Company Description

West Coast Fitness is a leading franchisee of Orangetheory Fitness with 50+ studios in Los Angeles, San Francisco’s Bay area, Sacramento, and Ohio. Our mission is to lead, support, and inspire the Orange Passion. We do this by focusing on our amazing and talented team and emphasizing the 3 Cs of Success—Clarity, Communication, and Collaboration. We strive to grow future leaders with an atmosphere of inclusivity, enthusiasm, and empathy. Established in Los Angeles, CA, in 2014, WCF prides itself on building teams that break records, innovate with intention, and continue to expand our reach.

Orangetheory Fitness

Led by highly skilled coaches, each Orangetheory workout incorporates endurance, strength, and power elements through a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, TRX Suspension Training, free weights, and more. As a heart‑rate‑based total‑body group workout, OTF combines science, coaching, and technology to guarantee maximum results from the inside out. The result is more energy, visible toning, and a supercharged metabolism—for more caloric afterburn, more results, and more confidence—all to deliver you MORE LIFE.
