[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did OTF for a month. I liked how each class was different and I didn’t have to think about my workout, however [b]if someones form was off or doing something incorrectly, I don’t know that the trainer would correct[/b] your form or is even qualified like a personal trainer in anatomy. I found myself being really competitive and pushing myself to get in the orange zone even when I knew I was hurting myself. So saving me from myself plus wanting to have more challenging strength training has kept me from signing up. [/quote]

This varies a lot by the trainer. Some are great and some are terrible. [b]It especially drove me crazy when someone was terrible at rowing and the trainers would not say anything[/b]. They rarely corrected rowing form which is crazy when that is 1/3 of the class and some people are doing it completely wrong. [/quote]

Such an easy way to hurt yourself.

OP, I also think that OTF is good if you're new to working out and don't have a feel for different exercises and equipment.  If you're pretty strong already, I'd recommend Barry's Bootcamp.  You switch between tread and floor exercises (or you can do floor exercises the whole time), and each day is focused on a specific area (e.g., arms/abs on Mondays).  It's a much tougher workout than OTF and trainers do correct your form.[/quote]
