Has anyone bought an e-bike? Considering buying one with my firm’s fitness subsidy, is it worth it for someone who would mostly ride in good weather recreationally/for fitness (not commuting on it or anything) maybe once or twice a week?

Haven’t bought one, but I have worked full time as a bicycle mechanic in the past, and I think e bikes are great! I wish I had a fitness subsidy and could buy one. I recommend getting a good one (reputable brand) that is pedal assist, which just means there is no throttle and you have to pedal for the motor to work. I ride a lot, and I would love an e-bike.

I've bought multiple ebikes for fun. Mostly the small folding ebikes because I can throw them in the back of mini Cooper, drive to a charging station and leave the car charging while I ride off to get coffee or go home. They are fun to ride and definitely not foe fitness purposes. If you just want to ride around and soak in the sun, they are a good choice.

Would love to know more. Been eyeing one for a long time and have no idea which brands are worth a look into.

In my opinion, if it’s for recreational/fitness use why not just get a normal bike?

Gym etiquette question - I was in the weight room of my gym and a girl was on a machine for at least 15 min, most if which time she was just sitting on her phone. I did the rest of my workout and politely asked if she was still using it because I could see that she was just sitting. She said no so I said no worries, I’ll wait until she was done. Stood a few feet away and was scrolling on my phone. She started yelling at me that I was hovering and needed me leave. Was I somehow in the wrong?

Our follow up/treatment appointment is in 2 weeks, feeling anxious about next steps!

I have a good skincare regime. I used to suffer from severe acne few years ago but I had it under control until lately I noticed I have been breaking out bad especially near my chin and side of my face. I work out atleast 5 days a week but I shower (body) after workout and I also use BHA, retin A, vit C & moisturizer almost daily. I suspect it’s because I don’t wash my hair daily every time I workout. I don’t want to wash my hair daily but seems like I will have to do it. Any recommendations?

I was struggling to even look at myself in the mirror since this is the heaviest I’ve been. I went back working out at least 4 times a week and eating very healthy. I obviously haven’t lost any weight yet but today was the first time I could look at myself at the mirror without feeling grossed. Felt like freedom in some way 🥲

Benefits Question: how is the health insurance where you are? How does your employer handle it?

This has become one of the most important things when interviewing for me. My last employer went from having no insurance option to giving us one terrible plan that they contributed 50% towards. My current employer works with Gravie so we get so much per month and can use it towards any plan on the marketplace. Only thing that sucks is the contributions are post-tax so it counts as income.

I feel like I workout and don’t see a lot of results for muscle definition (female). How do I change things up to fix this? Help

Hello, I am hoping to find some information about franchising:
1. Any good and reliable educational resources? (Some "reputable" resources seem to provide wrong info if my research is right, e.g., UPS stores - many owners seem to say it is rather risky, but ranked high by some entrpreneurship sources)
2. Thoughts on profitable franchises based on low risk appetite and 400k'ish investment.
3. Are franchising consultants on LinkedIn of any help?
4. Real experiences?
Thanks a ton for any advice.
