Favorite workout or gym in Chicago? I'm looking to change it up, and also want to meet new people. I could just go for Equinox but I'm really on the fence

Dude, yes

FFC is my go to after trying several gyms through class pass. There used to be this boutique gym called RUNAWAY that was one of the best kept secret gyms but it shut down during COVID. I’m hoping they make a come back.

I used to go to FFC and thanks to the many helpful people I met I learned how to swim and eventually ran 4 triathlons. FFC will always be close to my heart!

I highly recommend East Bank Club.

Second this. EBC is pricy but worth it if you live reasonably close and can take advantage of the amenities. In addition to the regular gym workouts, I hang out at the outdoor pool much of the summer, started in-door swimming, go to cycle classes, use the golf range, work from their open office space, and hang out for dinner or happy hour a few times a month. I also keep a permanent locker and take full advantage of the steam shower and sauna almost every time I go. There’s also corporate and couple discounts. The bill for me and my wife is usually $500-600 a month

Train Moment is my fave! They have strength-based circuit training. I would recommend checking out their Instagram which walks you through their program. Also, probably one of the few gyms I see both women and men go to!

where in the city are you ? what type of workouts do you like to do ?

Crosstown fitness (3 locations) is my favorite. HIIT circuit training and all of the coaches are super helpful and personable. Still bummed I moved far enough away where it was no longer a realistic option.

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome. One- I am a woman in a male dominated industry, I didn't go to a prestigious school like most of my peers and I just didn't think I deserved to be there. Everyday was a struggle and tried to keep myself small so no one would find out I was a "fraud." Looking back on it now, wiser and more experienced, I realized how detrimental feeling that way

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
