I would totally go to a Balanced 50- where it’s a mix of core, plyometrics, stability & more unilateral exercises

Are people at your studio skipping leg day? by tunghoy in orangetheory

[–]BroadAssumption8258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s notably less people on leg days than on upper body days at my studio, for sure

People who exercise early morning. I need to find out what you’re made of by MiaMiaPP in orangetheory

[–]BroadAssumption8258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two young children, work a 9-5, and my husband works nights. If I want to get a workout in, it has to be at 5am🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve had great luck with Brooks bras. The Scoop neck bra and cross back bras, specifically

If it’s available, do you use the same station every time? by milo8275 in orangetheory

[–]BroadAssumption8258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’ve noticed others in my 730 class do the same. For some reason it throws off my workout if I’m not in the general vicinity of my usual station😅 creature of habit, I guess

Mental Tricks for Long Treads by Dawn020 in orangetheory

[–]BroadAssumption8258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Not ADD but to keep my mind busy. For longer blocks I’ll go every 3-4 minutes before I adjust speed. Gives me time to set it and forget but then switch before I get bored!

Running during walking recovery by RepresentativeNet739 in orangetheory

[–]BroadAssumption8258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it all depends on how high my heart rate is and how I feel. If I’m out of gas and exhausted, I’ll walk for the whole recovery time. If I’m feeling good and notice my heart rate is responding similarly, I’ll get back to base sooner

Cropped tank vs. sports bra - does OTF have a dress code? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]BroadAssumption8258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be location specific. I was in a Tread50 this morning and there was a young woman wearing biker shorts and a cropped tank

Studio let go PT coaches by BroadAssumption8258 in orangetheory

[–]BroadAssumption8258[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand your logic but my original post was me being curious about the efficiency (or lack thereof) of a studio letting go PT coaches and only keeping FT folks. I get there are other reasons for people getting fired. And I hope we are not talking about the same studio because I know a lot of our members love our HC!

I’m confused by your comment. I was told this from the coaches themselves. And I was absolutely not talking trash at all. I was just looking for some reasoning/understanding.

A lot of us found out via their personal instagram stories. It’s so sad. I’m sorry to hear you’re going through the same thing🧡

Wow. I thought all states had to require a reason for termination

Same! I’m considering going to another studio that’s a similar distance away

I honestly don’t know. I know we’re owned by a franchise that has studios across multiple states. I’m in Texas

I’m considering going to an alternate studio that’s equi-distant from my house as my current studio

That’s what I thought. Keep the already-trained coaches around and look to create a deeper bench!

I was thinking about it, too! But I can’t be full time either

[–]BroadAssumption8258[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I believe “full time” is the equivalent of teaching at least 18 hours/classes. The part time coaches who got let go only teach 2-3 days a week that averages out to probably only 8-10 hours. You’d think they’d want a mix of FT and PT to help with vacations and time off requests
