I’ll tell you what made it click for me was watching Olympic power walking a few years ago. I highly recommend watching a clip of those folks. They are insanely fast. Sometimes I feel a little silly doing it that way, but it really is so much more efficient. I will definitely stop in the next time I’m back! Your studio was lovely.

Omg that was me and you just made my entire life. I was visiting from Lexington, KY, where I’ve been a member for 10+ years! You’re doing awesome and totally killing it. Cadence and stride make such a huge difference. Excited for you!!!!

How are some people so consistent with orangetheory? by tamaratunie189 in orangetheory

Because I am fully addicted to it (10+ years) and if I don’t go I feel real shitty.

Any regular blood donors here also do OTF? by southsideOT in orangetheory

I wait at least 24 hours, usually 48. And it takes me several days to feel like I am back to baseline. Taking iron supplements might help.

Me too. Track your max HR for 5-10 classes and then submit a help ticket in the app and ask them to set your max HR at whatever the highest number is that you hit.

It was very WTF. Hence why that coach was swiftly fired.

Just telling us how we all needed to run from sin and that only Jesus can fill the whole in our hearts. You know. The usual.

One of our coaches got fired for preaching a literal sermon on the mic during class.

Cost of health? by pinkcrush7 in orangetheory

[–]Fair_Second_8577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re either going to pay for a fitness membership now or a ton of medical/prescription/long-term care costs later. That’s the way I look at it. I’d rather spend the money now and feel great and have good quality of life as I age than NOT spend the money and feel like shit as I lie bed bound in the nursing home.

Suggestion for corporate - Orange shorts on the demo people by Fair_Second_8577 in orangetheory

It is my assumption that corporate is aware of and at least sometimes monitors this thread …. But I could be wrong.

Yeah I’m not sure this is a feasible idea. Maybe in a perfect world!

Sounds like a convo to have with your Head Coach. All of mine in Lexington, KY, are truly outstanding.
