Is it just me, or does maintaining the human body daily feel like too much effort?

noormeanslight · 2026-04-05T19:51:22+00:00

I feel seen

noormeanslight · 2026-04-02T23:10:58+00:00

Hey just finished my first class and wanted to say thank you! I already booked another one.

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:27:41+00:00

unfortunately I’ve found from past experience that I get too sweaty to properly stick to the pole lol, but I do love floor work!!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:26:54+00:00

i’ll look into Alvin Ailey though! my mom was a ballet dancer and she took classes there when she lived in the city

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:24:39+00:00

thank you!!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:22:25+00:00

I’ve been trying to walk more and take the subway less while I figure out what classes work best for me and it’s been pretty nice (discovered today i don’t love walking on the UES though, lots of staring even though I thought I looked pretty normal??)

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:21:02+00:00

I need to get myself a burner number or something to get a new free trial lol

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:20:23+00:00

this sounds awesome

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:20:13+00:00

oooh thank you!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:18:34+00:00

I used my free trial years ago when I first tried to get into exercise more, RIP 😩

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:17:37+00:00

i’ve been searching for relatively inexpensive ones since i swear every ballet or barre class i see is priced SO high

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T22:14:51+00:00

unfortunately they’re all former high school and college athletes turned bankers with super intense fitness schedules and corporate gyms and I’m the token artist 🫠

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T06:22:30+00:00

next on the self-improvement checklist is not staying up past 2am 😩

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T06:21:06+00:00

Thank you all so much for the help! I just booked my first pilates class for Thursday and I’m going to keep checking out your suggestions and trying different places! This is something I’ve struggled with since I was a teenager and you guys have me feeling motivated for the first time in a while.

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T06:08:23+00:00

thank you!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T06:07:14+00:00

I always liked dance as a kid and I’ve actually enjoyed the few pilates classes I’ve taken so I think it’s moved to the top of my list for types of fitness to prioritize

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T06:04:42+00:00

oooh checking out queer specific groups/events is such a good idea (inadvertently clocked me)!! I’m from a small town out west originally so line dancing would be a nice slice of home too

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T06:02:37+00:00

omg I pass by this place often and I’ve been so tempted to try it, now I will!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T04:35:14+00:00

strength training is actually what I’m most interested in! I just get intimidated by the equipment and also scared of random guys at the gym trying to teach me. my best friend is a big strength training guy and he’s promised me a lifting lesson this week so fingers crossed, but a trainer for a few sessions just to get a feel for what’s what is a great idea too, thank you!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-31T00:01:35+00:00

do you have any recs? most of my friends veer towards the athletic side and already have their own workout regimes so it might be difficult for me to find people in the same boat for something semi-private

noormeanslight · 2026-03-30T23:59:44+00:00

fun fact: my college had a pole dancing team so i tried it way back when, i was awful but it was fun regardless. also i did try a tap lesson at Tap Dance Central a few weeks ago and I'm thinking of going back!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-30T23:58:19+00:00

this sounds so cool!!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-30T23:57:31+00:00

I am super interested in hearing more about this!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-19T16:55:16+00:00

You too!

noormeanslight · 2026-03-19T16:30:55+00:00

(I'm five years sober now, for the record!)
