Orangetheory Fitness cuts contract review time 80% with AI contract management

Orangetheory Fitness needed to standardize over 1,000 user agreements across its U.S. locations. Manual review of that volume was slow and made it hard to identify redundancies and ensure compliance with state-specific requirements.

Director of Legal Operations and Strategy Charlene Barone led an initiative using Ironclad’s AI contract management software. The team used AI to review agreements, flag redundancies, check state-specific compliance, and streamline standardization across locations.

Contract review time fell to 30 minutes per document—an 80% improvement versus manual methods. The project finished in nearly half the expected time and saved hundreds of legal team hours, freeing counsel for more strategic work.

• • AI contract management can compress large-scale agreement standardization without sacrificing compliance checks.
• • Measured review-time gains (to ~30 minutes per document) compound into major project-timeline savings.
• • Centralizing legal ops ownership (as Orangetheory did) helps drive adoption across a multi-location franchise.
