It has been one year since I took my first free OTF class! Thank you to everyone who commented on my first post here telling me I could do it!! Turns out I can!!!
In that time, I’ve switched from barely being able to hold 3.5 when power walking to a 4.7 base while jogging. Went from elite to unlimited and try to regularly to 3 - 4 times a week.
I’ve started using the heavy rack for some exercises, really strengthened my balance, and even got my husband to join.
If you’re scared of joining or even trying the first class, do it! I’ve never felt more supported and welcomed in a work-out environment. I’ve made friends at both studios I’ve attended and never felt like I was competing against anyone but myself.
I’ve lost weight and gained some back since joining, but what really matters is how it changed my view on working out and I’ve also gained muscle. I’m linking the post I made on my first day here, but really I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented back then and made me feel so good about the experience!!
High five and congratulations! I recently completed one year at OTF too.
I started at 3.2 base on the tread a year ago. Yesterday my coach “pushed” me to a 4. Still recovering from that one😂
I could lift only 10lbs, now I do 15lb and can manage a 20lb as a heavy weight.
My anniversary was 1/5. Best thing I ever did!
I love stories like this 🧡 congratulations on one year and thanks for sharing this
