Craig Oldiges, a coach at our Norman studio AND a member of the high-performance rowing team (on his journey to Olympic trials) was kind enough to give us some rowing tips from a professional on how to get the most out of our rowing!

Craig shared that the 3 most important parts of rowing:
🍊 Hip movement: Hinge at the hips I’m sure we’ve all heard about keeping a straight back while rowing this can be true but only if it’s comfortable. Craig explained, “More important than keeping your back straight is making sure you are hinging at the hips and then if your upper back curves a little in that position and that’s comfortable that’s perfectly fine! As long as you are hinging at the hips this will take pressure off the back.”
🍊 Drive Sequence: Accelerate all the way through, not just in the legs and then let power fall after that drive back. Should be a 1 second drive back and 2 count recovery. Important to have power throughout the sequence. Craig shared, “Sometimes you have to slow down to get faster. It’s all about form and getting used to it. Rowing isn’t something you can master but rather something you keep getting better and better at. So, when you are on the rower getting ready, start with a low intensity low stroke rate, get use to the form and the acceleration through the drive and hold that as the rate comes up and that is what will help you see those higher watts and lower 500m/splits.”
🍊 Foot/Body placement: We have all heard to set up your feet with the strap around the widest part of your feet – Craig shared a bit of a different tip on this. “All bodies are different and because of this the placements of your feet and where the strap should go will differ from person to person. This all goes back to hinging at the hips and finding a position for your body and feet that works comfortably with the hip hinge.”

Thank you, Craig! If you’re interested in learning more about rowing, you can reach out directly to Craig

The best way to spend your birthday is with your Orangetheory family!! Happy Birthday Kierra!! 🍊🎉

It's a new month, new goals, new intentions, new results. The only April Fools joke today is you saying you're too busy to get your workout in 🤪

See you in the studio! Let's start this month strong together 💪🏼

Let's reclaim today for a better tomorrow. This April, join us in class as we partner with for the second time this year to celebrate . Care for ourselves now and protect the futures of everyone we care about too.

From your OTF bestie to the person outside your studio who always keeps you motivated, tag someone in your life you think deserves a special mention. Seeing how they inspire you will motivate them to move more for themselves too. ⬇️

We want to share the incredible story of one of our beloved members at Orangetheory Tucson Foothills, Christina Shippy!

Christina was struggling with her heart rate while she was in class and could not figure out why she was constantly in the red even when she was just on the weight floor. Finally, one of our coaches after seeing the monitor on the screen, recommended that Christina go and see her doctor. Turns out she has Hypertension and her doctor told her she never would have known if it wasn't for our heart rate monitor system, and that OT likely saved her life.

We're so happy to have you as part of our family, Christina! Celebrating you and your health 🧡

This is us cheering you on to get in the studio today for that midweek workout 💪🏼

You're one workout away from feeling energized and ready to conquer the rest of the week 🧡

6:15 Birthday Burn this morning with Coach Olivia!!

Happy Birthday Jesse!🎉

Push yourself because no one else is going to do it for you! 🍊👊

Michael crushed the Transformation Challenge and is 💯 winning at life. He took control of his own health. Gained more confidence. More motivation. And behind it all? Just LOOK at this little one! “All my life I have wanted to find something that makes me happy, healthy and strong and I have found that with OTF. The birth of my first daughter and realizing I wanted to be present and active for her was my initial motivation — being able to set a good example for her and be able to keep up with her — and the momentum I’ve built has turned into a passion to keep going both for me and for her and the rest of my family.” Wow. Just wow. There’s so much to unpack mentally when you reinvent your body — anyone who’s done it will tell you. But here’s the thing too: In a society where work and parenthood and life often take precedence over “me time,” you showed up for YOU. For your family. And that has made a life-changing difference.

This Saturday, we went . Now, let’s make even MORE dreams happen. Tag your studio if you’d like himself to go All Out with you for the next one happening April 16th! 💪🏼 🍊

We love celebrating our members accomplishments as a family!!

Congratulations to Miss Marinda on 500 classes! 🍊🧡
