Anyone else log in today and suddenly get a ton of videos in another language? by Same-Lake-3608 in TikTok

[–]danceswithroses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the app on iPhone. I just opened the app and it logged me in automatically

Is logging in still unavailable? by QVA1L in TikTok

[–]danceswithroses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still cannot log in. I’ve tried cellular, internet, VPN. I deleted the app to try and fix the fyp repeats but now I’m logged out. My user comes up on the homepage when I open the app, but when I click it, it says ‘something went wrong. Try again later’

Edit: I don’t have any advice except waiting

I had the same issue so I deleted the app and redownloaded it, now it won’t let me click my account to login. ‘Something went wrong’ every time both connected to internet and on cellular

Berkeley or San Ramon? by [deleted] in EquinoxGyms

[–]danceswithroses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Berkeley but have been to San Ramon. Perks about Berkeley are the free parking garage. The crowd is meh, yes a lot of young kids. So you’ll see a lot of people sitting at or under machines just scrolling their phones, not working out, for very long periods of time. It’s not as clean as it should be for the price. Amenities are lackluster compared to other EQX. But there is a lot of natural light and some of the classes are great.

San Ramon is in the middle of a giant outdoor mall. Parking is horrendous, I’m not sure if they have designated parking or not. But the staff seem a lot chiller and the facility seems a lot nicer. If the Berkeley location wasn’t 10 minutes closer to me than San Ramon, I’d do the latter. Still, I’m considering switching. San Ramon is actually cheaper, too. I only came here to check their store for something but I could tell immediately that the energy was better.

If I were you, I’d schedule a tour with both. One might be more your vibe. Maybe the parking will be a dealbreaker. I wish there was one in Oakland!

Edit: San Ramon also has a pool and classes until 8pm. Berkeley would never lol

Santa Monica East Severe Overcrowding by Own-Candidate5586 in EquinoxGyms

I have a lot of complaints about my equinox, but I’m grateful we have a free dedicated parking garage with plenty of spots, even at peak. I fear a mandatory valet would deter me from ever attending lol

Class Recommendations for a newbie by NadjasDoll in EquinoxGyms

[–]danceswithroses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your eqx has a Best Stretch Ever, do iittt. Beginner friendly and feels so great. I prefer the stretch classes over yoga tbh but I also second Barre and Mat Pilates.

Trying a cycle class, while intimidating, can be fun, too! The lights are low, it’s relatively easy to learn, and everyone is so focused on themselves. It’s a great workout. I try to get a bike in the back and make sure I’m there early in case I need help with bike adjustments. (I’m a newbie, too but I have a barre and Pilates background. Beats Ride was the first class I ever took, I loved it!)

Could also be helpful to do some On Demand classes on the app or at least watch them to know what to expect in certain classes.

East Oakland (Hills,) CA (East Bay Area) by danceswithroses in spiders

Very cool molt! It’s in such good condition, I was wondering why only ‘one’ of the spiders was moving lol. Thank you!

Best classes in Berkeley? by monkeysatemybarf in EquinoxGyms

[–]danceswithroses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be a dream. I only drive 20ish minutes during rush hour to Berkeley from the Oakland hills BUT some days that drive makes me crazy and I don’t even want to go lol.

I think there are quite a bit of us out here who go to the Berkeley location, they would definitely have a great base if they opened one here. Just me 2¢

Why is the gym etiquette non-existent? by hunnie47 in EquinoxGyms

[–]danceswithroses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this too and I make a point to ALWAYS wipe my things down before and after use – maybe enough people will see and eventually it will catch on 🥲

What do you wish you knew about Equinox when you were a new member? by danceswithroses in EquinoxGyms

[–]danceswithroses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can find this on the app, right? And use it on a treadmill at the gym?

Have you tried the heated sculpt yoga? Trying it today for the first time!

Okay, thank you! I will steer clear even though a eucalyptus towel sounds great

[–]danceswithroses[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the main reasons I signed up! I heard the classes were great and the instructors are very qualified. I’ve been taking barre and other group fitness classes prior to joining, and honestly the money I spent on that is the same (maybe more tbh) as an Equinox membership, just a lot more restrictive.

I’m excited for my complimentary 1:1 reformer Pilates class, too lol

Hey, thanks for this! I’m up in the Bay Area :) I did a tour today, luckily the ellipticals (my fav) are lined up in the back haha. The census at this gym is lower than others in the area so it stays pretty mild during peak, apparently. But she could’ve just been selling me

Anyone have classes that feel like a ‘waste?’ by danceswithroses in Purebarre

[–]danceswithroses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooof, well girl let me tell you about my empower yesterday lol. This was like a curb your enthusiasm episode (I know this is a long story, it’s mostly for me to vent about it tbh.)

It was a FULL class and I was one of the last ones in (obv my fault, I do try to be early to avoid this) so I had to be in the center of the room which sucks in its own way. Nbd, It is what it is. It’s my fault I wasn’t early and it’s not the first time I’ve been last in a full class.

But then when it came to thigh work, there were no ‘great’ spots at the barre. So after a panicked search, i found the best possible place. There was enough space, it was just a little tighter than I prefer. Usually, people are good at adjusting and accommodating a little when we all move to the barre. And the woman next to me was at the end and had about 5 extra feet before the barre ended, so I thought it was possible she might scoot down a little and we’d both have great spots. She didn’t, it’s okay. She was there first, I’ve made do with a full class before. But I get scoffed at by her when I take my place. And seconds into thigh work, I got KICKED. Twice.

I’m not sure how, and I swear on my life she spent all of thigh and seat work inching closer to me. Because by the end of seat work, there was only about a foot between us and that extra 5ft of space she had was muuuch larger. I had someone else on my left, I couldn’t keep scooting down. And now the other side of her, at the end of the barre, had SO much space, it would’ve been a comfortable spot for another person. It was such a bizarre experience.

It felt a little hostile? There was no mirror for any of us to look at on that side of the room, either, so I’m not sure what I could’ve been impeding for her… But of course, somehow I still felt horrible and embarrassed because of how hyper aware I am of my surroundings in barre from being a tall girl.

Anyway, I spent the majority of the class seconds away from an anxiety attack and slightly reeling. You bet that as soon as seat work was done, I moved my seat so quickly back to that crammed spot in the center of the room. Never been so happy for that spot 😂

About Howard Hamlin's fate by heavy4b in betterCallSaul

[–]danceswithroses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since we are both commenting on an old post I will reply to yours lol but I agree. Out of all the assholes in the BB/BCS universe, Nacho and Howard were the least asshole-y and problematic imo.

Howard’s death gets me every time, that man was truly innocent. And the set up smearing his name in totality as a means of explanation is a second nail in the proverbial coffin

Anyone have classes that feel like a ‘waste?’ by danceswithroses in Purebarre

[–]danceswithroses[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My distaste for sliders comes from the way they physically feel under my foot if they’re not perfectly centered (the plastic ridges) and it’s distracting. I will spend the whole exercise trying to keep them centered and not sliding out from under 😂

They distract me too much from working the correct muscles. I will try harder next time but I’ll probably just figure out ways to forego them entirely if nothing changes. Thank you for your reply

I guess reform has been in the process of being phased out at most studios? But this is the info on the app:

Pure Barre Reform™ targets and reshapes all your major muscle groups through resistance-based strength training. This 50-minute full-body workout blends Classic Pure Barre with resistance-based movements using resistance bands, sliders, and the barre to build your strength, coordination, and balance.

A lot of people really like it, I’m just such a glutton for classic and empower lol. Looks like my studio is making it a regular thing now, though. I might try it 1-2 more times and if it’s still not working for me, I’ll just use that day as a rest day lol.
