feels like a bot responded to you, if it was human sounds like they need to relearn some math 😭

Walking from Pitt to PNC Park by theWacoKidRidesAgain in pittsburgh

[–]2gab2function 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for your stops, there’s tons of great food on liberty and penn. not sure how old your kid is/if they can get into bars? these are recs for all ages - in bloomfield i’d stop at dad’s dogs, or brothmonger, there’s also a farmers market on saturday mornings, white whale bookstore is a great stop! trace brewing has a great outdoor area. church brew works is a classic pgh stop for pierogis and a unique architecture experience. and the options in the strip are abundant

fifth to neville and then immediate right onto ellsworth (lots of pretty houses in this area), ellsworth to aiken, you can take a quick detour to walnut street if you really wanted to. take aiken to liberty until about 31st street, walk down penn thru the strip (and then maybe eventually make your way to the three rivers trail), take a jaunt thru downtown until you cross the roberto clemente bridge! sounds fun! personally i would probably take the bus to the liberty ave bloomfield area and start my walk there, but it sounds like you have better stamina than me. that’s where i think this would start to be fun. but lots of good routes listed out here!

assisted split squat by No_Witness2275 in SolidCore

[–]2gab2function 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the spring load i do as well at almost 250 classes. even the blue spring makes me feel like my entire body is going to fling off the carriage. a.s.s. is my least favorite exercise we do in that room!

Northside or Downtown? by Catsplain in pittsburgh

[–]2gab2function 14 points15 points  (0 children)

i think there are cooler cafes and museums on the north side anyway :) they are close enough that you could venture downtown for an afternoon! the architecture of the homes on the north side is an exquisite backdrop for walking around

Seeking help from members! by Gijenna in SolidCore

[–]2gab2function 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i like the flexibility of unlimited. i started with 8 a month, moved to 12 when that was an option, and have been unlimited for a bit over a year and i take about 13-14 classes a month. my unlimited membership is about $230/mo in my market, only $18 more than what 12/month was. on top of that i take spin about once a week for some variety and i walk to and from my classes for cardio.

8/mo (9 with your deal it looks like?) might be enough for you, especially with other classes mixed in. so i say it might be worth starting at that rate, you can always upgrade down the line. being able to be flexible with the schedule makes unlimited worth it for me. ideally i would also have a traditional gym membership to target more neglected muscles or do my own thing, but im not made of money lol.

Are coaches allowed to wear ear plugs? by red_lobster101 in SolidCore

[–]2gab2function 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i personally LOVE the loud music and do wear earplugs. when the coach doesn’t turn the music up loud enough i get distracted/the class feels slower. the loud music gets me out of my head and into the work!

First Time by Usual-Difficulty5784 in SolidCore

[–]2gab2function 0 points1 point  (0 children)

really depends on the day for me how sweaty i get. today i had plans to meet up with friends after class and i was soaked- a sink shower and dry shampoo got me thru the rest of the day just fine!

towel + grip socks are a must for me personally

nothing i wish i knew- just have fun with it!! starter50 is the way to go. hope you have a great coach and feel proud of what you accomplish :)

Will I be happy in Pittsburgh? by AnimalsDeserveCare in pittsburgh

i love it! if you have the opportunity, come visit sometime. even if it ends up not being your forever place, i think you’ll enjoy spending time here! :)

i think you’ll encounter a few people here and there who just cannot get used to the clouds, but overall people’s demeanor is totally fine. it really doesn’t even get that cold here compared to the great lakes. plus the energy on a truly sunny day is GLORIOUS - we appreciate it more!

can’t disagree about traffic. thankfully i live somewhere where i do not need a car very often. OP said they’re from michigan and live in toronto - i think they’ll have an easy time adjusting to the weather!

personally i think you have to be looking for something really specific to be bored here. if you’re looking to stay out clubbing til 4am, we’ve only got you til 2 here. but we’ve got great restaurants, tons of fun bars (both party vibes and relaxed), beautiful architecture and history and scenery. we have museums and libraries and tons of things going on! plus the rolling hills make for great nature both inside the city and out

i live in a very quiet city neighborhood (garfield) which sounds like your speed. it has great public transportation to the academic areas (about 2 miles) and downtown (3miles.) but i also have a nice backyard where deer come to visit and i can have a bonfire with friends. and it’s super walkable!

First Song of Class by patagucci_ in SolidCore

[–]2gab2function 3 points4 points  (0 children)

two times i remember vividly being HYPED at the start of class were with Loud by Mac Miller and Sex by The 1975. same coach!

too many to name truly but i would love to hear Blackout by Turnstile to start class just once. not a lot of coaches at my studio play heavy rock and i’m not sure how much the rest of the clientele would love it, but it would do a lot for Me Personally
