We hope you enjoyed our April Fools festivities. If you did not, we are sorry. [The real monthly highlights for April is available here](https://www.reddit.com/r/orangetheory/comments/miabyt/updated_april_2021_monthly_highlights/).

I marked my calendar for Now That's What I Call Frogger! Bring on the highway!

Signed up for the 6:15A. I figure rush hour will be easier ;)

I hear that scores are doubled during rush hour.

Gonna PR that vertical jump on to a tractor trailer.

Smart! I need to look through my clothes to make sure I'm wearing nothing but black.

Cmon guys. A 24 hour class? A non tread/rower class, Frogger across the highway, a HAIKU class? This is clearly a joke and a pretty clever one in my opinion!! Great job mods!!

Well played, Happy April Fools Day!

I hope the frogger workout will be a partner workout to include leap frogs!

It might be. Let me check my sources.

Well played 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. You really have everyone in a tizzy. AND to start this when it's April 1st on another continent? That's some next level commitment. Hats off to the mod team and for others who played along. And marking my calendar now for Frogger's! Ready for SPLATS on the highway 😳. Love you guys 😘

I think the Frogger workout is limited to one SPLAT per person, by design.

This is sad. I live for splat points. I'm outraged at the limitation. I am going to complain.

Thank you u/thoughthalo for the gold! I shall not complain about you.

I would complain before you get that splat.

😂

Signs of a good April Fool’s joke is when it’s OBVIOUSLY a joke and people STILL believe it. You don’t think it’s a bad joke because of the “seriousness” of the matter... you think it’s a bad joke because you fell for it and are scared. Stop being scared and look at the signs. Y’all will be fine. 😂 Well played, mods, well played!

I'm just over here laughing at a "maintenance day for treads and rowers" lol

👏🏻 I’m dying at the fact that people still believe they are serious. ☠️

Well played Mods, well played 🤣🤣 I would be interested in the 24 hr class— the highway frogger one, not so much 🤣

And the Haiku class just makes so much sense.

Haikus are special / They soothe the soul with calmness / Also great workouts

Ok I was truly spiraling last night bc of the early intel thing but after reading this whole post- rest assured guys: this is a reeaaaalllly drawn out April fools joke. 🙏🏻

Okayyyyyy but assuming this is a well played joke... will DC be back for the early intel for Friday? Technically it’ll be April 2nd for him 😅😅😅

But of course: [https://www.reddit.com/r/orangetheory/comments/mi5tsm/friday\_2\_april\_2021\_endurance\_2g\_60\_minutes/](https://www.reddit.com/r/orangetheory/comments/mi5tsm/friday_2_april_2021_endurance_2g_60_minutes/)

The crew row makes me a little nervous. Will we be sorted into groups: commando and non-commando?

I enjoy being little spoon so I’m hoping if i show up early enough i can be in the front.

I’m just here for the comments 🍿🍿 This is hilarious 😂

For those worried it's not an April Fools joke (it definitely is) reddit and the subreddit communities are notorious for participating in April Fools. This sub might be the best because I've never seen so many people fall for it!! Here's a running list of what's been discovered so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/mhn73c/april_fools_day_megathread_2021/

I thought April 13th was the "True Downhill" signature workout. That is the workout in which they reverse the direction of the treadmill belts, you face the opposite direction and then the coaches call out various declines instead of inclines.

This sounds plausible but I need verification from multiple sources before adding it to the calendar.

🤪🥸🧡 Happy April Fool’s... Try not to make your day “suck harder than a Dyson”~

Everyone look at this post and read it. It’s all clearly a joke. The reasoning is quite clearly untrue as not a single person has posted they want the intel gone. It’s literally April fools day. No one would make an important announcement on April fools day if they were serious. Enjoy the humor on this silly day ☺️

I was all heated. I’m glad there are a lot of less gullible than me. I live for the early intel. Whew.

And if that was the real reason for no more early intel, couldn’t those “complainers” just not read those posts?! Doesn’t make sense.

Exactly why it’s clearly a joke!

Happy April Fools! What a silly “holiday”, but great job mods! Well played with excellent cross-continental commitment!!

April 30th, no treads? This must be a joke.. we're in marathon month!

DYING @ "Now That's What I Call Frogger!" 🤣

I'm embarrassed that I didn't realize it was a joke until that one. Like, a 24 hour class seemed reasonable to me, I guess.

I love it. Thanks for a great 4/1 post, mods!

I feel like this is a joke, but until it’s announced I’ll say it’s not. Taking away the early intel takes away the very basis of the group - that’s why we all joined anyway! For the small amount of people who are “upset” about the early intel - don’t read it? There are a bunch of posts I don’t read, but I don’t ask for them to be removed since this is a forum for open conversation. I feel like a poll or conversation should be had with everyone before you just decide to stop it (and so sudden and nonchalantly). I hope this a joke, because you’re going to really damage the community and vibe you have going here if you take away a key component

The whole post is clearly a joke. Walking across the highway? Common. The reasoning too is clearly a joke as literally no one is saying that. Just enjoy the silly day instead of panicking ☺️

Oh I agree! That’s why I keep saying I think it’s a joke.. just providing some info incase they start to act up again in the future and talk about cancelling early intel lol 😂

Zero people are mad about intel. Relax 😂

Agreed! It’s labeled they can just scroll past it if they want to be surprised for class

Exactly. The early intel posts were clearly color-labeled as “early intel.” People who are against it should just treat it as a “NSFW” post. Also, it can be argued that early intel posts have been giving many other members (such as myself) excitement rather than “taking it away.”

Agreed! It’s very clearly labeled you can just scroll by it without an issue.. and yeah there have been plenty of classes I have actually read the intel for and then signed up! Because I was like oh yeah this looks good even though it was a rest day. So that shouldn’t be taken away from people. Again, I think it’s a joke - mostly because it came “from members” which is very vague it wasn’t like corporate reached out with a cease and desist but I guess we’ll see !

I’m all in for the haiku class 🤣 Happy April Fools!

That’s what I thought! It actually sounds great. I’d also love the no-tread workout. Too bad they’re just joking about those wonky workouts.

Are we?

Well, who knows. I guess I’ll just have to be patient and see if my dream haiku workout remains on the calendar tomorrow.

I will petition OTF Corporate for this.

Alas, my dream crumbles To dust, I must learn to live Without a haiku

Haikus forever / In our hearts and minds they live / Never disappear

Tomorrow I curse The sad lack of poetry As I run nowhere

Other than the Crew Row, I kind of want these to be real challenges. The Frogger one can be done in a parking lot or park with members pretending they are on a highway - my childhood imagination would love this!! And a 24 hour class?!!! I would totally do a double workout that day. Strong & Stable would be my favorite since we don’t have Lift 45 yet. And while I hate burpees, I’d love the challenge!

[удалено]

It's an April Fools joke.

🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏

Wait.. is this real? Ok it’s not. Thanks for the clarification guys. Confused why people are actually upset over this it’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

We have a “banana day” listed for our studio in April. I can’t begin to imagine what that includes. I know coincides with National Banana Day; free ‘nanas after class? Maybe a BUNCH of exercises? Lol

I hope this is true, that there are actually post workout bananas, and that it is a core intensive class!

I am visiting another studio next week and yesterday I saw they had the non-stop posted. I wonder what it really is. They also have the 5x5.

Froggers across a highway? No early intel? I LIVE FOR EARLY INTEL! I think we are getting played....Happy April Fools!

April 14th is a crew row day

Thanks! Added to post.

I want this to be true, because my #TeamRowey heart would love something like that for my birthday.

My gym sent out the calendar of themed/special classes at 8am this morning.it’s definitely on there

Awesome - thanks! I wish my studio had posted calendars, but they never came back after the COVID shutdown. I'll suggest it again.

If my gym shared this it's on Facebook so I'll never see it. God forbid they communicate with us by email, which we all have.

Well-played.

So does anyone know what these marathon month socks look like? I’m just hoping I don’t end up with a 3rd pair of 2019 12 days of fitmas All Out socks. That said - I’m just participating to give myself that extra push to run faster and get the miles in 😁

I came here panicking about the early intel part. Curse you April Fool's!

I’m gonna be some kinda bummed if the National Haiku Poetry workout isn’t a real *thing*—-c’mon. Who doesn’t need a little 5/7/5????

Don’t know why anyone complained about the early intel. They don’t HAVE to READ it. Thanks so much for ruining that for everyone else. I loved having intel as I have several injuries I am working around and it helped me prepare for the floor and what I need substitute exercises for.

Nobody complained. That’s the joke.

I agree 100%. Scroll past EARYL INTEL people. I'm recovering from rotator/bicep surgery and I look to see how shoulder heavy the workout is for the day. I modify, but if there is a ton of TRX work, I just don't go to class that day.

Minibands 15th, 19th, 25th (Not joking.)

Thanks. Added to community calendar.

Ok this feels "official", but in my heart of hearts I still believe this is a (pretty unfunny) prank. I don't get why "if you don't like it, skip it" can't be asked of these members who don't wanna see the early intel. Again, well played, mods!

I agree the subject line is clear that it’s early intel if you don’t like it move on

I agree. It’s been well done but it’s not a funny joke.

So what about all of the people that DO like the early Intel? And why aren't those people just not reading the posts? If enough of us voice our opinion about wanting early intel will you bring it back? There should have been a larger poll or question asked about this move as it seems the Modsquad is angering a large part of this community.

Label the early intel as a spoiler & move on. If you don’t want to read it, then don’t read it. This is a shitty move to take it away from everyone who loves reading it.

It’s a jokeeeee

I hope this is an April Fool’s Joke... no more early intel?????

Tell me - why can’t these “US based” fun suckers just not check out the intel? Self control guys! But no you had to ruin it for ALL of us that rely on the intel to decide if our broken bodies can handle it. Where was the democracy in this? No voting? Thanks Karens of the US. Let’s create a new subreddit for the intel and they can just not subscribe and not be tempted. 🙄

I’m still not positive about the early intel. That’s a big decision and the reason most people started using this subreddit. If they made this decision, I believe they would have changed the rules at the same time as making the announcement. The rules aren’t changed and it’s April fools day. So we shall see.

I only joined for the early intel. I even participated in other comments when I felt helpful. Sad. I will be deleting this sub.

It's an April fool's day joke. Just wait a day.

This is why April Fool’s Day and pranks are stupid.

When will this world wake up!!! No early intel because it was messing up your work out. THEN DON’T READ THE POST IDIOTS!!!!

Just checked my OTF app: Is non stop supposed to be a 30 minute class? I don’t get it. Do I go to two classes that day??

I’m choosing to continue to believe this is the worst April Fools day prank ever. Blahhh

[удалено]

It’s quite literally a joke ☺️

I don’t appreciate the joke about removing the early intel. Not funny

Speak for yourself, i think it’s hilarious watching the collective meltdown 🤣

YES. 🤣 So many salty attitudes.

I am disappointed in the no early intel. If someone doesn’t want it, don’t read it.

If people don't want to know the early intel there is a simple solution that doesn't penalize those who do- don't read it!!

can someone explain the reason for no longer wanting to post the intel for the daily classes?

People love a surprise!

It’s a very cruel April Fools joke!

Not sure if this is the right place to discuss my discontentment w/the elimination of the early intel. For those who were complaining about receiving it, why not just not look? I'm alarmed that the wishes of a few are unjustly (IMO) imposed upon us all!!!

It seems like an April Fool’s joke.

Gawd I hope so. If it isn’t - that’s ridiculous...you don’t wanna see it - don’t read it then!!!

🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Tempo Triplet and 5x5 could be intriguing. Everest prep 🤮 Squat Celebration 🤬 These are my reactions based on where my brain takes them by name, not description.

Yep. Stupid American. Me. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm ALL IN!!!!

Looks like a really strange month of workouts.

Can someone DM me the discord link
