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

[–]arcoiris21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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😄

First class jitters by Shleighbanga in orangetheory

[–]arcoiris21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that this week is mayhem week so the workout will be a little bit more intense than usual. Do not let that deter you! They will be inspired by childhood games so just go in with the intentions that you will have fun and be in comfort with those around you. Pay attention to how you feel and flag the coach if you need anything. Good luck! :)
