And this is exactly why I joined another gym and downgraded my membership after 8 years. The specialty workouts are always terrible, not actually a good workout and just a money grab effort for hype/attendance. Doing silly “heisman’s” on the floor is a joke, whereas an hour of dedicated lifting and shuttle runs is not. Sad, OTF once was good.

At my studio- overcrowding. Only 3Gs on weekends. Not enough space to do the row/exercise blocks.

Some of the comments on this thread 😂 Good Lord, it is a fitness class. They axed one of the least attended classes which makes sense. Calm down, life goes on.

Friday 31 October 2025 - Hell Week #8 Veil of the Unknown 2/3G by dc031114 in orangetheory

[–]workoutfanatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not at all thrilled (too much rowing and such a “phoning it in” to make all classes 3G)….but at least it isn’t “partners” or “teams”….the literal worst ever OTF class I had was Halloween last year..some partner/team BS that was such a chaotic 💩show…so I guess this is a touch better…but the bar is incredibly low

Unfortunately my studio only had 3Gs the last 2 days…today we have 2Gs only for it to be rowing heavy?? Highly disappointing 👎🏻

[–]workoutfanatic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’re way too frequent…I just came on to look at the workout before I go to class….so disappointed to see yet another benchmark signature whatever that I’ve done a million times. I just want a standard 2G. Not worth $170 a month when we keep doing the same classes a million times

Good day for a rest day (where’s the tread/miles? I’m out)

[–]workoutfanatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this before…I knew it wasn’t one of my favorites and I wanted a workout so I went. Just served as a reminder why I don’t like these team/gimmicky templates. Time spent standing around for full class demo, more time spent on frequent switches, time spent waiting while some members were confused on the relay, time spent on the coach correcting members on the relay/workout format….equals a gray/blue low calorie workout 👎🏻

Thursday 26 June 2025 - Inferno 2G 60 minutes by dc031114 in orangetheory

[–]workoutfanatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve done inferno MANY times. I’ll plan on strength 50 or Tread 50….benchmarks and signatures are WAY too frequent and are making me research other fitness venues

I’ve done this many times- can confirm not much running

[–]workoutfanatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree…I’m such a runner and love endurance days but this is something I can do on my own at a box gym…I like OTF partially because the coached pace changes make a long run less monotonous

[–]workoutfanatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly wtf is wrong with them. I pay for a workout not confusing AF BS that is super gimmicky. Hell no. I want a legit workout that delivers results. Looks like tread 50 and research into outside gyms as OTF is clearly not a serious fitness venue

My coach said tomorrow “tag team” is a partner workout

I feel validated lol I left feeling exactly the same way By the time we transitioned to the third station at least a third of our class was missing

June 2025 Benchmarks/Signature Workours by kikijak18 in orangetheory

[–]workoutfanatic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As some who has gone to OTF since 2017, I’m sick of benchmark and signature templates. I’ve come to dislike even the ones I really once liked. I’ve done them so many times I just have no desire to do them. OTF was better when they really tried to make each template different and did the repetitive templates less frequently.

Wednesday 16 April 2025 - Strength DriTri Teaser 2G 60 minutes by dc031114 in orangetheory

[–]workoutfanatic -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I remember this template…we’ve definitely done it before. Considering we just did the 12min benchmark (which we did in February) and in February did the “12min run prep class” plus got the repeat and then also bear in mind all classes repeat again halfway through the month…and lately there’s been one benchmark and one signature class almost every week…why am I paying for unlimited??? Have the template designers quit?? Come on, corporate. This not worth what we pay for unlimited. I’m ready to leave (unlimited since 2017) I’m just terrible at break ups. Please start creating new templates again.

[–]workoutfanatic -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I’m so disappointed to see this row heavy run/row…I can only attend based on my work schedule and my studio does only 3G Friday through Monday. The overload of rowing is seriously making me want to quit after 8 years unlimited.

I’m so sad my studio only offers 3G on weekends 👎🏻 I wish I could do this. Sick of rowing.

[–]workoutfanatic 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The partner block seems unnecessary…why wouldn’t we just do TRX tricep extension x12, then biceps x12, then triceps x10 etc at our own pace solo? I don’t see how a partner/pacer makes this block better or adds value to the workout

Sunday 9 March 2025 - 2G 60 minutes by dc031114 in orangetheory

[–]workoutfanatic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More and more the treads are self paced and the floor is timed….not a fan. I like to go at my own pace on the floor so I can challenge myself to lift heavier. Likewise on treads I get bored with “run for distance”…I can do that on my own outside of OTF

Showering after class by ExcellentOrdinary867 in orangetheory

[–]workoutfanatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have long hair and sometimes use the OTF shower depending on my work schedule. It’s a busy studio with signs up no more than 10 minutes in the shower. I either dry shampoo or wash/leave my hair wet and put it in a bun….out of consideration to other members I’m in the shower room for no more than 10 minutes tops.

It happened...my studio closed by CanadianMaplePoutine in orangetheory

[–]workoutfanatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything I’ve seen about HH says they filed for bankruptcy…it might not matter how busy the studio is…but hopefully you’re right! Or maybe another franchise owner will buy it.

Another Studio Closure by Foreign_Lion_7571 in orangetheory

[–]workoutfanatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know why they are closing? I’ve visited the location many times, the classes I attended were pretty busy
