I get there and another girl answered the door and as I arrived at 9:35 she said that I couldn't be let in but if I showed up at 9:31 I could have been let in. Why would they not have told me that on the phone versus driving all the way down here. Very inconsiderate, rude, and not flexible for life happens moments. Be transparent if you are closing the doors one minute after class starts after I called ahead (due to an accident on a rainy day) and would be five minutes late. Wouldn't have wasted my time or my gas. Now I'm most likely going to be charged $20 for "no show" fantastic.

I work out there five days a week (though I'm 28 and generally healthy, so for some, that might be a lot--don't feel like you need to go that often). If you're looking for a workout that will leave you totally exhausted, this is the place. As a former college athlete, I needed something challenging that made the most of my time, and OTF has absolutely delivered. I sometimes struggle with staying motivated to work out on my own, but OTF has been a total game-changer. With a coach guiding you through every move and pushing you to give it your all, it's hard not to stay motivated. While group fitness gyms can be pricey, I truly believe there's no better investment than in your health. A plus is that your membership works at almost every OTF gym, so if you're traveling, you can still get a great workout in. You can always try your first class for free, but fair warning--once you give it a go, you might never want to leave!

If you're in Columbia or just passing through, check out Robin Riley Martin's mat classes or set up…read morean appointment for one-on-one work with her. You'll be amazed. Classes are no larger than eight people most days, and each person gets to work at a built-up mat with a tower. So the first 30 minutes of class are traditional mat followed by some work with bands, bars, etc. It's a great 45-minute workout, and she is incredibly focused and fun at the same time. Robin was certified through the authentic Joseph Pilates group in New York, so she's the real deal. I've been with her for about a year and have been impressed with the body changes.

This gym, which largely exists as a showpiece for potential students, is beautiful to look at.

The problem is that the gym is WAY TOO SMALL for the student population. There was a 10-15 minute wait to get on an elliptical for the entire spring semester, because students were getting ready for spring break and then using equipment as a study break for finals. The track was likewise crowded to the point of human traffic jams. If you are required to pay for the gym as part of your student fees, then it is a nice amenity, but it is not worth the cost otherwise.

It's smaller, with an encouraging community--kind of an "everyone knows your name" vibe where you could make friends that go beyond exercise. I certainly do much better with that kind of crew pushing me forward rather than going it alone. I started out a total beginner, pretty out of shape, but they patiently coached me into better form and longer endurance. After going a few years I was even persuaded to train to do their rowing half marathon--a milestone experience for me! Even after all that I'm still finding rowing (dare I say) a fun experience with this crew. They have a free class on Saturdays if you just want to check it out!
