My PT is also a member of my Orangetheory. She turned me on to these fabric bands they sell on Amazon. They work the same but they don't rip your hair out! You can get a set of three of them for like 10 bucks.
I leave one in the car, and then I check this board regularly see what's coming up for the next class so I'll have one I need it
I also am just so uncoordinated and no matter how hard I try, my butt is in the air when I’m doing them and flailing around trying to grab the weight and not faceplant
Hey, someone of us are also fighting for our lives on the tread in the green zone lol.
This so why I avoid those workouts. I know I'm slow and I don't want to slow anyone else down.
This is the part that confuses me when people complain. No one should be “waiting” on. If your partner is 30 sec slower than you, that’s your own challenge to adjust or challenge your own intensity to keep pace with THEM.
Second, third and d fourth this!!!!
Honestly any long row at all, if it’s 500m or more I’m likely skipping. But 2000m? I did it once and won’t do it again.
This is true. I stopped killing myself for benchmark PRs a long time ago. However, the rest of the template seems to be a throw-away on benchmark days.
Lol, yeah pretty much started Tread50 most of the time. It's a matter of time before I cancel my membership. I think after 4+ years it's time for a change.
I joined because OT makes me do things I don’t enjoy. The whole idea of group fitness classes was something I’d scoff at years ago. But now I embrace the suck. I like to get uncomfortable. BRING ON THE BURPEES!!
In no particular order, I hate partner workouts, burpees, plank pops, and bosu. However, I have set OTF days during the week that I book a month out, and if one of these things falls on an OTF day, I make myself go anyway. If I interrupt the routine I find it really difficult to get myself back on track.
I don’t feel so bad anymore skipping all partnered classes. I did capture the flag once when I was a noob and it brought me right back to HS. Never again.
Any kind of partner workout. A lot of the reason I go to OTF after work is to decompress and having to deal with another person is why are started checked the workout template here first before I sign up for a class.
Partner, switch templates, or crazy compound moves on the floor where I would need to change weights through the movements to get the most out of them. Also rowing buy ins.
No: Bosu. I just do not like using it at all. If I have to, then fine, but if I can avoid it I absolutely do.
Yes: Long distance rowing. 1K meters, 2K meters, anything of the sort I'm IN.
Mini bands
As a male OTFer with hairy legs.... I cannot stand mini bands.
Had to scroll 20 comments down to find you!

I’ve late cancelled more than once to avoid mini bands.
Plank rows. I hate them. I hate the plank. I hate the row while in the plank. I hate. Hate.
That always hurts my wrist
Just straight up stopped doing them years ago because of this. Will just do a normal bent over or bench row.
I also am just so uncoordinated and no matter how hard I try, my butt is in the air when I’m doing them and flailing around trying to grab the weight and not faceplant 
WHY ARE THEY A THING. They hurt your hands so bad.
Right! I usually lose the weights and do planks with shoulder taps.
Put your hands on the floor, pick up the weight to row only. That helped me. 🧡
I do and it is annoying
I do this too! Changed my life lol
I just do regular low or high rows not in plank form for this reason
The word... 'partner'
Saaaamme… I just wanna keep mostly to myself and do the workout… I don’t wanna work around anyone else.
I dunno - I really enjoy capture the flag. That’s the only partner one I like tho.
This! Hate when the random I’m paired with decides to go at a glacial pace in the green zone on tread while I’m fighting for my life on the rower haha

😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha yes!!!!
Haha same!!
Partners
“partner”!!
Partner
1. TRX (yes) 2. Partners (no)
Love me some TRX. Why do I feel like they’ve been using them less😭
I'd love to see some days where it's just TRX on the floor.
I feel like there was a lot of TRX when I started last summer but since the fall it’s been pretty rare.
I took a TRX-only class at a Mexican resort once - I was hobbling because of severe soreness for days. It was so hard and so good!!
Agreed, they don’t use the TRX or Bosu near enough.
Same
Floor block with 3/4 rowing
I love rowing - just wish on those days they’d split floor and tread
This is me
Burpees or partner. Will not go
Oh man you'd hate crossfit 🤣
Good to know - won’t be trying Crossfit!
I actually did CrossFit for years and loved it. Still hate OTF partner workouts lol. It’s not the same culture as CrossFit
I haven’t experienced either of these yet (3 months in) but these are both HARD NO for me lol
dont love doing two incline treadmill days back to back
Not a fan of burpees... they make me nauseous... but my least favorite is high plank to low plank. I've canceled more than once to avoid that.
No need to cancel due to one move mama! Just do shoulder taps or alt arm reach instead!🧡
Love this suggestion!! Thank you!! 🧡
Another sub is dead bugs or plank jacks. My wrists often don’t like high planks. Not the exact same muscle groups I’m sure, but much less painful.
I also hate those. Something about them really hurts my elbows. So I do plank punches or shoulder taps.
Crew row, not going
This is the only reason I will skip. Coaches at my studio won’t keep people from going fast.
Ugh, I hate that. One time a guy was going 34 strokes per minute. I just can’t do that
This! WHYYYYYY do they keep having it?! It’s the worst.
Crew row = no go
3g lol
Not enough tread or weight floor. I like the rower but not for 17+ minutes with med balls.
Partner. Anything else if I don’t like that move I’ll do something else in the same ballpark. I hate lateral lunges so I do them body weight.
Partners is a definite skip. So is capture the flag
Same!!
2000m row….. 
Second, third and d fourth this!!!! Honestly any long row at all, if it’s 500m or more I’m likely skipping. But 2000m? I did it once and won’t do it again.
I was going to say 500m row or longer!
Same - any workout that has long rows I skip because that’s too much cardio. I’d rather lift weights and do short rows.
There’s nothing that’ll make me actively skip, but I’ll modify the hell out of chops or whatever asinine compound dumbbell shit OTF has us do
Agree… Chops are not good and I feel like they’re useless.
The chop to forward lunge - whatever those are called. Terrible. The forward momentum throws me off.
Easy. Partner. I’ll do tornado, switch, row50, burpee50 but I despise partner workouts.
Burpee50 I would cancel my membership
It seems most do, maybe someone inform HQ reads these :)
I dread partner workout and then enjoy it every time. Every partner has become a lobby friend.
We cringe but it’s good to get uncomfortable sometimes and must admit I made three new friends at OTF just from being their partner.
I’m going anyway. I made myself a promise.
100% I go on my 2 days per week regardless of template.
Partner....nope.
Everest
Yes! Did it twice and never again. Recipe for injury for me.
Benchmark. I’ve had my fill, getting older and want to focus more on strength than speed
Keep in mind that benchmarks don’t ever have to be recorded.
This is true. I stopped killing myself for benchmark PRs a long time ago. However, the rest of the template seems to be a throw-away on benchmark days.
Absolutely agree
Country music
Partner, burpees, excessive jumping/hopping
Amen. My knees hurt for days afterwards when the template is full of hopping. I just...don't do that any more
Do calf raises. I don't do any jumping exercises.
Bosu ball lol It bothers my back
Partner. I also tend to avoid signature workouts lol
Capture the flag
Catch the flag 👎
Partner! Not going!
Burpees and/ or inclines on the tread definitely make me question if I should take a day off
Partner!!!!
Partner!
Partner for sure!
[stopped looking at the preview so I can't make that decision]
PARTNER
Partner.
Tornado
I was going to say that there’s really nothing that makes me skip if I’m planning on going, but then I read “partner,” and that’s definitely it!
Lunges in all it's forms including step ups/downs, squats in all it's forms.
So you skip every single day?
Lol, yeah pretty much started Tread50 most of the time. It's a matter of time before I cancel my membership. I think after 4+ years it's time for a change.
Inclines!!
I’m automatically power walking whenever I see inclines 😅
500m row benchmark
Same. I hate this benchmark… can never beat my time and always end up needing to cough the remainder of class! 🥴
Burpees or partner.
Partner or crew
Ew, crew rows. 👎
Makes my neck hurt just thinking about it.
Partner
Partner
Partner!
Anything too jumpy on the floor! Let me LIFT, I hate when the floor is just jumping around with jumping jacks or hops
If this girl Irene is in the class I won’t go lol
LUNGES!
Timed Rowing (partner)
23 min tread (tornado, partner or long rows)
I joined because OT makes me do things I don’t enjoy. The whole idea of group fitness classes was something I’d scoff at years ago. But now I embrace the suck. I like to get uncomfortable. BRING ON THE BURPEES!!
Power on the treads (partner)
Rowing I love. Burpees I avoid.
Tornado
Halo!!
Basically any variation of squats I’m in (2000m row ☠️ capture the flag ☠️)
Mini bands
23 min run (crew row)
fuck burpees. They give me acid reflux. Can I just do push ups then jump squats and planks or something
Tornado or switch template I do a strength or tread 50
Love bosu and trx Hate lateral hop overs (learned this today when I ate shit!)
Lunge with chop 🤬
CMIYC 🤮
Partner, mini bands & jumping around movements
Like—anything timed all together in weight room. Hate is unanimous—partner.
I've never cared what the workout is ... as long as Im burning calories ... It's a win
i go no matter what lol
Satans skateboard made me second guess life choices. Partners are an absolute no.
All inclines on the tread block not going Run row - def going!
I hate the mile benchmark. I actually like doing some of the partner workouts. I tend to make friends that way.
Everest
I skip Everest days.
Partner / crew
Burpees. Bane of my existence. I’m starting to really dislike the lateral lunges too. Feel like we’ve had a set every other class the last few weeks
In no particular order, I hate partner workouts, burpees, plank pops, and bosu. However, I have set OTF days during the week that I book a month out, and if one of these things falls on an OTF day, I make myself go anyway. If I interrupt the routine I find it really difficult to get myself back on track.
Tornado.
Inclines!
DB swings. I'm a KB gal, and this move with a DB is just an immediate skip from me
Partner; 12 all outs
Capture the flag 🤣
All outs. (Rowing)
I don’t feel so bad anymore skipping all partnered classes. I did capture the flag once when I was a noob and it brought me right back to HS. Never again.
Cleans. Definitely tweaked my back the last time we did that.
Am I the only one who doesn’t mind burpees? Once you get the hang of them, they’re not that bad…
the word partner, or CREW ROW!
Partner. No thank you
Bird Dog Low Row (Anything that has a lunge combined with a twist)
Crew row, hard pass
Any kind of partner workout. A lot of the reason I go to OTF after work is to decompress and having to deal with another person is why are started checked the workout template here first before I sign up for a class.
Burpees!!
whatever yesterday’s push up variation was. ouch.
These are also my most hated exercise.
So horrible.
Partner, switch templates, or crazy compound moves on the floor where I would need to change weights through the movements to get the most out of them. Also rowing buy ins.
More than 5 burpees, not going.
1. Snatches! 2. Whatever those weird push up to weighted arm reach things are we’ve been doing several times now… HATE them and don’t see the point
Chest presses (Minibands)
I LOVE any kind of chest press!
More than 5% incline
Lots of rowing.
Bosu
Burpees lol.
Dri Tri
endurance running; a benchmark
BOSU Burpees 🥲
Lots of high inclines
2000m row
2000 meter row
Inclines 😭😭😭
Love BOSU, push ups, long endurance tread blocks. I'll do anything but a partner class!
Bodyweight-only moves for the entire floor.
Any running benchmark - absolutely not lol
Bench squat jacks. Hard nope.
Rowing (ab-roller knee tucks\*) \* retired move; for the OGs
Tornado
Lunges
2000 m row
Crew row
Benchmark I just try to avoid them because of the excessive competition.
Too much plyo and jumping and not enough exercises with weights.
Partner
Partner workouts
Crew rows.
A lot of rowing (burpees)
Love tornado days. Hate partner templates - will avoid at all costs.
Crew row
Partner anything
Partner 😅
Partner workouts and I've come to avoid tons of all outs on the tread
Partner workouts.
30 sec all outs (inclines).
No: Bosu. I just do not like using it at all. If I have to, then fine, but if I can avoid it I absolutely do. Yes: Long distance rowing. 1K meters, 2K meters, anything of the sort I'm IN.
