Katie, Maral, Cara and all the staff are great. Super motivating! “The Lake” is a great OTF site!
I love the follow up by the coaches to help doing your exercises
I love that if I schedule a class, it makes me work hard to ensure I actually come so I don't lose my class. I struggle with fatigue, lack of energy, and very little available time to workout, but if I schedule a class, I don't let the fatigue and lack of energy sway me from showing up because I don't want to lose my class (cancelation policy), nor do I want to not get all 8 of my sessions in before the next billing cycle. My schedule, on the other hand, continues to get in my way.
Speaking of schedule, because I am a single mom of young children, I can't leave my kids in the morning to come and I can't come after work because I have to be home for my kids. That leaves me with needing to come sometime after the kids are at school or before they get home (with exception to Sundays and Mondays, where I have a little more flexibility to do an evening class). The 11:45 class is sometimes a good option during the weekdays, but oftentimes, I have meetings scheduled from 11:30-12:00. It would be awesome to see a 1:00 added to the schedule, in addition to the 11:45, so that there are more options for the full-time working mom to choose from. On Sundays, I do prefer the morning schedule as it is currently set, but at least once a month, I find that my mornings are tied up and it would be awesome to see an afternoon class available.
The main thing I like about the workout is that it forces me to come when I register for one unless an unplanned meeting pops up and then I am out of luck and lose my class because I don't have 8 hours notice to cancel. I would like to see an additional "lunch-ish" time (like 1:00 class) for those days where I have 11:30 meetings, which seems to be happening more frequently lately, the result of which is I am not fully utilizing my membership and losing my classes.
The only other hard part is sometimes, with the work schedule I have and knowing that meetings pop up out of nowhere, I have to wait 1 or 2 hours before the session before I can RSVP or I lose my session for not canceling with 8 hours notice. I've lost quite a few since I've had a membership because of this policy (maybe it should be 4-hour notice instead??). When you can't decide 1 or 2 hours before a popular-timed class, the result is often that you are waitlisted because of the demand to get in during that time. So maybe the happy medium here would be to shorten the cancelation period to 4 hours instead of 8?
Overall, I love what Orange Theory offers. Always a great workout. The staff/coaches are all amazing. I haven't experienced one that I felt otherwise about. And the reality is anything I've mentioned above is due to my demanding schedule and not an actual Orange Theory flaw per se. But the above-mentioned items could be enhancements for those single moms working highly demanding jobs full-time while also being the sole caretaker of her young kiddies.
LOVE so much about it! The treadmill is my favorite, followed by weights and rower last. My favorite workouts are ones when we spend least amount of time on the rower:) Having said that, if coaches could break down some technique for best use and improvement, that would be awesome. I'm never confident that I'm using proper technique.
The music is perfect - wouldn't change a thing. It's the one time of my day that I get all to myself and it helps motivate me to push a bit harder while also keeping my focus on the workout. I don't have time for my mind to wander into all of my responsibilities that I know are waiting for me when class is over! Such a nice mental and physical reprieve.
I also appreciate when instructors have offered gentle correction on the floor. I've injured myself in the past using weights improperly or going too high too quickly, so I would love to know that if I'm doing anything "unsafe", that a coach will let me know. Please keep doing that!
I would love more lift classes if possible!
Great workout that targets all parts of the body
It's fun. Location and coaches/staff are amazing!! Love the class times. Really a great workout too.
I love the variety and perfect blend of cardio and strength training. I always leave each workout feeling accomplished and ready to take on the day.
It’s fun and feels like family! It makes me work hard!
What I like most about the workout is the weights.
I have a suggestion that I hope you will consider. Please make using the music app played in the lobby the standard workout music for all classes. If you want to play an entire class of a different genre of music, have different days on the calendar when you do that. Uptempo music should be played during all the classes.
It’s different every time so you can’t get bored, always challenging, the coaches are great with good music.
