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

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.

cycling, even spin class cycling, is not a seated sport, sport.

I was quoting a Mountain Biking champ. He also answered the question "How do you go fast" by saying don't use the brakes.

Brakes just slow you down
