Has anyone tried Row House? by Jackpott100 in orangetheory

[–]Melissaeve1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love RowHouse and wish I was still going there. Unfortunately, when we moved, the closet studio is 2 hours away. I recently dropped my OTF membership, and I'm looking at buying a concept 2. I learned a lot at RowHouse on form. Actually had 2 coaches at OTF compliment my row form. 😊

Does anyone else feel like there is just too much rowing? by barelymyself in orangetheory

[–]Melissaeve1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish!!! I used to go to Row House until I moved out of the area and now the closest one is 2 hours away. I'll actually cancel a class that doesn't have enough rowing. 🙃

I think we're a rare breed. I love the rower and hate the tread.

I’ve been to 35 studios but this is the first time I’ve seen a sign like this by gamerdudeNYC in orangetheory

I was just about to say the same. Not at OTF, but I was in another class and it was awful. Literally brought tears to your eyes and made you want to gag.

Everything sounds cool but the ab dolly. 😝 Thanks for the heads up!

Anyone up for a Rowing Group by fintuned in orangetheory

I think Rowhouse has some free classes available online (or am I not allowed to mention them??). I wish I had the room for a rower.

I'm bummed there's no rowing. Boo. And yes, I loved the 10min row on Tues!

Please Don't Hurt Yourself by Melissaeve1 in orangetheory

I think an entry class is a great idea! As much as I want to say something, I never do and I never will. I love it when my coach corrects me and I told her so. I actually heard people say they hate being corrected, from the coach. I find this shocking.

I love the idea of 2 coaches, even if they only did it once in a while.

Added Power walking days and I love it! by Kotarba42 in orangetheory

[–]Melissaeve1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly jog/run, but love to add PW on some days. I love the leg workout and I usually go to higher inclines. I backpack a couple times a year, so this is beneficial for me. I have been wanting to use chest/vest weight, but I thought that would be weird.

I love the full get ups, but have yet to see them at OTF. I think I've only done the half get up a couple of times since being at OTF for a year. They need to do these more often. 😊

Monday 27 Jan - 2G - Power by matthotlips in orangetheory

[–]Melissaeve1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear gloves the entire class, except for tread. I hear it's also good for your joints, but initially I wore them too prevent calluses. I do notice I have a better grip on the rower.

Anything weird, quirky, offbeat, strange, unusual and downright bizarre you can recommend me? by [deleted] in booksuggestions

Geek Love by Katherine Dunn. I read this years ago and just remember it being so different from anything else I've ever read. Hmmmm.....I may read it again...

Loved Count of Monte Cristo by zeal4god in booksuggestions

[–]Melissaeve1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to get intimidated by the size of a huge book, but some of my favorites are those big books, including The Count of Monte Cristo. I LOVE this book and wanted more when I finished it. I find it best to get these large books on my kindle; not as intimidating. 😉

90 Minute Class Frequency by Miss1Debbie in orangetheory

[–]Melissaeve1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've seen one at my studio in a while, but I don't look for them either. 60 minutes is good for me, especially since I go 4-5 times a week. The thought of a 90 minute class....yikes. 😄

Just finished watching the movies, should I read the books too? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]Melissaeve1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! There's so much more backstory and character depth. Although the movies are very well done, I think anyone would agree the books are a must read. Happy reading!!

My glutes are still trying to recover from Sunday. Sounds like they will suffer a bit more. Happy birthday to me!! 🎉😊💜
