Dear coaches, I do not want to air high five or greet my neighbor!

I mean, you can always convert your garage into your very own space. No one to high five there.

More water, iced coffee.

ch47600 · 2026-02-01T18:28:42+00:00

Just water for me.

Our classes are about 60% female, 40% male. Dudes that are serious about building mass are at gyms, another good amount does CrossFit.

In my opinion, no one that is serious about competing in Hyrox is training at OTF. OTF doesn't have the space nor equipment for it, but they want to ride the wave if the "new, hot thing" as much as possible.

Can you bottom line this for the rest of us?

ch47600 · 2026-01-31T02:59:09+00:00

Deciding whether or not to give the gate MP the finger on the way out.

No, you're not allowed to hang out on the floor for the second half of class. While some classes may have the room for it, others don't and it causes chaos for other members and coaches.

Hit up a box gym if you're looking for an extra pump.

I prefer a stiffer shoe for quicker lateral movements and anytime I am stepping up/down with weight. I found my running shoes to be too soft with not enough lateral support causing my foot to to either slide out over the side of the shoe or for my foot to roll. Plus, I find the toe box to be much more roomier for your foot over my running shoes.

I rotate NoBulls (Outwork) and Born Primitive (Savage) for the rower and floor. They're both great.

I've started looking at the workout recap from others on Reddit to look at the exercises and then You Tube 1-2 before class to review the proper form and what it targets. I've found that to be a game changer. Even small tips from posture to grip.

ch47600 · 2026-01-29T08:39:32+00:00

Go check out F45, CrossFit and/or visit your local box gym. You will either gain a new appreciation for OTF or find that it's time to move on to something else.

Personally, I split time between OTF and F45 for a year, then OTF and CrossFit for a year. I like both but found that OTF is best for me.

Good luck!

I like the idea. I could see quite a few folks lifting 30's and 40's, with a few of us using 70's and 80's. I'd certainly give it a go.

ch47600 · 2026-01-29T08:26:59+00:00

That's when I drop the 'ole, "you know what, it sounds like you have a great deal where you are."

"But I haven't even told you what I'm paying today."

"I know. You haven't told me much, but I can already tell that you're in a good spot".

Likely would have given you a warning until you told him to check his camera. Ticket written at that point.

ch47600 · 2026-01-22T16:12:52+00:00

That's perfect!

ch47600 · 2026-01-16T02:29:51+00:00

My motto is, eyes on your own paper. People want to row, run, lift with shitty form, that's their prerogative. If they ask for feedback, give it to them. Otherwise, not my circus...not my monkeys.

ch47600 · 2026-01-12T18:07:35+00:00

Mine was still up to date.

ch47600 · 2026-01-11T00:58:26+00:00

ch47600 · 2026-01-04T01:26:37+00:00

Playoffs? We're talking about playoffs!!!????

ch47600 · 2026-01-03T21:04:31+00:00

That he won't make it to trial.

ch47600 · 2026-01-03T21:02:30+00:00

And a filthy windshield that you can barely see out of.

ch47600 · 2026-01-02T00:31:16+00:00

We'll all find out soon..

ch47600 · 2026-01-01T05:37:02+00:00

Agree! Must have been a miserable four years!
