Always my go to place to work out when I'm visiting Middletown. One of the many reasons I love OTF…read moreis that I can use any other studio when traveling and maintain my workout regime. This time I went to the 9am Monday morning class to start off my work week. The music was HOT (classic 90's hip hop). Coach Tyler did a great job motivating the class through a multitude of back to back all outs on the treadmill and making sure we left it all on the floor and in the gym. Great morning! Look forward to more classes this week.

The most fun & booty-kicking workouts I've experienced! Everyday is something different, and the…read moreworkouts vary from endurance, strength, and power. If you're lucky - you may even catch all three (the more; the merrier!!!). The class is split in half. Half starts on treadmills and other half starts on floor. The treadmills are pretty self explanatory....But don't you worry, friends! Inclines and speed increases are your best pals. The floor incorporates anything from body weight, dumbbell weights, TRX, minibands, step block, and the worst of them all - the row machine. Halfway through the class, you switch. During this hour long class, your heart monitor (yes, you have to buy one if you become a member) tracks your heart rate, calories burned, & splat points earned. (I'll let the trained professionals explain that one to you). If I've sparked your interest or confused you even more, come on in & try a class for free! OTF is awesome in the aspect that you can take your first class free without any commitment to join afterwards. (But trust me - you're going to want to join.) OTF does have an app, & makes booking your classes easy to do. The atmosphere is what makes OTF the best. The room is tinted out in a dark/orange ambiance. The fans are blasting (but your sweat will just laugh at them). The music is upbeat, all different genres, & constantly changing as if there's a DJ inside with you. And to top it off - we got epic coaches. Coach Dalton & Coach Suzanne are my go-to's down here. It's always a treat when Coach Ovi drops in too! They explain every movement, give you modifications if needed, and manage to keep you (me) motivated even when you complain the whole time (like me).

So i decided to join her one day as her plus one. First off, know that you have to drive all the way to the back of the plaza to find it. But there's plenty of parking. The studio is run by two nice trainers: Sally and Jordan. They are very open and all about helping you. They tell you their story and listen to yours. It's all about setting goals and appreciating the little accomplishments. First thing when you walk in is that it's one big room. Not little alcoves here and there. Just a huge mat for you to get sweaty on. I did notice there's not one mirror- which is quite interesting. There is complementary child care and very nice locker rooms. They are like to do one on one meetings to check in with you every other week. Their hours are a bit wonky so check the class schedule each week before coming in. But what I like most about this place is that if you can't do a conventional push up, they find another way to get your body to work the same muscles. My advice? Come try it out!

It took me a while to finally get around to writing this review. I waited for ever simply because…read moreI kept going back and forth on the rating. So here we go - my pros and cons Pros - Friendly and welcoming owner Mel greeted me and chatted while we waited for the class to begin. He is a very nice man and even made me laugh a few times. Plus for not having that 'gym machismo' factor. Pro - This workout is intense - I'm pretty fit, but I got my butt handed to me so much so that the next day I went out and purchased a fitbit heart rate monitor so I can see how close to cardiac arrest I am should I ever go back. Pro - This is a total body workout - strength, cardio, balance, they hit all the zones. Pro - First three classes are free - that is very generous, most places offer your first class and then you're on your own. Cons - There was no stretch what so ever. The class ended and everyone just left. I was kinda left there looking around like "is this it?" Mel said I was more than welcome to stay and stretch if I like, but they dont do it. I felt kinda odd since other's were coming in and so I just left. Cons - I am a person who need a class card. I travel a lot and so I purchase class cards so that I can use them when I'm in the area. This is the type of place that you need to buy a membership. I don't live in the area, but would love to work out here if I'm working in this part of Jersey. Cons - I hate putting this down as a con, but here goes. When this class was taking place we were just told to which exercises to do, there was no demonstration. I know what almost all of the names of things are but even so, there were two or three things that I wasn't sure what they were and I had to look at my fellow exercisers to see what they were doing. It would have been good to see something demonstrated or to have received some correction and adjustment to prevent injury. I would be back if they sold class cards and used something like #MindBodyOnline so I could see their schedule and book classes - but that is only if they sold class cards. If you are very very new to working out, you may find this to be an intensely challenging class.

Quite possibly the best butt-kicking money can buy. No two workout sessions are alike, and expect…read moreto get a full-body workout each time. Mel definitely knows what he is doing and genuinely care about each and every person in the class.

I was in the area for work, and was looking for a place to go work out. The Universe obviously was already a few steps ahead of me, as this bootcamp was right across the street from the hotel that I was staying at. Perfect! The days that I went were not lacking in making sure that they not only get everything out of you during the workout, but that you especially get everything out of the workout. Drenched in sweat, laying on the floor, catching my breath after the workouts...Loved it. I ended up leaving Maryland a few weeks earlier than expected, but absolutely thankful that I came across this place, got a great workout and met some cool, and wonderful people.

Having…read morea stationary bike out of order for a month is one thing but now the situation is far worse. The heater motor burned out on Tuesday and NO repairs have been made and there is no information available regarding status. It is COLD in the gym. And with next week's forecast showing highs in the 20s, this is not sustainable. An indoor business like this should have HVAC issues resolved same day or, worse case, next day. We're on Day 4 and no workers anywhere. I plan to ask for a refund for any days where it is too cold to use the gym.

Jacob, the owner and trainer, is knowledge, positive and encouraging! His positive attitude…read moreencourages everyone in the group. Often I hear from the stronger, fit members "you can do it" or "good job" or other words of encouragement. The fellow bootcampers are friendly and welcoming. Jacob organizes "challenges" sometimes you are working with a partner to encourage each other and other times. They last for about one month. Lots of fun and heathy prizes. The morning class is at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. We work out there all year round, sometimes on their deck overlooking the bay or on the beach or on rainy days under their building. I am not in shape but attending GroupFit I am getting there! If I miss a couple of classes Jacob checks in with me to ask "where you are and when are coming back?" There are all levels at the bootcamp and there is no embarrassment or shame if you are using 5 pound weights and the person next to you is using 25 pound weights. One negative- we have to do burpees during the workout but I am learning to do them well and I am getting into shape!

With this bootcamp every workout is different and the variety keeps me coming back. Jake is an excellent instructor and knows how to both push you but also provide positive feedback. The classes consist of all ages and body types and the exercises are designed in such a way that everyone can do them but you can really push yourself as well. Everyone that I have met in the class has been very supportive and welcoming. I highly recommend this class if you looking for a fun way to get stronger and slimmer.

I even convinced one of my friends to do the $30 for 30 days promo they had running. I love that they offer a few evening classes so if I'm running late, I can still make it to class. Or, if I'm done work early I can catch an earlier class. I can't seem to just get myself to the gym unless there's a class so I think this will be the best option for me right now. I took my first class tonight and boy was I dying! BUT ILL BE BACK! It was challenging but I really enjoyed it. I like that they have focus meetings and will keep on me on track for my goals. The staff was really nice and the gym was clean. Cons - only one bathroom and no lockers room to change in. No showers either but I get why. It's a quick 45 min workout. In and out. If anyone has done Orange Theory, this is basically the same concept but cheaper and I enjoyed this class more. I didn't feel pressured to look at my progress

Now, some may think, "what's the problem?" Well, small people have there own body goals. I was in my own right overweight. Darryl and Zoe helped to reformat my eating habits as well as my fitness habits. As a mom of two, I was inconsistent in what I ate, how I ate, and yes, when I ate. Also, the inconsistency of working out. Once I began the 6 week challenge, I refused to eat what I fixed for my little ones, and even stopped eating their "left behinds". I focused on me, made the weekly meals, started my day at dusk with FBBCBowie. I was on a mission. And when I saw the results of body fat loss, the slimming of my hips, thighs and abs, and the increase of lean muscle and strength, I was amazed. For all of that, thank you Darryl and Zoe for reshaping me mind, and body. You two Rock! #ilovemesomeFBBCBowieandDarrylandZoe #FBBCWarrior‍
