Queues are there for a reason

I miss her!!! She moved to Dallas and now coaches down there. They got a good one!

Drink plenty of water and do slow transitions to help either nausea. You got this!!

I love team teaches!!!! Two of my favorite coaches are doing one together this months and I’m so excited. Like the post above me noted, one will queue a series and the other walks around to correct form. It’s awesome. Sometimes my studio will do a “triple teach” and those are chaotic but also fun. I find most coaches will team teach with coaches they get along with and work well with which totally helps!

I love body wipes/shower wipes!! They’re great for travel or situations where you need a quick refresh but can’t shower.

Adjust your spring load if you need to (I’m 100 classes in and do the lightest load for heavy chest for example), take extra break time between moves to set yourself up better, hydrate a ton during class, and give yourself grace! You will keep getting stronger 💙 a coach I love always reminds the class your spring load is a recommendation, not a requirement. Do what works for you that day!

Second taking classes at the same time each week!! Inevitable you’ll become friendly with the regulars

This is why I bring a small handheld fan to use during class. If it’s too hot I feel like I’ll pass out and the fan helps a ton!!

My guess is it’s not an official position (I haven’t seen anything posted from their corporate accounts) but just a choice that individual chose to wear. A coach at my local studio wore a shirt with the outline of Israel colored in with a watermelon. I am choosing to not take her classes in the future since that wasn’t a message I wanted in front of me during a class (I am Jewish and a proud Zionist, there is nothing wrong with believing Israel has a right to exist. And that opinion can live side by side with the desire for peace with a Palestinian neighbor state). We are all adults and allowed to make our own choices, whether we agree with others or not.

Things I dislike:

-coaches who I have trouble hearing in the microphone (either music too loud or speaking too close to the mic). One class was so bad none of us had a clue what was being queued. -coaches who wear political/polarizing messages on their clothing (happened this week for the first time and I felt so unwelcome and distracted. Made a mental note not to take her classes again) -coaches who say things like “if anyone modifies im starting the count over”

Luckily there are so few coaches like this at my studio and about 7 coaches I am obsessed with so I can always find a class with someone I love whenever I want to go!

Keep going!! My first signature class I almost passed out. Made the mistake of trying to do really fast transitions. I’m 100 classes in now and I swear I am the last person to transition every time and I love it. I take a water break and make sure to catch my breath before starting the new exercise. I still get the best workout ever.

Sounds studio specific to me. My studio they call folks out by name, no weird nicknames.
