What is OTA week?
O.T.A stands for Orientation, Testing, and Assessments. OTA week is a free week for new and current ORT athletes that occurs every 4 weeks. It involves endurance, speed, agility, strength, and power testing as well as optional body fat and body weight testing in our indoor and outdoor facilities. OTAs last for one week to accommodate busy schedules.
Why 6 week training cycles?
We implement a scaled down periodization schedule because it takes at LEAST 6-8 weeks for the neuromuscular, and muscular system adaptation process to take place. Speed, agility, speed specific strength and power are very complex skills that takes time to develop and enhance. Periodized training minimizes injury as well as maximizes results and performance. Plus progressive implementation better reinforces a lifestyle change.
I’m not a fast runner, why do I need speed training?
You don’t need to be fast to benefit from speed training. Speed training is used to enhance almost every sport and is also a great way to overcome weight loss and performance plateaus. We use speed and performance training methods as a means to develop and enhance fitness.
Is the Speed & Performance Group a boot camp?
Boot Camps, Cross-fit, and other cross-training groups are great, but they implement random exercises to achieve fitness. We specialize in Speed & Performance and use it as a means to achieve and enhance fitness. Our exercises aren’t random, every movement you do in our training group is with the specific purpose of developing and improving Speed and Performance. If you’re a true beginner we highly suggest personal training and boot camps to get you going!

- Low/zero sugar recovery drink.
- Sports watch with chronograph and back-light.
- Weight training gloves and exercise mat.

ORT is more appropriate for novice-advanced participants, someone who can complete a mile within 10 minutes or less. Our coaches provide one-on-one training for true beginners or anyone else seeking individualized training.
