Today - my first class....I survived! When I decided to try out OTF I was a little anxious about not knowing anyone, will I know what to do, will I be able to keep up, will people be judging me...you know, all the normal first-day anxieties. Let me tell you....it was awesome! From the minute I walked in the door Hope and Brooke made me feel like they have known me for years - first anxiety smashed. Brooke was our coach today...she talked us through all the exercises and ensured we were feeling good the entire time - second anxiety smashed. Was I able to keep up - there is no "keeping up". You work at your own speed and listen to your body. So for day 1 - anxiety #3, smashed. Will people judge me...ummm..NO. No one has time to judge you. The members are there for one reason and one reason only - to work out and smash their goals. They don't have time to watch me and judge me - anxiety #4 - smashed. All the team members I met today were engaged, energetic and welcoming. Already looking forward to my next class. I'm only in Surprise a few months and I have a feeling when I leave in the fall....I'll miss this place. Thank you OTF Surprise!!
