[quote=Anonymous]I have done both. Worked with a trainer for a bit, did OTF for 2 years before moving to more strength training.

I think OTF is great if you are looking to get into an exercise routine. The group dynamic and comradery is a great motivator. However, while it has a weight training aspect I consider the overall workout to be more or a cardio workout. Yes, you will build some strength, especially if you are a new to fitness. But you can only build so much strength when lifting in a fast paces environment with limited weight options.  I think people love OTF because they are chasing a feeling vs results. That is you walk out of there feeling like you got a great workout. But if building muscle is a goal you will only get so far with OTF.

As for personal training. If you want to truly build muscle and get stronger a trainer is the way to go, but do note, building muscle takes time, women will not gain a ton of muscle overnight. The right trainer matters as does having a plan to follow once you stop using a trainer. Trainer are great at teaching you proper form and hopefully educating you on how to lift to get stronger.[/quote]
