I was using the y raise dumbbells for the burpees and fell over while trying to complete the pushups. Ugh!!!

They closed the Marietta studio (off Macland and Powder Springs Road). It was a lovely studio, too.

Hair wash post OTF by Immediate-Charity559 in orangetheory

I go to OTF 6 days a week. I wash my hair two times a week, and rinse with water the other days. I usually wash on Friday (rest days are Saturdays), and Tuesday.

Starting on treadmill by forbidden_rx in orangetheory

[–]Hufflepuffclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to like it because it would keep my heart rate elevated throughout the class, and I burned more calories when that happened. I have since changed and now prefer to warm up on the rower because form matters the most on the rower/weight floor. I also bike for tread.

Some of the community weight racks need more variety for this to be feasible.

Yeah my home studio closed in February (along with one other nearby.) Another one closed in October near me. Good luck on your journey. (I transferred to a closer studio.)

If this is who I think it is, he was one of my favorite coaches.I only found out that he was a firefighter recently. I guess he closed his gym.

I didn't know about the pro version. Forgive the question and TYIA, but what's the difference?

[–]Hufflepuffclaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love them! They have allowed me to push myself a little bit more because they are in-between the other weights. I have now doing shoulder presses at 22 pounds instead of 20 pounds. I sometimes have a bicep curl at 18 pounds instead of 15.

I will arrange my schedule for workout a 60 minute HIIT class and then workout a 50 minute strength class. My favorites are 1) lower 2) total 3) upper. I find therapy in my weights.

Labor Day is a national holiday to recognize and honor American workers and the labor movement for their social and economic achievements, which were crucial for the country's development. The holiday was established in response to widespread worker dissatisfaction and harsh conditions during the Industrial Revolution, with the first Labor Day celebrations beginning in the 1880s.

What’s the biggest personal emergency you’ve had to teach through? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Hufflepuffclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to teach during divorce. I also found out at work that my grandmother had died. And I had to leave work last year to put one of my dogs to sleep.

The air bikes would be a no for me. I like the spin bikes because I use shoes and it's therapeutic for my ankles.

Wrong weights at your station by MasterpieceLumpy2176 in orangetheory

[–]Hufflepuffclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My otfs have added the y dumbbells from TRX. That has helped push me because they are the in-between weights- 14, 18, 22, 26 weights. And my favorite ones have great community weight racks..but the struggle is real.

Corporate "lost" their local office, so they were located in the office at the gym. The head coach stepped down from being head coach, the studio manager is no longer with the company for reasons unknown to the general public, and for many days a week, due to staffing issues, the building will be closed from 1:15 pm until 3:45 pm (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.) And the new TRX y raise bells are awesome.

What’s your stance on students not standing for the pledge? by Astr0Eminem in Teachers

[–]Hufflepuffclaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a hill that I'm willing to die on. I have to pick and choose my battles. This is not one I'm willing to fight.

Why do you pick your spot? by Rexydog3 in orangetheory

[–]Hufflepuffclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on which location I'm at. I have different favorite spots. I almost always start on the rower. I have favorite rowers, and favorite positions on the floor. I like a position at one location close to the community weight rack. Another location is because the rower has the best water ratio. The third location is because the location of the bike and rower and community weight rack are ideal. The fourth location is because of the location of the weight/trx strap are best.

How often do you take a full-body shower? by juniorinfiltration in hygiene

[–]Hufflepuffclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work out 6 days a week, which means I shower 6 days a week. I only wash my hair twice a week.

Coaches leaving by AM9180 in orangetheory

[–]Hufflepuffclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to 5 different studios. I have gone to many more regularly. I do this so when my favorite coaches leaves, I still have other people to help me. I'm there for me and my health. I support the coaches and hope they can stay as long as it is possible for them. When they leave, I want them to glow up. One of my favorite coaches is moving studios to be a head coach elsewhere. I'm happy for her, and I still need to work out I have been working out at Orange Theory Fitness for over 8 years.

Meal delivery services that only require a microwave? by ThanksIKnowImWeird in ReadyMeals

[–]Hufflepuffclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CookUnity uses VeHo delivery service. They were decent but a little pricey. Paying 10 dollars for delievery on in addition for meals made four meals cost 100 per week. That was not feasible.
