I have a few friends who go, and love it. They have had great results. I was just wondering if anyone else has any reviews. Good or bad

Results usually aren't as noticeable with the workouts compared to how one EATS in calorie deficit if weight loss/fat loss is the goal.
The workout itself will greatly improve strength and fitness though. But one doesn't have to greatly improve either to lose body fat.

I did. It was imtimidating at first, seeing I was the only fat person there and was the only one who wouldn't do a push-up, burpee or plank to save my life. However It was fun and I wish I had the money to go back. After 3 hours my stomach and my legs were hurting. Today it's still the same thing but it is those inclines at 4.0 they had me do on the treadmil. Im def going to add that to my daily work out routine.

those things are popping up like crazy here in Canada. Hadn't heard of them prior to a few months ago and I have seen 3 or 4 in the last few weeks.

I've been going for almost three months now. It's an incredible workout for me. I go between three and four times per week. It is my only workout. I've noticed not only inches and a considerable weight loss but also improved strength, flexibility, and stamina. After three months, I have moved from a walker into a jogger In order to get my HR and splat points to where they need to be. As a big guy, i consistently burn 950-1000 calories per session and I feel it the next day like you should. What I find most beneficial to my habits is the constant pressure to do better and keep up. I used to be a 60 minute LA Fitness guy. I never really pushed myself. I thought that walking 3.5mph with a slight incline was good enough. It was something, but this is entirely different. Between trying to beat myself, trying to beat the person next me, and trying to beat my personal bests, OTF sparks the competitive nature in me and gets the best of me every time. And yea, it is expensive. They actually charge you if you don't show up or don't cancel a scheduled class on time. Monetarily, I know I can't afford to miss or waste a class. It's also cheaper than 12-16 sessions with a personal trainer into area, so that's helps me rationalize I guess. They offer learning opportunities, contests, diet seminars, motivational speakers, etc all at no or minimal cost to members. If you have a new facility opening up on your area, there are discounted founders rates as well. They really try to build a family or group atmosphere and strive to elevate you into challenging yourself and motivating each other.

That was really long, and it's only been 3 months, but OTF has really changed my life. I'm better. I'm stronger. I'm getting to my goals in a way I never have before. I can't recommend it enough.
