I really enjoy the structure of the OT workouts — breaking up an hour-long workout into three distinct parts makes it much more enjoyable and the time flies by. I like the fact that the regimens for rowing/tread/floor are variable and change each time I go, it keeps me engaged. The group class aspect (and moving through the three parts of the workout in smaller groups), along with the visible HR zones on the screens, maintain my motivation but also allow me to ease back if I need to.

I wanted a supportive studio environment where I could break a sweat and get a little exercise. Since starting, I have achieved this goal and accomplished so much more. These days, I consider working out part of my daily routine. It's a powerful habit I have built over time with support and encouragement from the OTF - Capitol Hill team and members. I find myself setting personal goals each week (run, don't walk on the tread; accomplish personal bests, complete Hell Week etc.) and the coaches always seem to know when I am in need of a little added...
