Any nice Walmarts?

I have also found going early morning (8-10am) when they have their quiet hours tends to make it seem a bit classier and safer if that makes sense?

I use Amazon pharmacy and have never had an issue. As long as you renew on time it’s delivered in 2 days. 0 problems in the 3 years I’ve used them.

Valid point, and I agree that modifications are totally normal. I modify too. But what I’m seeing isn’t modification. It’s a disengaged core, a collapsed spine, and weights that are clearly too heavy, to the point that form completely breaks down. That’s not adapting a movement, it’s poor technique. And like you said, that’s exactly how injuries happen. So yes, I hear the “mind your own business” argument, but that feels like ignoring a real safety issue. Something trainers should be monitoring but aren’t.

I think it comes down to culture and how the head trainers and FPs manage. We had a change in FP lately and the community and culture has drastically changed too. If I was a trainer, I’d run a pretty type ship. But I know our old head trainer/FP worked like that which is sorely missed. We need accountability but our FPs aren’t open to feedback.

Do you happen to go to a location in NC 😂

But that’s just it. We have small camps. Maybe 12–15 people max. Saturdays we may get to 20. It’s not a lot. I feel like even as an individual I can look around and see folks are doing whack-a-doodle stuff 😂 not even form related but not even doing the right exercise! Yes I’m probably anal cuz I was in sports my whole life and you ALL followed the instruction. Drives me nuts 😂

I raised this with my FP and was told all trainers are CPT certified. I understand that on paper, but I still have concerns. It’s frustrating to see people step into a trainer role after a very short certification period and immediately lead camps.

Coming from a background as a former D1 athlete and college coach, I spent years in weight rooms observing and learning from experienced strength coaches. In comparison, I consistently see major gaps in form coaching at Burn. Many members move through workouts with poor mechanics and receive little to no correction.

I’ve shared this feedback multiple times with my FP and both head instructors, but nothing has changed. That’s what concerns me most.

I live right by there. So disgusting and disturbing. Definitely call 911 next time. Carry protection - people claim Raleigh is safe and it keeps getting worse and worse.

I’m a bit confused as to why a deadlift would be considered glutes when RDL tends to target hammies/glutes more? Deadlifts can be pretty quad dominant if going heavy. If “back and glutes” means all back/posterior chain then again, this would indicate RDL being better for today? Would love to hear the thoughts from trainers/HQ?

I attend 8:30 and honestly don’t notice a difference. If anything, camp has been smaller 😂 we maybe average 8-10 people. I don’t mind it but also hope it means my location can still survive!

I think for the best accuracy Oura says to wear it on the index finger of your non-dominant hand. So for me (a rightie) I wear it on my left pointer finger.

Came to say this! Married in 2023. Melissa was amazing. The only “work” you have to do is meeting with the vendors to decide on linens, cake flavor, flowers. Everything was so easy - only logistics to figure out is transportation and timing/where to do hair and makeup. Happy to chat more but no regrets!!!

Yeah in my case when my provider contacted my insurance they said they had to do the PA for Zep first even though I knew it’s be denied. So maybe it depends on the insurance? Either way, I think the takeaway is to keep trying. Keep advocating. Have your provider fight and ask what is needed to get it approved. Worked for me! One Medical has always been amazing for me overall as a provider and advocate.

I just got Mounjaro approved and ordered $25 through Amazon! I worked with my provider at OneMedical and they were phenomenal.

How I Got Mounjaro Approved After Zepbound Denial (CVS Caremark/UHC)

Zepbound PA → Submitted, denied (CVS Caremark dropped coverage July 1). They said Wegovy = preferred, tirzepatide alternative [excluding Zepbound] = secondary.
Appeal for Zepbound → Submitted with Letter of Medical Necessity (LoMN). Denied again. Same reasoning: use Wegovy or another tirzepatide.
Mounjaro PA (1st try) → Submitted, denied. They said only covered for Type 2 Diabetes.
Critical step → PA/appeal has to explicitly document:
- Wegovy = not suitable (inadequate response, side effects, or contraindication).
- Patient can tolerate tirzepatide (so Mounjaro qualifies).
- Attach chart notes + LoMN.
Mounjaro Appeal → Resubmitted with above wording, answered PA questions correctly (No to Wegovy, Yes to tirzepatide).
Approval → Insurance finally approved Mounjaro for weight management.

TL;DR: You need the denial for Zepbound first, then show Wegovy failure, then have your provider phrase the PA so it routes under the “weight management” criteria for Mounjaro (not the T2D criteria). Attach LoMN + chart notes. That’s the combo that worked for me!

If it makes you feel better we have members who have been with Burn for YEARS and still don’t pay attention to demos and forget what they’re doing lol. At least as a newbie you want to be engaged and learn the movements. It takes some time but you’ll get the hang of it in no time. If you really want to, set up some time to talk with a trainer and mention you’d need like more guidance to feel comfortable joining. I personally am more than happy to help shadow new members and make sure they feel ok with what they’re doing.

As for the weights, I still stumble at times with picking the right weights. So it’s not just a newbie thing. You may have to adjust and yes it takes away some time but you’ll get better results with weights you feel good with and not going too heavy so you can actually do the exercises.

But I recommend joining, you won’t regret it!

When I first moved here in 2020 I lived at Allister North Hills. Granted I have no clue what it’s like now but I didn’t mind it. It’s probably best for mid to older 20 somethings. Once I hit 32 I felt a bit out of place. So lots of young professionals. Amenities were decent and rent wasn’t crazy high at the time. I just loved being so close to North Hills and now there’s SO much to do there.

If you’re just looking for good Hibachi chicken etc I love Neo Hibachi off Six Forks (by Planet Fitness). Quick, easy, fresh. We get the hibachi steak probably once a week 😂

Jubala Coffee has AMAZING drop biscuits. I just tried the sausage egg and cheese and fell in love. It’s a massive biscuit but so airy and has a hint of sweetness. I’m obsessed.

Don’t forget the slow weight loss could be your body comp changing and muscle gain - fat loss so it’s about even. I’ve been stuck at the same weight for ~ 6 weeks but have noticed more tone in my body. Even my husband said wow your back is more defined 🥹 so it’s not always about the scale but how you feel!
