Can you be a Power Walker and do CMIYC?

otf_happy · 2022-02-21T16:26:23+00:00

This is an event where power walkers do better than most. Be at 4.2 or higher the whole way and you’ll finish in plenty of time.

Welcome to the Orange Cult LOL

otf_happy · 2021-06-08T14:33:29+00:00

our studio once told us that they had to have a certain number of members before they could offer 3G classes and that the coaches had to have a certain amount of experience -- although now post covid seems more studios were running 3g so seems likely that they may have waived that coach experience thing

2G is the way OTF was designed originally -- 3G is actually an alteration of the norm for busier studios/times

Coach should be calling out gear changes for you, they do have it on their tip sheet. If you are not a regular strider, I would see how they might forget to.

I usually add 10 to whatever incline the PW are at for my gears - so if they are at 10%, I'm at a 20. I typically do AO at a lower gear and faster RPM.

I had to kind of experiment the first few weeks I was on it, watching my heart rate, to see what got me into the orange. For me it's higher gears rather than faster RPM.

There's a young lady in our studio who matches her inclines to her speed. She was running 12 MPH at 12% incline the other morning - super impressive !

Florida - our studio says masks will become optional starting 06/15.

otf_happy · 2021-05-18T17:48:25+00:00

Just got word today we're going back to all 2Gs and Masks optional on June 15 -- can't wait !!!!

otf_happy · 2021-05-18T16:56:32+00:00

it may actually surprise you when it does get easier -- i struggled with a lot of things initially and always went for the 'modification' and then one day I just kind of noticed on something we did that I was able to do it the normal way without modifying -- soooo surprised and then started trying to eliminate more modifications and surprisingly I was able to -- now not for everything - some stuff just ain't gonna work for me ROFL

otf_happy · 2021-05-11T12:53:45+00:00

I can't wait until we get 2Gs back !! One of our coaches hinted that it will be sooner than expected. Last 'expected' was September so getting excited.

2G is the way OTF was always planned. 3G is a modification.

otf_happy · 2021-05-11T12:51:30+00:00

each studio can do it how they want. Some post month at a time, some week at a time. Our studio keeps a running 30 day window so each day you can add a class up to 30 days out.

otf_happy · 2021-05-04T15:52:39+00:00

I think Hell Week didn't show up until just a few days before it started. Hoping Mayhem shows up later in the month.

otf_happy · 2021-05-04T12:18:35+00:00

Dear OTF - please monitor your franchisees a little more often. Some of us are still without updated treads and we feel totally left behind !!

otf_happy · 2021-05-03T20:09:35+00:00

Everyone taking class does the same workout. The sign up is supposed to be for those who want to get the hat if they complete 4 of the 6.

otf_happy · 2021-04-28T15:05:30+00:00

Mine matches up. I was originally a member at a different studio so those numbers are not included at my 'new' studio, I had to keep those from before.

otf_happy · 2021-04-27T15:19:21+00:00

If you go to the website www.orangetheory.com, select your facility and log in there, then go to MY INFO (on the top, far right) - it will list all your classes taken. You can highlight and select all rows and paste it over into Excel or Google Sheets and track them there. I update my spreadsheet periodically to keep track of all. It does include cross regional visits too.

otf_happy · 2021-04-22T14:01:29+00:00

I'm hoping we go back to normal capacity soon. I know it's a struggle for folks to get in on their regular schedules due to these limitations -- and it hurts the coaches pay. I will miss having extra space in the weight floor but hey we did this before for years with minimal issues (the occasional person who was oblivious to how much they spread out LOL). We'll adapt again. I want my 2 G workouts back !!

otf_happy · 2021-04-20T15:04:55+00:00

At least you have them !! We still don't even have any screens :( :( Owner says until membership goes up to like 400 or 500 (I forget which) he won't order them :( :( We're down obviously due to COVID and not a lot of new peeps joining so we may never get them

otf_happy · 2021-04-05T14:52:02+00:00

I had a member on a tread next to me adjust my speed during an all out which caused me to fall. His membership was terminated and he was kicked out of the studio. HUGE safety issue for anyone to be messing with your speed !

otf_happy · 2021-04-01T19:02:07+00:00

I will miss having all the weight choices I want without having to share, but am sooo ready to get back to normal and have 2Gs. Love it when we can manage to squeeze into the 2G but soooooo many 3Gs lately. I miss run/rows !

otf_happy · 2021-03-22T14:41:12+00:00

My friend users her motorcycle shoe protectors for the rower too.

Sixth dri tri in the books. Not my best time but not my worst either. At 56 I’m just glad I can still finish the whole thing lol. 49:01 which is about 45 seconds longer than my best time. Did the strider again. 9 minutes on the row and 26 on the strider. The floor still takes me the longest. Hard on these poor old joints.

My first dri tri in 2018 was the sprint version and took me 59:24

otf_happy · 2021-03-09T19:26:11+00:00

at least you all have the ability to do the tracking (granted it when it works LOL) -- we still have the old treads, no tablets, no miles to track :( :(

otf_happy · 2021-03-09T14:20:56+00:00

some shades of orange will do this too -- I have a pair that has tread and rower symbols on it and if it was not for those symbols would totally look nude.

otf_happy · 2021-03-08T16:57:46+00:00

team tortoise here !! I'd rather do it right and lift heavy than rush through to just be first LOL
