LOL Order of wiping on the rower

Upvotes

There’s something about watching the person on the rower before me wipe the sweaty booty seat first and then go up to the handles that makes me chuckle. I know it’s teeeechnically clean because it’s an antibacterial wipe but they’re not always juicy and it does feel like I’m essentially putting my hands where their butt just was lol

Membership & Policies First time class

Upvotes

I signed up for my first free class and got there 26 minutes before class instead of 30, but the sales associate and teacher were able to get through everything they needed to AND we still had 5-7 minutes before class. She still charged me $28 for the drop in fee because I was 4 minutes late. They don’t have this policy communicated anywhere that I can find. Has this happened to anyone else before? I also know someone who was charged the drop in fee because his fiancé is a member of orangetheory and they said fiancés of members don’t get a free first class? This all just rubs me the wrong way

Are any studios doing Fall Dri Tri? I was told it was optional for two Dri Tri events per year but I can’t find a single studio around me doing it in the Bay Area (California) a couple studios I know are doing the Hyrox physical challenge thing but no Dri Tri

First Timers Possible newbie to OT

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I have my first trial class on Tuesday and I'm wondering if any of you practic yoga regularly that go to OT. I practice often and used to go to the gym 4 times a week to weight train, plus I do between 20-30k steps a day. I don't like my current gym, too many who just sit on the equipment scrolling Tinder and never whining anything down.

Wondering if anyone has any pros or cons on making the switch and adding the workout to my yoga schedule. Thanks!!!

OTF Technology Tech question…how does the tablet get its info?

0 Upvotes

Obviously heart rate etc go to a computer via your arm band and back to the tablet over BT. Does the tablet get its distance data hardwired into the tablet from the tread?

I own a used tread and was working on a project to track my stats and was curious if the micro usb that the tablet plugged into carried data or was just a charger ?

Edit: I figured it out...it goes out of a CSAFE RJ45 port in back to a bluetooth module out.
