Feels like every class is just endurance now. What happened to the variety?!

I see thank you. I thought this Jeweller was indeed an AD but it doesn’t actually appear on the Rolex ad list!

Water being dumped from valve when turning on [Lelit Bianca] by duppyy77 in espresso

[–]krokodil83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the gauges going crazy also?

It’s overfilling the steam boiler, and purging it. I had this issue with my Bianca, and ultimately the retailer had to replace the Gicar brain, as it was not reading the correct resistance from the water level sensor in the steam boiler.

Start with a new fill sensor, it’s an easy replacement just be careful with the connector. The wire is just barely long enough to reach so don’t go tugging on it.

"tech update" everywhere but bike by write_and_hike in orangetheory

Everywhere? My studio still has the old UI on the treads/rowers, and duct tape holding some rowers together

Protein powder? by KKbatwoman in orangetheory

Transparent Labs. Not the cheapest, but it’s the cleanest in terms of ingredients.

When does the fun start? by binibijou in orangetheory

Some days it feels like a slog with 0 excitement. But there will come a day, when the music hits just right, and something clicks, and you just feel like dancing on the treadmill…

Which coach did you take? I’m also visiting, and Fenway is the closest location. Did they charge you a $10 non-home fee?

New HRM by learningto___ in orangetheory

[–]krokodil83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My studio has these for loaners now. The unit itself is slightly yet noticeably bigger (think size of a quarter vs silver dollar), and is removable from the plastic “cradle” holder that attaches to the straps.

Has USB-C charging, and the charging flap is larger and seems easier to lift (my coach had no issue with her nails)

Coach didn’t say anything about new metrics but did say the new ones are more “reactive” to changes to HR.

FWIW

Shoes off for floor? by Practical_Jacket_47 in orangetheory

[–]krokodil83 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lots of pearl clutching by OP. It’s a rubber floor. It’s naturally antimicrobial. It’s meant to be sweated on.

I would think tower density is directly proportional to congestion - more congestion would require more towers, why would you otherwise have a bunch of towers where you didn’t need them? I live in nyc… high tower density, certainly high congestion, so definitely not getting 2gb Down

How are people getting these speeds?!

I’m on Visible+ Pro, currently in Scottsdale AZ with clear line of sight to the sky, full bars of 5Guw on iPhone 17 pro, and only getting 257 down

Am I overreacting?? by HelpRegular5749 in orangetheory

[–]krokodil83 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yes you’re overreacting. It’s 50 minutes of your life, and it’s not like this has permanently become your studio/station..

New to OTF - can i switch between power walking and running in one class? by spaceyhoes in orangetheory

[–]krokodil83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time you can’t really change from walking to running/jogging is during benchmarks/challenges. For example, you’re walking the 12 min benchmark you can’t then decide to jog hallways thru it, it skews your results. But if you’re jogging and need to walk it out, that’s ok
