported that some of their classes booked in the old app do not show immediately in the new app. We recommend that when you start using the new app you use it exclusively as much as possible.

Make sure you are looking the right place. Your booked classes can easily be seen on the Base screen on the "Upcoming" Tab. They can also be seen in the Booking screen.

Yes! The app now allows users to book on the waitlist at most cross-regional studios. If you attempt to add yourself to a waitlist at a studio that does not allow cross-regional waitlisting of classes, please call the studio to inquire about being added to the class waitlist manually.

When you see that next to a class it means that class has a waitlist associated with it. The number represents the number of people currently on the waitlist. If you click that icon, you will join the waitlist. Once you join the waitlist, the icon will turn into a blue circle with the number that represents your current place in line on the waitlist.

There are three main reasons why your booked classes are not getting added to your calendar;

1. Currently, booked classes are only added to your device's native calendar. For iOS devices, this is your Apple calendar. For Android devices, this is your Google calendar.
2. "Add Classes to Calendar" has not been turned on. To ensure this setting is on, navigate to the Settings screen and select "Add Classes to Calendar."  
3. All calendars and all categories of calendars are not set to be visible on your device. To check the visibility of your calendars, navigate to the general calendar settings on your mobile device.

When in Studio Search, add studios to your collection of favorites by tapping the star on the studio information card.

Usually, this updates within a few minutes. However, it could take up to 2 hours for a canceled class to be credited back to your class pack.

If you are experiencing any of these issues, it could be due to you using a different email address to sign into your mobile app than the email that is associated with your Orangetheory membership. To check your Orangetheory membership email, you can tap the gear icon in the upper right corner of the app then look in the My Account section and tap Personal Information. If the email listed on this screen does not match the email you use to sign into the app, please submit a ticket through the app including the email you are logging into the app with and a screenshot of the email associated with your Orangetheory membership.

You can view your remaining classes by tapping the Gear icon from your Base screen and viewing the "Classes Remaining" card at the top of the Settings screen. The number of classes remaining does not include future classes you have scheduled. If you see that you have 3 classes remaining on this screen and you have scheduled 4 classes before your next billing date, you will be charged the drop-in rate for the 4th class.

In your home studio, you are able to book into a class or join a class waitlist 29 days from the current date. In studios that are not your home studio, you are able to book into a class or join a waitlist up to your next billing date.

This feature will be included in the app in a future update release. For now, if you would like to add or update a profile picture, your home studio can do that for you.

This feature will be included in the app in a future update release. For now, if you would like to change the email address on your account, contact your home studio. They will submit a request to the Orangetheory service desk.

From the Base Screen, click the gear icon in the top right corner. Then scroll down to Billing Information.  If there is a red "!" it means the app can't get your credit card information from MBO. Click Billing Information and follow the instructions to update your credit card from the app.

If you are prompted with the "Permissions Denied" dialogue when attempting to attach a file to a Zendesk support ticket, you can go to the app settings (usually long-pressing the app icon will have a shortcut to this) and select "Permissions." From this screen, you can toggle on the "Storage" permissions.

We recommend that you enable Location Based Services because it will allow the app to use your phone's GPS to show nearby studios in the Studio Search screen.

In order for your workout data to be pushed into Apple HealthKit, you will need to adjust your settings. From the Base Screen, click the gear icon in the top right corner. Scroll down and tap Apple HealthKit. Here you can enable sharing with Apple HealthKit for your In Studio and Out of Studio workouts. After enabling through the app, open your Health App and navigate to your Settings. Tap Apps in the Privacy section and you will be able to define the types of information that the Orangetheory App is able to read and write to the Health App.

This is due to the fact that you have not yet participated in this Signature Challenge or Benchmark. If you have participated and the icon is still grayed out, please submit a ticket through the app and we will be happy to assist you.

This could be due to you using a different email address to sign into your mobile app than the email that is associated with your Orangetheory membership. To check your Orangetheory membership email, you can tap the gear icon in the upper right corner of the app then look in the My Account section and tap Personal Information. If the email listed on this screen does not match the email you use to sign into the app, please submit a ticket through the app including the email you are logging into the app with and a screenshot of the email associated with your Orangetheory membership.

This could be due to one or more issues:

1. If you participated in a Benchmark using an alternative piece of equipment, your results will display under the icon of the alternative equipment you used.
2. You or your studio accidentally selected the wrong name when your Challenge results were entered into the Challenge Tracker app. If you participated in the Challenge within the last 45 days, please submit a ticket through the app and we will be happy to correct the results for you. Unfortunately, we are unable to change Challenge result data for Challenges that have occurred more than 45 days ago.  

Challenge information is displayed according to your "Unit of Measure" setting. You can change this by tapping the Gear icon from your Base screen and scrolling down to "Unit of Measure" in the "My Account" section of the Settings screen. You will be able to select Metric or Imperial according to your preference.

The majority of scans are received within 5 minutes, but there are factors which could cause delays. If you have not received your scan results within an hour, it may have been due to an incorrect email address being entered at the time of your scan. If you entered an email address in the body scanner that is different from your Orangetheory membership email address, your scan will not display. You will need to have a new scan performed with the correct email address.

Please consult with your healthcare professional for results interpretation.

Yes, any eligible classes completed on your profile prior to the feature release will be automatically added. There is nothing you need to do.

Any eligible classes recorded on your account will be added to your overall class count 24 hours after the eligible class has been completed.

No, a change to your home studio will not affect your eligible class count accumulation. Eligible classes taken at other studios you visit will count toward your total class count.

Yes, whether or not you wear an OTbeat™ Heart Rate Monitor during a class has no impact on whether a class is counted or not. As long as you are completing an eligible class type, the class will count towards your overall class count.

If you decide to early or late cancel a class, that class will not be counted toward your overall class count because the class was not actually taken/completed.

If there is a discrepancy with the total number of classes being counted/shown in your Orangetheory mobile app, please contact our technical support team by clicking on “Settings” within the mobile app, selecting “App Support” under the Help section and starting a conversation with our support team.
