[quote=Anonymous][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 is a burn opening eventually in Springfield- it’s months away but that’s the rumor.

I did their you tube lives when they were free before the app and I’ve been a few times as a guest.

How much do you pay? I can’t really justify $170 if I can’t get there everyday.

Burn seems like one of the clique-est ones out there. The one I’m familiar with in another state has all of that. And the same as above- group pictures, PR stuff, etc.  [/quote]

I do pay the $169. But I figure if I go 3 times per week it’s worth it. I don’t pay for any other fitness things right now. I like that there are so many class times and I can sign up last minute because the classes are much larger than OTF. And I can bring my kids if I really need to. The 45 min workout feels more doable than an hour in terms of the time commitment and effort level once I’m there.

Some people know each other and chat before/after class but it just feels like clique-y. The classes are big so you aren’t like standing there awkwardly while everyone else in the class talks and ignores you. I do see friends/neighbors there sometimes but we tend to have different schedules. There is a bit of the rah rah vibe when someone hits a milestone but you can just leave when class ends if you want. I guess I just overall like that I can blend in to a larger class vs. the small group at OTF. There’s also more diversity in terms of age and fitness levels. My OTF started to be a bunch of 20 something’s in their crop tops. I’m like yeah I used to look like that too but having a couple kids and aging tends to change things! [/quote]
