Any recs for relatively affordable low-key trainers/gyms/programs around? I gained the COVID 50 (ugh) and am pretty embarrassed about my current shape so I don’t want to jump into a full group fitness class just yet. I’d like to start with some solo workouts but still have the accountability of a group fitness like Orange Theory (which I was pretty into pre-COVID). Also “affordable” meaning I can basically use the annual $1k fitness subsidy we get from Uncle D and pay minimal out of pocket.

Trainers are super pricey. If you have $1k, you are looking at like 10 workouts. That’s not going to move the needle.

Seriously don’t be embarrassed to go to the gym. Literally no one there knows you. Maybe just force it upon yourself for 3 weeks and get over that first hump. I know easier said than done…

Why not just go back to orange theory or F45?

I’ve been using an app called Future and have been really enjoying it. You have a coach who programs all of your workouts and you can work with them on the type of workouts you want to do and how often. You let them know what equipment you have access to and they will plan accordingly so you can go to any gym or do it from home. I still find it has the accountability aspect I always valued from signing up for classes. It’s not cheap but they offer new member deals or I can send you a free month.

I am a personal trainer on the side . Happy to have an intro call with you to discuss goals , expectations, what I can offer , etc. The industry is full of people who don’t have the practical knowledge, be careful in who you pick . Let me know if you are interested.

Use and app called Street Parking. $20 per month for free daily workouts based off some pretty basic gym equipment. They also have options for scaled versions for the workouts and they are typically no longer than 30mins.

Class pass has one on one training sessions that you can book

My CrossFit gym is $220/mo. Classes are rarely more than 5 peeps, so it’s almost like personal training without the $100/session they charge for individual instruction. It’s right by the Rosslyn office too, so it’s a good after work activity.

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share
