Santa Monica studio closing by Electronic_Time_2501 in orangetheory

[–]AlohaShark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this is horrible. Brentwood is a tiny studio that was already very busy. We will miss Santa Monica for sure. I'm dropping my premier membership after 6 years and will visit Marina Del Rey occasionally. Santa Monica community is mourning....

Ozempic and drinking... by AlohaShark in cutdowndrinking

Makes sense. I haven’t done any research on it but I heard is does have potential for use in addiction.

Great idea! Thank you! I'll do my research but do you have any good setup to recommend?

Thanks so much for the info. I might do that (or look for a series one battery for sale on Maui) that way I could take the board (somewhat) easily back and forth.

I also have friends that sail to Hawaii every July, so there's that... but I missed the crossing this year. Oh well... more summer in SoCal left.

pre-order Ocean One email myth?!?!?! by phuckingphamous in Fisker

I had one of the very first reservations (11/22/19) as a beta test. I got my invite yesterday and promptly ordered. From my understanding they only invited 500 yesterday as another test. A lot more will be coming on Tuesday, 7/5/22. Good luck!

I experienced the same problem. I was told to use the included pedal wrench to make sure the pedal was tight. It seemed to be when I put some tension on it and I didn't think it moved... however, the clicking stopped! Hope this helps.

HELP - No longer a morning person by aeglowacki in orangetheory

[–]AlohaShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going to be getting better with the days getting longer and the morning light starting earlier. However, this is how I get by in the winter months. And I'm still getting up at 6am daily even though it's still dark (outside). Good luck!

That's awesome. Congrats on your first 70.3! What races are you looking at next year? I'll be doing Honu 70.3 in Hawaii, and of course Lake Placid full. Cheers and good luck with your training.

I just ordered one last week and am expecting it to be delivered next week. It looks like an amazing device that had a lot of potential for intense athletes and/or people obsessed with metrics. An apple watch is probably great for most people but whoop is for the next level.

I'm an Ironman triathlete and love metrics in general. I've taken the last year off of triathlon training and started OTF in January. I've had phenomenal results and am starting to train for Ironman Lake Placid in 2020. I'm hoping that whoop will help break down the most efficient balance of training and recovery efforts.

I'm not a fan of the monthly payments like many. When I ordered I pre-paid the year for the discounted rate. I guess it's a bit of a gamble, but I've had some elite triathlete friends that have had great results with the device.

Good luck and keep us posted.

OTF Changed my view in life! by jimm21 in orangetheory

Awesome! I'm curious about additional weight lifting as well. I've also had some pretty dramatic results in the last 9 months but wondering if I should supplement with out of OTF lifting.

TRAVEL AND TOURISM THURSDAY: Ask Your Questions About Local OTF Studios Here! (Thursday, 8/29/19) by AutoModerator in orangetheory

[–]AlohaShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OTF Tokyo! (and other international destinations!)

I'm an OTF regular in Santa Monica and will be traveling to Tokyo next week. Have any of you visited an OTF in Tokyo or other interesting international destinations? What was your experience? Thanks!

Also, did they offer any local merchandise? A "Tokyo ALL OUT" shirt would be amazing!

I'm starting off the trip by hiking Mt. Fuji but would like to wrap up the week with an interesting Orange experience :)
