    Hey YouTube world, this is your coach Vinny here. Thank you EVERYONE for all your kind, encouraging words. I just got done talking with my wife about how all of these positive vibes being sent my way are going to make me a better person, and as a biproduct a better OTF coach for all of you. Words genuinely can't describe the literal feeling inside of me when I read these loving comments. And a special thank you to Andrew Coleman Smith! I contacted him after watching his inspiring videos and he immediately got back to me. Without hesitation he trusted to come take class with a trainer he'd never met and for someone who is a self-described introvert I think that in itself is phenomenal. Andrew and I scratched the surface of synergy (the interaction of two or more energies to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects). The key here is '2 or MORE!' If we ALL come together with positive mind sets and intention we'll change the world!! ALL of us! Love you guys!! ❤ Side note: My Facebook settings were private but I JUST changed them. I apologize, I know nothing about social media lol. If you tried to find me to send a message you should be able to now- I think. Thanks again for all the love!
  • @xoCaboLo
    So funny this just popped up in my feed after 3 years. I still love watching you do videos! You are the BEST!
  • Lol my question was so long😂 Thank you for asking!! I appreciate you asking and the advice!! And update!! I was able to make it through a workout WITHOUT nausea and I have been able to increase my intensity more because I'm adjusting to it lol
  • @jenhalbert1549
    Thank you Vinny for taking the time to answer all the questions. You truly represent what I believe OTF is all about.
  • @peculiarporter
    I love the stories of your classmates! I started a month ago and absolutely love it!
  • @danaruby5021
    It was so cool finding your channel! I work at one of the main orangetheorys in toronto and it definitely is a life changer. Ive seen so many of our clients with awesome results . Not just in their body but even their personality as well. Their energy levels have changed, their diet is cleaner, their skin and hair are glowing and just wonderful seeing that. You have such a perfect personality for this and im so glad youre basically promoting it. You make me want to do the same !!
  • @mfgentry215
    Thank you for this interview! I found your channel when I was struggling with HUGE anxiety to use a certificate for two free weeks at OTF that I won at a silent auction, and your videos were a major game changer for me! After those two weeks, I ended up joining at the 8 classes a month level because I loved the results that I saw. I previously went to barre3 5 days a week, so now doing both barre3 AND Orangetheory is the perfect combination. Please keep sharing your amazing videos because they are so inspiring! Thank you for all you do!
  • @chelseab9940
    You inspired me to do my first OTF class and I am OBSESSED now. 💕 Love you!
  • @fancy1348
    I’m 48 years old. I’ve been doing OTF twice a week since June 2017. I ❤️it!!
  • Great video. I’m definitely down for watching more of these coach interviews!
  • @alexismbaptiste
    Omg...this is amazing! Especially the part where you guys discussed lower splat points after having higher ones. I have been experiencing that lately and feeling so frustrated. My heart rate decreases super fast during the recovery period and it’s even harder to get my heart rate back up into the orange zone. Thanks for doing this, Andrew! P.s. you encouraged me to go on this OTF journey and I have to say, even though I’m frustrated with my splat points, I’m already addicted to it.
  • @iRodeoqueen
    I’ve been watching your videos and today I decided to try my first orangetheory class and loved it!!! Thank you for being an inspiration
  • @edaycock6255
    Great inspiration! I’ll celebrate my 59th birthday in a month, and love it when I’m the “splat” leader on the board at Orangetheory.
  • @juliebihn3992
    I"m literally tearing up watching this. I need a Coach Vinny in my life...
  • Absolutely love this! It's so refreshing to hear an orangetheory coach who's been through a significant weight loss. Ive been big my whole life (heaviest 340lbs) and have recently began my SECOND weight loss transformation (lost over 100 pounds in high school and gained it back). This gives me more motivation and reassurance that I'm on the right path this time and I've actually decided to get my certifications and hopefully be an OTF coach soon!! Excited to watch more of your videos, keep grinding brother!
  • Thanks to you, I went to my first OTF class this week!! Thank you for these inspirational and honest videos!!
  • @02mariaa
    This guy is amazing to listen to!
  • @Megan-ht7ud
    Andrew! I saw one of your videos almost a month ago and decided to try Orange Theory and I love it!!! Thank you for inspiring me :)
  • @clg01
    Thank you for this video and the questions answered. Really gave me a lot of info prior to my first visit to Orangetheory Fitness! I"m so excited!
