I've shouted her out here before but I love Chelsea Callahan, she's by far my favorite "running influencer." Watching her latest YT video on training for the half and I find it so refreshing to see her running gear not be emblazoned with Lululemon/Tracksmith/Bandit. Even her lint-covered running hat was super relatable.

She lost me with that short video complaining about her classmates' privilege while being utterly blind to her own privilege. Then everything that came after: broadcasting her legal disputes with her landlord; the whole restaurant mishaps; she's the epitome of a sheltered, rich girl fumbling around while everyone else cleans up her messes.

That said, I will say she's a great editor and I like how she doesn't load up her videos with ads like other influencers do. She should stick to the long-form travel vlogs but I pity her boyfriend who came to Korea to flex his chef chops but is now relegated to being her videographer.

She gives some good info but I find her crazy overconsumption and her husband wildly annoying.

Thank you! I find her videos both soothing and motivating, and it’s pretty impressive she does videos regularly while on the med school grind.

She's a new watch for me but I appreciated her video on weight loss and being honest about what it takes/how it's a very gradual process.

Makes me wonder what's in the Austin water for all these runfluencers: Matt Choi, Makayla, Nicole Winter, Dominic F.

Ahahhahhhahah girl I’ve got a bridge to sell ya if you think this guy is gonna put a ring on it. Give it up and find someone else.

I also do NOT recommend SMG Brookline in Brighton. Horrible front desk staff, impossible to see the doctor unless you’re good with an appointment five months out. Online patient portal a total mess. I liked my ob gyn, I just never saw her.

He seems like such a huge douchenozzle, it has to be a parody. His most recent IG video is basically "If you're like me and you're bored after making your first $500k in a year, let me help you figure out your why."

Let's be real, which PCP in the Boston area actually has openings in the near future?

Kelly and Greg are my favorites - consistently challenging programming, good music. You're also in luck b/c the treads at BBY are the best I've run on (smooth, gets to speed quickly, slightly downward tilt), while the ones at Chestnut Hill make me feel like I'm slogging uphill the whole time.

Corepower is my go-to but the classes are so inconsistent. Temperatures vary wildly from barely warm to Satan's bumhole (i.e., the only class I've ever had to leave in the middle). I usually stick with one or two instructors that I know are good.

If I'm feeling motivated, I take a look at what's going on/concerts/free events/exhibits. Mostly I use the weekend to play catch-up on groceries, laundry, paying bills/taxes that I procrastinated on during the week. Boring adult stuff.

Thank you!! I will check it out

For everybody fights, is it ok for someone with zero boxing background?

I like ark, Monday, and negative underwear. The ladies in the nyc thread also liked maaji!

Le’s salon in Chinatown. Very no frills, the stylist will be doing a million other things at the same time, you’re in and out. I got what I wanted for I think less than $40 including tip?

I've had the opposite experience so it might depend on where you are. I'm in Boston and a few Barry's classes are always greyed out in the ClassPass app, like the 6:10/7:20am or 5:30pm ones. ClassPass will also just assign you to a T or F, usually the ones right by the door, and I can't change them on the Barry's app - I just show up a few minutes before and ask if they can manually switch me to another one.

CorePower (multiple locations), Down Under (South End), Evolve (Southie), Radiant Yoga (South Boston) all have it! It's super relaxing and always puts me in a chill mood right before bedtime.

Masterpiece Dentistry in Copley! Their front office staff are a gem.
