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.

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.

Gave my 2-week notice and Partner has asked me stay an extra 3 days to wrap up a project that I know will be a very long 3 days... I don’t really want to do it but also am afraid of burning bridge. I said yes to the Partner but now kind of regret it. This job has made me sacrifice my health and I don’t want to work those extra 3 days. I wonder what’s the best way to tell them.

One of the things that my ADD coach helped me with was realizing that I wasn’t prioritizing activities that help me feel recharged. Between work and home responsibilities, I was just burnt out and overwhelmed.

My husband and I want to start a family so in preparation for pregnancy I tried lowered my Vyvanse dose from 40 mg to 30 mg to see if I could get by on lower dose. I feel like I’m not even taking medicine at all. When you lowered a dose did you get used to this feeling or should I know right away that this isn’t going to work? I feel withdrawal like my brain is slow and I can’t keep a thought in my mind long enough to finish the thought. I’m on day 4 and it sucks!

Has anyone switched labs for better lab quality/embryologist experience? Wondering if there is a significant difference between labs.

Thanks.
