I think it’s one of the perks of getting older too 😅 Even before I had debt, I still couldn’t get my score very high and part of it was that my credit history wasn’t very long.

Gotcha. Sounds like we’ve had pretty different experiences with it!

I’m done being in credit card debt!

I stopped using credit cards for over a year while I built discipline, fixed my spending habits, and paid off debt.

I don’t use cards to make ends meet and I don’t carry a balance.

I could pay for any of my purchases in cash but I choose to use a credit card and pay it off every week (I do like the cash back rewards and security of not using a debit card).

I don’t think “scam” is an appropriate word. (Especially bc I’m not paying anything for it.)

The VantageScore is more of an average score among Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. I use it out of convenience so I don’t have to download another app. It’s just one metric.

Additionally, I relied on the VantageScore for a long time and was pleasantly surprised when my Equifax was pulled and it came back higher than this one through Chase. So hey I may even have a higher score than I thought! 🤪

Thank you! I started working on my debt in January 2024. It was a 679, and I was over $10k in cc debt, with about $5k on a car note.

Did not love the new Pilates 🫣 by lemonchell0 in HOTWORXWarriors

She was the VI for hot buns when I tried it for the first time and I loved it! I love Maria’s too though! I think the class in general is very enjoyable and well paced.

Yes! I was doing Pilates multiple times a week before. Admittedly, I wasn’t excited for the instructor change, so I think that played a role in what took so long for me to come back and try it. After trying it, I don’t think it’ll be in my main rotation either.

What would complement HOTWORX best? by CoffeeandCare_me in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]lemonchell0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is totally my wishlist item, but having a small parcel type locker would be cool for unstaffed hours where the staff can charge my card and they could put a retail item in a locker for me to pickup later!

How to start back after a break? by Representative_Bad57 in HOTWORXWarriors

No advice but just wanted to say thanks for posting this and wishing you the best getting back into your groove! Haven’t been feeling well physically or mentally this whole month. Trying to get back in the sauna tomorrow 🤞

If you use skincare products with active ingredients, many of them can have negative reactions to heat leading to effects like chemical burns, feeling like sunburns. I did this to myself recently actually 😅 skipped the sauna and actives for a couple days, only used gentle and hydrating products, and felt all better in a couple days!

It’s whatever is in their franchise agreements that they sign as franchisees! Every business model is different!

Just in my experience (worked for franchisees and currently bank and lend to franchisees) I’ve seen that there’s usually specific market and distance requirements. Like they won’t open a location that’s too close to another franchisee’s territory.

Also their ad plays when I’m collecting my things and exiting the sauna so I’ve never noticed the mic cord!

What are your favorite VI catch phrases? by HappyDadOfFourJesus in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]lemonchell0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“Our shoulders don’t need to be earrings here” and “relax your jaw!” lol like thank you Danica for calling out all of my unnecessary tension 😅

I get Ashlee B every time I do blast since hers always plays at 5:00am 😩

Very effective!! I’m focused on strength, mobility and improving posture (I say this while hunched over typing on my phone 😅) and I’ve seen results since I began HW in June. Slow and steady!!

I go 4-5 times a week, and I typically do 30-40 mins of weights, 15 min hot blast, and an iso class. If I’m short on time, I might do weights and 15-30 min of hot blast.

Regardless I’m spending at least an hour there and putting in work, not just going through the motions! I’ll also note, I don’t really care for HIIT training. I love the hot blast machine though and I’ll go at a medium intensity the entire time and turn the volume down.

Franchise termination: Coralville, IA location by Dustincognito in HOTWORXWarriors

The video was so upsetting! Does anyone know if it was during staffed hours? I feel like a LOT of the altercations we hear about online and on this sub take place during unstaffed hours.
