SEPTEMBER MEMBER OF THE MONTH IS…….Jack McDaniel!!! We see your efforts and the results show!
Q&A:
What do you love about Orangetheory Fitness?
I love having a structured workout regimen where the coaches help keep me accountable and focused. Their expert guidance makes every class feel purposeful, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. I also enjoy the variety: the templates, challenges, and signature workouts keep things fresh. And the data tracking and analytics really motivate me to push a little harder each time.
What improvements have you noticed in your day-to-day life since joining?
I have noticeably more energy overall. I was never someone who enjoyed running, but now I actually look forward to the challenge. My stamina has increased so much that I recently completed the ultra marathon during marathon month, something I never imagined doing. Before OTF, I wouldn’t have come close to running 31 miles in a month. I’m also maintaining my strength, which can be tough for people in their mid‑60s, and that’s been a huge win.
What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about joining?
Don’t worry about being perfect at every station or mastering every movement right away. I certainly didn’t (and I still make mistakes) but the progress comes from showing up and staying committed to the journey. As your technique improves, don’t be afraid to challenge yourself. That’s where the real growth happens.
What is your favorite workout/template?
Capture the Flag, and really any template that involves a buddy or two. Everything is more fun in teams!
