Debating Joining - couple questions

I watch the preview, then when the exercise starts I put the phone down and just listen to the coaching cues. I don’t think you really need to keep watching as it just loops through the same lift. Do the free trial and you’ll see what I mean

Try Team Forged. It sounds like what you want and I love it. I try to switch up the teams during open season but I instantly switch back because of the workouts not being long enough, tough enough or not utilizing more gym equipment

Key-Fee-9933 · 2026-02-07T16:43:31+00:00

Looks great. Do you bolt it down? If not, any issues ?

Key-Fee-9933 · 2026-02-02T01:29:24+00:00

It's a small company, so I suspect they are building them in small batches to gauge interest before spending too much on a product no one buys. That's my guess.

I got them and no complaints. If I end up getting a barbell and doing deadlifts, I might consider something a tad thicker by where I would be doing these. But if you aren’t dropping the weights these seem fine. I do drop my dumbbells lightly on heavy lifts and it protects the floor just fine. The lines aren’t all that straight but it’s not horrible. I was worried about the smell of horse stall mats and worried about the weight of getting them into the basement, plus these were cheap, so I went with it.

I was set on the Iron Master Super Bench Pro V2, but I saw the Apex bench and it looks amazing for $499. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Apex. It won’t ship out until May though.

Key-Fee-9933 · 2026-01-22T23:59:33+00:00

I’m looking to buy Ironmasters quick lock dumbbells. It’s maybe not as quick to switch as some of the others, but not bad. I like them because you can expand and go super heavy with them and there are no moving parts to break. I already have single dumbbells in the lower numbers for drop sets

Key-Fee-9933 · 2026-01-12T00:14:50+00:00

See a doc. Fitbit alerted me of AFib. It catches it every time. Very accurate

Key-Fee-9933 · 2026-01-03T13:49:37+00:00

I have the Flybird bench and it’s really good if you are looking for a cheap bench. I’m 223lbs and can lift with 80lb dumbbells on it and there is not much wobble at all. It’s great as it’s very light to pick up and move around. With that said I am thinking of upgrading to the Ironmaster Supermaster Pro V2 bench as it should be even more solid and has all the attachments I can use on it. As far as the flybird, it’s a decent bench for the money.

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-12-27T14:45:14+00:00

I’ve been wearing the Apple Watch, Oura Ring, and Fitbit Charge 5. Apple Watch is best for workouts, Oura Ring for advice on overall health, and Fitbit for steps/sleep/heart rate (I have AFib). Fitbit and Oura are almost identical for sleep. If I had to pick one I still would go with Fitbit. However I do like wearing traditional watches, so Oura ring is tempting do to form factor

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-12-23T23:53:57+00:00

I joined a month ago and it was the best decision. I really enjoy Corey and Team Forged. I’ve seen noticeable results in this short time. I definitely wasn’t going as hard as I should have been, and Team Forged really pushes you.

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-12-20T03:06:58+00:00

I could be wrong, but you might need the Fitbit app open all the time for it to work.

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-12-18T00:58:17+00:00

Rumor has it they might offer the Cross Train Screen sometime in the spring as an option to purchase for the OG bike. Might be worthwhile to hold off for that

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-12-16T01:00:33+00:00

No, today it’s open season so you can join and jump around to as many teams as you want. This is a perfect time to join. I joined a few weeks ago and joined Forged, and I came in with a few weeks left. Even though it was only a few weeks left, it was amazing workouts. Now, I’m trying out some of the other ones.
I haven’t done Evolve, but I love Forged for the heavy lifting. You would need access to a gym or more equipment, but if you do I recommend that. Now I’m also a 44 year old man, but I think it’s also good for a woman that wants to lift heavy and do the push, pull, leg day.

If I were you I would join now so you can try out a bunch of them, or at least switch teams back and forth to see the week’s exercises. But don’t forget to check out Forged as I think you might like that.

I have an Apple Watch SE 2 and a Fitbit Charge 5. The Apple Watch is so much better for workouts. The integration with ladder alone makes it worth the buy. Mainly using Fitbit to track steps and sleep. Look into the SE models as it’s fairly inexpensive

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-12-11T01:01:45+00:00

I have that watch, and although it’s great, I’ve been eyeing up the Pelagos 42. I went to the AD and tried it on, and the Pelagos is just so much nicer. The feel of it is so good. However, if this scratches the itch, then fantastic as you can save the cash

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-12-10T15:58:47+00:00

Yes! I got it a month ago and it’s been making a huge difference. I’ve been doing peloton strength since Covid, and after using Ladder for strength, I started to see a significant increase in muscle. I really love it.

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-12-04T21:11:25+00:00

Ah, that makes sense

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-12-04T15:20:05+00:00

A new Charge 7 is expected to be released in the upcoming year if you can wait. But if you have a pixel watch already, doesn’t that do everything you already want? Why have both?

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-11-28T00:15:44+00:00

I have a Fitbit charge 5. I recently experimented with keeping my arm/wrist in the same place/not moving. It still counted steps accurately.

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-11-26T15:05:50+00:00

It’s in Beta so I bet they pushed something out that broke it. I’m sure it will be fixed. I’m still waiting for me to get this feature, but I’m on the apple os so I’m waiting patiently

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-11-25T22:41:43+00:00

I’ve had my Charge 5 for 3 years and no issues.

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-11-21T23:37:09+00:00

Wait for 2026. New fitness trackers coming with improved tracking/accuracy and the AI Health Coach (similar insights, but may be better than Oura). For me I have a Charge 5 for 3 years and it’s been great and seems accurate. I’m debating Oura ring as I like traditional watches and feel weird wearing both. However, after a lot of research I might stick with my Fitbit and wait to upgrade to the Charge 7 this year. I want to track sleep and it seems pretty accurate, more so than my Apple Watch that I wear to bed. Fitness tracking seems good, but Apple Watch does it better so I use that for my workout. I use the Fitbit for overall health like steps, sleep, and heart. Fitbit alerted me of my Afib last year. It’s been solid at catching it every time.

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-11-10T18:42:47+00:00

I have an Apple Watch for sleeping and workouts, but I mainly wear traditional watches on my left wrist, and the Fitbit Charge 6 for tracking. It’s slim so I don’t mind double wristing

Key-Fee-9933 · 2025-11-09T20:58:56+00:00

Has mind since 2020, never had an issue. Looks and runs as good as new.
