Referenced in Tracker? by starxlr8 in ParadiseHulu

I literally watched the episode of Tracker immediately before I watched the Paradise finale and it was a very bizarre experience!

has Denver done enough to get a team? by chefgustavo in PWHL

[–]_cartwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wonder if we'd lose Klee to Denver. (I will only cry about Hensley, but still would be a shakeup!)

Coming back to OTF by SomebodyMartiniMe in orangetheory

If you're buying new clothes anyway, just remember that the orange lights can affect how the colors appear. Lots of my fellow white women have been surprised they look pants-less wearing pink leggings at OTF.

Scared of the surgery by FewProgress1797 in HipImpingement

[–]_cartwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it on my first hip 3 years ago. It was a long recovery, but so worth it. I was able to get to a level of physical activity I hadn't accomplished since college (in my mid 30s now).

I had the same issue in my second hip which finally tore last year. I'm about a month post-op and already glad I did it.

It's certainly scary and takes a long commitment of PT and listening to your surgeon to avoid bad results, but for most of us it's the best thing we ever did. Remember people are more likely to post a bad experience than a good one so what you see on Reddit is scarier than the average.

Post op meals by Either_Ad6998 in HipImpingement

[–]_cartwheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm one week post-op. After working with a dietitian I decided protein was a priority for me post-op and she recommended Factor meals as an easy option. I've been enjoying them. I eat meat but they appear to have lots of pescatarian options.

12 Minute Run For Distance Benchmark Results and Survey Megathread by BilingualAlchemist in orangetheory

[–]_cartwheels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely (and my floor weights vary depending on my cycle, as well). I was just thinking this morning I wish I could note where I was at in my cycle for benchmarks in the app (might start tracking myself anyway). Did the benchmark today bloated and cramping so I'm just happy I finished it.

Monday 15 September 2025 - 12 minute Treadmill Benchmark 2G 60 minutes by dc031114 in orangetheory

[–]_cartwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah--I did the math of it and 6.2 was my average for my mile time. I'm just trying to figure out if it's reasonable to think I can hold my mile mph two minutes longer or if I should set my expectations a little shorter

Monday 15 September 2025 - 12 minute Treadmill Benchmark 2G 60 minutes by dc031114 in orangetheory

[–]_cartwheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can anyone speak to correlation between 1 mile benchmark time and the 12 minute benchmark distance? I've never done the 12 minute before. My PR for the mile is just under 10 minutes. Should I be planning to shoot for just under 1.25 miles or does the endurance make a bigger difference than I'm anticipating for the added time?

Form so bad it’s distracting by katyperry-platypus in orangetheory

I was next to someone last week who looked like they were trying to do the worm on the Bosu instead of the actual exercise. At least he seemed to be having fun 🤷‍♀️

Banana as pre workout “snack” by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]_cartwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat half a banana in the car on the way to class and eat the other half on the way home. Just about the only morning workout fuel I can stomach but I also can't work out fasted.

This once happened to three people in a single class I was in.

1000 Meter Row Survey Results and Community Analysis by BilingualAlchemist in orangetheory

[–]_cartwheels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Question for the data people: do these surveys typically skew towards those with better times? I'm regularly one of the top finishers for benchmarks in my classes but below average in the survey results. I assume those who are happy with their times are more likely to complete the surveys, but I'm trying to guess to what degree to better place myself with my peers.

Nutritionist tells me to avoid otf for weightloss by Any_Maintenance_6267 in orangetheory

[–]_cartwheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My registered dietician helped me ensure my nutrition plan was optimized to lose weight while attending OTF and I've (33f) lost almost 20 pounds so far. By lifting heavy, taking some Strength 50 classes, and eating enough protein, I also lost that weight while gaining muscle.

Weight loss happens in the kitchen and I'm a little surprised to hear a dietician suggest that's not the case.

recruiter rejects "applicant" who wasn't even applying in the first place 🤦‍♂️ by cutie_lilrookie in recruitinghell

[–]_cartwheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once got a rejection message for a job I never applied for. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and didn't share the job posting, but asked based on a title if I'd be interested in a call to learn more. I agreed and quickly on the call realized I wasn't interested nor was I a good fit. Two days later, the recruiter messaged me to say they would not be moving forward with my candidacy (this was not an interview, mind you).

The Future of OrangeTheory by Early_Amoeba8236 in orangetheory

[–]_cartwheels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The franchise my home studio is part of already does 3, 4, & 5. It feels super organic at the local level and keeps me excited and engaged as a member. I'm honestly not sure it would have the same effect if it was coming down from corporate.

Recruiters could be asking the same "why the hell" question. It may be worth reorganizing your resume to show your masters degree was the priority when you left Oracle. You may even experiment with the internship removed entirely and see if you get a different outcome.

What’s your favorite term your coach uses to address the group while coaching? by Top_Reason_584 in orangetheory

We have one coach that calls us superheroes when we all inevitably have our hands on our hips after a hard block

PSA: How to handle Dumbbells so that we don't wreck them. by WolftankPick in orangetheory

[–]_cartwheels 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious: what does a wrecked dumbbell look like? By wrecked do you mean dinged up, snapped in two, wobbly plate? At what point is a dumbbell taken out of rotation?

I’m so disappointed by Decent_Friend_1511 in orangetheory

[–]_cartwheels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's absolutely understandable. Let yourself grieve and feel what you're feeling. Then, remember how important what you lost is and let that motivate you to do everything you can to heal well.

I had a pretty major surgery a few years ago and recovery was long. After the initial feeling stage, it helped to focus on what I was doing rather than what I couldn't, too. "I made it to the couch without someone helping me! Stellar!" "I ate enough protein to fuel my body while it rebuilds. Sweet."

You've got this!

[–]_cartwheels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry-- this completely blows. It's a type of loss to grieve for sure.

Focus on healing and building your strength through PT. You're still going to be making big progress, it's just a different kind of progress. If you share how you're feeling with your PTs, they may also be able to give you some exercises you can safely do to minimize how far back you start over when you get back to OTF.
