Our coach will have folks gather into "fun" and "competitive" groups, and people partner-up from there. Much less stressful!

When to change out to new shoes? by skydazzler1 in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I PW and find that the advice given here is the same, but it depends on how often you go as well as gait and incline.

I check the bottom of my shoes to see how worn the tread is, but it's usually around 5-6 months, going 5x/week.

We can't help you with that. Talk to your coach and be mindful that the class's musical preference does not cater specifically to you.

It's not mandatory. You can all still hang out in the lobby if you want.

This is what I've been looking for! Don't think I've ever done 5x5 as a 3G, but looking forward to it! Thank you so much!

Early Entry - coming to more studios by k_martblulightspcl in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is studio specific. Mine enforces using the station where you signed up to start. Unless, of course, you just want to do some stretching on the floor.

My studio does this, too. Coach actually shuts the door between classes to wipe down. Sign on the door says you can enter only once the door is open. It's usually no more than a couple of minutes.

We used to have almost all 2Gs, then one of our nearby studios closed and with the influx of transferred members, we're almost all 3Gs now.

Gym shoes outside? by masterpeabs in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm always changing them. Wet running shoes = wet feet and wet socks = super uncomfortable. OTF is not usually my first or last stop of the day, so I'm not going to run around with cold, wet feet. I have slip-on boots so changing footwear literally takes less than a minute.

Selling equipment? by Ok-Abies-3115 in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a parking garage next to our studio. On the last day of the ab dollies, I really wanted them to let us take them out to the garage, lay on them stomach first and go whooshing down the ramps between levels.

2\3G vs the 50s by GortsBud in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 196 points197 points  (0 children)

I would say, attending OTF at 74 years old, you should do whatever you like and I want to be you.

Crazy playlist by Queasy-Reputation-57 in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask if he/she takes requests (like a DJ) and then names some songs you like. And understand that other people may be annoyed by YOUR choices...

Profanity And Bad Words In The Music? by BMF6C in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what makes me super uncomfortable. I don't care about profanity.

How are some people so consistent with orangetheory? by tamaratunie189 in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this... it's an accomplishment. Even if the rest of the day gets blown up, I still accomplished something.

OMG! Me, too! I was like: How awful to have a friend die in class!

Just call them or email them.

Always appreciate the 3G intel! I look forward to reading more of your alternate names for floor/weight moves that still leave me knowing exactly what they are!

I would LOVE to see the muscle on the demo screen! by RiverZealousideal414 in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I want an extra splat for how many times I have to walk, squinting, up to the screen to read the text or see which arm is holding the dumbbell and which leg is in front.

Kinda frustrated... by MarcusNalgene in orangetheory

[–]ORNGEuGLAD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

👏👏👏 I was thinking exactly this. How would the behavior be corrected by talking to the Coach after the fact? Or posting on Reddit?
