This is for a fitness company that gives out tickets. They wanted it to be motivational, 'head-turning', and energizing.

Energizing, yes. Head-turning, ok. I'm not sure a logo can be motivational, but this one's punchy at least.
An issue to consider: the black dots in the corners and black beveling make the ticket shape look like a riveted metal plate. That combined with the machined lettering made me think "auto parts."
You've got some energy, now rein it in a bit, find where that energy is coming from and preserve that—and only that.
The large empty space after "fit" sucks the energy out of the logo. I'd suggest making "fit" much larger. "Ticket" could be much smaller; the ticket shape already communicates that message. Make "fit" the typographic focal point.
The black fill below "fit" reduces contrast; I'd eliminating it.
Small type below logo is way too small.
To me the orange background circle draws too much attention. Focus should be on the ticket and name, not the background. I'd either eliminate it or tone it down in some way.
Maybe the ticket itself should be orange, and the type reversed out in white.
Don't mean to sound overly critical with all these suggestions; just trying to offer some friendly advice.
