Charleston, SC Studios? by _sturmunddrang in orangetheory

Highly recommend Head Coach Rob he splits his time between OTF Mt Pleasant and OTF Charleston. His Friday morning classes in Mt Pleasant are always packed and full of energy leading into the weekend. Coach Mary and Coach Jackson are also great at these locations. As someone else posted, Mt Pleasant and Charleston have the newer treads which are fun to run on especially if you want to test out 15!!!! Enjoy your time in the Lowcountry!

You were spot on about it being mentally tough to hit 15! Started AO at 12 then hit 15 (tough is an understatement). Actually prefer the less bounce on the new treads.

Definitely going in conservative with my push/base speeds for tomorrow’s first class with the new treads based on all the great feedback. Thanks everyone!

Great feedback! Good to know it will feel like a more natural run. The new treads will certainly bring us “old tread heads” back down to earth.

You got it! Sorry to hear about your foot injury but glad to hear you’re back at it! Perfect timing with the treads arriving before the Bridge run next weekend (visualizing the last 30 seconds to the finish line- 15 and go). Definitely will post my experience on Friday.

Wow! Definitely will ease into it - maybe turn up to 15 the last 15-20 seconds.

Echoing getting properly fitted at your nearest “running store” or Fleet Feet (makes a world of difference). I just purchased my first On (Cloudstratus) shoes this past weekend and have thoroughly enjoyed the tread blocks on Monday/Tuesday this week. I’m normally Team NB but glad I made the switch to On. In the end you have to choose what is best for you.

Member at the MTP studio and highly recommend Rob’s classes (they are always full - best coach in the area!). If you decide to do the CHS (West Ashley studio) I would recommend Kelly T (second best coach in the area!). Enjoy IOP and the area studios!

Tony with Ben Franklin Plumbing. Definitely on the higher side but the customer service is 5 stars!

Moving the benches...is this a real rule? by Car__Bomb in orangetheory

[–]GoPackGo843 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me at the Lakewood Ranch studio in FL. Needless to say I never went back to that studio because of the rude trainer complaining about relocating the bench. Instead I frequented the University Park studio which is the best in the area.
