Hive Fitness for me. Gets packed and it isn’t a huge gym but its good enough for me

I usually use ClassPass. I don't have a preferred gym but it lets me try different ones. It is somehow pricey but it is the only way I will exercise.

If you work uptown, hit the Y and wait out the traffic in the evening.

If you are in the burbs - lifetime fitness, join a fitness or country club (if that’s your thing), or build out a garage gym

If you are in or near uptown - try out the various ymca’s (yes likely crowded, but try a few before you write it off), Charlotte athletic club, JCC, or find a friend with a garage gym

It’s Charlotte - prob more folks doing CrossFit, running club, or golf/tennis … as opposed to hittin the weights when it’s snowing outside since there ain’t shit else to do.

Rockbox!

Anytime fitness is not bad

If group classes are your thing I like f45

YOu are sooooo right. They all suck. Commenting to follow. Hopefully someone here knows of something that is better.

I could see it being the best for a competitor. It's meathead central; back when it was located across from the Lintmen's space, there was a competitive lifting crew that would hog the deadlift platforms seemingly all day (they'd be there in the early mornings, but also any random mid-morning or afternoon too).

FF certainly has more plates and racks for Olympic lifts than anywhere else. It does not have the gear for mainstream fitness today, such as classes, copious cardio, or dynamic movements. There's turf space, but good luck using it at peak times.

Planet Fitness, Ballantyne. See you there

I go to Planet Fitness. It is the best I have been able to find.

I’m from Dallas so I am used to so much better. I’ve tried it all. Charlotte Athletic Club is the best it gets. I personally am willing to spend more for a gym that never has a crowd. I also can walk there so it’s easy for me. Barry’s Bootcamp would be 2nd best option but it’s a studio not a gym.

Hi Fishes, need your help.
Can anyone tell me the exact role for Quality analysis in Accenture. Thanks in advance.

Going through a closeout. 50-50 profit share allocation, but my business partner has been using the venture money at their personal piggy bank (hence the breakup). My accountants say because we agreed to 50-50 shares, the leftover money has to be divided equally.

They spent $100k in the last month on random "work stuff" but bought a new car, etc. Now I have to pay for it with less equity return!

Just wanted to rant, I'll probably never go into a partnership again.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
