Dear Sara, You kicked MY butt.

I walked in and was greeted by the team. It was my first time and yes I was nervous. I prepared myself by watching video on youtube and people's experience and they were .. right. . "you're going to die, but survive". Anyway. I loved their store front set up. It was very clean and welcoming. When you first get there, you fill out an info sheet to help make sure that you are now in their records. They then take that information and give you a heart monitor to help count your progress during the workout. Then that information during the workout, gets sent to your email for safe keeping. They build a profile so when you come back, you can continue to build on it, which sooo cool to me.

Before we started our session, we were shown around the building and the different equipment. I really liked how you pair your number with everything you do from the rower, to the weights, to the treadmill. They also want to make sure they keep the areas clean so I thought it was also cool that Sara promoted "whipping your machine down" during the session.

So back on Sara kicking my booty, yeah that happened. She basically pushed us. I lift all the time and do metabolic training so doing the weight stuff was easy. HOWEVER, the whole running on the treadmill and "pushing" and the inclines, laaaawd I got worked. She really pushed us and motivated us. I thought it was cool that we could see our progress on the tv school. That was also a...

I have attended and have also taught at these fitness type boutiques that focus on heart rate(HR) training, boot camp training, high intensity interval training (HIIT), etc. I love two things about OT. Instructor led training and HR training. In the month that I have been going I have been tracking my fitness progress and have seen cardiovascular performance improvement. As you continue to workout you start to have to challenge your body more as your average heart rate will start to come down (that’s a good thing). They have great trainers but you have to want to push yourself as well to get the most out of the experience. Just remember exercise is only part of the journey. Nutrition is the 80% solution but good nutrition combined with the OT experience your will crush your health goals! NO I am not some paid reviewer! You can come workout with me and the rest of the OT fam and see for yourself. I usually workout at 6am. Look for the guy that that almost always has something patriotic on. At least 1 American flag 🇺🇸 They have a great front desk staff as well. In my experience if the staff(coaches or desk) aren't welcoming it is a deal breaker for me. The value is here! that is why I don't go to a traditional gym anymore! Come on out and get your free first class and challenge yourself. I posted my first class results and my most recent results. See you...

I recently upgraded my membership because I was very satisfied with my workouts and coaches are fantastic. However, the front desk associate when asked how to get raffle tickets for a promotion I was talked down to as I asked about if I get raffle tickets for my upgrade she rolled her eyes and went umm hum. Next day I asked for raffle ticket due to meeting objective for attending classes with all coaches I was questioned rudely how I know and when I stated I track it on my phone and started to name all coaches she interrupted me with attitude and then lady asked about raffle tickets without any issue she gave her a ticket and again came at me I am going to have to check if you have done classes with all coaches and then stated you havent gone to workout with hilltop coaches. The contest was explained and stated if i attend class with 4 of their coaches at Redmill and I do not have to attend classes at all Orange Theory businesses. Again classes are great and the coaches but customer service specifically towards myself a man was less than agreeable especially when I witness different tone towards the other women who asked about how to get...
