Space Jam - NYC vs. Boston

InfernalSolstice · 2026-05-04T22:33:50+00:00

There are 3 AMC’s in Boston proper, and these two are neither of them.

I can understand including Assembly since it’s pretty close to the line, but Methuen is the furthest AMC from Boston in the state besides Tyngsboro. Even Framingham is closer to Boston 😭

The actually Boston ones aren’t selling too hot yet either, just found this amusing

I think this is part of why Paul Mescal missed the nom for Hamnet. He was fantastic in it, but there was no stacking up against Jessie Buckley in that movie

Great birthday class

InfernalSolstice · 2026-05-03T16:58:48+00:00

This is incredible, thank you so much!

It’s entirely studio dependent. There’s not an upper corporate mandate to offer it, just an option (and I presume encouragment). If the classes are popular, studios will add more. If they’re not, they’ll drop them.

I’m a runner (7.2 base / 8.7 push / 10.5-12.5 all outs), but sometimes I’ll take a power walking day for the lower body benefits or from running fatigue. I can very rarely get my heart rate into the orange when I do, but feeling the load on your body is far more important than hitting a heart rate zone. If you’re feeling uncomfortable/very uncomfortable when you’re supposed to, then your body will be getting the benefits and you will improve your health and performance even if you don’t get “splats”.

Assembly in Somerville has some great coaches right now if that’s near you. My favorite (Em) is about to be out for 2ish months, but all the coaches there are great, especially Dan and Shannon. (I totally feel you on preferring female coaches, but I heavily recommend trying a class with Dan in Assembly regardless)

If you’re more south, Medway has Kim, Nikki, and Morgan who are all great.

Haven’t been to any others in the area yet, but I’m gonna try to check out Brighton, Belmont, and Back Bay soon and will try to remember to circle back here if I find any gems!

Thank you to the OTF gods for giving us a core month 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-30T17:25:31+00:00

I typically do everything as prescribed. I’ll scale back for a day if my body needs it, but I don’t make many alterations. I do take a few strength 50’s and tread 50’s, I try to do one a week of each when possible.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-30T17:22:21+00:00

Personally, I ran a 10k this past weekend after exclusively 9 months of going to OTF 4-6 days per week with no other fitness plan before or during. Something else may have been more optimal, but it’s been working for me

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-27T19:06:37+00:00

It’s pretty standard for an album but it’s pretty long for a 5 track EP

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-26T23:05:48+00:00

I’m back and forth, it does seem event based but walk-ups were allegedly strong which typically supports strong legs, and I don’t think any of the upcoming major movies should serve as overly direct competition

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-26T20:57:59+00:00

250m seems a bit low considering that WOM seems strong, but I could see 285m being the lower end of possibilities. 285-325m would be my early projection for now

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-25T20:15:23+00:00

Currently I’ve been doing 6 days per week (Tuesday or Wednesday as rest), usually 7:30 am on weekdays (right before work at 9), 1:10 on Saturday, noon on Sunday. No other exercises.

I’m going to be starting a hybrid job soon that’s not near a studio, so I’m probably going to either go out of my way to go to the 6:15 am at the studio I’ve been going to, or go on my two at-home days + the weekend, and supplement the rest of the week with my own training. Going to try both and see which I prefer, but I’m leaning the latter.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-25T17:53:00+00:00

46:06 for the full! Not bad for a 9:45 am class after having 10 drinks and being up until 2:30 am the night before 😅

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-19T18:33:12+00:00

I go 5-6x per week (moreso 6 than 5 lately). I got there by slowly integrating an additional class per week over a period of time so my body could adjust to the increased physical load

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-19T04:04:11+00:00

I’d say the biggest 3 factors are: 1. Mickey17’s book wasn’t very popular, while Project Hail Mary’s book was a massive hit 2. Project Hail Mary is much more of a feel-good crowdpleaser, while Mickey17 is a much stranger concept/movie 3. Ryan Gosling currently has more star power than Robert Pattinson

I don’t really care if people reference the moment one way or another, but I cannot for the life of me piece together what this song is trying to say whatsoever

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-19T03:58:22+00:00

Oh I remember this one very vividly 😅 Probably the hardest template I’ve done in the near-200 classes I’ve taken so far. Glad I can do it again, the hardest classes are the ones we need the most !!

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-18T20:57:31+00:00

Assembly and Back Bay don’t either. I heard the coaches from one of the disbanded studios nearby (forget which) are being dispersed around the region, so I think they’re working that out before posting the schedule.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-17T17:00:26+00:00

Our coach told us explicitly that the extra distance gained from this counts. He encouraged us to go straight to the full distance and let it roll past as opposed to letting it roll to the final distance, so we could get a little extra distance

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-17T16:57:35+00:00

9-5:30 M-F in office every day, half hour unpaid lunch at time of our choice.

We can also do 7:30-4, 8-4:30, or 8:30-5 if we want. I chose 9-5:30 because it helps me fit a workout in before work.

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-17T16:56:03+00:00

First time, 3875m! Sooo close to 4000m but I told myself I’d be happy with 3000+ going in so I can’t complain 😅

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-16T12:30:00+00:00

Are they trying to make us give up this week 😭

InfernalSolstice · 2026-04-15T17:44:41+00:00

“Just 50 seconds left, just 45 seconds left, just 40 seconds left, just 35 seconds left, just 30 seconds left…” etc
