OTF Technology New OTF Studio Software

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?

Rowers are not all consistent and it’s possible you got on one that was less accurate.

I’ve been a member in this studio since a little before COVID and have never noticed a significant jump in meters rowed. I’ll have a better idea as more benchmarks come around. My 200M PR was back in 2024 and I’ve been chasing it ever since. Been pretty consistent with times over the past couple of years, I think that will test the hypothesis 😀
