Welcome to CrossFit OTL.

1. Get the app and book your week

   Bookings, your workout history and your scores all live in the CrossFit OTL app. Book your whole first week now. Deciding in the morning is how the 5 AM stops happening.

   Can't make it? Cancel in the app so someone else gets the spot.

2. Turn on Social notifications

   In the app's Social tab: announcements, events, member shoutouts and the day-to-day conversation.

3. Follow @crossfitotl

   Events, workouts, PRs and member milestones, including yours. Open Instagram

4. Get your free InBody scan

   A coach walks you through your water, lean mass and body fat, and why lean mass drives your metabolism. Didn't get it at your consultation? Ask, and do it before anything changes. What an InBody scan shows

5. Find the AED and our address

   The AED is on the wall by the water fountains. Our address is posted inside the front door and at eye level on the back door. Why it matters

6. Pick your days and show up

   Put them on the calendar and treat them like work. Nothing matters as much as your next sixty days of attendance, so come on the days you don't feel like it. Especially those days.

Your first class

• Arrive 10 minutes early for your first few.
• Tell your coach about injuries before class, not after: old surgeries, bad shoulders, pregnancy, a rough night of sleep.
• Every workout has three tracks: Beginner, Intermediate and RX. Not sure which is yours? Ask in the briefing.

A member once went down on this floor with a heart attack. The people around him did the right things, but nobody could tell the 911 dispatcher where they were. Read this once, today.

Our address. Say it to the dispatcher.

9155 Blvd 26, Suite 270
North Richland Hills, TX 76180

A dispatcher can't send anyone until they have an address. It's posted inside the front door and at eye level on the back door. The back one matters on running days and whenever class works outside.

The AED is by the water fountains

It's on the wall. Once it's open it talks you through every step out loud. You don't need training to use it, and using it early is what saves people.

If someone goes down

Don't freeze and don't crowd. Three jobs, assigned out loud:

1. Someone calls 911 and gives the address.
2. Someone gets the AED from the water fountains.
3. Someone goes outside to flag the ambulance and walk them in.

Your coach runs the scene. If you're not doing one of the three jobs, clear the space and keep the floor open.

For anything smaller (a torn hand, a scrape, a bad shin), ask your coach for the first aid kit. Don't dig for it and don't tough it out.

Point out the AED and the door address to the next new person who walks in. That's how it gets known, member to member.

Book every class in the app. Classes fill, so book ahead.

CrossFit OTL class times

Mon to Thu	5, 6, 7 and 8:30 AM 12, 4, 5 and 6 PM
Friday	5, 6, 7 and 8:30 AM 12 and 4 PM (the last class of the week)
Saturday	8:30 AM, partner workouts and community day
Kids	Tuesday and Thursday, 4 PM
Teens	Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 5 PM

Teens train in the same hour as the 5 PM adult class, on the other side of the floor. Kids have their own class on Tuesday and Thursday at 4 PM.

Be on time

• Classes start and finish on time because the next class is waiting. Be on the floor and ready at the top of the hour.
• Late? You've missed the warm-up. Find the coach before you jump in.
• Your photo is on file in the app, so every coach knows who you are before you walk in.

Sixty minutes, five parts, every time.

1. Briefing. The workout, what it should feel like, the target, and how each track scales.
2. General warm-up. Heart rate and temperature up, joints through full range.
3. Specific warm-up. The day's movements at light load. Your coach sets your weight and scaling and fixes technique.
4. Workout. Conditioning or a Heavy Day. Your coach corrects positions, adjusts loads and holds the pace.
5. Cool-down. Recovery, announcements and tomorrow's preview.

"What if I'm last?"

Someone is. The class stays with you, and nothing gets put away until everyone finishes and the coach says so.

"What if I can't do a movement?"

Then you do the version you can do. That's what scaling is, and your coach will hand it to you before you have to ask.

"Do I need to be fit first?"

No. That's like showering before the shower. Come as you are and we'll start there.

"What's a Heavy Day?"

Some days the strength work is the whole workout, with no conditioning after it. That's on purpose. Cramming a lift in before a metcon every day trains a rushed version of strength with one eye on the clock. Heavy Days give you room to build strength and power.

1. Arrive early and be prepared. Come a little early and ready for class.
2. Ask questions. Coaches are here to teach and keep you safe.
3. Wait to clean up. Wait until everyone finishes. Your coach calls it.
4. Respect the equipment. Coach supervised or approved. No kids on the floor unless in kids class.
5. Count accurately. Full movements. Quality over speed.
6. Handle barbells properly. Don't drop empty bars, or bars with change or 10 lb plates.
7. Clean equipment. Wipe down sweaty or bloody equipment after use.
8. Be honest about abilities. Work with your coach to find your limits.
9. Focus on progress. Aim for daily improvement, not perfection.
10. Reserve classes. Book your spot ahead in the app.
11. No headphones during class. No AirPods or headphones, including running day.

Safety, respect for the space, and not making the next class worse.

1. Class has priority, 100%: floor, equipment and coach. Development Time works around class, never the reverse.
2. Wait for the coach's call before putting anything away, even if you finished first. Then strip bars and rack plates by size.
3. Clean up blood right away (bar, box or floor). Wipe down sweat and chalk for the next person.
4. Chalk stays over the bucket, not the rubber floor.
5. Never drop an empty barbell, a kettlebell, a dumbbell, a bar with only 10 lb plates, or change plates (the small rubber-coated metal ones, which only go on a bar with a larger rubber plate). Can't set it down under control? It's too heavy today.
6. Log every score, RX, Intermediate or Beginner. Untracked training is a guess.
7. Kids stay on the brown wood floor, never the black rubber, except at family-friendly sessions. We're not childcare: parents are responsible for their kids.
8. Tell your coach about injuries before class, not after.
9. Stay for the cool-down. It's when you hear announcements and tomorrow's preview.
10. Cheer for the last person. Non-negotiable. They're working harder than anyone still standing.

People quit at predictable moments. None of them mean the training isn't working. Know them when they show up.

Week 1: Soreness

Sore in places you didn't know existed. The most common week to quit. It passes, and coming back sore helps more than resting.

Week 4: Ego

Someone you didn't expect (a grandmother, someone half your size) out-lifts you. They just started before you did.

Week 4: Impatience

Thirty days won't show it, and the scale is slow and unreliable. Track lifts, reps and InBody. Those move first. An InBody scan shows the muscle you gained even when the scale doesn't budge. What an InBody scan shows

Month 3: The fade

Ten classes, then five, then none, and you never decided to quit. What helps: having regular class days. It's not required, and you're welcome at any class, but a routine makes it easier to keep coming.

Make it past three months and the odds turn: six months becomes likely, a year becomes probable. Everything we do in your first 90 days is aimed at getting you there.

The Committed Club

Come to 15 or more classes in a month and the app puts you in that month's Committed Club, with that month's sticker. Keep it going and gear comes at 12 months, 24 months and beyond.

Why we track it

Fifteen classes a month is the best predictor we have of two things: who is rooted in this community, and who is going to set PRs and measurably improve their fitness and health. It's not a guarantee, but the people in the club month after month are the ones whose lives change.

The other thing that happens: if you're open to it, you'll make real friends here. Isabel and Clay met on this floor. Other members have stood in each other's weddings.

Group class is the backbone. Everything else gets you into it well, or further once you're in.

On-Ramp

Three one-on-one sessions with a coach, not a group class. They cover the fundamental movements, how we scale, the vocabulary, and what intensity should feel like.

Group class: Unlimited or 12 sessions

Coach-led, every session scaled three ways. This is where the work happens and where the community lives. Pick Unlimited, or the 12-session plan if you train a set number of days a week. Ask a coach which fits your week.

Lifestyle Reset: 12 weeks

What we recommend to most people who walk in wanting a change rather than a gym membership.

• 3 On-Ramp sessions in week one, then 9 more private sessions across the remaining weeks: 12 total, about one a week
• Unlimited group classes throughout
• 4 InBody scans, one every four weeks
• A nutrition consultation, plus ongoing coaching and accountability through our tracking app

Development Time (included with Unlimited)

Time for your own strength and skill work, fitted around whatever class is in session. It is not open gym, and class always has priority.

Personal training (one-on-one)

For a specific goal, a specific lift, or a return from injury. On its own or alongside group class.

Nutrition coaching

Habit tracking with regular check-ins with a coach. Training is one hour a day. Nutrition covers the other 23.

InBody scan

A coach walks you through your water, lean mass and body fat, and why lean mass drives your metabolism. After your free first scan it's $35, and it's open to anyone. What an InBody scan shows

Fuel, gear, guests, and the admin stuff.

Fuel

Up front we stock Thorne supplements, protein, collagen, creatine, LMNT and Proletas protein ice cream bars. You also get our full Thorne online dispensary.

Gear

OTL merch is in the Shop tab of the app. We also partner with apparel and gear providers for shoes, grips, belts and the rest. Ask a coach before you buy. Some of it you don't need yet.

Bring a friend

On Bring a Friend days, have your guest sign the waiver before class so they walk straight onto the floor.

Recovery and care

We partner with local physical therapy, chiropractic and recovery providers. If something hurts, or you want to get ahead of it, ask any coach or staff member for a referral to people we know.

A letter from the Jaime family

We started in a garage: four or five women training in a driveway with a set of barbells, some rubber floor and a pull-up rig. The homeschool boys came at 9 AM, the kids at 4 PM. In February 2022 we opened on Blvd 26, and thirty of those garage people came with us.

We're a family business in the plainest sense. Isabel and her husband Clay coach here. Nicholas and his wife Ava coach here. Deanie's twin sister Lamar coaches here. We built this gym around our own kids' futures, and we run it the way we'd want a gym run for our family, because it is one.

What we ask of you

Show up, ask questions, and tell your coach the truth about your history, your injuries, your sleep and what you ate. We can work with anything you tell us. We can't work with what you hide.

What we owe you

A coach who knows your name and your goal before you walk in, programming that scales to where you are today, and an honest answer every time you ask for one.

So what's on the line?

Your health. Your freedom. Your energy. The years you get. Whether your kids grow up watching this or not. Your family. Everything.

Let's get to work. Javier and Deanie, Isabel and Clay, Nicholas and Ava.

Why we exist

Javier found CrossFit in 2012 and it changed him. Then Deanie. Then Isabel and Nicholas, then the neighbors training in their garage. This gym exists because that kept going, and you're the next person in it.

What does the changing is ordinary and repeatable: squatting, picking things up, pressing overhead, carrying, running. Done well, at an intensity that's right for you, and repeated until your body adapts. Every workout scales. A 62-year-old grandmother and a former college athlete do the same workout in the same hour, with different loads, reps and movements.

What you can expect from us

• A credentialed coach on the floor every class. All eleven of our coaches hold a CrossFit Level 1 or higher, seven hold a Level 2 or above, and one is a Certified CrossFit Trainer (CF-L3).
• CrossFit Affiliate Programming, with Beginner, Intermediate and RX tracks in every session.
• The whole picture: training, nutrition, sleep and consistency. We coach all of them.
• Progress you can check: InBody scans, benchmark workouts, and lifting numbers you can pull up from six months ago.
• A room where your family belongs. Kids and teens train while adults train, year-round.

What we won't do

We won't promise quick results. We won't compete with a big-box gym on price, because it isn't the same product. And we won't tell you this is easy, because it isn't.

What is CrossFit?

• Constantly varied. The workout changes every day on purpose. Your body adapts to what it can predict, so we don't let it. We train broad readiness, not one narrow specialty.
• Functional movements. Moving large loads long distances, quickly, the way life asks you to: stand up, pick it up, put it overhead, carry it somewhere.
• High intensity. Relative to you, and it's where results come from. Your intensity on day one and day four hundred are different numbers doing the same job.

The goal is work capacity across broad time and modal domains: being good at short and long efforts, at lifting, gymnastics and cardio. Life doesn't tell you in advance what it's going to ask for.

Learn it yourself

We'll answer any question, any time. But members who understand why we program the way we do train better for it.

• The CrossFit Level 1 Training Guide. The actual textbook, free to download at crossfit.com: mechanics, the nine foundational movements, nutrition, programming and scaling. Few members read it. The ones who do train differently afterward.
• The CrossFit Journal. The archive of foundational articles, including "What Is Fitness?" (2002): the ten general physical skills, the three metabolic pathways, and the sickness-to-fitness continuum this gym is built on.
• crossfit.com and the CrossFit YouTube channel. Daily programming, movement standards and demo videos for every lift and skill we run. A good way to review a movement the night before.
• Take the Level 1 course. You don't have to want to coach. Some of our strongest members took it just to understand the why. Talk to Javier or any of the staff. Every one of us has been through it and will tell you honestly whether it's worth your weekend.
