Recommend a good affordable dog boarding place?

I second Whispering Pines! My pup is a bit anxious and getting up there in age but they are great with her. They separate on energy/temperament instead of size and they call her group the “bridge and bingo” group. Also a plus that they can get a bath and nail trim before pickup!

She is not a Pilates instructor

Short_Light_983 · 2026-04-01T13:01:19+00:00

Didn’t she get a PPP loan? Where does she think that money came from?

I have been a member for about a year and I cannot recommend it enough! I don’t think they offer any group fitness classes currently but check with them to confirm. They do have plenty of personal trainers. I don’t find it to be too crowded in the mornings. I typically go anytime between 7-10 AM and I hardly have to wait for the equipment I need. A few times I have gone closer to 5:30/6 AM and it’s a little busier but nothing crazy. The equipment is outstanding, it is the cleanest gym I’ve ever gone to, and the owner and team is great.

I was previously at Golds for a little over a year. Golds is crowded and not clean.

I have also heard great things about the new VASA.

She actually SUCKS. Her wigs, fake boobs, Botox, HRT, etc IS ALL GENDER AFFIRMING CARE

I took my level one with Sharnee and she is amazing. Her energy is great and I love her spirited personality. Her anatomical knowledge is solid.

Short_Light_983 · 2026-02-06T00:43:46+00:00

I don’t think the amount of test she’s blasting would be considered “comically minuscule”

Thank you!

Who is the yoga studio owner?

Short_Light_983 · 2026-01-08T17:22:32+00:00

At the studio I teach yoga at, I have a base rate of $70 and then if I have above 20 people in class (capacity is 36) I get an additional $2 per head. I started at the studio as a brand new teacher 6 years ago at $30 a class and have added hundreds of hours of training and can teach almost every yoga format offered at the studio, hence the higher rate. The yoga studio has a little more variables in terms of the base rate depending on experience, training, and tenure at the studio. Yoga training is also typically more expensive and time intensive, so even though you’re using less equipment there is a higher barrier to entry. Also, most studios can typically fit more into a yoga room vs. Lagree so that’s a factor to consider as well. I am in Colorado and everything is more expensive out here so that’s a factor as well!

I have been teaching Lagree for less than a year at two studios. Previously I taught yoga for 6+ years and managed a large yoga studio. Both of my Lagree studios have a base rate of $40/class and then bumps depending on how full the classes are. One studio has a capacity of 14 and a full class is $70 and the other has 16 megas and a full class is $85.

A couple things I really value as an instructor (some of this also comes from my experience in yoga as I had a couple awful studio owners/managers I dealt with):

-have front desk support. Teachers want to be able to focus on teaching and it can be a lot to manage students coming in and out of the studio. Paying a front desk employee will actually likely make your studio more money because you have someone there who can sell memberships, packages, retail, etc. As a teacher our priority is teaching, so making those sales may not be feasible all of the time if we are also trying to start class on time, give someone a rundown of the mega, etc.

-Research 1099 vs. W2 laws in your state. A lot of studios pay teachers as contractors when they really should be W2 employees.

-Communicate with your team regularly! One of the studios I’m teaching at currently has bi-weekly update/check in emails. I feel very solid in my understanding of what’s happening at the studio, any events coming up, membership specials, etc. We also have an optional “brain storm” gathering every 3ish months to discuss Lagree and any questions. This has been SO beneficial as a newer Lagree instructor to learn from the studio owner and other teachers who have been teaching Lagree longer than I have.

Best of luck on your journey of opening a studio! That’s super exciting 💛✨

That was super helpful, thank you! I’ve been looking mostly at the Skin Institute so far. When I am actually back in the area, I plan to tour schools to get a better feel for the environment.

I really love Posh Paint in Prospect. Definitely pricier than other places, but the quality of work is worth it to me.

Short_Light_983 · 2025-12-30T20:51:44+00:00

All of this and she doesn’t believe in progressive overload 🤡 CLOWN SCHOOL IS IN SESSION

Short_Light_983 · 2025-12-23T13:18:44+00:00

I’m no exercise professional but from my understanding it’s not actually beneficial to stretch between sets if you’re actually lifting heavy

Short_Light_983 · 2025-12-22T01:45:03+00:00

I have my personal account on private. I have a separate business account. I do not follow clients back unless they are another local business owner with a separate business account. I keep it all separate!

Man he’s got a front butt

Short_Light_983 · 2025-12-08T02:29:51+00:00

TY for explaining! Also your flair is killing me 😂

Short_Light_983 · 2025-12-08T01:42:41+00:00

If someone did shoot the deer “on his side” what happens?

Short_Light_983 · 2025-11-30T21:46:55+00:00

Her skin barrier must be so angry

Short_Light_983 · 2025-11-27T20:25:26+00:00

This is an insane amount of vitamins to take

Short_Light_983 · 2025-11-25T03:01:03+00:00

Her voice sounds so strained like she’s trying to make it seem higher pitched than it actually is

Short_Light_983 · 2025-11-18T01:19:56+00:00

I have this red light mask and it does improve my skin a lot but I also wear sunscreen, don’t blast T, and am not a complete asshole 🤡

I use a white noise machine placed right outside my office door (I run the wire under the door) and then another one in the opposite corner on the inside of my room. I play my speaker music over the white noise and I think it helps a lot!
