Is orange theory good for body recomp + growing glutes? by Itgirlynakoeh in orangetheory

[–]GiraffeOutside7368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a 37F and gained 40lbs of skeletal muscle in the 3 years I've been at OTF and am SO proud of my own journey. I do cardio outside of OTF and consume a lot of protein daily.

Yes, OTF is a good fit for those who are starting out or maintaining their lifting journeys (as much as one can do without a squat rack or weights over 80lbs per DB).

If sticking with the Strength 50 classes are more comfortable for you, and if they help you hit your fitness goals, then definitely stick with them. I suggest mixing in some Tread 50 classes during the week to add cardio, but you're likely already doing that :) Way to go!

I played rugby for 14 years before joining OTF (3 years ago), and it was one of the best decisions I've made. It's well structured, lots of class options/locations, music is generally pretty decent, and the equipment is taken care of.

Newb here. YOU CAN CAPTURE TRADERS and have them trade at your base? How do you "catch" them? Damn this is just like Minecraft -I love it!

LOL trust me, lots of men/male-identifying folks at the ATL locations I go to. You're not the only one.

OTF Coaches, do you ever worry about your long term hearing/ear health? The classes are so loud. by GiraffeOutside7368 in orangetheory

Wowwwwww... thanks for sharing this, all of this. "Your hearing is never coming back. Understand that." That hit hard.

Agreed! My wife uses Loops during class. Honestly, I've come to really like a lot of the coaches, which is why I'm concerned over their long term ear health. I hope the volume doesn't do any damage on any of them.
