I have 150 classes and used to do class on the 50-100 spring load but noticed changes to my body I didn’t like.

Now I like to stick to the lightest spring load (less than 50 classes) because I feel like my form is better and I’m toned but not as crazy muscular (not one of my body goals).

Are coaches noticing and judging me about this? Sometimes I get the feeling that I should be amplifying or “pushing myself” more but I’m also really happy with my results and performance at this spring load. Maybe I’m just in my head about it but it feels like there’s this unspoken pressure to amplify or increase weight once you’ve been going for a long time.

Anyone else in this boat?

My husband and I are thinking about shooting our shot at Four Charles this weekend since it’s a holiday and the city will be quieter, plus the weather is supposed to be pretty bad.

We want to walk in — which day do you think we’d have the best luck? We can try for lunch Saturday or Sunday (was advised to show up before they open, around 10am) or dinner on Monday aka Memorial Day (we’d show up around 3pm).

Not sure what’s the right move because of the holiday or if this is even a good plan given that others may have the same idea, but any advice for when to try (and how to maximize our chances of getting a table) would be great.

Thanks so much!

How would you guys rank the NYC influencers in terms of overall popularity / influence? I feel like there are almost “tiers” of popularity.

I would say Halley and Acquired are def both the most popularity / talked about with like Greta and Audrey Peters a tier below, then Danielle and Jaz, etc. Carly on the bottom of course

Curious if anyone else has ever thought about this (I know it’s so dumb I’m sick as a dog in bed and bored)

EDIT: to clarify I don’t mean popular WITH New Yorkers. I meant popular in the sense of their growth and how they are perceived by brands/their overall desirability

Like I’m genuinely curious what it is about her that just doesn’t hit the mark bc basically all of the other NYC influencers who started when she did during covid or even after have far surpassed her.

She doesn’t get invited on brand trips or to events or even seem to do many brand deals, I feel like her content is super boring and she doesn’t have a ton going on socially, and obviously her fashion sense is lacking compared to other influencers but I truly don’t think her looks or style is the reason…I feel like there’s something about her personality that just isn’t as likable or engaging to the masses and I’m curious what you guys think it is

*also just to get ahead of ppl saying it’s bc she’s a Zionist, a lot of other nyc influencers are pro Israel and it doesn’t rlly impact their popularity or views in the same way so I don’t think that’s the main reason*
