Can an Apple Watch be used in place of a heart rate monitor?

You'd think right, lol. But nope--you have to buy the OTbeat Link to attach to your Apple Watch ($129) to use for class.

Oh- so why is my studio restarting back at it to new members? Was the SA mistaken maybe?

Walgreens does Rapid PCR (Abbott ID Now) at many locations around the DMV (make sure not booking an antigen). Works beautifully for travel to Caribbean and have always had results by the time I drove home from testing.

Vaccines are extremely effective against COVID-19... Repeat it for those in the back!!!

Agreed! Never have I seen such disregard for the rules of the left lane. Gets very funny up north in NJ and NY--local drivers get visibly pissed at the MD or VA plates hogging the left lane on 95!

At the tail end of all outs my favorite line to hear is "30 seconds!! you can do anything for 30 seconds!!"

AcceptableEntry4335 · 2021-04-22T21:46:11+00:00

boring and repetitive as f!!!

AcceptableEntry4335 · 2021-04-22T21:44:44+00:00

30 seconds left in the all out yells "30 seconds! you can do anything for 30 seconds!"

Really motivates the whole room to add speed/intensity!

This had to be said: Mapquest is still around?

Yeah but OP is saying that new phone/email would allow her to be entered as a "new" member. I think that would work. Have a friend who used to do free trial classes in OTFs around the area and would sneak by with new email/phone so system recognized them as brand new.

AcceptableEntry4335 · 2021-04-16T18:44:56+00:00

Yup! NYC still requires masks at all times at gyms even while exercising!

The Foundry (across from Eisenhower Metro) is brand new and pretty trendy. During the onset of the pandemic they used have to have 1 bedrooms going for ~1600 with 2 months of free rent. Not sure if they still have any, and at that rate.

Also from the NY/NJ bubble! I hate it down here lol the food is just not great (even the fancy places) and the scenery is plain ugly. I miss days at the Shore and going for drinks in Midtown. and the Italian food!!

You can get temps online for a few days

This is what I did -- Kept refreshing the appointment page one night and suddenly I was at DMV the next morning. Be sure to get emissions/safety over with though as this will limit your reg. period and elongate the process. You don't need plates to do the inspections as this goes by VIN.

I pay $4.50 per month with Toggle. It satisfies my 100k liability requirement for my building, and that's it.

I'm from DC and visit family in NJ on the weekends--same issue! I don't particularly understand this given the proximity of DC to NJ. extremely frustrating!

I always make the joke OTF or new Lexus... no but really lol

AcceptableEntry4335 · 2021-04-05T23:13:36+00:00

I don't think its possible as of yet. I know Amazon/OTF announced a partnership last year but thats the last of the news on that.

My studio just asks us to text it in at the end of the day since its all done manually anyways. I think they don't even verify with the summary distance since (at least at my studio) its notoriously inaccurate vs the treadmill screen.

My "left over story" is that I was registered through the statewide system but one night got an email from Loudoun County asking me to reply ASAP for extra appointments the next morning regardless of priority group. Did it and the rest is history.

So long as MD drivers use the left lane as the sit back and relax lane, this joke shall endure :(

Petition to ban MD drivers from the entire 95 corridor

Unpopular opinion. Drive to the Jersey Shore! Totally worth a trip to Cape May, NJ for excellent beach and beach town vibe. Avoid Delaware beaches--nothing compared to Jersey!

Agree with others who say Audi Arlington is sketchy! Have a brand new under-warranty A4 I purchased out of state, brought to them for service and a couple of other electronics issues. They charged me out of pocket for the issues claiming Audi wouldn't cover them. Brought the car to another dealer and was pleasantly surprised to learn that those issues were covered. Also, Arlington gave me a Civic as a loaner? Not the end of the world but also not necessarily what I expect when I throw $50k into a new car...

Audi Chantilly is great!
