[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did OTF for a few years. I liked it for awhile but then just kind of hit a wall with boredom. I also felt like it was just getting harder on my body. I have lower back problems so never loved the rowing, and it just started to feel worse. I also get exercise-induced bronchiospasms when I run on the treadmill there that I don't get when I run outside or do other types of cardio.

I also never loved the people at my gym. It felt cliquey with all the regulars who are there like 5 times a week. I go to Burn Boot camp now and prefer it. The workouts are hard, but there is more variation. I don't love the constant encouragement to high five other people, but overall it feels more friendly. [/quote]

There are definitely people at OTF who make it a huge part of their social life. This part started to annoy me before I ultimately canceled my membership. I don’t want dress up theme days. I don’t want to be hounded to take a group picture because it’s John’s 250th class or Stacy hit a PR on the rower that day or it was Everest day or whatever. Constant pushes to pay $15 for team challenges and “anything but a water bottle!” days and cookie exchanges - it felt insane. Some people need that to motivate them I suppose but I felt like I just wanted to walk in and get a good workout and go, not try to be in a giant group of kid camp activities. [/quote]
