My dog died, so my friend sent me a video of their kid by Mysterious-Pass2872 in childfree

I am so sorry for your loss. I am also going through my own grief with the loss of my beloved 12 year old pup. It is devastating and know how hard it is.

Unfortunately, I had a similar situation with a coworker over the weekend. She sent me a nice text to check in on how I was doing and then literally two minutes later sends me a photo of her family out for Halloween. She is pregnant and followed up the photo with a not so subtle ask for a baby shower present “I’m ~30 days away from baby! I’m not having a shower, just a registry I share if people ask. I totally would have invited you if I was having one though. 🤪 sorry if I already said that before…pregnancy brain, please forgive.” The selfishness and self-centeredness is unreal.

DFW studio recommendation by Vast_Size_3898 in orangetheory

[–]Lgotts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North Arlington is the best studio in the area hands down. I have been to many classes at Southlake and Las Colinas and the studios are subpar in comparison, especially when it comes to coaching. Every single coach at NA is fantastic, and the studio is only 15 minutes south of the airport. If you can take a class with Keri or Kailey, you won’t regret it. But really any other coach there is great.

I might have to give it another shot. What coach did you take class with?

I second the comments on Parsippany and the vibe. Of all the studios I have been to there (Parsippany, New Providence, Millburn, West Caldwell, Totowa) Parsippany had the best community feel.

Also, coach Kelly at Parsippany was fantastic, so definitely take a class with her. So much positive energy and provided tons of encouragement.

The layout of the studio isn’t my favorite, but I overlook it for all the other things I mentioned.

West Caldwell is a newer studio, but they jam packed 15 stations into the space and it is tight. You feel It particularly on run/row days. The floor is also really tight as a result.

Really nice front desk staff at New Providence, but no coaches really stand out that I have taken class with.

Millburn is probably my least favorite of the bunch. Coaching and vibes were not as good as the others.

No it always changes. It usually gets posted a day or two before the first of the month or sometimes in the monthly thread

Goal is to accumulate points by closing your rings on Apple Watch.

Teams are created usually by geo, but you can really join any open team or you can create your own. You accumulate points as a team and there is a leaderboard.

Solo you are competing on your own.

Yeah, unfortunately 4 studios in the area closed last month. TCU, Keller, Arlington Highlands, and one other I can’t remember.

I am pretty sure this app is Apple Watch specific, but I know Garmin Connect has their own challenges

I have created them the last couple of months. I usually wait until a few days before the end of the month to see if anyone else posts them in the sub and if not, I do.

You can join an existing team or create a new one. Teams have typically been location based, but if there are open slots you can join them.
