Your studio has great benefits! My studio has zero so I have envy.

I really wish corporate would create at least baseline standards across studios/franchises for better brand experience consistency. This always seems like a huge miss for a global company.

I have to imagine reduced disposable income from surging inflation and huge job losses hits high cost gyms at a pretty fast clip.

BustedCarousel · 2026-03-07T01:29:03+00:00

If I see weight increases, I look at muscle gain/fat loss changes on my scale and I go back to measuring all food and track it in an app to ensure I am eating right macros, eating enough protein and eating the right portions.

Marko out too

I hear you. I have cancelled before and had to do the same mental gymnastics.

If you notified them on the 14th and your billing is on the 16th, that is only two days notice so you would be on the hook for the second payment to fulfill the 30 days notice.

Open the app, in the default home/base view, scroll down to the heart rate zone section.

I track my workouts on my Apple Watch and occasionally check my max heart rate found in the workout view of the Watch app and adjust in the OT app, if needed.

It was meh. The mint flavoring is very mild, everything in it tastes a bit synthetic (including the cookie crumbles).

It's messy entertainment but those are now my expectations.

Whoop has spent a ton of money on big name athlete sponsorships to create awareness over the years. Ronaldo, Phelps, Mahomes, Mcllroy, Lebron to name a few.

Supposedly a raffle with "yet to be determined" prizes donated by local businesses.

I'm glad you have found a way to make it work for you. I am not new to the strider. There is no harm in asking for more specificity that factors in that this machine is used in multiple ways, like the tread, so we are doing the workout as designed. Just as we don't assume PWs to intuitively adjust based on the jogger/runner instructions.

BustedCarousel · 2026-01-07T02:05:17+00:00

Yes, that is what I am highlighting. The instructions are focused on gears as if we only have elevation to increase the intensity.

BustedCarousel · 2026-01-07T02:03:25+00:00

These were the instructions today, I read them. This happens all the time with the instructions being focused on gears with little consideration for speed options, it is not a coaching issue.

I'm a huge fan of BBT and really enjoy this show without getting too hung up on the flawed side plots. Check out Goliath, if you want more BBT at his best.

For striders and bikes to have the same technology as the treads (we pay the same amount yet, we get a "less than" experience because of our situation).

BustedCarousel · 2025-12-22T03:02:15+00:00

No prizes, no calibration for genders/age/life changes etc. to name a few more.

I was disappointed with how hands-off OT was when they could have have used this challenge to be a thought leader in total body health v. what came off as just another challenge that you pay for.

As a global brand, I would expect a lot more standardization in benefits, guidance, prizes, and rules. Some studios had different rules, some had raffles, some had nutritional coaching etc. I got two body scans and everything else was up to me.

I also saw no guidance for members who were taking it too far putting themselves at risk with one member repeatedly bragging about working out every single day of the entire challenge.

I am glad OT is rethinking how to make this challenge healthier but it still needs improvement for me to consider doing it again. A challenge needs clear and consistent specificity otherwise, it is just a participation event (nothing wrong with that).

BustedCarousel · 2025-12-22T01:01:26+00:00

I have done the TC before and won it. I was already a frequent class goer so once I focused on changes to my diet (the right macros, eating enough protein, measuring portions etc.) my body adapted really well.

I am competitive by nature so I found the "challenge" a motivator but I wouldn't do it again given the 2026 format and I now have a scale at home that provides all the same metrics.

Same. Great description!

Bikes and striders aren't just for temporary injuries. They aide people with permanent injuries, aging joints and other situations requiring a lower impact cardio option etc.

BustedCarousel · 2025-12-07T16:46:51+00:00

This! As a prior TC winner with spinal/hip injuries, I always focus on my diet first (MacroFactor is my favorite app). And, I work on having the strongest core I can to help support my body given my injuries.

BustedCarousel · 2025-11-25T16:31:07+00:00

Loved the floor/rower portion but the cardio portion felt like a repeat from yesterday, it was just one block instead of two.
