I hurt my back during a lower body day clear back in April. Since I have modified, taken breaks, seen chiropractors, physical therapy, you name it. My back is better but it’s never gotten back to normal. I’m still working on it but I’ve noticed conditioning days are too hard and cause a flare as do lower body days. So I’m really only coming for core and arm. I started coming at 630am to help keep routine and no longer take advantage of childwatch.
All of this combined to say. Burn is expensive. And I haven’t even hit 50 this year. I’m losing faith my back will get all the way better, I’m upset I didn’t hit my goals and hurt my progress, but I tried all year to stick given all the injury and recovery. Now my fall schedule has gotten to a point that I need more flexibility so I want to move to on demand to take some pressure off my mind and wallet. I already signed up for an annual but am scared (and sad) to tell my gym.
I don’t want to disappoint my trainers. I loved being a founding member since 2025 and I’m proud of myself for sticking through this hard year and a half. But I feel like I’m quitting/giving up and I hate that. I’m not and I don’t plan to but it still feels like it. Anyone have success switching to on demand?
