| - I was a member for 2 months, and loved the workout. I could actually see and feel an improvement in my fitness level in the 2 months I was there. They offer quite a few morning and afternoon class choices, making it easier to fit exercise in to a busy schedule.
It really is a great workout and anyone who can get in to the gym often will see excellent results, I'm sure! It's good for all levels. Instructors will show modifications for exercises as needed so even the beginner can do them.
Con- you can't sign up for one month and go month to month. You have to sign up for 2 months at a time. You have to cancel before the end of your first month ending, or you commit to yet another month. For example, if you sign up in January, then you commit to January and February. If you want to quit, you have to quit before January ends. If you wait until February to quit, then you will still have to pay for March. If you quit in March, you still have to pay for April. If you quit in April, you're still in it for May. You get the idea... you're always in it for 2 months.
If you cancel your membership and then change your mind, deciding you want to go longer, you commit to 2 more months. I signed up for my 2 months, and then half way through month one, cancelled my membership before I'd have to commit to another month. About half way through the second month, I decided I liked OTF and wanted to continue, but didn't want to commit to 2 more months. Month to month. That's what I wanted. If I could have done month to month, I'd still be there. I figured I could find a boot camp closer to my house for less money.
Another con was when I was injured and was relegated to the low impact elliptical machine back in the corner by the window, instead of the treadmill. The majority of the class is on the treadmill, so I was back in the corner and didn't get much attention. If there were a lot of people in class, I can understand that, but I received very little instruction and sometimes zero encouragement. Except for a couple of the trainers who were really great. Plus, there's this yogurt shop next door, and if I was at a night class when it's really easy to see through the windows, I felt like a hippo on display as I huffed and puffed away by myself, in the corner, on the elliptical. People licking their ice cream trying not to stare, but lets face it. It's like a train wreck. You just cant' help but look.
My desire to continue was after I was allowed to get back on the treadmill. Then I felt like I was a part of the class. I got more attention, but more important, I didn't feel so exposed all by myself in a corner by the window. I ended up enjoying the class and was really enjoying the transformation of my body.... but that whole 2 month thing. I decided to see what else I could find in the way of a good workout elsewhere that was closer to home and cost less.
I think OTF is a little bit spendy at $60 a month for access to 1 class a week and almost $100 for access to more classes per week. It would be nice if for $60, someone could access at least 2 classes per week, if not more.I was willing to pay it, however, since i could really see a difference in my body shape. I just wasn't willing to commit to two months at a time.
