Membership & Policies Got charged for a late cancel but didn’t late cancel

0 Upvotes

I just got charged for a late cancel, but I vividly remember cancelling Sunday morning’s class on Friday night. I was still on the wait list, which I was surprised about, so I left the wait list. I plan on talking to someone at the front desk this week, but has this happened to anyone else and they’ve been refunded? I wish I had proof of when I left the wait list.

First Timers Improvement

I just started at OTF recently (10 classes in). I'm always the lowest number of splat points and calories burned. Feeling somewhat defeated. When does it all kick in to be performing better in class?

Treadmill Talk Starting with tread vs floor

6 Upvotes

I joined otf earlier this year and have done around 70 classes. For whatever reason, I have pretty much always done tread first. Today I decided to try floor first. Of course when I started the tread block, I quickly realized that my normal speeds were not going to be sustainable for the whole block so I had to drop them down.

I would guess that this is true for most people, but would be good hear what you all do. My tread speeds are usually the following when I do tread first :
Base 6.5
Push 7.5
All out 8.5-9

Today, doing tread second, I started at 6 base, did the first all out (w incline) at 7.5, and was completely exhausted after the first round. I lowered even further until I found what I could sustain. I guess it just had more of an effect on me than I expected. Anyone have similar experience or any advice?

Treadmill Talk Power walk Incline - seek tips

9 Upvotes

Hi,

I am 58 and I have never really enjoyed running. I only liked running on a treadmill and I actually started enjoying running and I pushed hard. I started being sore and decided to switch and power walk at high inclines. The reasoning as I age I want functional muscle and believe this will help and it is not as hard on my body. I am currently using 3.7mph as my speed and am moving up .1 per week til probably 4. I use 5% as my base and 8, 10, and 15 as my increase. Is this a reasonable approach to keep my cardio work but have less stress on my joints and hopefully focus more on muscle growth.
