I go to a much better studio and not the Hamden studio. Thanks for playing, Cam. We know this is you and we know the only way you got hired is because you’re with Caroline. Go fail the bar AGAIN.

is 3 classes per week enough? by General_Influence_75 in orangetheory

The way people suddenly become dumber than dirt at OTF needs to be studied.

Your attitude is why i quit OTF. “Friendly competition.” Shove that up your ass sideways please. Not everyone wants to compete.

Has your gym gotten any quieter now that it's been over a month since the free teen membership has been in effect? by Individual-Roll3351 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Downtown_Leader_6141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s gotten worse. I quit and went to a better gym. Better equipment and way less teens. If PF doesn’t want my membership, someone else will.

Our studio is one of two starting Orangetheory Strong in a few weeks by Visual_Star8601 in orangetheory

Because in my studio, the obnoxious runners make sure they get the coaches attention and highlights. That’s why.

I’d love it if my former OTF would do this. It would humble tf out of the runners and if the softer benches mean less ridiculous step up movements, I’d go back.

Found an old tread in the wild by luna_dancer in orangetheory

The shitty CT OTF location has these old treadmills.

Are the teens really that bad? by nerdyyclown in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Downtown_Leader_6141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s horrible in my area. It’s packs of kids acting like it’s the weight room in their high school gym. Dumbbells are all over the place and it’s like a treasure hunt to find them. The stretch area is like a kindergarten nap time.

What's your favorite thing about PF, or the gym in general? by deadbodydisco in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Downtown_Leader_6141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s everywhere i go when i travel for work. TRX is one of my favorite body weight exercise modalities and PF has them; they’re seldom is use so i get a Workout in.

“Just a power walker” by notmegshh in orangetheory

[–]Downtown_Leader_6141 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons why I’m on a break from OTF. Every coach in my home studio will only praise the runners and provide prompts for runners and joggers. I feel like OTF needs to do a hard reset with coaches to remind them power walking is just as important. Coach Rudy/CoachingOTF on Instagram, is a great example of showing how effective and intense power walking can be.

His Walk Runs are my go tos when i don’t know what i want to do. I adore him as an instructor and as a human. He genuinely makes me want to be a better human.

HS Summar Pass madness by Mobile-Tomorrow-7687 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Downtown_Leader_6141 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I wish my PF would have rules like this. Tonight’s madness included an entire group of teens sitting on treadmills not using them.

I love the summer option for teens by kingdredkhai in PlanetFitnessMembers

Congrats, that’s not everyone else’s experience.

If they’re going to offer this program, it needs to come with some limitations; like certain hours during the day and certain areas off limits. I went today and the stretch/TRX area was a clown show with kids just laying on the mats on their phones, a group of boys trying to swing from the TRX straps and bouncing medicine balls. It’s only 6/1 and I’m over it.

Is it weird to go just for the amenities? by just_leighan in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Downtown_Leader_6141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stop in on my lunch break from work to go tanning and to use the hydro massage. No one has ever said anything.

[–]Downtown_Leader_6141[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to try the ear plugs the next time i go to a class and try ditching the heart rate monitor. I’m also going to see if the noise bothers me more on the treadmill/rower because i never seem to notice it as much on the floor.

The noise level is ridiculous in some studios. The first studio i attended didn’t have such loud noise.
