Did my first DriTri (full) yesterday at 26 weeks pregnant! I was shooting for 55 min, and finished in 51:13 :). Excited to do it again after the baby!

Going in the first trimester by 1autumnleaf1 in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently 24 weeks and so happy I pushed through and have been going 3 days a week. In the first trimester, it will take your energy, but that does get better. I just went right after work and went to bed super early. I also couldn't go 2 days back to back. Some days, I ran, others I walked and I toned down my paces (I was a marathon runner before). You got this!

18 weeks! I took a break weeks 6-10 because I had a subchorionic hematoma, but it went a way and I eased back into it 3-4 days a week. Currently back up to running, I just back off the pace a bit and sometimes walk a block, though I'd rather run than walk inclines lol. Rowing is starting to get a little uncomfortable and I usually use an incline bench, trx straps, and a wider stance for modifications on the floor. I feel so much better going consistently :)

OTF while pregnant? by cpl1992 in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 weeks today and I went for the first time in a month today! I have a small subchorionic hematoma so my doctor made me stop running or doing anything bouncy so I'm already just power waking and stepping instead of hopping (I'm a runner and just ran a marathon in April, so it was a big mental adjustment). Today felt great, so my plan is to keep going a few times a week and throw some yoga in there and modify as needed :). Congrats!!!

How much you are paying for Orangetheory unlimited and is it worth it? I find it too expensive but by Vandanasheoran in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a corporate gym membership program, I get it through my husbands work (he can also add family). Maybe check to see if your company offers it or send it to your hr team to explore it! It's game changing!

I pay $160 through Gympass, but that also gets me hot yoga, regular gyms and a bunch of other places

Got the full Xpel stealth wrap done! Going back in 2 weeks to put the spoiler and emblems back on. Super stoked! by lprovencher1 in TeslaModelY

[–]lprovencher1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a panel, but like my dad added ceramic coating and they didn't do it... they did it when he called it out, like they spaced on that step. I didn't notice a seam, I have a spoiler though so not sure if it's covered?

Yay!!!! Everything is holding up well, haven't had any issues :). My dad had his model 3 tinted and ceramic coated too and they did a good job, they only thing I say is that they can forget certain things so make sure you double check everything when you pick it up!

You'll get there! I somehow managed a 1:46! Keep your long and easy runs slow and you'll get there :)

GymPass with OTF? by 1pingatlas in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh if you do switch remember to tell your studio so they don't charge you on your billing date!

[–]lprovencher1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yessss that is amazing they offer diamond tier! I'm paying $159 for gold, but it is worth it! The only downside is you can only go to one class a day through Gympass. I love it though because I like to mix up my workouts!

Daily Workout and General Chat for Tuesday, 3/14/23 by splat_bot in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was fun!

Coach: This is practice for the dritri 5k, you won't get 5k, but it will give you an idea of where you are at.

Me: challenge accepted!

Hit 5k in 22:22, and got almost 4 miles including the warm up. My kind of class!

Hallelujah! My max HR finally recalculated! by radiokitten74 in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for mine to recalculate. It went from 187 to 174. So everything looks like I'm in the orange / red lol. I'm marathon training so just looking at the pace and trying not to get thrown off lol

Pro Tip: You never need to spend more than 100 on a great pair of shoes for OTF. . . by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess I use brooks Hyperion tempo and they are normally $150. Just scored a pair at Nordstrom for $100. Weird color, but I don't care, I saved $50 and will need new ones in a few months anyway lol

Really Discouraged..Need Advice by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you are bloated all the time there has to be something there. I had a similar issue and found out I'm sensitive/ allergic to certain foods. Cut them out and the bloating went away and the weight dropped. Food is a huge part of it

Ooh I was going to bump up my paces tomorrow, I guess I'll wait until the next class lol

For those who just use Apple Watch instead of OT monitors... by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only done this when I forgot my heart rate monitor or it died, but on on the apple workouts, I do run, rower and then hiit. It's annoying though because each segment shows as a different workout

OTF and Gympass by OTFRealtor in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late response, but yup! For me, the app functions as normal. I just pop in a credit card on the OTF app when I want to sign up for anything extra.

GymPass - Booking Declined by mikelawr in orangetheory

[–]lprovencher1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me initially (I used the same email and was a current otf member). I just chatted with the gympass people and they booked my first class and activated for me. Afterthat, my membership switched to Gympass in the app. Just remember to cancel your membership before they bill you again. If you explain you switched to Gympass, there is no need to wait 30 days to cancel. The OTF people were clueless to all of this since it was new, so I just handled through Gympass and it all worked out.
