[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did it for about a year and then got sick of it and moved on. The perks are the accountability - you will go and just shut your brain off. Downsides: it’s $189 a month, it’s mostly HIUT cardio which is bad for your hormones if you’re a middle aged woman (spikes cortisol) and the focus on weights is paltry- short segments on the floor and often a cardio component included even there. This sounds mean but when you attend OTF and look at the bodies of your classmates, it’s proof that it’s not a very effective workout for creating the lean muscled look most people want.

It’s fine if you’re a true beginner who just needs a new routine. Beyond that, I wouldn’t bother. [/quote]

So it kind of sounds like Curves fitness…the circuit-based 30-minute workout fitness place for women in the 90s that popped up everywhere then went out of business. Lots of 40-65 year old women there who were essentially needing to get off the sofa or needed a change from sitting all day at a keyboard. But no one ever seemed to change their weight or body shape through the workout.[/quote]

LOL flashback to the past. I had a former coworker who was doing Curves and Curves changed to some new format and she was going to stop going because she was getting "too muscley." [/quote]
