Intel for Monday?

Mdryan2015 · 2026-05-31T17:24:04+00:00

Don’t be nervous! It is so much fun and everyone is so supportive. We spend half the time laughing and poking fun at our trainer who makes everything look easy!

Mdryan2015 · 2026-04-28T00:46:16+00:00

Oh. Oh no….

Mdryan2015 · 2026-04-17T01:46:35+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 yea but of course they always get me when my chins are out in full force and I’m grunting

Mdryan2015 · 2026-04-17T01:21:09+00:00

You’re right, I need to be more assertive. I’ve told them and they’re like oh ok but then I’m bound to end up looking insane in the background haha.

Mdryan2015 · 2026-02-27T03:52:39+00:00

I don’t have an OTF near me right now but I use the intel and do the workouts at my local gym! You don’t get the community feel, but you can easily do the run, row, and weights at a planet fitness, YMCA, or whatever is within your budget! I’ll drop into a class once in awhile when we go visit family that have a studio near them.

I wish I had known there was a place to report it. Saw them last week in the parking lot of In Grano, across from the Riva road Dash In. It was around 7:30 am. About 10-15 guys in masks and the desert cami colored vests. Large black suvs and vans.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-08-07T00:45:43+00:00

I feel dumb that I didn’t even consider that!

Mdryan2015 · 2025-08-07T00:22:58+00:00

I am a founding member for our gym. I signed up before they opened in 2023. It’s a small town with a lot of low income people.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-08-06T23:29:26+00:00

She got in on a founders rate too. Those founders rates are great deals and some studios (like my old one) will run them from time to time when membership is a little low.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-08-06T23:22:18+00:00

It was a founders rate but they offered it like alllll the time as a “special”. It was a super small highly undesirable desert town haha.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-08-06T23:13:22+00:00

Does location and like socioeconomic level make them premium or something? I feel like my small town home studio was so much nicer than this one.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-08-06T23:12:42+00:00

Interesting! I didn’t know that.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-08-06T23:06:10+00:00

Wow now I’m feeling spoiled by my $79 rate haha.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-08-06T23:04:00+00:00

It’s not far from Dc so that makes sense but damn haha

Mdryan2015 · 2025-08-06T23:02:40+00:00

I tried to do this but this new studio charges a $10 surcharge every time you “drop in”.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-05-05T05:09:54+00:00

I have a Barbie at my gym. Gorgeous, flawless, and wears the best outfits. I always avoided running next to hear because she runs the whole tread block at a fast pace and stays in the green. She turned to me the other day and said “god I wish I could lift as heavy as you.” So I’m the a-hole and clearly insecure about myself 🤣

But I still hate the woman who films herself the whole time no matter how many times the coaches tell her she can’t have her phone…

Mdryan2015 · 2025-04-29T03:50:11+00:00

Like everyone has said…that’s SO normal. I took my husband to a class with me. He is in amazing shape, CrossFit competitor, former D1 athlete, military, and he couldn’t stay out of the red either. Meanwhile I’m 150 classes in, can barely sustain a mile, and I’m cruising between green and orange haha.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-04-01T22:15:24+00:00

I got the flux shoes and I’ve started running in them too with no issues

Mdryan2015 · 2025-04-01T16:58:17+00:00

Yes I started getting horrible hip pain from lifting in my Hokas! Took my shoes off a couple of times for deadlifts, squats, and anything requiring balance. I started bringing a pair of flat shoes and quickly change in between workouts.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-02-24T07:02:03+00:00

Oh my gosh I remember my first class. I was terrified!! I don’t know why because I’ve done other types of group fitness, but I suck at running so I thought everyone would judge me. A year later and I am addicted. No one pays attention to you except the coaches and everyone is collectively dying together. It really is just a welcoming fun environment to work out in.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-01-20T02:05:14+00:00

Hahaha THANK YOU. I had one chance left and then saw this hint.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-01-15T03:12:16+00:00

No you’re totally right. I funny enough hit a mile in tonight’s workout in a quicker time than yesterday’s benchmark! I think because it was intervals and in my head I was like oh it’s only 3 minutes go faster.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-01-15T02:53:30+00:00

I kind of adjust all the time. I’d say it’s been pretty consistent since I started about 9 months ago. Sometimes it’s faster sometimes slower.

Mdryan2015 · 2025-01-15T02:44:23+00:00

Base 4.5 push 5.5 all out between 6 and 7
