A great place with friendly staff and a clean environment. Lots of class times and options. A little pricey, but worth it if you need someone to create a workout plan and schedule for you. I did not sign up, but did enjoy the free class that was offered. The class' coach was Fergie and he was great!

The absolute lack of professionalism and customer service skills from the studio manager here was astonishing. I tried coming into a class past the 5 min window of it starting knowing that there was a chance I wouldn’t be let in. Other studios will be nice enough to let you in still if you’re a couple minutes past. His tone and rudeness in telling me I was WAY over the 5 min window (when it was only 2 mins past the 5 min window) was dramatic, catty, and unprofessional for someone who is supposed to be the manager. It’s not what you say but how you say it. Beware of this studio and the people who work here

OTF is a great workout program that I suggest many to do. The workout theory itself has many health benefits. I have been a member for a while, so this review is based on this location. Here are my pros, cons, and suggestions: Pros- -Located in a shopping center=more parking -Offers classes at varied times even throughout the day -nice/clean/large facility -For the most part great coaches/staff with the exception of one or two -Inter generational (nice to see examples of various ages working towards their fitness goals) Cons- -Waitlists are too long. I overheard that people from DC come to this location because of the pro’s above making the list longer for people who are nearby. -“Community” vibe (though they have made some initiatives towards this) Suggestions- -For new members, have an orientation group class or 1-1 with Coach where they learn each station as opposed to being thrown in/15 minute brief overview before 1st class -More classes that are solely focused on individual stations -freeze cycle is pathetic

I have been to this studio a couple of times when I am visiting from out of town. It's probably one of the nicest studio that I have visited, and I have been to more than 10 different ones. It's extremely difficult to get off the waitlist and the waitlists are long. My one star is due to a recent incident. I was on the waitlist of a Sunday 8:15 class. I received a text at 6:53am that morning to let me know that I am off their waitlist. Wait, what?! I already am going to Lake Barcroft since I didn't know I would get off of Bradlee's waitlist. I took myself off the class to give someone else the opportunity to go. A week later, I received a text from Bradlee stating that the credit card on file got denied for the late cancellation fee and I need to call to update my credit card. I was confused because why should I get charged for a class that I automatically got into less than 2 hours before it started? After exchanging a few texts with the studio, it appeared that Bradlee had sent me an automated email the night prior around 7pm to let me know that I am off the waitlist. I confirmed the email address on file is correct, searched through my inbox, trash and junk and did not find it. I even searched for "Guess What?" in my emails, as suggested by Bradlee. Nothing. I called to give them my credit card number and explained my situation and how displeased I am with how everything transpired. Even though I did not receive the email, it is their cancellation policy and they went ahead and charged my card. So please, if you are on their waitlist, make sure you check more than 8 hours beforehand to make sure you didn't automatically get into the class! Don't depend on their email making it to your inbox. Oh, and the text I received the morning of was just a courtesy so don't expect to get a text either. Bradlee - Take a note from Lake Barcroft and let members have 2 hours to respond whether they want to accept the waitlist spot and if the member doesn't respond, automatically put them in the back of the waiting list.
