Thoughts on orange theory? Thinking if unlimited pass.... thoughts !!

I tried a free OT class and it was a lot of fun, but not enough to justify how much they ask for memberships/class packages.

What city are you in and staffed in? There are so many good HIIT type classes in most major cities that I always cringe a bit when someone locks into one and then is stuck in a membership they must pay for even if they don’t go. Paying a la carte and mixing it up at different spots honestly is probably even cheaper in the long run even if the day pass is more expensive each time unless you actually go the 8 or so times per month. If you only actually workout at studio 4-5 times per month with work and life, the costs are comparable to just go wherever suits you in the moment. That being said, the only caveat I’d say on the orange theory membership, they require you to give a 30 day written notice to cancel so if you move on down the road, plan in advance because you will pay for 30 more days

I live in Atlanta

Thanks for the info. Decided to sign up for the unlimited pass!

i like OT, but i lift in addition to OT, so personally am at the 8 classes/month membership right now

I thought OT was just another HIIT class but when I tried it, it was better than I expected! Everything is completely structured - they tell you exactly how many reps to do at a station and exactly for how long - they have monitors to even show you exactly how to perform the movement at all times. You never have to think, you just do it. I also love that they have a scientific framework around your heart rate zones. Your heart rate is shown on monitors along with other people in class so you can see on the screen how hard you're working out and when to decrease/increase your effort to maximize your gains 💪

^honestly this concept is quickly being commoditized and is available at niche and major HIIT type players across the US. Might be your first exposure lately to it, but everyone going this way with their own twist / ecosystem. Pelaton just added their tread/yoga studio to the group in NYC and now drives a similar class construct into the digital realm where you can get the same workout the studio is pushing, anytime and anywhere.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?

Looking to use Capco's wellness reimbursement for a gym membership. The company site includes Crunch fitness and states it will subsidize up to $50/month, which brings the $110/monthly fee down to $60. The general manager at a Crunch gym said Capco's subsidized plan cost is $25/month total, which is a significant discount compared to what the internal site states. Which one is right? What are you guys getting? Capco
