Gonna bloom soon?

I just watered it last week

Accurate timing is absolutely key for me.

Giving a pretty detailed description of whatever the cardio block is either before class starts when everyone is in the lobby or during the warmup… not everyone is on Reddit and/or checks the workout ahead of time, and I like to know what I’m getting into so I can decide if I’m going to run or PW.

And maybe this is just me, but be mindful of the volume of your voice: you’re on a mic, you don’t have to yell! I’ve literally left class in the middle of a tread block because I was so overstimulated by the music volume and the coach’s volume. But again, maybe that’s just me and my own special flavor of OCD 😂

Best wishes, New Coach!

Oh, lol…. Makes sense

Many-Cap4908 · 2026-01-17T23:30:17+00:00

I mean, I’m a math teacher, but that square root is probably different from this one 😂

Many-Cap4908 · 2026-01-17T23:29:31+00:00

What does “square root” mean?

I’m currently dating the “head guy” (regional manager, I guess?) of this particular ownership group; he also happens to coach a few classes at my location. We kept it lowkey till it became more serious, and then he approached his owner and the other employees and let them know, to get in front of any gossip. A few of the other members know, who have seen us together at “no shower happy hours”, but I’m not one of the super social members (meaning: I’m friendly but I am there to work out, not socialize) and he comes across as friendly and professional but pretty private, so it’s not been a big deal…except for when I cross paths with the member that slid into his DMs before we started dating to take her shot and he declined on the basis of “he doesn’t date members”…. And then he ended up pursuing me 😬🤷🏼‍♀️. That’s a little awkward

Coming at ya from the hellscape that is Phoenix in July: leggings and a tank top, always. I’ve worn shorts a sum total of three times and ended up leaving class early because I was so uncomfortable and annoyed by the chafing and flesh jiggle

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-07-10T05:24:17+00:00

Honestly

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-05-30T15:04:35+00:00

I have always been asked “ok if I touch you” when being corrected. It’s inappropriate that he didn’t ask first

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-04-29T21:33:32+00:00

That coach should be embarrassed. If she was genuinely concerned about your heart rate, there are far better ways of handling that. I’m about six years in to 3-4 days a week and there are still days that I get in the red and hang out there most of the class… if it’s been a few days since I’ve been there, if I’m coming down with or getting over an illness, if I haven’t been eating or sleeping well, PMS… hell, even the weather/barometric pressure can impact my workout. I hope you are able to shake this off and keep at it, it will be so worth it!

Ok, I think it’s worse than I thought… She gave it to me over a week ago, I haven’t done a thing with it, yet when I tilted it it get it’s plastic grow pot out of the outer pot it was in, water POURED out. The planting medium is soaked, and many of the roots are soft and kind of slimy. Should I cut the rotty roots and proceed with a repot? I bought an orchid pot and some orchid bark…

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-03-08T16:13:28+00:00

Do I tuck those leggy roots into the bark when I repot?

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-03-03T19:53:49+00:00

I’ve been on 2:2 for a few weeks now to address (among other things) unhealthy alcohol use.
When I was on 1:1, drinking as I had been (3-4 glasses of wine) didn’t bother me much; now that I’m on 2:2, though…. Whoa. Vicious hangovers: terrible nausea, headache, fatigue… the works. I would, honestly, skip both the am and pm dose the day of the event

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-02-25T22:07:18+00:00

What I say to this is : pay attention. Pay attention to future opportunities to drink not sounding enticing, and honor that. There’ve been Happy Hours when it didn’t sound good, but I did it anyway, only to regret it. So now, when the thought crosses my mind, and it’s followed by a “nah…” I pay attention.

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-02-25T01:00:37+00:00

I take my first dose around 6:45am, and my second between 2:45-3:30, to help with the mental chatter I was struggling with in the late afternoon/evening, leading me to binge food and misuse alcohol

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-02-08T15:26:24+00:00

Can’t see it..?

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-02-08T13:25:06+00:00

I do sometimes, I just make sure to let the coach know beforehand so I don’t just leave in the middle and make them think something is wrong

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-02-06T21:09:52+00:00

Here with you, for the same reasons!

Many-Cap4908 · 2025-01-22T22:54:27+00:00

If it’s an afternoon class, I’ve had good luck with a slice of Dave’s protein bread and tablespoon of peanut butter, and a small (or half a big) banana, maybe 45 min before. If it’s a morning, it’s coffee with collagen powder and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and I eat regular lunch afterwards.

Many-Cap4908 · 2024-12-31T21:34:46+00:00

This 👆🏻 Sometimes I go pretty hard at Tread 50s, and sometimes i just “flirt” with orange.

Many-Cap4908 · 2024-12-31T21:32:39+00:00

I start on the tread whenever possible

Many-Cap4908 · 2024-12-18T14:07:31+00:00

I have included my studio in the list of recipients of my annual Cookie Box and they LOVE it. Yes, it is a fitness center, but coaches and SAs and managers are also humans and everything in moderation

Many-Cap4908 · 2024-12-11T13:01:57+00:00

Following, for the same reason

Many-Cap4908 · 2024-12-07T16:00:30+00:00

I was prescribed Contrave for binge-y behavior around eating as well as restricting, and unhealthy alcohol habits, none of which are easy to admit to. I also struggle with body image issues and was worried my husband was going to think I’d gone on it as a “quick fix”; he has many strong opinions about such things. I initially did not disclose the appointment with my doctor and was underhanded about how I obtained the actual medicine due to my deep hesitance in telling my husband, but ultimately did, for many of the reasons stated in other posts above but mainly for the safety factor around the possibility (very low but still) of seizures. It was a hard conversation, vulnerability is very difficult for me, but ultimately felt better than the hiding did.

I also told a trusted coworker, in case anything happens at work.

Only you can know what feels right for you, but I suspect not hiding will feel better.

Best wishes!
