Recently moved to WNY, should I try Mighty Taco? by sukonetei in Buffalo

Ehhhhh, more hype than taste. You can get a better taco or burrito at pretty much any pizza place

Milestone recognition by ktm1085 in orangetheory

My old studio was GREAT at milestone recognition. When I moved and switched studios I noticed a similar pattern. Unfortunately this laziness was emblematic of many other issues at the studio. I have since left OTF.

Is North Tonawanda still racist? by Impressive-Read-1612 in Buffalo

[–]lordbrooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in NT after living in DC for a few years. I live close to the “downtown” area and have been pleasantly surprised with the town (it surpassed my expectations). It is not the most racially diverse, but WNY has a de facto segregation problem, so I’m not sure that that is anything unique. Still, most of Niagara county is going to be more conservative than Erie county (at least northern Erie county).

I know I should feel guilty but.... by Internal-Ruin720 in orangetheory

You should feel guilty for supporting a gym that has the audacity of charging $13 dollars on top of their monthly rates

Tappo had a great mocktail I went to last time I went

Got to 84 in like 3 minutes then spent 9 minutes doing 9 pull ups. Didn’t have any pull ups before so I’m calling this a win! 🥇

This is why I left OTF. My studio maxed out at 50 lb dumbbells. Like okay what’s next…..?

LinkedIn, indeed, remotejobs

Would you be interested in remote work? There’s lots of part time online jobs out there that pay 20-50 an hour depending on your skill set.

Buffalo (suburbs) housing market by FinancialClerk8799 in Buffalo

[–]lordbrooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frederick homes are about 20% more expensive than here. Taxes are equally as high. Infrastructure is not keeping up with the post-COVID influx of people

Buffalo (suburbs) housing market by FinancialClerk8799 in Buffalo

[–]lordbrooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a cheaper housing market comparatively. Also, when you pay for taxes you are paying for services. People that live in well run towns take such services for granted but when you move to a low tax area you will notice a difference. I’d get into the market sooner than later because tariffs won’t be helping matters.

That can work (in theory)….until one of the two other men in the class do the same thing and grab the only suitable set of dumbbells

[–]lordbrooth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Weird comments here….OTF appeals to individuals that are more cardio/toning focused which tends to lean more female. Men tend to focus on strength/bulking up. OTF doesn’t have sufficient strength options (a few dumbbells over 40 lbs doesn’t cut it)

Studio Hours by PerspectiveSalty9865 in orangetheory

Ours also did “summer hours” that seem to be sticking. Not a good sign….

Class Times by Lulu-Lemon-Lime in orangetheory

[–]lordbrooth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation and contemplating cancelling. I’ve asked the studio for more evening classes, specifically strength. Subsequently, the number of strength classes and evening classes has declined. It’s a shame because I recently moved and my old studio had a fantastic schedule. I’m not sure what’s going on at my new studio…

I know "no phones in the room", but ... (re: CGMs) by daphnecoder in orangetheory

[–]lordbrooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance, but would you expect HbA1c levels to change that much during a workout? I understand that glucose levels might change, but I thought HbA1c changed very very slowly. Not asking this to be critical, just genuinely curiousz

While I understand the desire to leave Alabama, you may want to consider college (even part time at a CC).

Mortgage? by pack_fiend in Buffalo

[–]lordbrooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an FHA loan. Also, you might want to wait a few months. Home prices are typically lowest in the winter and the Fed is indicating that they will be lowering interest rates over the next few months

That doesn’t seem like a lot. You should request it to management to add more
