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.

like

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.

For the first time in my life, I know what I’m supposed to do at my job, with relationships around me and it’s all because the enormous sense of anxiety I used to experience evaporated during quarantine. I didn’t know that I lived with so much anxiety that it crippled me. I didn’t know I needed this time to myself.

Does anyone have experience breaking up w a therapist? I've been seeing my therapist for 5+ years for eating disorder treatment and we've been through so much together, but I don't think she's able to help me anymore. While I've stopped my ED behaviors, they've evolved into OCD, and I'm finding that her methods might be making it worse. I think I want to try an OCD expert instead. But I don't know how to end the relationship. Do I just stop going? Do I explain myself? I don't know what to do 🥺

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)
