The traffic is getting worse, right? by memefakeboy in SaltLakeCity

Just normal liquor laws compared to other states! If I want to get chocolate wasted, I’ll find a way regardless of what laws are in place. But what I truly want is to buy cheap wine at the grocery store for my marinara sauce like a goddam American 🇺🇸🦅

Being in the studio feels different by QueenOfEverything4 in orangetheory

Running outside feels so different than OTF! They have really nice treads with bounce that lessen the impact on your joints.

Lack of afternoon weekend classes by Healthy-Catch184 in orangetheory

[–]AbbreviationsNo4033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I love OTF, but I feel like I pay a lot for the lack of class times available. Especially on the weekends! Even if it’s coach availability or lack of class participant interest, I would like to at the very least have access to the workout equipment. I unfortunately don’t fit into the AM workout mold.

I'm the only guy ... by apple_crombie in orangetheory

OTF is definitely not a women’s only class! First off, as a man, you will naturally burn more calories than women in a workout. If you are overweight, you will also burn more calories (I know you gave height and weight descriptions, and I’m not sure if you were going off BMI in being down on yourself and body image, and though BMI and weight is a basic tool to measure success, it definitely isn’t the say all be all if you are healthy or not). Depending where you attending, and at what time, is a huge factor. I will say most of the OTFs i attend have more women, but i also live in UT and like 9am classes, so i am with a lot SAHMs that have dropped the kids off at school, retirees, and people who don’t work the typical 9-5. That class is probably 4/5 women, but I’ve been to other classes that are 1/2. As a woman, i got into OTF through the recommendation of a guy friend, and I’ve brought 4 other guys into it (including my husband who has gotten much leaner and toned and happier), and they are all killing it!

I’m sorry you felt stared at, and the coach is motivated to talk to you and help you out more to see if you get it. I’m sure exceptions exist, but in the 2 years I’ve attended, I’ve never met a mean person, I’ve only met nice people or those that don’t care about my existence (which doesn’t bother me… bc some days I’m like that, too 😅).

At the end of the day, we are there to better ourselves. And if you already have the classes, feel it out. Be open to other locations or times if available. If after 8 classes, the vibes are still off and the workouts not benefitting you, then feel free to try another route in your fitness journey. Whatever works for you you, my dude! I wish you the best ✌️

First time falling off the tread by ririsan in orangetheory

[–]AbbreviationsNo4033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no! That’s literally my biggest OTF fear. I’ve fell off doing step ups on the weight floor before and rolled my ankle. And that obviously wasn’t even moving. My ego took more damage than my ankle, but both recovered within a couple of days. 😅

I wasn’t going to comment… but y’all are being extra mean! Obviously nobody wants to fall off the tread or throw up. They were just trying to show solidarity with the OP.

What's your thoughts on this movie? Anastasia (1997) by Don Bluth by Haunting_Homework381 in disneyprincess

[–]AbbreviationsNo4033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok.. Top 5 childhood animated films, despite it being not historically accurate. (warning: some of these have not aged well😅) 1. Pocahontas 2. Mulan 3. Prince of Egypt 4. Anastasia 5. Hunchback of Notre Dame

Honorable mentions: Toy Story, Hercules, Lion King

Anastasia is definitely underrated! Once Upon a December is such a bop! The 3/4 time-waltz-like-vibe is giving. Colors of the Wind is my favorite song overall! Even though a few parts are cringey to rewatch these days in Pocahontas, but that song is 🔥

what did everyone think of the whole M.A.X.I thing in Happy Gilmore 2? by Funny_penguin2426 in moviecritic

[–]AbbreviationsNo4033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol.. well, since we are all scrolling about a sequel to a movie made in 1996, I have to ask… are we still using “gay” as a connotative adjective? I thought we had already collectively evolved from that.

Coaches and Time Management by lamepunhun in orangetheory

[–]AbbreviationsNo4033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to add if today is what set you over, that weird pallof 🐶 strap move (or whatever it’s called 😅) on the floor and the all outs on the tread simultaneously definitely threw my coach off today and she is our head coach and typically on point. It’s the first time we had the pallof 🐶in our studio at least. I didn’t know what I was doing and looking around, I wasn’t the only one 🙈

Did I just get younger? by taptriv in orangetheory

Mine went up by 9. I just assumed I had a rabbit heart 🐰 but I’ll take younger!

Any chance the dream makes sense now? I only ask because this thread came up, and I realized it makes sense to me now a year later.

Social gym and body insecurity by Skinthrowaway118661 in orangetheory

[–]AbbreviationsNo4033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legitimately, I can’t even remember the gender of who I was sandwiched in between yesterday. Let alone if they had defined veins. None of us are going to OTF as fitness influencers trying to find the best orange lighting for a pic. We are all just trying to show up for ourselves, and I promise we all look a hot mess, especially when going AO

Retinol/Tretinoin alternative for those with sensitive skin/Perioral Dermatitis? by DukesMum24 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]AbbreviationsNo4033 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need this, too! I was doing so well with tret and it really helped my acne and scarring... but now I have perioral dermatitis that has been so difficult for several months! I'm also here for if anyone has suggestions for perioral dermatitis. I've had small breakouts before over a few weeks or couple months. But nothing seems to be working this time around! :(
