“I knew I wanted to get back to the gym again, but arthritis in my hands, back and feet was making me put it off. Kim Forsten at Old Town Athletic Club suggested Pilates with Chris. Taking her advice was the best decision I could have made. In spite of my apprehension, the stretching, core training and full range of motion have made me feel stronger. All of my blood numbers are better too, because of the lifestyle changes. ‘Manlates’ (man Pilates) is what I jokingly call it. Chris is the best in bringing out the best in you… at any age.”

“It really doesn’t matter what group fitness class it is – Body Pump, Body Vive, Body Attack, Step, Body Flow, Zumba or Get Strong…whatever is offered, I want to be a part of it! Knowing that there will be people of all fitness levels taking part in these classes is my motivation to participate. Challenging myself to work to my highest level is made possible when I am part of a group of people who are working to achieve their best level, too. Group fitness is the place where I can work as an individual but also feel part of a team!”

-Peggy R.

“The group fitness program at OTAC is top of the line, no question. Every day there are so many different class choices. There is no way to get bored with your workout. The many class options also make for a tremendous opportunity for cross training which is great for overall fitness. The instructors are all knowledgeable and professional. They make the classes fun and do an awesome job to motivate everyone! The people I have met and friends I have made at OTAC are priceless to me! A wonderful added plus to having a great place to work out, I have wonderful people to work out with! We are a family at OTAC, and I love it there!”

-Tammy B.

”Pilates keeps me doing all the things I love to do. Without the flexibility, strength, and balance work I get during each Pilates session I wouldn’t be able to continue in my profession as an equine veterinarian, continue to compete in horse shows, continue to do all the physical activities I enjoy so much. I am going to do Pilates as long as I can.”

-Helen P.

“Body Pump and Spin classes at OTAC are such a huge, important part of my life. I love the instructors and my fellow participants…but most of all, I love what Group Fitness at OTAC does for me!”

-Robin F.

“Missing a single spin class at OTAC throws my entire week. It’s an integral part of my overall well-being and one of my greatest pleasures.”

-Sandra H.

“I enjoy working out in a group setting, so Group Fitness is my favorite part of coming to the gym. Spin, Body Pump, Body Attack and Body Vive are my favorites. The instructors are great. They share advice on form and motivate me to work hard. As a bonus, I have made new friends and that makes it fun. Remember to use the app for times and to see who’s teaching.”

-Cathy S.

“OTAC’s group classes rock. The instructors are super friendly, encouraging, and motivating. They almost always provide modifications to the routine for those with physical limitations or those just having a “slow” day.”

-Sarah S.

“I love taking classes at OTAC because people are happy to be there. Even on a bad day, if I can just get to the gym I know my mood will change because of the great energy I’m surrounded by!”

-Tammy P.

“Two years ago, I was introduced to the Youth Semi-Private Weight Training. After a couple weeks of going several times a week, I was lifting way heavier than what I had started with, and I could already see changes in my arms and legs. My trainers are amazing. I didn’t think things could get any better until one recommended me to the Parisi classes. I gained speed and agility that helped me go so much farther in the sport I love, all with the help of the encouraging trainers pushing me to get better. Old Town Athletic Club is a place to laugh and smile. I definitely cannot see myself ever leaving.”

-Larisa B.

“With 3 children under the age of 5 and a part-time job, my life is often wonderfully busy, chaotic and noisy. Warrenton Yoga provides me the calm escape that centers me and allows me to be handle my everyday stresses. The knowledgeable, encouraging staff (all with their own unique styles) have supported me in my recovery, both physically and mentally, from having a new baby. Other forms of exercise have addressed my physical needs, but nothing has pushed my limits in a way that reduces wear and tear rather than causing it. Being a member of Warrenton Yoga has not only improved my strength and flexibility, but it has also enhanced my daily existence by leaving me mentally and emotionally refreshed.”

-Kate M.

“I’m very new to yoga, but in 5 weeks of attending classes regularly, I’m totally hooked. The immediate effects of yoga not only physically, but mentally, are undeniable. Each class is an opportunity to mentally reset, breathe and take that hour for yourself. Yoga has been far more physically challenging than I ever expected. My stability, balance, and strength have improved weekly, and I love that instant gratification. I can’t say enough positive things about the benefits of yoga, Warrenton Yoga, and the amazing instructors.”

-Shelley A.

“Cole is a great trainer. He has helped me get back on the right track of taking care of myself. I really love the way he has a different list of workouts for me to do each session. He pushes me without it seeming like he’s doing so, showing me that I can do things I never thought I was capable of doing. I look forward to each week’s adventure. Thank you so much for helping me!!!”

-Sharon C.

“I’ve been participating in Semi-Private and Small Group training since March and feel more alive than ever! I have less pain in my joints and more energy to play with my grandchildren. This program delivers experienced trainers, a variety of specialized classes and, most importantly, results. Old Town Athletic Club is the best health club I’ve ever joined.”

-Barbara L.

“I have tried all kinds of gyms—small ones, big ones but none really felt right until I started at OTAC. Everyone is friendly, clean atmosphere and I’m down 50 lbs. The instructors are amazing and encouraging! Thanks!”

-Jackie K.

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you and Mike for your Speed School! The classes have made such an improvement in Jess’s performance in football this season that his team went to the Division Championship! Although his team didn’t win, they were able to keep an undefeated team from scoring all but one touchdown in the first half! The final score was 20-6, but I tell you, Jess had sacked the untouchable quarterback in the backfield and single-handedly stopped an extra point. Jess pulled 9 sacks and 40 assisted tackles this season! All of his quickness, agility and focus is because of what you all STARTED to teach him! I am so excited to see what more you have in store for him. This is the best athletic performance investment I’ve made for Jess! I can’t thank you enough for this program!”

“Like everything I do in life, I review, define and implement the project…. It was until the well rounded small group Pilates and Yoga training was I able to work COMPLETELY on the Best Project in my life – ME…. I live to make even the hardest workout be my future warm up and OTAC helps me achieve and maintain these goals…..”

-Gretchen Y.

“My workouts are a priority. I build my daily schedule around the great start I get at OTAC. One of my favorite things about OTAC is that it’s a happy place! Happy staff and happy clients! I’m not always sunny and cheerful at 6am, but, being around the trainers and other clients always picks me up and gets my day off to a great start. I’m so glad I upgraded my membership. Semi-private and small group training are transforming my life by helping me to be all I can be. Thank you Russell, Katie, Nick, Cole and Shawn and thank you OTAC!”

-Cathy H.

“My fitness journey hasn’t been easy. After taking 6 months off of the gym, it seemed almost impossible to start back up again. I decided to join OTAC because I was looking for a gym that cared, not one where I was on my own. I soon learned that I made the right decision. Every trainer I have worked with so far has been motivation to keep going, even when I wasn’t seeing results on the scale. The small group classes are my favorites, but I enjoy a number of the group fitness classes as well. I’ve learned that results are not always scale based, but to appreciate how the hard work I have put in is changing my body for the better. I look better, I feel better, I can see a difference in my cardio ability and recovery time, and I couldn’t do it without the help of the whole OTAC family.”

-Keri C.

“I never liked going to the gym. Laziness would be the first reason that comes to mind, followed by lack of motivation. Then I became a member of Old Town Athletic Club, and after taking advantage of the wide variety of nearly everything OTAC has to offer, I cannot get enough of it. Because of OTAC, going to the gym has become a part of my lifestyle, and I have never felt better.”
-Ashley T.
