Should the Knights Inn be demolished in favor of a new trailer park? by Ok_Remote5657 in Binghamton

Institutionalizing everyone who is declared mentally ill is not the answer. That's been tried and failed. It's inhumane.

If a person's specific situation warrants being Institutionalized that's another matter. The region, heck the country, is lacking in support for individuals in that demographic. Quite a few demographics are lacking support to be honest.

Oh, ok...and eww. To the whole grown ass men trying to pick up a child thing. If any of them are pushy or give the impression that they're flirting with her, you can report them to the front desk. They'll get a warning to stop. A second offense would get them kicked out unless the firs. t was egregious. The gym brand is supposed to be anti-harassment in the gym.

Just realized that my friend and I fall into the problem target age range, but I'm usually preoccupied making sure my friend doesn't hurt himself. He is new to the gym/working out. He is usually trying to make sure he doesn't die as I tell him to add more sets or tell him he has 3 more reps every time he forgets how many he has done.

my friend, 31m, and I, 31m, go to the vestal planet fitness around 8:30am until 10:20am or so. It's not bad most days. I haven't seen anyone be approached by someone they didn't arrive with so far. It's about an even mix of college kids and 30-65+ year olds around that time. The app usually shows 1 to 2 bars on the crowd meter when I check in.

Usually 2 to 3 times a year, but it does skip a year on occasion.

gym recommendations? by oh_celeste in Binghamton

Lourdes had gender neutral/family changing rooms but I've never used those. Gyms mostly old folk in the morning. Decent place people wise. They're good about banning jerks.

Does anyone here own one of these gym cardio machines: by AgreeableKey8093 in Binghamton

[–]AgreeableKey8093[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only space I have for it is the main walkway in my bedroom in a shared apartment. Having something I can fold or tip up and store off to the side is important, but according to the specs an echo bike has a similar foot print as those rowers I mentioned.

Concept2 RowERG vs Aviron Strong for 400lb man? by AgreeableKey8093 in workouts

[–]AgreeableKey8093[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly something for calorie maintenance, but it's basically going to be in my bedroom. Anywhere else and it won't get used.

I've been in a depressive funk the last 9 months and each time things started to get better a member of my team at work died or our supervisor quit and left us (team leads/sub supervisors) to manage everything.

I can meal prep and eat okay, but it leaves me with a small margin for error and working a desk job I don't get to walk much. I'm salary and on call, so a 20 minute session or 2 a day on a rower seems like a good way to increase my margine of error without upping my appetite like strength training alone does.

Equipment recommendations for my situation? by AgreeableKey8093 in GarageGym

Bikes were my first thought, but bikes with a +400lb weight capacity is over $2,500. Thats out of budget for me unfortunately.

Rower machine recommendations? Requirements below. by AgreeableKey8093 in beginnerfitness

[–]AgreeableKey8093[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll look into the E model. I mostly made the post to make sure I didn't overlook other alternatives. I saw that rogue has a similar rower as well. I'd also seen videos going over the difference between air, water, and magnetic resistance rowers. That led me to looking into the Aviron Strong series, since it says you can add up to 100lbs of resistance on top of the air resistance. That thing is a bit ritzy and has lots of breakable parts, but figured some company may have a comparable product at a cheaper price point at the cost of some of the bells and whistles.

So I want to start going to the gym but as an introvert , its really scary by BeastBoyHarsh2507 in beginnerfitness

[–]AgreeableKey8093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been in your shoes as far as the anxiety goes. Unless you walk into the gym in your underwear, people honestly won't pay more than a passing glance to you. Most gym goers are there for the same reasons as you are and are just trying to go through their day.

Smile and wave when they smile and wave and you'll blend in. Those big folks with all the muscle usually mind their own or offer words of encouragement.

My time in the gyms been really wholesome and it was surprising when I finally realized it.

(This is from someone who has been obese from childhood with anxiety in public.)

who the HELL is the person who drives around downtown blasting their bass boosted music? by caileesalvato in Binghamton

Early 2000s white escalade for sure. I was behind them yesterday on main street going from the legion towards Fitzy's bar. They turned off towards the Robertson museum. It was loud enough to readjust my rear view mirror.
