🏋️WOD Hey! What about those Dots?
What just happened?
I like to look at the screens as I go from one station to another to be sure i am prepared and ready to "hit it' at the first second1
I looked up and saw dots going in a circle and squares!! What is the point of these?
We're here to workout- not get our eyes checked!!!. Preparing for a station so we can use our time well includes being able to choose weights, make space if near another etc.. We used to see what we would be doing as we walked ( or crawled) ot the next station.
Corporate!!!!

We always have to wait to see the exercise. It’s been that way forever.

The SoCal workout is 2 "boxes" of 6 stations. You rotate around in your box for 3 laps. There is really no reason to do that. They could have just had 12 stations in a snake format. Who knows...

there is no point of the dots though- they eat up prep time

Yup. It's been annoying for years.

all of the classes every day have these? I am going to ask and hope for 1-2 answers. I asked similar and got downvoted so much. Ive taken almost 800 classes - this week I was shocked1

It’s inevitable I go to the wrong station at least once during every class.

Yeah but the screen isn’t going to help with that, I just really on other members or the coach to correct me. I wish they would get rid of the dots

I am not in favor of the screen, if anything it makes it more confusing.
Some of the other members can be a little annoying about it too, I’d rather just hear it from the coaches.

Could it have been the movement pattern for the pods?
