I feel like I never engage my glutes enough, can you help me with that? Or I just want some time to really work on my rowing form and goof around with stroke speed and power). practice a 2000m row in advance of PPW or just crush some ab dolly work for a while or come in and do a full upper body session) OR chat with the coach about specifics (e.g. ever thought of holding occasional open gym time? Sort of like a coach's office hours? I'd fine a TON of value if once a month, I could come in for an hour and either 1) just focus on something I want to improve on (e.g. I hope that I've inspired at least one of you in some way. I'll check back periodically, so if you have some burning questions that still need answered or have any follow up questions to any of my responses, please feel free to post them or send me a message! I had a great time chatting with all of you. Keep asking, and I promise I'll get to all your questions at some point!!ĮDIT #2 at 10 pm PST/1 am EST: I think I've answered most questions. So.IamA Studio Manager and Coach at Orangetheory Fitness.AMA!ĮDIT at 6 pm PST/9 pm EST: I have to take a short break for dinner. I've learned a lot being in the OTF world (as a member, sales associate, manager, and coach) and feel that I might have a lot of information that will be helpful to some of you! I won’t be going against any of our business policies here in this AMA, so if there’s a question I feel I can’t answer, I’ll let you know.įrom a personal standpoint, I'm doing this AMA because I am a product of our product (you should see my transformation pictures!) and believe with my whole heart that OTF is the BEST workout out there and appropriate for EVERYONE, regardless of age, shape, size, restrictions, or fitness goals. My hope with this AMA is to help address some of the most common questions that I see here and at my studio (What's the science behind the OTF workout? Why am I not getting splat points? How do I become a runner? What if I can't do XYorZ? Why won't OTF announce the type of workout in advance? Why am I not losing weight? and whatever else you can come up with). After contacting Dept of Human Services and MD's Unemployment Law, both determined that I did not partake in any misconduct that should have led to my termination.Hi! I'm a studio manager and coach at an Orangetheory Fitness studio, and I'm here to answer (nearly) all of your questions about all things OTF! A little more about me: I've been with the company for 2 years and have done pretty much every job possible in an OTF studio, including sales associate, studio manager, and coach. I was ultimately terminated without warning or any prior disciplinary action for really nonsensical reasons. The ceiling would (often) collapse in the middle of a group fitness class, we could complain daily, the Head Coach could be in tears about it and there would still be no permanent action taken to prevent the issues from happening again. The owners are an awesome couple, unfortunately they neglect their facility until the ceiling falls apart (literally) and do not have much motivation to do any preventative maintenance that isn't MacGyver'd until it is way past too late. The new manager seemed very promising, but he still has a lot to learn about actual quality leadership and fair management, which will come with more experience. Employees warned me about the hire turnover rate, telling me most people do not last 3 months. I was hired by one manager, who resigned a couple months later. Cold calling, check ins, sales, and clean up were your basic duties very simple and stress free work.
