![]() ![]() I figure whatever I'm spending on fitness counts as my "vice" and that's worth it to me. I budget for groceries but even then I wind up wasting/throwing out uneaten food (meaning I still have some wiggle room to spend). I know everyone's situation is different but for me, I don't drink or smoke, so no expenses there I work from home so very low transportation costs I don't buy meals or coffee out except on weekends, and I hate shopping. Like I said, I’m glad I was there for a year, and I learned a lot about myself.īut I thoroughly enjoy just going to the gym and working out for as long or little as I want while focusing on what I want as opposed to all the cardio and glutes. I use my OT hr monitor to track my gym work outs as well. I thought the anxiety of a non class setting would be why I needed to stay at OT, but honestly, no one bothers anyone and I’m in a zone with my headphones on. ![]() I use to be so angry at ppl when they scoffed at me for paying so much, but I didn’t think I had the motivation unless I was in a class setting with coaches who already have everything planned out for me.īut, I think canceling OT made me anxious about losing my fitness vice and now that I’m not so injured from all of OT’s stuff, I’m at the gym everyday for hours and loving it. I loved all the coaches! The experience was amazing, but I can’t justify $189 a month and most of what we do in OT is cardio and SO MUCH GLUTES. There I can work on what ever I want compared to being subjected to whatever OTs class curriculum is for the day. I’ve been at the new gym for 2 weeks and have already put in 18 hrs. I usually did 3-5 OT classes a week but it started injuring my shin splints, left rotator cuff, right, hip flexor and knee. It ws $179 now $189 and I’m happy to have learned all I have this past year regarding form and how it’s helped me upped my cardio/endurance.īut it’s my last month OT and I’ve gotten a gym membership for $45 a month where I can go anytime, use any machines, has a sauna and pool access plus hot tub and juice bar, and I can bring a guest to any location everytime I go.Īlso, this new gym offers yoga, hiit, cycling, Pilates, and other classes that come with my membership. The motivation factor at OTF is definitely high quality!īeen going for a year, price increase just happened. BUT! If I was, that would be a pretty important factor that might keep me at OTF with the high prices. Not super concerned about having the discipline to go work out on my own regularly. But right now, the cost is too high.ĮTA: during covid shutdowns, I exercised religiously 5-6 days a week an hour at a time at home doing body weight fitness for free on YouTube with very little equipment. And, to be completely realistic, I’ll probably be back. I learned that I don’t hate running - I actually really love it. But it has become very difficult to justify the cost, given my other options. I get that we pay for programming and coaching, and I have had nothing but positive experiences with that. A full year of membership costs less than two months at OTF. There’s a really nice rec center down the street from me with a beautiful gym, pool, sauna. Now I just buy class packs and do a class occasionally when I like the looks of the intel. So I just figured that OTF wasn't right for me anymore. The per class price point both of those options was too high when I was also paying for another gym. Neither unlimited nor 8x/month made sense for me, because I wanted to go to OTF about three times a week. If they had reduced membership fees by 25% maybe I would have stuck it out, but I was paying the full OTF rate AND supplementing with a second gym, and it just seemed stupid.Īlso, I was wanting to do other kinds of training, especially heavier lifting. They said this was to allow extra time for deep cleaning, and perhaps that was true, but I was leaving an OTF class and going to a big-box gym because I felt like I hadn't gotten enough of a workout. I honestly don't remember what it cost when I quit, but the straw that broke the camel's back for me was that my studio was running all 45-minute classes. For me it isn't about the dollars as much as it is about the value and experience that I get.
