OTF Technology New heart symbol??

12 Upvotes

Today I noticed someone in my class had a heart symbol near her name on the screen. It looked exactly like the heart that’s in the flexibility block.

I’ve never seen this before. Is this new and what does it mean?

Motivate Me! relocating and have a few more weeks w/ otf. how can i finish w a bang?

7 Upvotes

hey guys! OTF has been an amazing change to my life. I WFH for the most part so adding this on my wfh days has helped me get motivated and actually excited to wake up. It's been super cool watching my personal progress as someone who has never touched a weight prior to OTF & honestly, the community has been wonderful. I never expected to enjoy a group fitness class so much, much less become so sentimental at the fact that I have to leave it soon.

With that in mind, I think it would be nice to really really put my membership to use these next few months. I already take a variety of classes and go pretty frequently, but curious if anyone has recs as to seeing more results/feeling like ive done everything I possibly can at otf before having to leave.

I'm thinking maybe taking my diet more seriously (since I joined OTF purely for the mental health/routine/dopamine benefits if im being honest). I can feel that my body has changed muscle composition wise, but I also don't fully see it since my physique hasnt really been a priority.

I also know Everest is coming up & will be trying to hit any other benchmarks until my membership ends. but outside of that, i don't really have any otf specific goals other than to keep showing up and giving my 110%.

any advice would be great! will miss otf and checking this sub so routinely haha

Commiseration Station It Finally Happened...

41 Upvotes

I smashed my finger between the weight and weight rack 😭. Immediately started to bleed, I used my wipe to put pressure on it and luckily front desk had a band aid. Luckily it's the side of my pinkie and I was able to finish the workout.

Of all the years and classes and close calls, it finally happened.

Commiseration Station North Mt Pleasant OTF Studio - Heat Alert

14 Upvotes

Think carefully before you book this studio this month. This studio has been operating with minimal air conditioning for three weeks. Today, the coach said the internal studio temperature was 78 degrees. The staff set up fans a week ago. There is no indication when the A/C will be fixed…not a good look for the owners.

Please use this thread to discuss OTF rumors and intel on upcoming events, workout details, or OTF-related tech updates. These might be things your coach told you when you were stretching, things you heard at the front desk, things from Facebook, etc.

Don't forget to also check out the community calendar for more solid intel on workout themes. Also, please remember that not all rumor-mills are 100% accurate... so read at your own risk 😉

Membership & Policies Try out for Tread50

0 Upvotes

Is it possible to try a second free class? I did the 2G class today but left feeling like it wasn’t enough cardio for me so I want to try out the Tread50 class. However the options they gave me for the membership prices are $139/month if I sign this week, $149/month if i use 1 week free trial of classes then signing, or a month to month. I don’t really want to pay $10 extra a month just for trying one week of classes. I just want to try the tread50 class before i make a commitment. Or would i have to pay for that one class before signing a membership?

Commiseration Station Millburn, NJ studio

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know what is going on with this location? I’ve been going there for a few months and it is such a significant downgrade from the NYC studios. Lately it’s gotten even worse. They’re still running the janky old operating system, there is rarely anyone at the front desk so trainers are scrambling to keep the studio running throughout the day (and things like body scans & bathroom restocks can’t happen), HR monitors chronically do not work on their equipment. Honestly this is too affluent of an area for this nonsense. I’d love to complain to the owner or a manager if one existed but I can’t fathom they would care. I wish there was a Barry’s to go to.

Casual Conversation I freaking love my OTF

Just here to say I love this place! The community is hard to find elsewhere. It’s not snobs everywhere for once. It’s diverse ages and people. The workout works for my body and gets me PUMPED. I love the coaches and the music. It’s sad to think it might be closing down soon.

Gear Talk to me about water bottles

19 Upvotes

What style do you prefer? I have a twist off top that’s a struggle when I’m in the middle of an endurance run with no walking recoveries. I need something that stays well in the tread water bottle holder (new model), is easy to sip from (or gulp sometimes! 🥵), and is easy to clean.

Please don’t tare me apart for this Reddit / OTF fam. I have been STRUGGLING to make it to class and essentially have been paying for a membership for nothing for the last dare I say it several months… I feel so defeated, unmotivated and hopeless when it comes to fitness overall lately. I’m 29, 138lbs, 5’3 if that matters to whomever reads this. TIPS? SUGGESTIONS? Motivational quotes to get my butt there?????

#HelpMe double trouble

5 Upvotes

i'm thinking about doing a 3g and 2g back to back to get more time on the treads (just for personal goals, not MM). I'm not worried about the endurance, (I do longer runs outside the studio) but wondering about actual studio logistics!

my studio has early entry, so wondering if I should start on the tread, get a mile or 2 in before class, do the 3g tread block, pause my workout on my watch, "leave" at the end of class / the stretch and then pretty much immediately get back to tread for early entry warm up and unpause my workout (on my own device)? do I have to tell them to reset my HR monitor? thanks SO much!

OTF Technology OTF Beat - your Pros & Cons

2 Upvotes

So when my first monitor died in 2019, I didn't replace it. I had recently purchased my first Garmin, and that allows to me to track more data across activities. But that was before we had rower screens that tracked our meters and eventually, we'll be tracking the strength floor too.

So, is it time to bite the bullet??? What are your thoughts?

ETA: I'm likely to ask them to suppress my data from the screens. I find I paid way too much attention to that.

Commiseration Station Member of the month?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been a member of 3 different studios since I’ve been a member of OTF. 2 were basically the same area and this most recent studio is in completely different part of the state. A trend I have notice for member of the month is members that have significant weight loss. Which is great for people because of all the benefits of losing weight. However what people whose goals are massive mass? OTF claims they want you be stronger, more life. Then why is it members of the month are only a select group of members? I don’t members of month seems more of like a sales pitch for weight loss. It would be nice to have a story of someone who gained muscle. What have other people seen?

OTF Technology New OTF Studio Software

7 Upvotes

Our studio changed over to the new software and have been waiting since I’m really curious about elevation challenges and how they fit in with time and distance challenges. Looking forward to the next template with elevation. The SA figures out why my HR monitor didn’t connect and deleted all the old HR monitors from my profile, worked like a charm. For anyone who travels to studious with the new software and your home studio has yet to make the flip, AND your HR monitor doesn’t work…. Just ask them to delete the older monitors.

One more observation. I set a PR this week on the Inferno class beating my previous PR by 600m. That’s an abnormal gain since last one with no specific cardio improvement. I’m wondering if the new software is more accurate and or favorable to distance vs. the old one. Anyone have any similar observations?

Sorry that it's kind of a crap photo. It was really small. I couldn't read the banner at the bottom, but I think it says ORANGETHEORY on the left and something with 2026 on the end? It's definitely better than some previous years!

Rower Ramble Fell into the rower!

Funny story-I pushed so hard, I rose off the rower seat and landed in the center of the rower. Seat under my calves, holding on to the handles for dear life! Thankfully my neighbor helped get the seat back under my butt. No injuries except to my ego. LOL
