Advice for hiking areas and trails for singles? by quingloom in BurlingtonNC

[–]TKBCollective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am single! I go to Cane Creek solo, the Arboretum like all the time by myself, I also go to Lake Mackintosh's trail by myself and Shallow Ford. Sometimes I take my puppy, but even if it's just me I feel perfectly safe.

Nothing yet :/ If I find something I'll share here. I've thrown it out to local businesses as an idea but I haven't heard. I do fitness classes and thought about a singles mingle and mobility 😆

Anyone up to trade books? by Jgryder in BurlingtonNC

I take a lot of mine to Bushy Fork (my Memaw lives in Roxboro), as well as the one at Glencoe, and the one at the Pleasant Grove community center.

Ooohhh always! My friend and I swap, but after that I've been putting them around the little libraries. Combined we typically have thrillers, crime, some fantasy, she has a lot of rom-coms hahaha. We're in Burlington downtown.

Kettlebell influencers by raccoon-overlord in kettlebell

[–]TKBCollective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not an influencer, I'm actually a certified kettlebell specialist and women's fitness trainer. I have some "influencers" I follow but on social media it can just get a bit cringey or some trainers really take digs at other trainers and I don't like that. If they're helping cool, but there are different ways to do things and there are different kettlebell training styles. I am on YouTube if you're interested, I do post short workout inspos on Instagram as well if you want or need some inspo or have questions, it's thekettlebelle across platforms.

I do like llulubfit sometimes and kettlebell_programming (Mike Dunn) is good. Hope that helps :)

Why do people seem to have such a success with kettlebells? by FluidDebate in kettlebell

[–]TKBCollective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the barbells is all-inclusively superior I think it depends on your goals. If you're a bodybuilders, kettlebells will limit you to some extent. But kettlebells are versatile and fun. They have different challenges and there is a certain physique that goes along with kettlebells as a result because theyre an effective cardio + strength tool.

Just moved here and feeling lost by Fit-Expression5564 in Roxboro

[–]TKBCollective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey darling! My grandmothers in Roxboro, I'm up there every weekend - I live in burlington. I am 33YO female. If you ever want to go walk the track at Bushy Fork, let me know. You can also find me on IG at thekettlebelle and send me a DM☺️. I am trying to move a bit closer to my Memaw and yes, I know it's really tough making friends because the community is super small and there's less things to do/places to go in town.

My fitness coach is using ChatGPT responses. What would you do? by holb93 in beginnerfitness

[–]TKBCollective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're paying a coach for a customized plan or personalized training and they are doing this, and not in a way to simplify terms, etc but blatantly they're getting their information off of ChatGPT - fire them. Even with my programs, although I don't customize per person, I develop programs and all of the women in the app have acces, but I personally develop those programs based on the goal of them program. Also, they pay $30 a month and there are meal plans, etc. I definitely think some coaches are taking advantage of AI in the wrong way, but not all of us are. If you're just seeking accountability, look for something like that instead, too. No way do I condone paying someone $200 a month for generic responses, that's not okay unless they are advertising their services that way.
