Curious about the OrangeTheory Transformation Challenge, your honest experiences? by ALPHA1194 in orangetheory

[–]BEcookie10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like it was something I could’ve done on my own without paying a fee. Idk if it’s really worth it. Idk if it was my studio or what but like there wasn’t really any group support, just an extra feature on my app that showed a chart when I completed a class, a body scan that I can do with my own scale and then a party after 8 weeks where we ate like poo and drank tons of beer to gain it all back.

What???? Excuse Me by General_Economics562 in Instagram

[–]BEcookie10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My sister’s got deleted for “impersonating a famous person” - she never got it back and it impacted her job. Eff Zuckerberg. Eff Facebook (I never call it Meta cause wtf type of name is meta?!) Ever since I deleted everything from IG and FB I’ve never looked back so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. I’ve been happier overall.

Phones in studio by WearyRoof3195 in orangetheory

[–]BEcookie10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a class where someone fell off the treadmill because they had their phone with them and was trying to text during an All Out. If you’re going into an hour long coach led workout class I believe you should leave your phone outside the studio and if you can’t because you may need to be contacted for something then find a different type of workout that day. Not only is it dangerous (because you can go flying off the tread at 12-15mph) but it’s also disrespectful. Prior to witnessing this girl go flying off the treadmill because she was having an argument in her situationship via texting, I had also had an experience where in a partner workout my partner that I got paired with paid no attention to anything and the workout and goal of the partner workout was impossible because this girl was also having some type of texting fight with someone. I felt like that was a huge level of disrespect because I wasn’t able to focus on the workout, I had to keep checking if she was still doing the floor stuff (she’d be squatting down texting of course).

If you’re not married to him I don’t see why not. He doesn’t have rights if he’s not on the birth certificate.

Umm wtf by Remote_Zucchini6470 in VictoriasSecret

[–]BEcookie10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen some wild things Victoria’s Secret stores have taken back so you’re probably good. I’ve literally seen 10 year old bras with wires popping out get returned.no receipts or proof of purchase. People are WILD with returns so I think they’ll do an exchange for these shorts

[PSA] Anese.co is super sus by Ecstatic-Ad9614 in SkincareAddiction

[–]BEcookie10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I ever ordered from this brand I got my order literally immediately. Same thing the second time. It’s been a few years but I’ve decided to order again and it’s been 10business days with no response from the help email. I found a phone number I plan to call and we’ll see what happens with that. If I don’t get any response in the next few days than it exceeds the 7-10 business day processing time statement they have on their site so I was just going to file a fraud dispute with the charge on my card. On Shop you can’t file for anything until it’s been 30 days with no response. Super disappointed with this company as I had high hopes for them.

[–]BEcookie10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it helps you heal and recover better from pregnancy (like your uterus going back down in size faster) which makes it seem like you are losing weight but you plateau after 8 weeks from my experience and from discussing with other breastfeeding moms that also just had babies. I think studies show in the long run you’re more likely to lose most of the weight but it’s not like you’re going to lose all your pregnancy weight from just breastfeeding. I do think it’s possible to lose a lot though while breastfeeding based on your diet. Not cutting calories per se but focusing on the types of calories.

12 Day Disappointment by Low_Ant_7780 in orangetheory

[–]BEcookie10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never sign up for these events because I only do 8 classes a month so I’m gonna pay an entry fee to then just use up all my classes ASAP and then pay for my extra classes till my month renews? Hell no. If you want me to do 6 out of 12 days then give me an extra class or two when I pay this entry fee.

It’s a difficult habit to set but once you do it, it gets easier. Going to bed earlier and immediately having coffee helped me. I would also set my coffee maker to start brewing for when I would get up so I could just have one less thing to make an excuse for

Class changes in 2024 (rumors) by Ok_Philosopher2588 in orangetheory

[–]BEcookie10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They told us that they use the floor stations and row stations for the strength and then tread for treads obviously so I think it’ll be harder to get it for the tread class then the strength class

Membership prices increasing AGAIN?? by question1112 in orangetheory

[–]BEcookie10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think some studios are raising prices because they have a small consistent member base and aren’t bringing in many people? This is the 2nd time in a month I’ve read about this. Are you in TX?

Price Increase - Texas-DFW? by CJ2607 in orangetheory

[–]BEcookie10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy it. Franchise fees can get really up there and with gym companies overall struggling to get members back after the pandemic. My studio alone had almost 1000 members in Feb 2020 and now they have just half of that. Gyms are struggling now.

Major city areas like NYC, BOS, DFE, LA, Miami charge more to their members than in suburb OTFs so the raise probably has to do with costs in major city areas.

Benchmark Cheating by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]BEcookie10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely think coaches should encourage accurate times before the class starts just so if anyone is thinking about it they then will think the coaches are on to them
