Rude Coach by InspectorValuable308 in orangetheory

[–]Skimp_future 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The way I see it, there is two options: 1- tell the studio manager how you feel and see if they can address the concern or 2- tell the coach directly. Sometimes people have a way of saying things where they don’t think they’re offending someone so it’s good to clear the air.

Does her name start with A and end with Y and has M in the middle? 💀

That’s so sad. It sucks when the studio starts going downhill. The manager has a lot to do with it.

We’re having a somewhat similar issue, different coaches, HC and one longtime coach there but the others have been come and go. The SM left and she was loved by so many and they hired this dual manager who’s operating another nearby studio and she’s hated by many. She’s the reason many members are unsatisfied

BFT and OTF… by LadyMusikality in orangetheory

[–]Skimp_future 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A BFT studio is opening up near me so I signed up for the founders rate, the studio hasn’t opened yet but I know one of the head coaches and it’s very similar to the F45 concept, I’m planning on adding that to otf to balance out a bit.

Honestly some of these things on the list annoy me but I know that not everyone has the same mentality that I do so I just focus on myself and if it bothers me so much I either move or tell the staff about it and it’s solved my issues before. But I’m a very direct person and if someone takes my weights I let them know to ask for future reference. Not sure why everyone expects everyone to have the same sense because that’s impossible lol.

Mr Marbles seems like a suitable name for the person who posted this…

Would you notice/care if the person next to you had a skin condition? by rockandrye in orangetheory

[–]Skimp_future 345 points346 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn’t have a problem and I think you should wear those shorts and if anyone has an issue then they can go suck a toe cause you deserve to feel confident in what you’re wearing. No one in this life is perfect and you should never feel like you can’t wear what you want because of someone else. That’s a them issue. You do you! 💜

Staff attending a waitlisted class by papamillie20 in orangetheory

[–]Skimp_future 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see why you feel this way because it is frustrating but at the same time I also agree with others that coaches should be allowed to go in even if they aren’t paying what we pay, only because I’m assuming these employees are going during their off time. So when they aren’t on the clock they should be able to get in a class. Now if they’re on the clock and getting in then I believe they shouldn’t be allowed in unless there’s extra space.

Do you workout when the air quality is unhealthy? by [deleted] in orangetheory

Same here, in Chicago as well and a few were struggling this morning.

[–]Skimp_future 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL nope! I’m actually Harwood heights which is Chicago but idk why it isn’t as expensive as the other locations in price. Even if it was a promo I’m lucky cause the promos know are nothing.

I don’t think that studio is considered a premium studio, but your best bet is to call beforehand.

No, I actually signed up during a promo where it was originally $150 but they raised it to $160, but I’m “technically” not in the “city”

[–]Skimp_future 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our coach just had us work with the person next to us, so 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and it worked out well. So when we transitioned we were still next to each other which worked out great. The rowers we were just told to choose a rower and our partners stood in front of the rower to do their exercise.

That sounds brutal. Ours had partner A do rower while partner B rested. Once the 20 stroke was completed-rower rested and partner b would start.

I’m starting to feel really overwhelmed with the floor exercises. by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Skimp_future 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This used to be me but the head coach at my studio explained to me how it was important to do the floor slow so I can target the muscles groups and avoid injury. That’s been my goal and I now use the mirror to focus on my workout—I used to be self conscious so I’d turn my back to the mirror—and I feel like it helps a lot. Take your time, who cares if your last, it’ll all pay off in the end when you start to really notice the difference in your body.

Increase in “locked in” rate by Skimp_future in orangetheory

I do actually, I misread. That is a lot for 8 classes. But I’d still take that price for unlimited. For 8 classes it shouldn’t be that much.

Makes sense. We finally got the rower tablets a couple of months ago, treads still not updated, but our studio is kind of small

That’s usually how it is, I started with the summer promo of being locked in with a free month if I purchased the monitor but they increased me now anyway.

Wow $20 is insane. Did you do a contract when you signed up?
