So this really annoyed me today, but I'm not sure if it is just me. I'm considering saying something to the person in charge at the studio, but I'm not sure.
I've been going to OrangeTheory fitness since Halloween and I really like it. The setup is you book a 1 hour class 2-4x a week. If you cancel within 12 hours of the class, you lose the $$. You have to book in advance, which is pretty difficult with DH's schedule since we never know when his day off will be more than a few days (or not til the day before on this stupid rotation) or if he will be home early enough to relieve the nanny. So I have to plan very carefully when I go. Morning classes are almost never an option because they book so quickly and DH leaves so early.
I am doing their weigh loss challenge, which requires going to class 3X week. Normally you can go to any OrangeTheory Studio, but not for classes that count for the challenge. This past week has been awful for DH and I had to go today or I wouldn't qualify for the challenge anymore. I had get up stupid early to do something for work and had stuff going on this evening, so I decided to leave work early and go to the 4:30 class.
My meeting from 3:30-4 went over and I got out of there and tore across the city to get to the studio. They have a late policy where you cannot join the class if you arrive after x time. I got there late, but with a few minutes to spare. I asked if I could still join and the girl at the desk said, "Yes, you have two minutes before I cant let you in." I was in my work clothes and went to the restroom to change and she said, "Hurry you only have two minutes." Then it hit me that the woman wasn't going to let me in the damn class if I couldn't change in under 2 minutes. So I changed like a mad person (I wasn't moseying before either--I hate being late too!) and when I came out, she said, "You have 30 seconds to spare." I am NOT habitually late (usually pretty early) and I respect a late policy, but I feel like this was really over the line. She was seriously timing me and wasn't going to let me in if I wasn't fast enough. There is no more negative impact to me joining at 10 min 15 seconds vs 9 min 30 seconds late. I was obviously flustered and trying to make it there and it just ruined the whole workout for me.
I'm thinking of saying something because it really frustrated me (and was a little humiliating) and turns me off to the business. Or was I just in the wrong and shouldn't say anything?
