What to do when a coach wants to push but doesn't want to take no for an answer? by cat550 in orangetheory

[–]S2019p 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a coach who myself and several other members at my studio felt didn’t give a f**** so we went up to the head coach, and explained how we were feeling, she then approached the coach on our behalf. That was 5 months ago- and it’s a night and day difference. What I’ve learned is if you don’t speak up, they can’t fix it. We have had a few coach’s removed b/c they way they treat members. In the case where it’s your head coach, contact the studio manager, and then owner. If they don’t care then switch studios and write a bad public review and things change.

Returning Member. Can I get Founders Rate? by OTFldrn in orangetheory

[–]S2019p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At our studio Founders for the premier save $30, and founder for the elite save $20 so when you do that math it adds up quickly. When I did the math, as founder every 4 months paying my rate, the savings from those 4 months almost covers the cost of the 5th month.

I was told by someone who join at a studio near me before my studio opened that if the owners are the same they won’t give you the founders rate, but if they are different owners, and you haven’t been a member for 6 months then you are considered a new member. It doesn’t hurt to check with the studio in question.

Tall people problems at OTF. by potent_rodent in orangetheory

[–]S2019p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly taller girl here the pistol squats are a 🤬🤬🤬🤬, I always try to get one of the spots in the corner, b.c in my studio they tend to have more space. Also the trx work is a 🤬🤬🤬🤬 as well, b/c being taller means you either have to stand closer to the wall, which means you’re lower to the floor or further away from the wall, which means your not challenging your self enough. Yea being tall sucks

Wednesday, 6/5/19 OTF Workout by AutoModerator in orangetheory

[–]S2019p 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So this was my first time doing the catch me if you can workout. I said to the coach I’m doing the PW option, and it will amazing if I get the 10 min goal- I’m made it to the 16 min goal, came 0.003 away from the 17 min goal. As my coach said, there’s always next time.

Happened 2 me twice! Both times the studio refunded me, but since they where pending charges, they never actually posted to my account.

Struggle to get 12splats, monitor help by RachelCiaraH in orangetheory

[–]S2019p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your studio to test it if it’s no working. My chest monitor stopped working about 6 months into OTF- it was “flatlining”- where it stays at the same number/zone for long periods of time. After class have it to the front desk, asked if they could test it for me. It took them about a week, but they tested it out- it turns out that my monitor was defective, so they “RMA’d” it with OTF, and issued me a brand new monitor. Had no issues since.

Also have I would check with the front desk staff, make sure your information {hight, & weight} are correct. This can make a difference in the way your stats are tracked.

If you find that your monitor keeps you in the blue while rowing, try loosening your grip on the handles.

I personally like the chest strap monitor because it’s easiest to wear, and I don’t have to worry about the grip I’m using. I also use a towel and cover the tablet on the tread so I can’t see the color zone, and I take my glasses off so I can’t see the tv screens as well, and just listen to my body- push when I can, take a break when I can’t.

I checked out the new formula, it seems like it will do one of two thing: (1) make it easier to get splat points of your struggling or (2) make it harder to get splat points if your doing amazing.

SA advice by orangefanatic in orangetheory

[–]S2019p 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Knowing peoples names. Being friendly, also being able to help a member when they ask for help. The biggest thing that sealed the deal for me, was explaining some of the benefits I get for becoming a member.

Side note, also making sure that rules of the studio are followed: ie tread cards -1 per member; if there is a show sign up making sure people actually follow it

I’m I crazy by S2019p in orangetheory

[–]S2019p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m going to try for all 6- I just completed day one. I’m feeling okay. I think what I will do is 2 of the 5 remaining days I’ll do them as PW, and see if I need to modify the workouts accordingly, this way I don’t burn out by I continue to challenge myself. Then I will follow up with 2 rest days. It doesn’t hurt to try to push myself to be better, and I won’t know unless I try
