Andrew Coleman Smith Coach Vinny is amazing - as are YOU Andrew! #OTF needs to have you travel around the country for a promotion! I want you in one of my classes! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video and for being you! You are my hero!!! 🙌🏻✌️
That would be freaking AMAZING! I would love that. Thank you for watching! I'm so glad you liked it! 👊🏼
Andrew, thank you so much for asking my question to the coach. My name is pronounced "zoo-lay-kha" some folks who speak Spanish say it like "sue-lay-ka" so if you want to pronounce it in Arabic use the first if Spanish use the second. Thank you again! I doubt you'll have to say it on your videos but just f.y.i :) thanks again!
I am glad that the staff at your Orangetheory is cool and so are the coaches. Unfortunately the experience I had with Sacramento was not positive. The front desk lady was really rude!!
Hey RUclips world, this is your coach Vinny here. Thank you EVERYONE for all your kind, encouraging words. I just got done talking with my wife about how all of these positive vibes being sent my way are going to make me a better person, and as a biproduct a better OTF coach for all of you. Words genuinely can't describe the literal feeling inside of me when I read these loving comments. And a special thank you to Andrew Coleman Smith! I contacted him after watching his inspiring videos and he immediately got back to me. Without hesitation he trusted to come take class with a trainer he'd never met and for someone who is a self-described introvert I think that in itself is phenomenal. Andrew and I scratched the surface of synergy (the interaction of two or more energies to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects). The key here is '2 or MORE!' If we ALL come together with positive mind sets and intention we'll change the world!! ALL of us! Love you guys!! ❤
Side note: My Facebook settings were private but I JUST changed them. I apologize, I know nothing about social media lol. If you tried to find me to send a message you should be able to now- I think. Thanks again for all the love!
I cannot thank you enough or reaching out and giving your time to answer our questions and provide such great insight into how we can all improve our workouts and lives. The knowledge you provided to me and everyone watching is PRICELESS. I'm excited for everyone to see more of the vids we are going to create together in the near future! Cheers to Synergy! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Vinny Waara great video Vinny! Love your passion, I’m a regional coach / owner here in calgary Canada. I look forward to meeting you some day!
So encouraging! I'm an introvert and shy, so never wanted to do a gym.... so I really love how dark it is, you can't see me dying, and it's loud, so can't hear it either 😂. I'm excited to do this for the accountability and pushing myself with others but having a personal trainer. So excited to continue my OT and fitness journey.
great stuff man! you are an inspiration!
i just saw this video today....what a great trainer you are, very informative, so calm and encouraging. I hope you are still doing this...it shows that you like it and are very knowledgeable
I’m 48 years old. I’ve been doing OTF twice a week since June 2017. I ❤️it!!
Go Nancy!!!!! 💪🏼🔥💪🏼🔥💪🏼🔥 Thanks for watching!
Lol my question was so long😂
Thank you for asking!! I appreciate you asking and the advice!!
And update!! I was able to make it through a workout WITHOUT nausea and I have been able to increase my intensity more because I'm adjusting to it lol
No! It was perfect!!! Thank you for asking that -you aren’t the only one that wanted to know that, I guarantee!!
So funny this just popped up in my feed after 3 years. I still love watching you do videos! You are the BEST!
Great inspiration! I’ll celebrate my 59th birthday in a month, and love it when I’m the “splat” leader on the board at Orangetheory.
Heck yeah, Ed! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It was so cool finding your channel! I work at one of the main orangetheorys in toronto and it definitely is a life changer. Ive seen so many of our clients with awesome results . Not just in their body but even their personality as well. Their energy levels have changed, their diet is cleaner, their skin and hair are glowing and just wonderful seeing that. You have such a perfect personality for this and im so glad youre basically promoting it. You make me want to do the same !!
I'm so glad you found me!! I'm truly grateful for OTF and what it has already done in my life over these past 3 months. I feel so thankful that I've found something that not only WORKS for me, but makes me excited to go each time (minus the 6am classes 😜) I really appreciate the kind words, friend!
Thank you Vinny for taking the time to answer all the questions. You truly represent what I believe OTF is all about.
He sure does! 👊🏼
It’s crazy, but some things he said I can totally relate to- doing things you never thought you could! Since I’ve been going to OTF consistently my anxiety has decreased tremendously- it’s still amazing to me. I also did the tri-dri and when I walked in to the studio a week later I couldn’t believe a sign that said I posted top 3 females. It was so unbelievable to me- I never ever ever liked running- now I actually (kinda) enjoy it!
Right?! OTF is truly life changing in SO many ways. Ummm, CONGRATS FOR CRUSHING THE DRI TRI!!!! Not easy. Good for you! Also, on top of all those amazing things, the fact it’s easing anxiety for you is fantastic!!
Yasss! My sister is dairy free for health issues and loves the brand SoDelicious! Their yogurt is actually really good!
Absolutely love this! It's so refreshing to hear an orangetheory coach who's been through a significant weight loss. Ive been big my whole life (heaviest 340lbs) and have recently began my SECOND weight loss transformation (lost over 100 pounds in high school and gained it back). This gives me more motivation and reassurance that I'm on the right path this time and I've actually decided to get my certifications and hopefully be an OTF coach soon!! Excited to watch more of your videos, keep grinding brother!
Thanks man! I'm so happy this vid could inspire you. Coach Vinny is such an amazing person to look up to and before you know it, you'll being doing the exact same for people! 💪🏼 Stick with it, bro! 👊🏼 Thanks for watching
Andrew Coleman Smith thanks man and you too! Keep grinding! I look forward to following the rest of your journey
Omg...this is amazing! Especially the part where you guys discussed lower splat points after having higher ones. I have been experiencing that lately and feeling so frustrated. My heart rate decreases super fast during the recovery period and it’s even harder to get my heart rate back up into the orange zone. Thanks for doing this, Andrew!
P.s. you encouraged me to go on this OTF journey and I have to say, even though I’m frustrated with my splat points, I’m already addicted to it.
You're so welcome, friend! All thanks to Vinny though! And yeah, my mind was BLOWN when I found that out. Makes perfect sense, but I just thought something was up, ha!
I'm glad I could be a source of encouragement for you! Joining OTF has honestly been one of the best decisions I've made in years.
This was so interesting and helpful, thank you Andrew and Vinny!
All thanks to Vinny!!!!
getting back into OTF and came back to this video... hearing someone who was overweight their whole life not start their journey until after college just like me is insanely inspirational!
Vinny is one of the very best there is! Amazing inspiration!
I like that you added the testimonials from those over 40, thanks for sharing!!! 😀
Thanks for watching, friend!!!
Just loving these videos as a true OTF (57 y/o) convert. Key to beginners: Do Not Compare!!! Get in your own zone and work at what you can do. Taking a break is FINE! There may be a triathlete to your right and a relative newbie to your left. Focus on yourself alone and your progression will fall into place. And for my own two cents, Andrew, really appreciate hearing voices of the 50+ crowd! This is so doable, no essential, for my peer group1
Bridget - 50 y/o here and love it. Plus with extremely busy lives the fact that you can get this type of a workout done in 1 hr. makes fitting it into a full schedule easier.
YES YES YES YES YES!!!! Let me say it again, YES! Everything in this comment is so on the money, Bridget! I'm so happy you are liking the vids!!! Thanks for watching and keep burning, friend! 🔥
I love the stories of your classmates! I started a month ago and absolutely love it!
Thank you for this interview! I found your channel when I was struggling with HUGE anxiety to use a certificate for two free weeks at OTF that I won at a silent auction, and your videos were a major game changer for me! After those two weeks, I ended up joining at the 8 classes a month level because I loved the results that I saw. I previously went to barre3 5 days a week, so now doing both barre3 AND Orangetheory is the perfect combination. Please keep sharing your amazing videos because they are so inspiring! Thank you for all you do!
Melissa, thank you so much for telling me this. I'm so happy my videos helped ease your mind about OTF! Also, good for you for joining and sticking with it! I have tried Barre3 before (my sister was actually an instructor at one time) and it's a killer workout! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Thanks for watching and KEEP BURNING!!
I signed up and went 2 hours later. I've always been overweight and never in shape. I about passed out twice (I didn't have enough fuel in my system). I had to stop and recoup. Now I'm planning my food better especially for my workout days. I loved my free class! My 1st gym experience and I'm happy. Got my next 8 classes scheduled.
YES YES YES!!! You will fall more and more in love with it as you move forward, just wait! 💪🏼
Great interview and insight! I increased from 3 classes a week to 4-5 and it's made a huge difference.
Always look forward to Fat Tuesday's!!
YES! You're crushing it, friend! Thanks for watching. See you next week!!!
Andrew it was great having you in class. As you know you were with the best coach Orange Theory has. Coach Vinny, you are amazing. Thank you!
It was great being there! Thank y’all for welcoming me in! And yes, Coach Vinny is NEXT LEVEL 🔥🔥🔥
OMG.... when I heard Coach Vinny talk about starting in the weight room.... it made sense. I tried it last night! I was fresh so my form was tight and weights were heavy! That totally works for me! Thanks!
Totally! This is now my regular plan too now. That's where I want to make the most progress anyways, so I loved that advice!
Seriously the MOST helpful video on OT that exist on RUclips
As an OTF coach I can say Vinny is definitely very knowledgable and informative. I even learned a thing or two watching this video
Vinny is amazing! Great friend and coach 👊🏼 Thank you for watching!!
I"m literally tearing up watching this. I need a Coach Vinny in my life...
Damn raising the bar Andrew! Totally geeked out to this guy talking about #OTF. Next time I’m in Seattle I might just have to find a way to take his class. Great questions and insights here, well done. Totally worth the 25 minutes...
Thanks so much, brother. And yes, I recommend everyone taking a Vinny class! (Also, you better let me know when you’re in!)
Andrew Coleman Smith of course I meant to mention that as well. Could be a while (no trips planned currently) but we should get a workout in, that would be a blast!
DONE AND DONE! We have to!
You inspired me to do my first OTF class and I am OBSESSED now. 💕 Love you!
Ah! Love ya right back!! 👊🏼 So glad I could help, friend!
I've been a lifelong athlete and doing Orange Theory for a couple of years. Doesn't matter what your fitness level is, this place can put on a workout. It's really just up to you. I just love these videos. So fun to watch the excitement. This is my new favorite channel! Love it.
Totally agree, man! Thanks so much for watching. I'm so happy you're liking them (and I'm honored I'm your new favorite channel!) 👊🏼
I’ve been watching your videos and today I decided to try my first orangetheory class and loved it!!! Thank you for being an inspiration
Thanks for watching!!! OTF is truly life changing!
Andrew! I saw one of your videos almost a month ago and decided to try Orange Theory and I love it!!! Thank you for inspiring me :)
Excellent interview...so informative
Oh man, I feel a million times better after watching him talk about the splat points. I've gone 14 times total - 3 prior to COVID, 11 after and I rarely break through to the orange. I'm always so close, though (80-83). Typically, if I get 4-5 splat points after a workout, I call it a win. I've actually walked away before with 0, so I'm definitely feeling better after listening to him talk about this (around the 10:30-ish mark).
What's amazing about Orangetheory is that after years of going to different gyms I finally feel in control of my body and my fitness. Good tip I discovered about earning splat points while powerwalking; during the base pace and recovery phases I keep the inclines up maybe 3 or 4 percent. Keeps the heart rate up that much longer.
Totally relate to feeling in control of your fitness - Well worded. Thanks for the tip too (and for watching!)! 👊🏼
Great video. I’m definitely down for watching more of these coach interviews!
Thank you!! More to come on this!
Thank you for this! I think Coach Vinny needs to go on tour to visit other studios!
Thank YOU for watching! And yes he does!!!! People would love him!
Actually, YOU need to go on OTF tour, too!!!
😊
I watched this video on Thursday. Yesterday I committed to add that .1 to my push, as I was already less than 1 between base and push. This is because my brain seems to say, “Look. You’re already running and it sucks. It doesn’t matter that your base and push are merely.7ish apart from one another. Just don’t walk and you’ll be fine.”
Today I made sure the difference was 1 (without backing off yesterday’s increase in push pace). I also focused on my form in the weight room. As a result, I earned 4 points in the weight room (which NEVER happens) and earned more overall splat points than usual. Thanks for this video!
I'm so happy the vid helped you!!! Really, that's AMAZING! All thanks to the Coach Vinny! He gave us all such great knowledge for our journeys! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I loved this! Coach Vinny is so awesome and inspiring!
HE IS THE BEST!!!!!
Saw instagram that the video was up and came here ASAP 🙌🏼
I’m so glad you did!!!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
i love this channel because andrew is the "regular everyday" guy!!
This makes me want to try Orange Theory... thank you for posting.
Amber Thompson It’s been a year...have you taken a sip of the orange koolade yet?
Woo hoo! I have been stalking out RUclips all day today waiting on this video. 😂
Ah! Thank you, Jamie!!! 😊
Thanks Vinny! Such insightful info! You’re a natural on camera.
Andrew thank you for pouring your talents into these videos-you make this SO fun! It’s an added dimension that pushes me thru OTF workouts with a smile...so grateful. #closethegap #ilovefattuesday
Vinny is great isn't he?! Ah, thank you!!! I love making these videos for y'all. I'm so glad you're liking them!!! I love that you love Fat Tuesdays! 😊👊🏼
Just took my 2nd class....this was SUPER informative. Thank you!
LOVE! Ok, not only was this incredibly inspirational as advertised but it increased my enthusiasm and motivation for my upcoming OT journey. The ONLY thing I would challenge in the video is the comment about losing weight. The focus is quite obviously on fitness here but I believe nutrition is at least 90% of the battle.
Coach Vinny...Your voice and cadence of speaking crack me up but you offer really great advice. It feels like you truly understand the weight loss journey and recognize we are all at different levels, on unique paths. I love how you remind us to listen to our bodies and go at our own pace. I am most inspired by those who understand that it's not about how you LOOK...but how you FEEL. You had me at VEGAN...GAH! I'm a 44 year old, 20-year vegan and can de-bunk the myth of all vegans being wraith-like creatures. You CAN be a junk food vegan! (Ummm...did you mention ice cream? Try Luna and Larry's chocolate hazelnut fudge "ice cream" or - and I just tried this recently - Ben and Jerry's vegan coconut 7 layer bar! But I digress...). Aaaaanyway...I am now a fan. Will you please come train at the new Issaquah location??? That is soon to be my home...
Thank you again my Southern friend Andrew (I'm the one who moved from KY to Seattle)!!! :)
Hello my southern friend!! 👋🏼👋🏼 Thanks for watching of course! Also, I'm glad you got some inspo out of the video. I'm really interested in "going Vegan" (or at least trying it) Hopefully more to come on this! (and absolutely I'll stop by!)
Great interview! And awesome OTF swag - especially the grey pullover! Looking healthy!
Thanks man!! Yeah, I had my eye on that pullover for a while. Had to get one!
Fantastic video, Andrew! Loved hearing from someone who has gone through the battle I’m fighting. Most of the time when I’m in my Orange Theory class, I want to die. And I always think, “Maybe I should just quit.” But the after effect is so amazing, I keep going. This video just makes it all the more worth it.
I’m so glad the vid helped! Vinny is such a great motivator and it’s so great that he knows what we’re going through!
Good info about the base pace and push. I’ve been getting ZERO points. One trainer even asked “is there something wrong with your monitor?” My heart rate plummets big time so easy.
Andrew I really appreciate all your fitness videos & thanks to Vinny for shedding some orange light on the calorie burn / splat point question.
Thank you, January!!!! I really appreciate you saying that. And yes, the Orange light was shed for sure 😊
Thanks to you, I went to my first OTF class this week!! Thank you for these inspirational and honest videos!!
AHH! Wow, I'm honored!! Also, I'm so happy for you. I say this all the time, but joining Orangetheory was one of the best decisions I could have made for my future and I know it WORKS - so kudos to you for making the leap and changing your life! 😊
Love this video 💪🏼💖💖
Great interview! I'm going to recommend it to people who have questions at class.
Thank you!!! Vinny is next level! 👊🏼
this was amazing!! thank you so much for meeting with him and asking him questions that we all have! i love watching your journey!!!
I'm so happy you liked it!! Isn't Coach Vinny THE BEST?! I honestly can't thank you enough for the love, Meghanne! 😊
I'm obsessed with orange theory, I'm only 16 and I've been going for about 3 and a half months and I think it's hands down the best workout. I just started watching ur videos an hour ago and I cannot stop because they are all so interesting and about orange theory!!! love all your vids and u seem like a great person
THANK YOU JORDAN! 👊🏼
This guy is amazing to listen to!
Thanks so much for this interview! I loved it 😍. Just joined OT less than a month ago and grateful for the community that comes with it. Keep up the great work, Andrew!!!
Thank you for watching! Yes, welcome to the OT Fam! 🍊🍊🍊 The Reddit community for OTF is great too if you haven't checked that out yet!
Wow I was getting less splat and recovering fast. Now I know why, I was fit! Great video.
I'm a nurse and i should be sleeping for the night shift tonight....... But no instead I'll watch all your videos 😂🤣💛
I for sure think you should get some sleep, BUT I love that you're watching my vids ha! Thank you!!!!
Yay night shift nurse power lol , it ok most night shift don’t have normal sleep pattern lol
I needed this!! I've been going since September and changed some bad habits I had...now my heart rate really does plummet during base....I was walking too. This encouraged me to try and continue to jog and now I'm keeping those splat points up! SOOOO happy I found your channel :)
So glad you found my channel too!! Be encouraged and CRUSH the rest of this year, friend!
Wow, I didn't know how much I needed this. Thank you!
I'm so happy it helped you!!! Thanks for watching and letting me know this. All credit to Coach Vinny!
i definitely use the closing the gap method on the treadmill and Coach Vinny is 100% right! not only has it been a lot easier to recover faster but I have noticed that i'm getting more time in orange and red zone! #FITNESSPERSON
Loved it! I’ve been sick as a DAWG the last 5 days... so my Orangetheory Week #2 was a BUST! But I will be back on it Friday morning 🙌🏼. Keep inspiring me!!!
I got the Flu shortly after I joined too, I know how that feels. Sucks!! But it’s a journey, so that’s just part of it. As long as you don’t quit, you’re winning!!!!!!
I too got sick a few weeks ago. It suuuuuuucked because I felt like I was finally in the OT groove! I’m now a week back into it- battling asthma, but doing it! Get back on the horse- it’s worth it. ✌🏼
I'm sick too and on that note, I have been at OTF and other gyms where really sick people are working out. Having weak respiratory issues with asthma, past pneumonia, etc., my plea is if someone is that sick and contagious, PLEASE stay home. Unfortunately, I'll likely be slammed online for saying this. However, my asthma specialist and my family doc are in total agreement on this subject.
Totally agree, actually. It's better to just wait and get well first (for others and your own workout too!!)
Heidi Schaffnit I totally agree!!! I got my cooties from work but it’s such a set back to other folks! Please don’t spread your cooties🙌🏻
I love OTF in 2021-2022
Thank you for this video and the questions answered. Really gave me a lot of info prior to my first visit to Orangetheory Fitness! I"m so excited!
Ah! I'm so happy it helped you!!! You're gonna love OTF!!!!
Andrew I love your videos! I’m an OTF manager and soon to be coach and was considering starting a vlog like channel to show what I do week to week IN OTF and in fitness in general. I love your enthusiasm and your honest reviews. Your videos are inspiring me to maybe soon make my own! 🍊💃🏻😛
Love this! Love listening to great coaches talk with great passion. Need to connect with this great coach! Thanks Andrew and Vinny.
Thanks man! Yes - Coach Vinny is an OTF superstar! Also, I have TONS more questions that we didn't get to so you know what that means.... YOU'RE NEXT! Ha!
Andrew Coleman Smith love it! I can’t wait. And thanks to vinny again, I learned some new things as well with the video!
This was great! Learned so much. New OTF goal: closing my gap
Me too!! That’s going to be my new thing!
This was great! Thanks to both of you for a really engaging and informative chat!
I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you for watching, friend!
This was perfect! Got all of my questions answered as I continue my OTF journey! Thank you Andrew and Vinny!
Thanks man!! I'm so happy you liked the vid & it helped you (I learned so much too!) ALL thanks goes to the amazing Coach Vinny! 🍊🍊🍊
I’m 44 so I do love going it’s my way to get in shape and feel better. I get sad because I have a child that’s special needs home with me so the staying home can eat away your love for life! Going to OTF makes me feel better about life and if I can get up and go anybody can do it!
Thank you for sharing this, Jennifer! I know there are people out there that can relate and I hope they see this! OTF is truly life changing for so many reasons 🧡
Andrew Coleman Smith yes so if anybody sees this know that it wasn’t easy to go but after two weeks it feels good to go so there’s day when I can’t go because of my son. I’m not there for a fashion show so go workout in what your comfortable in and try a class. I’ve met some great coaches moving around so I’m happy to share my struggles and love for going!
So much truth in this. Thank you for being so transparent in your journey. I know it will bless people.
Phenomenal video! Thanks for taking the time to put this content out there for us! As if the OTF nation weren't inspiring enough, I'm even more inspired now after listening to Vinny. OTF love from Salem, OR!
I'm so glad you liked it! I learned so much from him too! It was a great experience being able to ask him these questions. Thank you for watching, friend! 💪🏼💪🏼
Your videos helped me. I joined OT after watching your reviews and I love it. Thank you
Ah! I'm so happy to hear that, friend! I hope you are continuing to stick with it and CRUSH this year's goals!!! 💪🏼 I'm rooting for you!
Close the gap between your push and the base... very good information. Thank you!
This was AWESOME. Thank you Vinny and Andrew!
Thank you for watching, Shannon!!
Wow, that was really informative and motivating! Thanks so much to Andrew and Coach Vinny for posting this!
I’m glad you liked it!! Thanks for watching 👊🏼
OTF obsessed myself. Thanks so much for your series! Shrinking the gap starting tomorrow :)
YES!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Thank you for watching Cindy!!
I've been wanting to try OTF for about 8 months, I was sleeping and got up and saw your first video on my timeline. I'm gonna use this as a sign and go sign up for a class in Langley this week. Lets see if I actually make it to a class 😁.
I was a little late watching this but very inspirational..Thank you Vinny and Andrew for this valuable information.
Thank you for checking it out! I’m so glad you liked it!!!
Great questions and the answers were thoughtful and very helpful. I am so excited to start OT. Thank you both so much! Wish I lived in Seattle so I could take Coach Vinny's class.
He's so great! If you're ever close, you should totally take one of his classes!
Great video! Thanks for asking great questions! I enjoyed learning more about OTF! I’ve been going 2x week for 4 months now and really loving it!
Thanks for watching, Dana!! 👊🏼 Keep burning!
Looking good Andrew!! Those arms and legs are getting buff. Thanks for the video. This was very helpful!
THANK YOU!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I'm so happy it helped - All thanks to Vinny though. He is the MASTER
Good info! And Vinny's success story is inspiring. I love it! I wanna fly out from STL just to take one of his classes now. Thanks for the video Andrew!! 🍊💪
Right?! Shows us all it can be done! If you're ever in the area I HIGHLY suggest stopping in! Thanks for watching, Christine! 👊🏼
Such great info and interview!! Good stuff! It’s all about the base, the base, the base. 😜🏃🏼♀️💪🏻
Yes yes yes! Thanks for watching! 😊
A lot of good stuff .. I love Coach Vinny!
He is literally the best! I learned so much talking with him. #CloseTheGap
Hell yeah! So delicious ice cream!! That’s my weakness too.
Woohoo! Been waiting for this vid but soo cool of an interview with a coach - love it!! Thanks Vinny😄 also I did that workout in your vid and it a good tough one in the weight room💪🏻
I’m so glad you liked the vid, Rachael!! Shoutout to Vinny for sure! And yeah, I’m glad I was wasn’t the only one that thought it was tough ha!!
Another Awesome video Andrew and Big Thanks to Vinny!
ALL thanks to Vinny! He is such a wealth of knowledge (and inspiration!)
Thank you for the interview!
Thank you for watching, Lindsay!
I really like OTF to get my cardio (since I can't motivate myself to do cardio alone), but I could never rely on this to look fit. Will you lose weight? Yes. Will you build significant muscle, which will ultimately change your physique? No. Proof is in all the members who go all the time. They say they've been doing OTF for 6-12 etc. months and they don't look too fit overall. They probably have strong hearts, which is great. But they still look soft and fluffy. On the other hand, if you put someone on a 3 month bodybuilding program, the physical change can be extremely dramatic. The problem with OTF is it's just too much cardio. The weight workouts don't focus on progressive overload. The weight workouts are too varied and therefore it's hard to get stronger in specific movements and in turn build solid muscle.
If you want to train your heart and lungs and feel great. OTF is awesome. If you have specific physique goals that include more than looking like a smaller version of yourself without any definition, then OTF is great. If you want to build a strong, lean athletic physique, focus on progressive overload weight training and use OTF to get a nice cardio workout 1-2 times a week.
FYI, I am speaking from experience. I did OTF soley for a long time, like Andrew does. I still looked flabby and soft. I decided to start focusing on weight training and within a few months, the change in my body was significant. As has been the case for several of my girlfriends who used to only do OTF.
Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, Lonnie! I'm glad you liked the vid!
So helpful. I love OTF ❤️
Great video. I was in today and Amy told me about this video. I'm an occasional MI attendee and Vinny is a great coach. MI is a really nice studio too. Well worth the short drive from the E or W Side
Totally worth it! Vinny is the best and that studio is top notch 💯
Vinny is the best
YES! AGREED!!
FANTASTIC interview. Lots of takeaways that I can incorporate tomorrow at OTF (at the glorious hour of 5 am) Happy FatTuesdaynotTuesday
Vinny dropped so much knowledge on us all, myself included! Good luck tomorrow am! I did a 6am and almost went back to bed when my alarm went off. ALMOST! Ha!
“Happy FatTuesdaynotTuesday” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As I type this, you should be just finishing your 5am workout...if you're on the east coast! #Gofor12
Stuart Kidder I went and crushed it. I am on the West Coast. Happy Friday!
I loved this video so much! Thank you for posting and I’m going to try the tip to “close the gap” between my base and push
Thanks for watching, friend! I’ve heard of many people doing this after watching and they swear by it! (Vinny is a genius)
I haven’t done Orangetheory but I couldn’t understand what he was talking about.
Soooo goood!!!! Such good ques & answers!!!
All thanks to y’all for the questions and Vinny for the answers!!
This was amazing, so much insight from this video! Also I can't remember if you've mentioned this in your videos, but there's a HUGE OTF reddit community. They post the workouts each day, "non-scale" victories, questions/advice, etc.
Thanks for watching, Stephanie! Yes, I've found the Reddit community a few weeks back and it's a great resource for sure! I also love the concept of Non-Scale victories!
Excellent interview!!! You should consider doing that for a living 😂. There was a lot of good information that I think all of us can incorporate into our workouts. I know I will be increasing my speed on the treadmill the next time I go. It was great to hear from someone that actually went through the struggle. Thank you very much for doing this interview. Great work!! Rock on my brother 🤘🏼🏋🏻🚣🏻♂️🏃🏻💩
Ha!! Thanks, Joe! I learned so much myself interviewing him. I hope this video can be a resource for people like us that are on this journey to change our lives! Thanks for watching and KEEP BURNING! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
To avoid feeling nauseous drink less water durring workout. Drink a lot of water
Durrinf the day!
Very informative. Thank you
The video was worth the wait! Shout out to Vinny from a fellow OTF Vegan! BTW that Ice cream is “So Delicious” but I believe the snickerdoodle flavour is a cashew base. So creamy, so fatty, SO DELICIOUS. Definitely can’t have that in my house all the time 🙊
The more I hear about that ice cream the more I want to try it ha!!! I’m so glad you waited for me! I had a crazy last few days and I wanted this video to be done right!
