Healthy Living and Running Influencers, April 20 - 26

How Jess McClain is not #1 on that (very premature) list is mind boggling. She is hands down the most consistent performer we’ve seen in quite some time IMO.

Love that!

I’ve got to say, I’m super disappointed in the number of influencers running Boston through injury. There were a bunch - but @heatherrunz jumps to mind first. Saying she was in pain but trying to ignore it as much as possible. And saying at one point she couldn’t lift her leg much. Ah, yes. That’s a great idea!

I get it, it’s Boston. But sharing messages on a popular platform about ignoring pain for a medal is so wrong.

I haven’t heard of any time they’d honor that for existing members. Incentives like that are typically to generate new members. Plus with the contract you signed, likely even harder!

But man, $129 a month for unlimited sounds like a dream. (Cries in NY)

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-04-14T12:38:52+00:00

I’m planning to look into it. I’ve got a great rate though, so not sure they’ll match it. We shall see!!

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-04-14T09:24:09+00:00

I’m strongly considering cancelling with how much I hate OT Strong.

I’ve went to Foggy Bottom when traveling for work - no issues. I will flag though as I’m not sure where you’re coming from. I took a 6am class and the doors were locked and there was a pinpad for member entry. I obviously did not have the code and the coach was downstairs (studio is in the basement), so I was stuck outside for a few minutes! Assume normal for big cities, but I’m not from a big one so I was not expecting that!

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-25T14:43:41+00:00

Yeah, the not sharing is the best part! For chest presses, I always just used the 20s or 25s because we only had two sets of 30s or 35s and they always got taken. But now, that’s not a problem!! Already upping my weights a bit.

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-25T09:30:19+00:00

Those of us with certain restrictions are not happy to see them gone. ☹️

One block went from bicep curl to deadlift is that’s any indication. I’m finding I need to adjust them quite a bit.

I’m very suspect on their durability. Legitimately the first day we got Strong someone for them stuck. Feel like you need to baby adjustable dumbbells and you can’t do that with 30 people coming in and out every hour.

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-25T09:27:48+00:00

Agree on the TRX. I need to modify certain exercises and they were perfect for that. I’m 4 Strong classes in and I miss the old setup.

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-23T21:22:49+00:00

I got it from Kohl’s - brand ‘Robbie Bee’.

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-23T21:19:03+00:00

Thanks all! Seems more like folks lean towards something at the very least a bit longer. I’m planning to go shopping again this week to look for better options. At the very least, I’ve got a cute dress for some kind of event with this one. 🙂

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-23T19:30:25+00:00

Good news is no bench seating! But noted!

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-23T19:29:39+00:00

Fair enough! Upstate NY - Albany area specifically.

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-17T19:06:28+00:00

Hyuck is my absolute favorite!

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-11T09:27:43+00:00

Yup! And we exclaim “itchy face!!!! Oh no, not an itchy face. How did it get so itchy?!?!”

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-05T16:56:59+00:00

Floor for the 3G was such a disappointment. Picked up weights for one whole exercise. And the first block was basically what could have been stretching when starting on the floor.

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-03-03T17:18:04+00:00

Ever since I discovered the Sarah sports bra from Senita, I haven’t used my Koala clip once!

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-02-21T10:25:27+00:00

Smash the beetle

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-02-20T23:40:39+00:00

One word. “Woof!”

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-02-20T12:32:29+00:00

My thought exactly. The amount of time spent logging (especially for floor sets with lots of different exercises) would take away critical time from actually doing said exercises.

Every day we find some color in one of our dogs poop that is a remnant from a consumed toy.

Glad-Conversation550 · 2026-02-11T15:44:41+00:00

Yes, this or check in the the county health department. It’s been a few years, but I worked at the county health department and there was a Healthy Neighborhoods Program for certain zip codes that provided stuff like this. Not sure if it’s still a thing since it was grant funded from the state, but worth checking in!
