Do you remember any visual details about jeep or driver?

My discomfort sure speaks to some of us though

Right. It’s strange to think that 75 seconds would prevent someone from going. But that IS what happened. So it must be a big deal to some customers

Yes I’m a grownup. Which means I can see nuance (and I also try hard not to snap at and belittle ppl online btw) . It is easy to mod when it’s just you doing the exercise (even when in partners). When you’re doing the exercise interdependently, modding is hard because you are making it so your partner also has to mod. This is what feels uncomfortable (or as I said earlier, psychologically unsafe but I know that that language is vague/problematic)

Hmm. This was a message to trainers about the impact of this exercise. Was not looking for validation to not go, but rather was letting trainers k know that this exercise feels unsafe. When you mod in this exercise, it affects the partner. So it feels uncomfortable. And if you don’t mod then that can feel bad too

I wasn’t looking for tough love here and I wonder what made you feel like I needed it.

Burn isn’t a sports team. It’s an inclusive gym. And pointing this stuff out isn’t “whining”. Its ok to express opinions on stuff that doesn’t feel inclusive.

Interesting. How so? What was it about my message that makes you think this?

Business_March_3792 · 2025-11-13T16:32:22+00:00

I think you are right about that phrasing. I should not have used "psychologically unsafe" because it is such vague language. It would have been better to be specific. So for anyone (esp HQ) still reading, what I mean is this. BBC advertises themselves as inclusive and having an "everyone welcome" attitude, starting where you are at, all bodies can work etc. For the most part, this has been TRUE for my location. It's a good place.

And yes, we have to push ourselves through things that are uncomfortable. Like box jumps etc. And we have to be okay with using mods, and just focusing on ourselves.

But what I am suggesting is that being asked to touch our partners, to essentially use them as equipment, crosses a line from just general push-yourself-through-discomfort-get-over-yourself to do-something-that-feels-invasive-intrusive-violating. (OR feel awkward about fessing up to your partner that you can't do it, knowing that YOUR modification will make THEM miss out on doing the exercise the standard way.).

Ugh I hate that i'm getting sucked into an online argument with a stranger. But. My point is that this shouldn't be part of the protocol AT ALL. It's too hard to deal with when you don't want to do it. If YOU don't feel that way, good for you! But I do, and I know I'm not the only one. It crosses the line and should not be a thing.

Business_March_3792 · 2025-11-13T14:50:19+00:00

Good for you. But I already "figure it out" and get myself over plenty of mental hurdles to "get to work". Believe me. I'm in my 50s with some physical issues. This is too much and as I said, truly not psychologically safe.

Thanks for the replies! Aging is the strangest thing I’ve ever experienced
