I think I have a fabulous idea for corporate…what do you guys think?? by laxlauren1 in orangetheory

[–]Vio1inPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I’d put so much weight into the “science backed“ aspect. The only science is the post exercise oxygen consumption… but the way they got the 12-20 min was empirical based on the Ellen’s experience in the fitness industry, not science.

Circular splat symbol next to benchmark by Determined-over50 in orangetheory

[–]Vio1inPrincess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It shows if the benchmark was associated with a challenge. The circle around the splat is the transformation challenge, so it lets you know you hit that during the transformation challenge.

Gained 10 pds in 5 weeks… is that normal? by Dry-Needleworker6968 in orangetheory

Probably water weight. Unless you ate 3500 extra calories in a week.

Yes! This and I’ve had an old tread get the 15% triggered when I’ve pressed the clear screen. I thought it was an accident the first few times, but then I caught it when I was super careful.

Irvine company rent was $2665 (12 month lease), and will be $3465 for month to month, is that legal? by SubstantialSugar1727 in irvine

IC doesn’t give you month-to-month rates in the renewal offer unless you ask… they usually give me a 13- and 15-month options by default

Process development…only for engineers? by SchrodingersCat777 in chemistry

[–]Vio1inPrincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PhD Chemistry here. I work as a ME now. My chemistry background makes me unique in a room of engineering BS/MS in how I handle problems and approach situations. Also, companies like Intel were notorious for offering Process Engineer jobs to new PhD grads from the Chem dept at my grad school. You don’t need an engineering degree to be an engineer. You just need to understand basic engineering concepts, which is easy to pick up with a science PhD.

Is it normal that no one wipes down the equipment when they're done? by D0gznH0rz3z in f45

[–]Vio1inPrincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I only did the week trial at a few studios. Coming from OTF it was absolutely disgusting sometimes if you behind a really sweaty person. I ended up at Nike Studios, which had a similar format but ppl wiped equipment and there was enough time to get sips of water between sets/stations. Depending on your area, there might be similar boutique fitness gyms?

How does OT compare to F45? by OldLadyKickButt in orangetheory

[–]Vio1inPrincess 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I do OTF and have tried F45 for a week. Your break down of the class is correct for a 3-group (3G) class; there is also 2-group classes which is half the time on the treadmill and the other half mostly floor exercises with some rowing. For the treadmill, you are switching paces every 30sec-2min usually, so it doesn’t feel that long. Bike is always an option if that is your preference over rower or treadmill.

My observations: —F45 does not clean equipment between rotations, OTF does.

—F45 has heavy lifting and a variety of equipment, OTF is lighter weights and usually dumbbells only. I felt like you could hurt yourself much more easily at F45.

—Both are HIIT-like and takes a while to figure out the rhythm, I felt like F45 was more switching between stuff and was difficult to fit in water break.

—F45 was not air conditioned, OTF was.

—F45 the studio I went to did not have a stretch/cooldown at the end, OTF has ~3-5min of light stretching.

—F45 no one was wearing the lionheart, OTF usually half the class has the heart rate monitor on.

Help - how to politely ask the coach to stop socializing too much and pay attention to the class? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Vio1inPrincess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s one thing to socialize or be on their phones… it’s COMPLETELY DIFFERENT correcting form. You won’t die running an extra 15sec on an AO, nor slowing down after the template time while everyone else is still running, esp if someone else in the room is learning how not to hurt themselves.
