[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the accountability of having a class but the instructors at my gym were not interactive or inspiring. There wasn’t really any coaching on form or guidance like in CrossFit. With a good coach, it would have been alot better but I thought it was too cardio heavy and lacked coaching for the cost.

The zones are a joke.  I forgot to strap on my HRM once and my water bottle (where it was strapped) somehow achieved the same zone time I usually did.

It wasn’t worth the cost to me and the constant upsell push is what finally drove be away. I only wanted it as once a week to supplement my other workouts but [b]they would constantly push more classes even when I flat out asked them to stop. Calling, texting and emailing. It was really obnoxious. [/b]May have just been my location.[/quote]

It's not just your location.  One of my children was a Sales Associate at OTF and said they push the young staff very, very hard to continuously follow up with people, keep calling them, etc.  They're high-pressure sales tactics and very few OTFs care if you've said you want to be taken off their list.[/quote]

Isn't this true of many gyms? Canceling LA Fitness membership was a PITA. I think it's crummy, just noting that it doesn't seem specific to OTF.[/quote]

OTF is worse. They will keep calling and texting even when you ask them to stop over and over again. Emails and an occasional call I understand, or trying to save the sale if you’re cancelling… but this is not that. This is a constant push to upgrade your membership.[/quote]

I did  a promo a year ago and signed up for month of class.  I did 10 min of class and got tired of the instructor trying tell me that I couldn’t do the class without the stupid wrist monitor.  Asked if  it gave me superpowers or if provided other benefit that helped me getting in better shape.  It was clear he wanted to make a scene told him from up and walked out. And they kept calling and calling .[/quote]

They're trained to ignore you if you ask to "have [your] number taken off the list."  They'll pass it on to another Sales Associate or a new studio entirely.[/quote]
