Meet the Business Owner

Courtney W.

Business Owner

Courtney began using kettlebells in 2011 after she was tired of the hustle and bustle of going to big box gyms and not seeing any results. She’s always been active playing soccer and running her whole life, but as the years went on it seemed to get harder and harder to stay in shape. A great friend of hers told her about his kettlebell gym he owned in San Diego, CA (which is where she’s from) and she thought, what in the world are kettlebells? She was down for the challenge. WELL, let me tell you! After taking just 3 classes Courtney was HOOKED! She had never in her life had a type of workout that was a full body from head to toes cardio /​weight lifting combined all into a 45min class.

After 7 weeks she had lost 7 inches of body fat and was stronger than ever. After three short months, she was so excited about this amazing tool that she went and got certified to be able to share this with everyone and anyone.

I’m glad I found this place via Groupon. The class length and sizes are perfect for me. Courtney and Ryan are great trainers — they push you to challenge yourself without going overboard. I like that the classes are unlimited, too.

I love this place! I am new to kettle bells and decided to try it out. I just had my first class this past week and I’m hooked! It targets muscles that are hard to get to– for me the hamstrings. The workouts are challenging, yet you can make them fit with your individual fitness level. They are big on form here and take the time to help you get the movements down. I’m really excited I found something which I enjoy and is also an efficient workout.

I was in town on business for a couple weeks so I decided to try out OTG. I did the 21 day trial for $ 67. What a great deal since I go 5x/​wk. I absolutely love this gym and their trainers. I had the best workouts I’ve had in a very long time. I’ve been to several Kettlebell gyms and this one was by far my favorite. The instructors really push you to have your best workout. I am really looking forward to going to Chicago again just so I can stop in at OTG.

If you are looking for a way to get more fit and not have to rearrange your schedule to get to the gym this is a great place for you. I go at 6am and I’m out by 635am. The workouts are challenging and the exercises are varied every time. Ryan and Courtney make sure you aren’t compromising on form but will also push you to increase the weight you’re using or increase your rep speed. Very satisfied with the results!

I’ve always been an active and fit person but during this past, brutal winter I found myself becoming bored and lacking motivation with my individual workout routine. At the suggestion of a friend, I decided to sign up for a 3 month Gilt City deal at OTG Bootcamp and I’m so happy I did.
The bootcamp workouts are a great combination of both strength and cardio. Although the classes are just 30 minutes long, I always left feeling like I got a great workout in due to the high intensity of the exercises. The workouts change on a day-​to-​day basis and include kettlebell, TRX, plyometric, medicine ball, slam ball and body weight exercises.
The owners, Courtney and Ryan, are great trainers. Due to the small class sizes, they are able to instruct each client on proper form. This was very important to me since I was recovering from knee surgery when I started at OTG Bootcamp. Courtney and Ryan also strive to help each client meet his or her health and fitness goals. They track measurements and provide advice related to workout plans and healthy eating.
I would recommend OTG Bootcamp to anyone, regardless of current fitness level, who is looking for fun, challenging, and always changing workout classes. After 5 months of training at OTG Bootcamp, I have improved my endurance and am stronger now than ever before.

I found OTG last September. I was finishing up my marathon training and anxious to try something new for cross training/​winter. I went in for an intro class and was hooked. The owners, Courtney and Ryan, are so knowledgeable and committed to helping their clients accomplish their health and fitness goals. They take the time to learn about each client’s nutrition and fitness goals, and then work with you to develop a personal plan. Regular weigh-​ins and body measurements, including access to an online tracker, are included in the membership as well. The classes are purposely kept small so that each client gets personal attention. Workouts are always challenging and different, keeping your body from plateauing. In addition to regular classes, they also host different fitness challenges for members throughout the year.
Since starting at OTG, I have noticed great improvement in my running and overall health. I have become much stronger, making me a faster and more efficient runner. Not to mention much less prone to injuries. I used to have IT-​band, knee and hip issues when running longer distances. Courtney and Ryan worked with me to strengthen these areas and I am now running pain free. I also have shaved over a minute off my marathon pace.
In addition to all the great health benefits, OTG is a fun place. The other members are friendly and the gym has a very family-​like feel. Many members have even signed up to run races as a team. I am so happy I found OTG.

I travel for a living and always check out local fitness centers. While in Chicago for 2 months, I took advantage of a short term promo membership to see what kettle bells were all about and all I can say is if you are looking for a quick challenging work out — look no further than OTG. Courtney and Ryan are hands on trainers that work with ALL levels of fitness. The classes are small (sometimes it was just me and one other person) and attention is paid to form. One piece of advice to new clients: stick with it. As you get better with the bells, your work out becomes more and more efficient.

This review gets NO starts, but Unilocal makes you enter at least one in order to post. I bought the Gilt City deal with full knowledge that this place does not cater to people who actually have jobs. I planned to go on Saturdays. I’m sorry but some of us work to eat! The Gilt City did not mention that I needed to sign up for an intro class. I signed up for this thing because I know how to swing a kettle bell, I don’t need an intro class! Then, when none of the times allowed for the intro class were during a reasonable time of day for people who work, they MOVED to a completely different part of the city. I signed up because it was close!!! This was a terribly unaccommodating business and did not work out all the possible details prior to offering this deal. I DON’T RECOMMEND IT!

I have been dating gyms and fitness classes for years, but had never found «the one.»
After only a few classes at OTG, I knew I was hooked on kettlebell and being part of the OTG family. Yes, I know this sounds funny coming from a serial gym dater, but they are just that good. Here’s why:
–Unlike most gyms/​studios, the owners know your name, want you to achieve measurable results and care about way more than what Lululemon outfit you are wearing.
–Getting measured, weighed and setting fitness goals is part of your membership. It always bothered me that gyms and personal trainers didn’t measure/​weigh me in the past. How would I know if I was really changing my body?
–Clients get a nutrition consult where you learn what to eat, when to eat and why. The plan is realistic and Courtney will even check in with members to see how they are doing with their eating. She also sends awesome recipes and is honest about her own food temptations. I think this is a huge perk of OTG. Without eating right, your body will never change.
–Everyone at the gym is really friendly to one another. I have never experienced this before and it makes it fun to come back and chat with people in your class.
–The workouts are tough and quick. It’s also fun to see improvements on your form, endurance and strength. It gives you something to work towards.
–The workouts are different every single day. This means your body and your mind won’t get bored.
–They offer optional challenges if you really want to kick it up notch (leg challenge, weight loss challenge).
Overall, I am so happy to have found a fitness home. I sleep better now and for the first time in my life, I look forward to going to the gym.

Got a free week referral card from my friend and went twice the 1st day because I loved the class! After the 1st week I knew I would be returning! Courtney and Ryan are wonderful people and trainers who really want success for everyone who walks in the door. In 30 mins I feel like I am pushed to my ultimate limit and working muscles I didn’t even know I had! Each class only has a handful of people so it really feels like personal training. They are no nonsense and encouraging at the same time! So happy with my results thus far!

It may just look like a generic kettle bell gym, but its much more than that. They are a new gym with tons of potential. As a start up, Courtney and Ryan are great trainers that will listen to you and cater to your needs and goals.
Where the stars come from:
— Small, quick, efficient and effective classes. If you’re lucky, it’s small enough to feel like personal training.
— A put up or shut up mentality, which is initially off-​putting, but they are dedicated to results. Isn’t this what you signed up for in the first place?
— Price: If you actually crunch the numbers, and like doing classes/​personal training, these guys absolutely crush the competition.
Room for Improvement:
— Class availability. While sizes are small, there is only a few a day, and they can’t start before 9am.
I give it 4 stars because I see the potential, and will do my best to help them achieve it!
Although, the schedule is slightly limited, the service is absolutely 5-​star once you’re inside. I’ll be back in 3 months to add that 5th star!

So, I bought an Amazon Local deal. I figured this new place might suck, but i might as well give it a try. Well, as you may guess by the 5 stars, I found that it does NOT suck. After 2 classes, I knew I would sign up for a membership. Courtney and Ryan are awesome — fun and welcoming people while also being tough and knowledgeable trainers. Tons of hard work is packed into 30 short minutes, and small classes ensure that you get instruction on each move. It is such a supportive environment, where folks of all skill/​strength levels can work out together. I was somewhat fit going in, but I am being challenged in new ways every time I walk in the door. Love it!

Incredible. I have dropped two pant sizes, and finally feel control of my exerciese regiment. If you are a former athlete or a college guy who has gotten a beer gut this place is for you. I can’t say enough about Courtney. Exceptionally strong trainer with abilities to shape your diet as well as your workout routine. This is better than crossfit as this includes weights that makes you feel like your using your full body to work out!!! Awesome, if you have 30 minutes everyday, then you owe it to your body.
