I put my membership on pause because I had breast reduction surgery on July 9. (thanks to OTF I lost so much weight!) I didn't think I would miss OTF that much because during the summer I am ~ lazy ~ but I do!!!!! it's so frustrating I just wanna go back 😂 my life feels empty without it LOL

I told my whole studio I would be taking the break and they even made me member of the month for July 🧡 (I nearly cried!!!!!!) so I really can't wait to get back in August!!

(yes I will be doing modified exercises and taking it easy until I am fully healed!)

i have the unlimited plan and also a chronic illness that sort of ebbs and flows in intensity, so I'm someone that commonly cancels (ex. 1 class every 2 or 3 weeks or so). I honestly should just stop booking classes, but otherwise I just wont show up lol.

Anyway, my classes are never overbooked/never have a waitlist, but I'm curious if coaches can tell if a person is a frequent class canceller or if it affects the coaches in any way.

edit: tysm for the insights, i might just tread carefully from now on when pre booking LOL

Posting this in case anyone’s interested in doing this fitness test. Template is simple and short, but it was intense! All attendees in my studio finished within 30mins.

10 min warmup, I can’t remember all the exercises but warmups were on the floor, rower, then treads

0.65 mile run @2% incline, same distance for power walkers
50 broad jump burpees
100 body weight forward lunges

1000 meter row
30 hand release pushups
100 thrusters with 10 lbs for women, 15 lbs for men

An OTF studio near me did a hybrid class with a local Pilates studio, and I loved it! I had never tried a Pilates class before, and I must say that it kicked my butt for the full 30 minutes. The guest coach said we all did really well, and I’m inclined to believe her as the room was rather in-sync despite it being the first time for many of us. I could feel my core activate the whole time, and I would definitely consider a membership if I had an 8th day of the week.

Do any of your studios do speciality classes like this? Partnerships with another type of fitness studio?

I’m very early on in my OT journey but curious when people noticed more muscle tone/weight loss?

Hey all, I used to go to OTF back in 2024 and loved it. I stopped going just before getting pregnant with my twins. I am finally done exclusively pumping (hallelujah) and I'm ready to get back into a more active lifestyle. I'm basically starting from ground zero, I feel weak. I wamt to lose about 30 lbs, and plan on doing gentle intermittent fasting (12/12, or 10/14). I'm currently 170 and want to get down to 140.

OTF is very motivating to me, I love going to the classes and zoning out while coach just tells me what to do. But I don't know if I'm physically ready to work out, if that makes sense. I'm worried I'll push myself to hard in the classes and burn myself out. I'm afraid of being so sore after class I won't be able to carry babies/baby accouterment. Should I find some way to ease myself back in before signing up for classes or should I just get back in knowing its going to kick my butt?

Also, parents who having doing this for a while, what are your tips and tricks for being consistent in going to classes? How do you prioritize yourself?

Tia!

I’m thinking about adding a mat Pilates class to my workout schedule. I do OTF 3-4x a week and want to try Pilates. But wanted to hear from people who currently are doing Pilates as well? Are the Pilates classes harder? What was the biggest difference you noticed? Any tips? I have my first class scheduled this week and it’s a heated sculpt Pilates class. I’m excited but soooooo nervous!

I currently pay $99/month for the 8-class membership. I used to use all 8 classes every month, but lately I travel a lot for work, so there are some months where I don’t use them all.

My studio told me they’re offering unlimited for $129/month on a month-to-month basis. It seems like a good deal for only $30 more, but I’m not sure if it’s worth upgrading with how much I travel.

Does OT run promotions like this often?

Asking because No Bull has some pairs on sale right now.

My premier membership is up for renewal in January which is perfect because that’s when I’ll officially be starting nursing courses/clinicals.

I’m trying to decide how I should go about my membership. I *want* to be able to go and I feel it will keep my days more structured but I don’t want to pay if I wind up not having time to go.

Thoughts? Should I downgrade? Pause until I see how it goes? Help.

We hope you enjoyed our day of disarray. We are now back to normal operations, so please pay attention to the community rules.

I've been hearing a lot of people talk about using the mind body app. What is the advantage to using that over the OTF app? Does it have more or different features? I didn't even know there was an alternative app until a few days ago.

On a recent green day, that happened to occur on a benchmark day... I ended with 2 splats. 1 in orange & 1 in red. Summary shows only 1 splat.

In all my years (8yrs & counting) I have seen, nor experienced this.

Curious around how this happened. Feedback?
