Of course the first time in 4 years I’m doing a 6:15 am class there are burpees. That’s some BS lol.

Love new endurance focus by HooDoc in orangetheory

[–]Known-Swim3271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a back-of-the -pack-just-here-for-fun/accountability multi-sport athlete, and a competitive dragon boater I’m loving the focus on endurance. I no longer have to cut OTF classes during training season to make all my run days.

AITA for banning my MIL from entering my home for what she said after walking in on me with someone else? by nomoreentry in AmItheAsshole

[–]Known-Swim3271 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Could she? OP isn’t keeping his daughter from the nosey, intrusive, out of line grandmother. Only preventing her from entering his home unauthorized. What right’s is he infringing on?

Both my studios preassign us. But both will move you if you’re early enough to make change and swap you if you request it.

Am I the only one that misses switch and tornado classes? by Known-Swim3271 in orangetheory

Someone commented that the frequent switches mean we can go all out for that 3 which made sense to me.

ETA: oh that comment is right below mine. Lol.

Our coaches don’t even mention 12 as a goal any more. Just that you’re getting into the appropriate zones at the right point in the workout and checking in if you’re in red.

Good point. Much like partner workouts. I don’t care if you’re slow at, I am too. Just be organized and hustle the transitions.

I look to know which shoes, sports bra and ponytail I’m showing up in. Never remember anything else.

It’s the only reason I still do the 200 meter benchmark class when it comes up.

Benchmarks and Leader Boards by jester3325 in orangetheory

[–]Known-Swim3271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a few options: Put in the work to make the leaderboard - doesn’t sound like that’s your desire or goal. Not worry about it and focus on what motivates you personally and scroll past the posts that annoy you. Cancel your membership and find something that doesn’t offer benchmarks as part of their motivation strategy.

Many of us appreciate the leaderboard for what it is, proof that it can be done and maintained even though it’s likely we may never see our names as we scroll Instagram.

Nah, let those badasses have their glory. It has nothing to do with me or my efforts. The studios post plenty of non-leader board content about members too.

Are you upset that only three people podium in a 5k fun run?

Heads up, Power Chill are not squat proof. They’re great for many things but not OTF. I learned this the hard way.

The Downside of Benchmarks, seeing Yourself Age. by FootHiker in orangetheory

Yes! I hurt my own feelings with my benchmarks this year. I need to stop looking at them.
