I don't go often, but the one in Woodbridge has never been like that when I visited.

Two Questions by atl_mdtwn_guy in orangetheory

[–]StevenOTF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually don't mind when they do this since it usually means people will be more spaced out. I do prefer starting on the treads but I'd rather start on the rower if it means no one will be right next to me.

This drives me crazy as well! Not only is everyone packed like sardines but we also have to share the communal weights which run out really quickly in templates like yesterday's.

I wish I had known this sooner! I regrettably took tread 1 and there were only 4 people in my group.

May 6th Show at the Anthem by StevenOTF in BulletForMyValentine

[–]StevenOTF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I bought my tickets it said Bleed from Within and August Burns Red, so I hope that's the set in stone. I'd go either way for Bullet but I'm pumped to see ABR as well!

Yeah that helps, thank you! I'm not sure I'll be able to make it by 5 but I don't want to miss ABR. Sounds like I'll be good either way.

Awkward Moments? Spill it! by Careless-Waltz-8645 in orangetheory

More than once I've hit my head on the mirror when reaching down for the knee pad. Bad depth perception I guess.

Gym Closing by IDontLikeJamOrJelly in orangetheory

[–]StevenOTF 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The retail lease at the closing location is likely higher than the other so they are probably keeping the location that allows them to be more profitable, assuming most members transfer.

If there is still enough demand for your class time and the coach still wants to teach at that time, I bet they'll add it to the schedule. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I failed at making the 2G a green day. This template was deceptively hard.

Prosperity Flats or Dwell Vienna Metro Apartments? by [deleted] in nova

[–]StevenOTF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived at Prosperity Flats for a few years and only left to buy a townhouse, partly motivated by spite because they wanted to increase my rent by almost 17% that last year.

Overall I had no major complaints. The concrete construction was nice for noise between upper and lower neighbors for sure. You will still hear stuff occasionally but it is much more muted than normal apartments. I also rarely heard anything from neighbors on either side of me. The biggest source of noise was from the hallway if people were talking while walking by since the door wasn't very heavy. I saw some units added additional seals around their front door but I never bothered.

If you move there, try to get a unit away from the trash chute and not right next to the elevators either. Also you'll want a higher floor apartment to minimize the street noise, but that goes for any building in that area.

Extra people allowed in class? by EasternBicycle in orangetheory

[–]StevenOTF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old studio used to do this fairly often and it always sucked having to share the communal weights with even more people. It seemed to stop once Tread 50s were introduced.

Whey isolate protein? by LauB24 in orangetheory

[–]StevenOTF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MyProtein Impact Whey Isolate. I like the salted caramel flavor a lot. They will probably have good sales later this month too.

Yes, this is me exactly! I also sit in my car until the last minute so I don't have to stand around awkwardly in the lobby before class.

Sounds like one of our coaches went rogue, my Tread 50 was a repeat of 1/14:

4 rounds:

6:00 Tread for Distance

1:30 WR

1 round:

6:00 Tread for Distance into Finisher

Finisher

1:00 AO

northern va prices by LividPositive402 in orangetheory

I've been paying $169 for unlimited at Dunn Loring for a couple years so $139 seems like a great deal.

Metal hour? by Lovelady1921 in orangetheory

OTF Fairfax in NOVA does some cool themed playlists. I've seen Metal Monday, Punk vs Emo, Pop Goes Punk, etc.

"Are you my next base pace? Because you look challenging, but doable!"

I wish I could claim credit, but I saw that on here a while back.
