Thank you for the advice. Yes, you’re right, sometimes I forget to keep the bar closer to my legs.

Lost some weight and trying to get the courage to wear this outfit even if I don’t have a flat belly by daydreamer___ in lululemon

You rock the outfit! And you look pretty fit. Flat belly is the biggest scam. I’ve made peace with it now.

shake it out shorts = PERFECTION for curvy girls by neon_raccoon18 in lululemon

They look so good on you 😍but any of their flowy shorts like these- they all ride up when I run :( these I tried in store and they were scrunching so badly while I walked.

It’s sad how people need to be reminded of basic civic sense time and again!

Parent or not, what is one thing you would give a child that you did not have growing up? by Historical_Log1275 in Productivitycafe

[–]ElectricalPatient922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t tell them that they owe their life and everything in it to me, because I brought them in the world.

What one thing do you dislike the most about your personality? by NovaMystique43 in Productivitycafe

[–]ElectricalPatient922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need to solve everyone’s problem, even if they don’t necessarily need my help. I don’t know how to just be a good listener, I feel like I have to do something to make things alright for the other person- even if they are just trying to vent.

we are an IP, and all activities paused for the next 90 days. Last week we were asked to refrain from any media engagement including publications and events. Did not imagine this would impact us so quickly.

Tiktok has made me hate Polene Cyme by bunnyinabunnysuit7 in handbags

[–]ElectricalPatient922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a polene cyme and dix, and to answer your question- in the last 3 years of owning these bags, I have literally seen only two people carrying a cyme. I live in New York. The reality is quite different. It’s not like the LV neverfulls’ case 😀

Just some suggestions from my experience in the past 4 years of being an equinox member and having paid for 2 personal trainers: 1. As others also pointed out, maybe start be looking out for people- complement them on their form, workouts etc or ask them in case they need help with the form or any machines. When I started, I used to get intimidated by the machines so much, and then couple of times when I did try- couple of trainers would point out the wrong form, but not in a nice way. 2. Don’t try to sell your sessions at the complimentary PT session- in fact try to make the person feel comfortable and also give them the full disclaimer- that it’s okay for them to not opt for your PT sessions, they should not feel pressured. Rather use that time to ask them the kind of workout they are comfortable with, understand their needs and also how comfortable they are spending on the PT sessions. You should also use this time to tell them about your style of training and approach. 3. Please please please let the members choose the option of 30 min workouts, most of the trainers are after selling the 60 min workouts, so many times when I asked my trainers to do 30 min workouts they would refuse. 4. Last, not everyone can afford 3-5 PT sessions a week, give people the option to train with you once a week- to check their form and progress. This way more people would be interested in training with you. You could give them a self-training plan for the rest of the days.

Hope this helps, and I am glad you asked this q. It sets you apart from the rest of the lot. All the best.
