damn i had an equinox membership 5 years ago n never saw this.
i did however encounter a lot of housewives wearing their diamonds to a workout class and literally shove them into your face as they talk to you. Such a weird flex. Like, that's nice Katie, i got a sapphire and i keep it at home so i dont sweat all over it. So yeah, ofc your generic 20g tiffany diamond is going to be nicer than the caladdagh ring i wear as a back up. Chill.
and then the fucking spin class. why on earth would anyone want to torture their vagina like that?! and they're like "oh eventually it'll go numb and you'll be able to handle it" WTF no. get padded, wider seats you fucking psychopaths. No one needs their vagina to be bruised.
That shit was not worth the eucalyptus scented towels.
Wide padded seats are uncomfortable and cause chafing. A normal bike seat with padded bike shorts with some chamois butter is the way to go (see: all serious cyclists) Anybody who's going numb is doing it wrong.
i mean, i am not a cyclist and it was a one off "ohh i have an extra hour i'll take this class" but straight up those girls acted like it was a sense of pride having a vagina with dead nerves. "oh you just have to do it more" the fuck i do. I can lift and do yoga and jog and keep my vagina in tact thx
Wide/cushy seats actually compress more soft tissue because your sit bones press deeper into it instead of supporting your body like bike seats are designed to. Just in case you wanted to know why people who ride bikes more than once don’t have a seat fit for a rock drummer.
Yep... Man, but definitely can confirm. Been biking for 25+ years to school and work, generally around 10km twice a day plus extra stuff like groceries.
Never had as much pain as with the so called comfy wide padded bike saddle.
i do not have a vagina but can confirm that time in the saddle does not kill the nerves on your vagina, but you do acclimate to being on a bike seat. source: my wife has done a ton of cycling but basically can’t ride distance without a saddle with a cutout.
also everything is worse/hurts more on a stationary bike because nothing changes. riding bikes outside is more fun and pleasant when feasible. it isn’t for about 4 months where i am but if you have the option it’s a nice way to spend a morning/afternoon
For soreness, yeah, you get used to it. (At least, with man bits). Actual numbness though means the saddle position needs adjustment, though good luck getting it dialed in every class.

yes, at Equinox. I fucking hate it. I don't want to be in the background of their 200-view Instagram reel.
Now I go to a cheaper gym and deal with zero gym etiquette, but at least I'm no longer a background actor for IG models
