OMG! So jealous 😍 would love a LM dedicated studio/gym over here as that is all I do. I loved SD as a participant love even more teaching, currently learning the new 13, 14 & 15 ahead of teaching for the first time in a few weeks 😊

I’m in sunny Scotland, UK. I’m a big fan of The Trip, do regularly in my home studio. Not any demand for it in any of the many venues I currently teach my programmes though, everyone seems happy with RPM & Sprint.

As my current 10 Les Mills programmes I currently teach aren’t enough πŸ˜‚ I am now working toward completing 6 additional ones, BodyJam, Core, Dance, RPM, Sprint & Tone πŸ₯°

New routine appears to be working well coupled with a few nutrition tweaks. Today marks my muscle mass hitting 120.6lbs (up 4.2lbs) out of the 139.7lbs total I currently weigh, assuming the Tanita segmental body analysis machine I use is accurate. Definitely feel stronger and faster 😊

Thank you. My streak originally ran from day one of the 1st gen Watch 2015 but an Apple so called genius accidentally deleted all the data from my first two Watches in 2017 when I was having issues switching to the Series 3. It’s addictive when you’re on a long streak πŸ˜‚

Yeah, very pricey to fix an already pricey Apple Watch. All my Apple Watches have really accurate outdoors, my Ultra 2’s are the most accurate I’ve had. Just realised that my new treadmill is WiFi/Bluetooth connectable with speed and distance transmitted to Apple Watch so will try that and see.

The Stryd sensor is probably overkill for my needs with the dynamics I get from my Garmin devices but apparently improves indoor running accuracy with Apple Watches similar to the old Nike+ foot sensors I use to use with iPod touches and older iPhones prior to Apple Watch.

Had every Apple Watch since launch, no matter how often or how long I run outside the indoor accuracy has never been great. All Garmin have been within 200th of a mile with a fully calibrated treadmill. I use an HRM Pro Plus which does full running dynamics and improves accuracy further with Garmins

First attempt at running in over six months since my operations. Will stick to my treadmill until I have enough confidence to return to outdoor running. Considering buying a Stryd sensor as my Apple Watch Ultra 2 was out by over 2/10ths a mile compared to my Garmin Epix Pro 2 & treadmill.
