The programming at this gym is unlike any other I've been to and I've been to my fair share over the years. It's not your typical Bro'd out CrossFit where you get injured. They have multiple options - if you want to go all out and do Olympic lifts then they've got you covered, but if you're feeling weak or tired or you're just getting back in the gym then they have plenty of scaled down movements that are perfect for you. There's something for everyone in each work out, every day. The community is unparalleled and everyone there is super cool and laid back - I can't say enough good things about this place. Tons of parties and get together a outside of the gym as well.

The facilities are okay, but could use some updating as the equipment is quite old and the variety of heavier weight options is lacking. It's frustrating to want to lift heavier but heavier weights are non existent. My biggest disappointment is with the passport system. Apparently this location only allows 2 passport visitors per class. Even if the class isn't full, this location won't allow more than two passport visitors at a time. They're more than happy to let you in the class by charging you an extra fee of $18 however. Sounds like a money grab to me! So disappointed to see a half full class with passport visitors being sent away just because they weren't allowed to come in without paying an extra fee! I've been to several other F45 locations throughout the US and other countries, and never experienced this with the passport visits. This location can definitely do better!

This gym is so awesome because of the people that work there and continually make you feel like you are valued, strong, seen, and always welcome. I joined OTF back in March after the BXNG Club closed unexpectedly. I was looking for a new gym and figured I'd give OTF a try. I had coach James as my first OTF coach, and from that first class I was hooked. All the coaches here are great, but coaches like James, Cheyenne, and Jayme truly knock it out of the park in terms of infusing their workouts with positive energy and expertise. Workouts can be pretty intense but they know just how to push you when things get hard, while still giving you room to take things at your own pace. They really make you feel seen and motivated in your workouts by calling out people by name to give kudos. They also make the experience feel more personal by walking around and giving suggestions or adjustments as needed to correct your form and improve your workout. I have also taken classes with coaches Brittany, Markus, and Paul, and they are all amazing coaches as well. The coaches are what really make your workout experience, and I love the different energy each one of them brings to their classes. The workouts themselves are also always fun with different themes, challenges, and movements that always keep you interested (and sweating!) Speaking of great people, the people behind the front desk are just as awesome as the ones behind the weights. Ari, Marilyn, and Sam are just a few of the lovely ladies who always greet you at the front desk with the utmost enthusiasm and kindness. Their positive energy is infectious and chatting with them is such as nice way to start and end your workout. They know the names of every single member that comes in the door whether they have been members for a month or 5 years and genuinely care about the members of OTF. These ladies are the unsung heroes who painstakingly decorate the lobby for each new OTF theme, make signs to celebrate members from class 5 to class 1,500, snag pics to showcase their coaches and members, and help you troubleshoot when your heart monitor is being funky. The SB OTF experience would truly not be the same without the amazing staff. Obviously, I cannot say enough good words about this OTF, so you'll just have to join and see for yourself! Thank you to all the people who make this gym so special. You are undoubtedly appreciated by every member you work with(:

We all waited and waited and were all set up but nope. I don't think anything like this has happened anywhere I have been to before. It seems like another client had to call the instructor to find out what was going on because the other instructor that was there had no clue how to contact anyone. They could not reach that instructor so the other instructor told us it was best to go. Another client kinda jokingly said the instructor who was already there should teach us. But nope seems like she had another commitment which was understandable. I thought maybe the owner would follow up with an apology but NOPE! I live in Oceanside so it is a commute to get down there.

I am writing this (perfect timing) after a 45 min run, with zero knee pain, and all the running…read morehighs! I found Alex in January of 2015. I had just come from a weekend away in Palm Springs, where I had planned to relax, run, and engage in as much fitness as possible. I headed out for a run on New Years Day; new shoes, new lululemon pants, new Garmin watch, and after about 20 min. my outer knee was in so much pain I had to basically walk the rest of the way home. I was devastated and confused. Not only had I run for about an hour for 2 days in a row prior, I have been an avid runner since High School. Even with icing my knee for about 3 days straight, nothing was helping and I knew I had done something more serious. My history of running - I have run a total of around 4 or 5 half marathons easily, no knee pain since 2012. Completed many 10K's and casual runs on my own at least twice a week for years. It was something that happened so out of the blue, I am just thankful that Alex entered my life when he did. He started out with the basics, which at the time seemed a little out of context. "What other workouts do you do? What has changed in your exercise in the last year". I couldn't really come up with much, other than lots of YOGA. Becoming a certified Yoga teacher and basically doing yoga everyday for the past year only seemed like it was helping my running. Of course. Alex saw this as a red flag right away. With the types of exercises that I was engaging in on a weekly basis, I was only extending ligaments and asking parts of my body (my knee) to over compensate. This then effected my IT band, more weight in my calfs, soreness, you name it. It's a vicious cycle. After about 5 sessions with Alex - he not only identified the root cause of my pain, but trained me to run in a different pattern so I could alleviate the pain, without having to give up what I love. We took everything in phases, added in weights, combined static movements with real time workouts and in no time, I was back. To this day pain or not, I have shifted the way I run bc he has taught to me always look ahead. Alex sees prevention of injury like no one else I have ever met. I am not a very optimistic person when it comes to my body, bc I am very in tune with how it wants operate, or not operate for that matter. I was completely in awe when I made it through my first 30 min. From January 25th, when I tried to run a 5K and made it 5 min, to about mid February, I was running about 25-30 min. and now, I can run over an hour with no knee pain. Alex sees things and connections that no one else I have ever see does. I went to 2 different knee specialists who were runners themselves and left with very little optimism, and zero improvement. Alex has a holistic approach to the body that cannot necessarily be taught. It's in his intuitive nature and he sees the way in which body connects. This knowledge that he has is why he can not only guide people to overcome their injuries, but can advise on how to avoid degenerative tendencies that come with age, overuse, and in my opinion... a passion for your sport. I couldn't be more thankful for his knowledge, expertise and precision when it comes to the human body and protecting it for the rest of the active I life I have. Thanks Alex! :)
