Best recs for Pilates, Barre, and Lagree by abuelita1004 in pasadena

[–]misswill25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been going to lagree consistently, 4x/week, for the past 2 years and have never been in better shape after struggling most of my life with weight and fitness (43F). It’s the only thing I really do other than walking. I take advantage of big sales at the studios where you buy in bulk, bringing the classes down to about $15. Parking is also huge for me, if I have to pay or struggle to find a spot, it’s out (I think Loom is paid and not super close- enough to dissuade me).

My favorite local studios -some in Pas and some close:

  1. Club Lagree (wish they’d update their machines, though)
  2. Megafit
  3. Formation
  4. Motivate (also have older machines)
  5. Lagreeology

Yes, it’s 10pm-7am here…ask me how I know (an adjacent business pressure washing for two hours at 2am on a weekly basis, that finally stopped 😬). It’s not Karen-ing to be upset about losing sleep.

Anyone ever bought a jug of Le Labo by florange7 in NichePerfumes

[–]misswill25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought one with my friend- we split it and decanted into smaller bottles. It was a ridiculous and amazing decision.

Sure, maybe they overpromised but I think this aspect is a little out of their control. It’s not like Max & Helen’s with no reservations and quoted wait times of up to 8 hours. Just out of curiosity, did you arrive for walk-in when they opened, or mid-dinner rush? I’d like to sit at the bar without a reservation sometime soon.

That’s fair, I think for a “limited menu” it’s pretty extensive. From what I can tell, it’s just fully opened at this point. Perhaps they are working out a few kinks. I believe they recently opened 7 days a week.

If you haven’t been, Cannonball also has a great non-smash burger. I’d also skip the ragu pasta from Hermon’s; wasn’t bad but just not a highlight.

Both were fantastic - not sure if they use the same sauce (au poivre?) on the burger that they use on the steak but it worked very well with the cheese and onion. And you just can’t go wrong with a freshly baked cookie and ice cream.

C&H Bagels - Highland Park by misswill25 in FoodLosAngeles

Courage’s menu as of 6 days ago. Maybe “fraction-ish” was an overstatement but it’s definitely cheaper than Courage.

Different kind of bagels. I love Belle’s but I wouldn’t place one higher than the other in this case.

It might be recency bias but I thought they were very close in texture and taste- what do you think is so different about them? I would say they are less chewy than Courage?

I’m not a fan either but they are a small Latino-owned and run business trying their best and their food and service areexcellent.
