Vent by a long time OTFer

I’ve been a member of OTF since 2018. In the last year or two, I have noticed a few trends that are making me reconsider my membership.

1. The number of coaches that are more concerned with friendships with particular members, to the point they stand talking with them during class and don’t monitor or encourage other people.

2. Reserving of blocks. I intentionally get to class 10-15 minutes early bc there are a few janky treadmills. The SAs are reserving blocks well before I get there, including for coaches and their friends. Today, I got moved after being on a treadmill bc friends wanted to be together (who got there right before start). They talked the entire time and one was constantly on her phone and barely broke a sweat.

3. I know this has been mentioned before but telephones in the gym. I had put up with it in the past but today it was obnoxious and I brought it up to the coach and that’s it’s posted. All she (head coach) was suggest putting it in her locker which of course didn’t happens.

OTF is expensive and maybe I’m stupid but I expect more. It definitely wasn’t like this pre Covid. Anyone else feel this way and/or have any suggestions for other organized workout options?

Rent over. Hope you all have a good weekend.
