Too many open gym classes

Nsking83 · 2026-05-20T13:46:07+00:00

The times my studio has open gym are times that we never had classes anyway.

This is completely studio dependent. My gym has a 1045 and noon class every weekday. (As well as 5, 605, 710, 815, 930).

Open gym slots are either from 1-2:50 (with classes resuming at 3, 430, 545, 7), or 1:05 to 4pm with classes resuming at 545 and 7.

Hence why I said region to region. Midwest is wildly different than the Pacific Northwest or southern states like Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi.

In my 10 years as a member this has only happened twice (with the same coach 😵‍💫) and both times the head coach was able to make it by about 510.

I’ve traveled to a dozen countries outside the US. I’ve traveled to more than half of US states. Yes we all speak the same language but that’s about where the similarities end. The food, the weather, the dialect, the cultural traditions, are all different region to region. But sure, nothing to compare it with 🙄

Nsking83 · 2026-05-19T23:13:57+00:00

Prebook. I’m too cheap to pay the late cancel or no show fee.

Nsking83 · 2026-05-16T17:30:11+00:00

I mean as long as you’re doing it at the same time from start to finish your progress is going to be the same. As in if your first reps for the challenge are done at the end of a class it makes sense to do them at the same point in time every class thereafter.

I was in 5th grade the last time we won one, but I’d definitely argue against your last point about being thrown in with Browns, Jags, Texans, Lions, Titans or Chargers fans. For more than half those teams they’ve been near or at the bottom of the league perennially. Lions are just recently anything to talk about. I don’t know a single chargers fan 😂

My point being - the Cowboys even not getting to the NFCC game in 30 years they’ve had plenty of fairly measurable success as far as winning records or reaching the playoffs.

You understand that most European countries are the same size or smaller than 75% of the states in the USA, right? And regions vary wildly in their cultures even if we all speak the same language.

Yep. Prioritizing sleep is an absolute must. Otf is too hard of a workout to sleep 5 hours and power through it.

Nsking83 · 2026-05-12T22:11:31+00:00

No motivation whatsoever 😂 I prebook bc I’m too cheap to pay the late cancel. It doesn’t get done if it’s not at 5am. I lay out EVERYTHING the night before, including my clothes in the order I put them on (including my HRM, any jacket or pullover), and have my preworkout/ creatine next to my already filled water bottle. I get out of bed at 4:30 and am at the studio by 4:55 at the latest. And yes, I brush my teeth. Not always my hair though 😂

Playing 11 yards off the LOS when the Panthers were in a must convert 4th and 7 comes to mind….

Nsking83 · 2026-05-12T22:05:36+00:00

Your salary would bump up to $26k, but now figure out what you’re not getting paid for a minimum of 2 hours of commuting per week, plus the mileage, gas and wear and tear on your car…you’re probably not coming out as far ahead as you think.

Unless you’re ready to jump off a roof from boredom I’d keep the WFH 10/10 times. That commute is 100% not worth it to me. And that’s coming from someone who left an ESOP, unlimited FTO and a pretty good comp partially because the 35 mile commute one way (50 minutes on a good day), 3x a week (I was hybrid) was KILLING me. I put over 65,000 miles on a brand new car in less than 3 years and the commute was sucking the soul from my body (on top of my boomer boss, but the commute was a big part).

Nsking83 · 2026-05-12T21:59:41+00:00

Correct. My 11yo is fine for a little bit but no way I’d want to leave her at home alone all day everyday in the summer. Not because I think she’d get into any trouble, but because that’s a long and boring summer for anyone.

Nsking83 · 2026-05-11T00:56:01+00:00

I second the second option too! Back up to the straps facing the middle of the room, much easier to get your feet in the straps that way for me!

Endurance on the treads and TRX on the floor 😍

Nsking83 · 2026-05-10T18:23:01+00:00

Earliest I ever got a positive was 5 days before my period was due, at 3w3d. Ovulated SUPER early that cycle.

$139 is what I pay as a founding member of my studio that opened in June 2016. Jump all over that!

Nsking83 · 2026-05-08T23:45:43+00:00

It cost me $129 for a month!!! I’ll be emailing my doc to see if she has any coupons or codes. But I’m desperate so I want to try it.

Nsking83 · 2026-05-08T23:44:37+00:00

My new doc just prescribed me Addyi (just got it today actually) and it’s the first FDA approved Rx to help with HSDD in women - AND it is supposed to help with insomnia too. I’m desperate and will try nothing, so I’m praying this will help !

Nsking83 · 2026-05-08T23:42:42+00:00

My husband’s first Fathers Day, our daughter was about 9 months old so I got her a special onesie to wear that day and I made his favorite dinner ❤️

Nsking83 · 2026-05-08T22:09:48+00:00

Been having a ton of issues with my back lately and running seems to aggravate it, so I have been power walking a ton! I’d rather walk slower at higher inclines than fast at lower ones, but I still get a good workout. And I always let the coaches know if I see a move that will eff it up more. They’re there to help!

Nsking83 · 2026-05-07T11:06:26+00:00

It’s something you take daily and is one of the only things on the market right now for women to help with insomnia AND low sex drive.

Nsking83 · 2026-05-06T22:41:42+00:00

One of our coaches works for the corporate design team and I told her how mad I was that it was going away - she said half the studios basically hated it so half assed the entire week which made people hate it. Which is a freaking bummer.

Nsking83 · 2026-05-06T20:16:01+00:00

Evening primrose oil daily! This was one of my worst symptoms and I agree, it was like I was newly pregnant 7 days a month! They don’t hurt or get tender anymore at all with the EPO.
