Orange Theory Discussion? Rollcall!

Hi all!

I'm back on MFP, and was trying to see if there are any OTF peeps out here? I figured that maybe we can start a board to discuss upcoming things like the transformation challenge, PR's, Benchmarks, OTF meme's, SPLATS, that sort of thing!

I love the workouts there, and the coaches we have here in Wilmington NC are outstanding. Let me know if you're out here!

Figured I'd share some below

Home Gym: OTF in Mayfaire - Wilmington, NC

Newest Benchmark: Ran a 8:08 mile! first time doing it at OTF! - Was aiming for under 8min, but I shouldn't of warmed up before official time with jogging, and the rowing and lifting earlier in the class took some energy out of me. But now I have something to beat!

Newest OTF Challenge - Transformation Challenge! Starts in February! Who else is doing it?! maybe we can share our body scans before and after on here?

Feel free to friend me, and share some thoughts!

I used to love OTF! The ones in my area (NYC) have been shut down since March with no opening in sight. I used to go to OTF in another state & it was amazing. I moved back home to NYC and only did OTF for a short period here before switching to Equinox classes. Funny thing is that the reason I switched (well before Covid) was because it was very crowded and they’d have back to back classes. I was really grossed out that it was so hot and I could feel everyone’s breath in the air. I’m assuming your location is not like that & im jealous! Enjoy & congrats on your progress.

Thank you! Yeah here in NC they all shut down for covid, but started back up in October. Now every other rower, tread, and weight station is now empty for social distancing, (so way less crowded classes now!!), plus we have to work out with masks, temp checks walking in, and they had to put a half hour between each class to disinfect/clean everything.

I've made great progress since it opened again - finally got under my weight of when OTF shut down for covid!

Hope you have better luck at your gyms! I have co-workers in NYC, and they are going stir crazy! Stay healthy!
