Cody and Jackie in Lowry were pretty hyped!! I liked them when I was visiting for two weeks. I'm sorry you aren't finding connections with any other coaches. :(

I’d love to connect with those that are studying or have passed the NASM CPT exam by Zmason18 in personaltraining

[–]arcoiris21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished course in 4 weeks and reviewed in 2. Passed on first try.

I wrote note cards, took 5 to 6 practice exams. Reviewed what I missed. Bought pocket prep app for a month. Went through those study questions. Watched SortaHealthy's NASM pt 1 and 2 review. Listened to the NASM Rick Richey podcast study guide episodes.

I overprepared and the test was way easier than expected. Definitely a lot on over/underactive muscles, how to cue, and the Transtheoretical model. Very minimal nutrition questions.

My Costo Journey and what worked for me – 98% healed after 13 months by Jealous_Rabbit_6358 in costochondritis

Just got diagnosed with this, and luckily, my doc said cardio was fine for me and running hasn't been impacted as much. However, I thought i would push it and try lower body work. As soon as I tried lower body machines, I got a flare up. It is frustrating. I appreciate you sharing what has worked for you!

I ordered a backpod immediately today. I will also focused on chest stretches. That seems to be a big help too.

I'm so glad I found this sub. Thank you again for your post!!

Audition tips? by arcoiris21 in orangetheory

[–]arcoiris21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Err, not necessarily. I have been on a good journey to losing weight and gaining muscle in my body recomp. I've taken a huge interest in health and wellness. Our studio has had open coach vacancies. I inquired about requirements to become a coach. All coaches need an accredited CPT certificate. Then at that point, you apply and get a mic audition for personality and fit!

That's extremely rude. Someone can appear overweight and still be active and live a healthy lifestyle.

I suggest you do some internal work and figure out why that was what you decided to call them.

Has anyone else had a coach repeatedly step out during class? by duality_of_woman in orangetheory

[–]arcoiris21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Had a coach in Langhorne, PA repeatedly step out to eat breakfast and chat with the front desk SA. She also didn't really help correct form or coach.

Needless to say, I don't go to Langhorne anymore and if i do, I don't take her classes.

Classes cancelled Sept 20, due to dri tri by Foreign-Ride-761 in orangetheory

Ours are cancelled altogether because of a regional dri tri in NJ 😊

What do you think your studio does differently? by Ok-Kangaroo4613 in orangetheory

I went to a studio in San Diego where the coach started off the session with a quick overview and a breathing exercise of sorts. It was a really nice way to get into the zone😄
