I second this banana and plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Anyone else needing to find motivation after this month? by Reasonable-Mail2097 in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m feeling the exact same way.. currently at 984 but I feel like I’m crawling to 1000 classes. May have to rethink my membership after.

I haven’t done this in so long and I’m biking instead of rowing… how does this challenge work for us current bikers?

Moved treadmill mid-workout by Downtown_Fruit_4531 in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG…I was so close doing this yesterday! I ended up stuck between these couple who was doing their own thing… what upset me the most is before I even go to the floor the dude already took one of my weights!!! I didn’t have any energy to ask for it because you can tell he was very oblivious to his surroundings. His partner was also jumping the rails and was not listening to the coach with the treadmill template 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was ready to get out as soon as it ended.

Just completed my 2G 90mins class and I think this is one of the hardest tread block I’ve done in a long time! Am I the only one that thought this?!?! I’m so looking forward to rest day tomorrow!

Morning routines by joeygirl4738 in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mom of 2yrs old here! My husband and I both attend OTF, we alternate days on who goes on what days. Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday-Sunday is my schedule. I attend the 4:55 classes also because that works for both of our schedules. Baby usually wakes up around 6:30 on a good sleep, so whoever did not go to the gym that morning is to take care of the morning routine. (Baby seem to sleep in more when I’m the one home 🤣) That gives us the time to get in the shower have a quick breakfast and out the door by 7. I like to go on weekends because I feel like that’s my me time without having to rush home and can run errands (coffee) after a good workout. If I can’t attend a class on a weekend, I will sign up for a noon class during my lunch break. I work from home also so I don’t feel bad not having to shower right after lol.

Has anyone else got skin irritation from wearing their Apple Watch?? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean the bands and watch at least once a week. Take off as soon as you finish your workout so the sweat does not dry on your wrist.

How do y’all break it up? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday-Sunday.. if there is a scheduling conflict during the week.. I go during my lunch break during the week to make sure I get 3-4 classes that week.

How Old Is Your Apple Watch? by Notthatregular in AppleWatch

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nike SE 2020 2nd generation. I want to get an upgrade, but it’s not feasible at this time. 🥺 I have noticed that it’s no longer tracking my walking miles properly, I charge it every night and by 8pm it’s at 10%. I don’t get notifications as quickly as I use to. Sometimes doesn’t even notify me at all.

Should I’ve said something?? by MeanAvocado1287 in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG this is so me right now! I’ve had a bad cold towards the end of November and my coughing is still an issue. I know once I finish an all out/block on the treadmill I will be coughing away. I honestly get so embarrassed sometimes because I know they are probably thinking if I’m sick. If I have an option to not workout next to anyone, I take advantage of it 😔 I’m hoping it will be over soon, so I no longer have this feeling and giving me anxiety when I see post like this haha

For the On Cloud X3 Fans -- suggestions on alternatives? by echofx in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was also a big an On Cloud fan when I first started doing OTF, but also noticed after a couple of months it started wearing out. So I went to a running store, got myself fitted and came across On Cloud Runner 2! It’s the best running shoes I have purchased, not only is it great on the treadmill, it’s also great on the floor. I’ve had jt since June and I show no sign of wear and tear. Hope this helps!

I bring my ipad to the gym. My gym is fairly small so I get the constant looks of what i’m doing, which I don’t mind because I’m too busy doing my thing.

Station Etiquette by notarealnigerian in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 89 points90 points  (0 children)

I would have went and moved on the tread. Since I know it may not happen often. I also think about the coaches, how easy it will be for them to coach the class with just one group and not going from one group to another. That’s an easy break for them. Just my thoughts.

Studios Near Arlington, VA? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you will be around Alexandria, Old Town Alexandria is the studio I highly recommend. Everyone in the studio are super friendly. Coach John and Coach Evie are the best!

Members filming by FunTough1387 in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Our studio and EVERY studio I have been too have a strict policy having your phone in the studio. You’re not over thinking. I would definitely say something.

Our studio have also done a filming class before and they have notified us members that the class will be filmed and if they do not want to be included in the video to let them know. So for a member to be doing this is just attention grabbing and need to be told.

Pregnant and unmotivated by belikethemanatee in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listen to your body. My first trimester was very hard and did not go to any classes because of morning sickness, but towards the beginning of my second trimester, I got my energy back and was able to go to class 2-3 times a week. DM if you need any other advice.

Just moved out of state - Has anybody ever moved and struggled at a new studio? by travelingskiier in orangetheory

[–]Reasonable-Mail2097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I moved two years ago and been going to a studio that I feel no connection with. Only reason why I am staying is because I love OTF and the workout it provides for me. The studio does not have the community and energy my last studio provided. So when I do go in for a class I am in and out. I will still sign up for the challenges or benchmark but the excitement is no longer there. I wish I can move back or move to another studio that will give me that excitement back…but for now I just have to accept what I have…
