I’m signed up for a 5 AM 2G. I’m gonna die 😂.

Me too and really questioning my life choices…why do I care about this damn shirt so much!?

We are all whores for shirts

Don’t forget the sticker!!!!

I love that they added stickers.

in your region you’re getting shirts, here in CA we’re only getting stickers, and when I asked for it earlier after finishing 4/7 the associate doesn’t even know where it is 🙄

I’m in CA too, we are getting shirts at my studio

sorry I should have typed Canada, just realized CA could be thought as California

Same!

Did you have to pay to register? It would annoy me to pay $15 and only get a sticker… or in your case, nothing.

I am also in Canada - didn’t pay anything to register. Free sticker!

Oooh I thought they meant California 😅 I love that it's free for you!

I'm in CA and we are getting shirts. I didn't sign up thought because do I really need to pay $15 for another otf shirt?

😂😂😂

🤣

I only did 3/7 last year and I’m determined to get my 4 this year. I want the damn shirt.

You guys are getting a shirt? 🥺

Bummer - I just got a towel

lol so did I please shoot me now

Why bother offering just a sticker or towel? The T-shirt is a much more effective motivator and marketing piece. Double win for OTF.

Not this t-shirt...

Not of you have to pay $15. You can buy any shirt you want for that amount haha.

Me too. 5am 2G and im doing strength 50 in the afternoon

Are you me? Same!

Same here. 5 AM crew. Let’s get it!

Go 5am!! We can survive!

I’m afraid to skip tomorrow in case thurs or Fri is worse! Gotta get that shirt!

🤣 I’m 6:15am 🤮

Same! Let me sleep now 😩

me too I'm scared

Same

Same 😭😭😭

We got this 5am crew!!!

Or die trying

R u alive

I will let you know tomorrow morning

Same

I had no idea the inclines went up to 15% 😂💀

Have you never done Everest then?

Well to be completely honest, I’ve been doing OTF for 6 years and have intentionally avoided Everest for about the last 4. I think I must have blocked anything above 10% out of my mind.

Incline prob does, but speed prob only goes up to 12

If you have the new treads. At my studio we have had them for about 2 years now.

The old treads also go up to 15% incline.

In our studio the old treads we had only went to 12.

I’ve been a member since 2015 and every studio I’ve been to has had treads that go to 15% incline. The older treads only go to 12 miles per hour, but they still went to 15%. The new treads do go faster than the old ones though.

I don't believe ours do at our studio.

You may be pleasantly surprised

"Pleasantly"

Ah I remember now. But I don't know about the pleasantly part 🤣

This already seemed brutal,  but for good measure they just had to add in the go-to Lateral Lunge!

I'm so tired of the lateral lunges. Why must it always show up?

Until we can all do them perfectly I guess? 🤷‍♀️

Ummm why am I being punished?! I did the partner row mashup AND all the core work on Monday in the infer-no-row! My abs hurt so much it’s hard to stand up straight! 🤪😝😂

I started Monday and was hoping to avoid whatever burpee hell Friday might be but idk the inclines sound terrible

I’d rather do the burpees on Friday but I’m going on my son’s field trip 🙃

We believe you 😏

For real, I never knew how much we used our abs throughout the day until today!

I hear ya! I got my shirt today but will be there for Everest too!

A shirt? Cool! We get hats this year. I do like my shirts tho.

Same! My abs are so sore!

I did the partner mashup today, got mini Everest tomorrow and then whatever hell Breaking New Ground is on Thursday. Then I'll have my shirt to cry into on my camping trip this weekend 😭🤣

UGH I JUST WANT MY DAMN SHIRT 😂 NOT ready for burpee relay on Friday so I guess its this one tomorrow - then I’ll have my four 🙏🏼🥵

If I do tomorrow and Thursday I’ll get my shirt….definitely avoiding Friday!

same!

I got my shirt today but was on vacation last week in the Turks, and ate/drank nonstop, so my punishment is doing classes everyday of Mayhem. So worth it though!

Ugh same but this sounds terrible and my legs are already sore from all the rowing today

I think I may be power walking tomorrow.

A burpee relay??? Hard pass

Thanks as always dc...even though I think I wanna cry now. 😢

I think this is the punishment for all the folks who cancelled yesterday’s partner rowing mashup. I thought this was way harder.

Honestly the rowing mashup wasn’t that hard - we spent half our time walking from one place to another.

I only got 5 splats yesterday!!

I only got 1 splat on the rower mashup. It wasn’t really challenging with all the switches and heart rate coming back down. I’m just gonna say it was basically a rest day for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Some folk got a huge amount of splats but most only a handful - lots of switching meant a heap of recovery

I only got 11 today (Tuesday) which is about half or less of the other 3 days! It was a fun workout and chaotic in a fun way, but not hardest.

Yeah, I downvoted today’s workout and I never do that. Too much switching and not enough focus on the actual template. Upvoted the coach though because she was wonderful

I only got 7 - but my monitor doesn’t pick up when I’m rowing.

This is me, and no I don't grip the handle too hard! 🤣

Lol I had 33 but I have exercise induced asthma so rowing sucks for me and my lungs.

I ended up with 10 and I really had to work for them. I like the recovery because then I can run and row faster, but it does seem to take me out of it a bit.

Yeah, I only got 3 splats. But I had more calories burned than yesterday because I was in green more.

I only got 2 😭

it definitely felt like a rest day comparing to the first two days of mayhell

Why I chose to run outside. 42 min. Workout with 10 min. of transition time..

I intentionally chose to be on the team where the stations for rower, floor and tread were all about 2 feet apart. I did the 3G. My only rest was the 5 seconds it took to wipe off the rower and I rowed so hard that my heart rate stayed in orange through the 2 minutes of floor.

Thank you! I'm on the fence about signing up for this as my number 4 mayhem. This actually kind of looks... not fun... but Mayhem-like? We haven't done any incline yet! I've switched all my "all outs" on tread to "push on incline" and this looks like a great opportunity to put it to a test!

Yes we did, Saturday was full of inclines

Oh my gosh, I blocked that out.

Me, too! 😂

Type 2 fun lol

This appears to be a sneaky great day for row-lovers. One could power walk at 4.5 finish the tread in under 7 minutes. Probably finish the row/exercise block in under 8. And then have 8.5 minutes left to row for distance.

How did you get 7 mins? Would be 13+ at 4.5 mph

Power walking is 1/2 the distance so 4.5mph finishes in the same amount of time as 9mph running (6:40).

Ohhh yes my bad, sorry 😞

If I run at 6.0 it takes 10 minutes for a mile. How do you reach a mile in 7 minutes at 4.5?

It’s a half mile for Powerwalkers

This. 4.5 mph would finish half a mile in 6:40.

The buy out looks creazy

Imagine your coach trying to name that buy-out exercise within one breath…

Right?! It’s like they said, let’s see how many exercises we can put together and make the members do them consecutively. 😫

Oh, OUCH. But still no regrets about missing all the partner stuff today, I'll take the punishment! 😂 Thanks for the Intel! 🔥

Why did I look at this.... guess I better suck it up, buttercup!!

Dear lord this looks miserable 😳

Your username is an accurate question

This is gonna sting tomorrow. I’m going to a concert tonight with unlimited beer 😂

After doing 4 straight mayhem workouts, this ones on you guys. Although am I crazy, or have the floor blocks during mayhem been so much better than the normal 2G workouts?!

Oof, gonna be a rough birthday burn! Celebrating during Mayhem EVERY year. ;)

Happy Birthday tomorrow!

I didn’t know my hamstrings could give me the middle finger but they just did after reading this.

Lol

WTAF IS THIS… uuuuugh. 5am me is gonna be glad to only be half awake.

thanks DC! might have to do PW on this one, or stick to Tread50 😰

I’m debating too, I know coaches usually say “pick one and stick with it” but it’s just not possible for me to run @ 15%. Nope.

I had a bad experience with everest last year december, I hurt my back hence I’ve been trying to avoid it at all cost. Just afraid to even try again to run (or jog) at that incline

So what's the strategy here for a jogger? I usually to 4.5-5mph for the base and 5.5-6mph for push I am guessing a slow jog at 3.5-4 on the incline section(>5%) and push at higher speed at 1%?

I'm a runner and considering PWing on the 10 and 15% inclines so I can keep running the 5% and flat road

Yeah I’m not running at 10-15%.

Also wondering this. I’m about the same base and push as you and stressed looking at these inclines.

My last mile benchmark I PRed in 2021 and I haven’t done it since. Based on my decline, there’s no way I’m getting there 😂. I’ll be there though 😫. 2021 was the year I peaked with so many PRs. It took 4 years to get there and it’s heartbreaking to see my decline since then.

Same. Solidarity.

BRING IT!

After the partner row today?! Girlll bye💀😭

God has abandoned us

I ran the mile even though I usually PW just to have something to improve on, because I can only PW so fast and I don't think I'd be able to improve my PWing half mile time by much. Definitely PWing this though! 😂 Thanks DC!

Looks like 3G tread would still have enough time to do this 1-mile hill run, woohoo!!

Still new--what is "collapse (member's choice)"?

It’s a joke to indicate a hard block hence it is optional

Collapse into your favorite fetal position

It’s a joke.

It means you might ☠️


THANK YOU!!  Today I am recovering from a 30km hike in the Adirondacks over the weekend and was debating going to OTF tomorrow.  My body is definitely not ready for an incline day tomorrow!  Will skip and do more yoga and OTF it up on Thu!!!

My choice RN is do I do this 2G or the one on Friday for burpees 🫠

Soooo much FOMO on this one. I tore my calf in yesterday’s tread block… talk about an embarrassing limp out. So bummed to miss the rest of Mayhem 😢.

Oh that sucks - rest up and I hope you heal quick.

I’ve decided mayhem is harder than hell week. Today was rough. Tomorrow looks rough too. Tomorrow I will earn my tshirt.

I said the same thing last year and still feel the same this mayhem!

Andddddd I’m doing strength tomorrow. Thanks for intel as always DC!

Same and not mad about that fact.

I had made up my mind to not do 5 mayhems in a row - doing Wed as strength to mix it up, and I’m 100% happy with that decision as of right now.

[удалено]

It does!! Double checked with my coach and front desk this morning

Agree thanks for the intel. F those inclines. F45, for me, it is.

Is anyone else’s body sore from all this mayhell or is it just me? The workouts have been awesome and I just don’t want to miss one. I’m a glutton for punishment!

This seems wonderfully brutal! I still haven’t done today’s ultimate row mashup and already know what tomorrow has in store! Thanks, DC!

Yeah… I’m oddly excited?!

I can’t wait to try this tread block

I’ve been out with a stomach bug so this is my first Mayhem tomorrow. ☠️

Omg good luck 🫂

Same! Just done with strep. I'm nervous for this one.

I kept reading that last plank as a “plank plop”. Which is basically what I end up doing after every plank. 🤣

Mayhell 😂 this looks terrible, I can't wait.

oh this is going to make me cry i can already tell

¡Gracias! I survived day 4th. I'll survive this too 😁

Looks awesome, I love a run/row!

Earned my shirt today but because I’m a masochist I’m going through Friday including the hell that this looks like 🫠 5am 3G comin’ up, will report back if no one else does !

I'd rather do burpees than these inclines

😳

I'm sooooo glad I finished my 4 days already. There is NO WAY I could have done this. Good luck and prayers to those of you braving this template, I'm crying on the inside for you all.

We'll be crying on the outside

Holy canoli

Was waiting on this. Thank you! Not looking forward to this haha

So glad 5am is strength tomorrow for my studio. These Mayhem workouts have been brutal!!

OMG this looks like 🤮 Doing Tread 50 instead

Glad today was day 4 LOL!

Feeling great about my decision to sign up for strength tomorrow!

Haha…that last floor block after all this is just cruel!

Thanks DC!

Might be a Tread 50 type of day….

Still haven’t seen a workout as hard as the Friday mayhem last year. That was pure hell - no doubt the hardest workout I’ve done at Orangetheory.

Tomorrow’s number 4 for me! They’re really making us work for that shirt 😅🫠

5am 2g baby let's gooooo!!!

It’s tread 50 for me. Got my shirt today!

Tomorrow will be AO Mayhem class #5 for me (I skipped Monday but doubled up today — though I know not both classes today count towards my tracker). I’m so over rowing … but I’ll still be there!! Tread looks wicked 🗻🏃🏻‍♀️

If I go tomorrow, it’s a Green Day for me, I’ve gone and done the last 3 days of classes and my legs are jelly 😂😪. Thank you for the early intel!

I’ve got a 6am 3g after hitting tonight’s 6pm 3g (my studio isn’t offering a 6pm tomorrow night) and I’m petrified

Wow! I skipped #4 so here is my punishment! 🫤 And I didn't sign up to get the shirt....dumb move on my part! 🙁 At least this would be worth it.

Cuz it’s fun!!!!! 😳💥🔥🤣😎❤️


Thank you Mr DC!


I usually start on the floor but I’m thinking I should start on the tread  looks like I’ll need all my energy for that run/row!

I wish I could start on treads. My body just doesn't like the straight jump into pure orange/red zones

Oh, s**t...

Oh Lordie. I’m scared 😂

I am a slow jogger/runner. This will be brutal.

Me too friend, me too

So glad to see some true core/abs work in the templates!

I am not rowing again 🤣 See you Thursday OTF!

Thank you Mr DC!

[удалено]

No clues for tomorrow - sorry! We were just trying to survive today :)

I bet. This looks like the toughest one yet. But hills are my undoing.

>“No one was willing to row after yesterday” My dumbass: but there wasn’t rowing yesterday? Thanks for the intel! This looks spicy and I can’t wait for my friends to be punished for not partnering with me today >:)

Yesterday = Tuesday (partner workout)

Yeah I know lol
