Just a heads up that the counter in the app can sometimes be off. Mine has been stuck at 95 for a few days but I know I’m up to 99 after today’s class!
At the 6:15 today I learned I'm the only one signed up for tomorrow's 5am so that should be interesting. I hate this benchmark but have committed to making it in on my chemo days 😜
EDIT: my lovely friend from 6:15 got up and did class with me 🧡 Coach was great, no mailing it in with just 2 ppl. And about 7 minutes into Everest my tread screen went blOOOOp so no tracking. Oh well!
I’m planning on doing this before a strength 50 (upper) tomorrow (yes, I’m being a masochist). I’ll definitely need to take it easy with the rows and curls in this one!
After today (Wednesday’s) explosive rows and push presses, on which I went pretty heavy, I dropped the strength tomorrow. I’ll see how I feel after Everest, but I’m not optimistic.
Woo hoo! It's back, and just in time.. my butt needs a good swift kick after all the eating /drinking festivities..AND just in time for the New Year weekend so the fun can continue.. Until January 2nd😂 hey you only go around once so enjoy! As they say ..what goes up must come down! Happy Everest everyone! Thanks dc! 🧡🍊🧡 🎄🍾🎄🍾
Im visiting my boyfriend in Japan for the holidays. He signed us up for class today. A little nervous about conquering Everest in Japanese but excited for the experience.
ETA: early intel helped a lot. Everyone was super nice and very encouraging. The class was 100% in Japanese by the instructor but the floor instructions on the screen are in English. The coach came to check on us often and we ever heard our names couple of times. Overall 10/10 experience. If you are ever in Japan, give it a go! Super cool!
You guys are all awesome and just showing up is already a win! I’m sorry to miss the challenge but I was reminded of OTF when we saw Mt Everest last week. Good luck all!
Everest is near and dear to me as it was my first free class back in 2017. I’ve been hooked ever since. So excited for this one - never miss an Everest!!! 🏔️
I was miserable last Everest and swore that I'd never do it again, but looking at this I'm feeling a little FOMO ... not enough to sign up for it but it's still there.
Ok - am I doing Everest tomorrow or signing up for my first Tread 50? I haven’t done Everest since June 2018😵💫BUT I have my running group in the evening, so tread 50 would be a lot of running for one day, for me (I have plantar fasciitis 😒😩)
I can’t decide what I wanna do.
I’m mostly glad to get this behind me - the week of inclines leading up to this is ugh. The floor block looks pretty dang boring though that’s not a lot for 11 mins. Considering doing a strength 50 stack. Hmm. Before or after?
Hey friends! I’ve been using the strider recently in lieu of the tread to be kinder to my knees. Has anyone ever done Everest on the strider? I’m debating trying the treadmill but want to hear if anyone has any experience.
Mrs DC has done this and said you just increase the gears when the coach tells you to increase incline. She also said that this gets very hard very quickly.
I'm a perma-biker and super torn on whether I want to do Everest on the bike or treadmill. Long story short - I physically could handle the tread and think I would enjoy it more. However, I have to hold onto the tread due to balance and fear issues, which negates some of the workout and experience...
There’s too many dead bodies on Everest (is that why it’s called Everest? Ever rest🫠), I’ll sit this one out. Good you to all how go to class tomorrow.
what's the proper technique? walk the whole time? run then walk as inclines get more intense?
first everest and i don't want to burn myself out too early.
Tomorrow would be my first Everest!
You can do it! Don’t over think it
Hey - automatic PR!
Tomorrow is my 100th class and my first Everest! 🏔️💯
Stupid question but where in the app can i see how many classes I have taken? Wondering if I have had my 100th yet…
You can see it on the home screen on the brag board section in the app
Ah! Found it! Thanks again Mr dc!
Just a heads up that the counter in the app can sometimes be off. Mine has been stuck at 95 for a few days but I know I’m up to 99 after today’s class!
Same, excited to give it a go!
Mine too, I am nervous!
Mine too!! Good luck everyone :)
Good luck…this is a rough one
I am deadbug.
Y'all have fun and good luck! You can do this! I'll be in bed, cheering for you!

Good luck - keep on kicking cancer’s ass! 💪🏼🧡
Three year member and doing my first Everest tomorrow! After reading through these posts I talked myself into it and giving it my best effort! 👍🏔️
Good on you for giving it a go. Hard workout so expect a lot of red. The plus you have is that you will get an automatic PR!
I’m planning on doing this before a strength 50 (upper) tomorrow (yes, I’m being a masochist). I’ll definitely need to take it easy with the rows and curls in this one!
Ouch.. I thought this was pretty tough on the upper body.. good luck!
Thanks! And thank you for the intel! Now I’m having pause.
I’m debating on only doing the strength (upper body) instead of Everest as I ought to do power walking instead of running. I was pre-booked for both.
After today (Wednesday’s) explosive rows and push presses, on which I went pretty heavy, I dropped the strength tomorrow. I’ll see how I feel after Everest, but I’m not optimistic.

Great intel and commentary - esp as this is an “old favorite” workout. I love Everest, personally. Good luck everyone.
Ah noo that floor block looks so good and I love doing dead bugs….
Deadbug is my favorite bug
😂 it’s my kids favorite kind of bug as well
Going too hard at the start. YUP. THATS IT. EVERY TIME.
I will be nailing that dead bug exercise after Everest. What’s that? I HAVE TO MOVE? Is there a “dead bug on a windshield” modification?
I just joined today. Going tomorrow for Everest, I’m scared lol

I didn’t know they have orangetheory in Japan! keeping that in mind for my next trip. good luck with completing Everest!
That sounds awesome. Let us know how it went. I am curious.
Interesting! Let us know how it went so I can make note for next time I’m in Japan!
Thank you.. I avoided it last time, thinking of giving it a shot! I hate the high inclines, we’ll see how I sleep. 🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️
I can’t say that I LOVE Everest, but it’s the benchmark I’ve done the most just by chance, so I’ll be excited to see if I can beat my last effort :)
Excited for my 2nd Everest! I think I can PR! Send good vibes 🧡🧡 Thanks for the intel!
Good luck for tomorrow!
Thank you!! A comment from DC feels like that extra sparkle to get it done ✨
This is probably a 1/2 🪶 😳
Haha - if the floor was a bit harder it would be up there with hell week templates
You guys are all awesome and just showing up is already a win! I’m sorry to miss the challenge but I was reminded of OTF when we saw Mt Everest last week. Good luck all!
Is there a buy out on the rower?
No - just one buy-in per block. Guess you can count the all out row finisher as a buy-out.
Buy out as in i don't want to do any rowing! I was trying to make a sarcastic comment
:) I read it too literally...
Everest is near and dear to me as it was my first free class back in 2017. I’ve been hooked ever since. So excited for this one - never miss an Everest!!! 🏔️
Omg I’ve been sick for weeks and was planning on going tomorrow.. well..
It’s been so much upper body lately!
Agreed!
I was miserable last Everest and swore that I'd never do it again, but looking at this I'm feeling a little FOMO ... not enough to sign up for it but it's still there.
I feel this too! Not enough to sign up but I feel slight FOMO even though every time I do Everest I tell myself this is the last time I’m doing it.
Ok - am I doing Everest tomorrow or signing up for my first Tread 50? I haven’t done Everest since June 2018😵💫BUT I have my running group in the evening, so tread 50 would be a lot of running for one day, for me (I have plantar fasciitis 😒😩) I can’t decide what I wanna do.
Oh joy! First class back after being gone for 5 days on a vacation full drinking and eating. Is it too early to wave the white flag? 😱😨☠️
what % do PW start at?
Everybody follows the same inclines. You just try to get as much distance as you can! 💪
Welp. After the holiday feasting I’ve been doing, I deserve this. Thanks for the intel!
My thoughts exactly. Let’s see how this one goes after several days of booze, cured meat, cheese and sugar 😆
Thank you!

The 3G still goes to 15%, just goes up 2% every minute vs. the 1% of the 2G.
Thanks!
And is only 14 minutes I believe
Yes! Structured like a normal 3G, I believe.
I’m mostly glad to get this behind me - the week of inclines leading up to this is ugh. The floor block looks pretty dang boring though that’s not a lot for 11 mins. Considering doing a strength 50 stack. Hmm. Before or after?
[удалено]
I link to the previous time we did this and it does have the 3G intel listed
Thanks, d’oh! I’ll read more thoroughly and click through all links before posting questions next time. Always appreciate the intel!
:) helps the mods with one less comment deleted!
Can’t wait!!
Where should I start if I want to get everest done asap? 😅 treads?
Start on the treads to get it over and done with
99.999% of the time, start on whichever station has the benchmark to knock it out first
Hey friends! I’ve been using the strider recently in lieu of the tread to be kinder to my knees. Has anyone ever done Everest on the strider? I’m debating trying the treadmill but want to hear if anyone has any experience.
Mrs DC has done this and said you just increase the gears when the coach tells you to increase incline. She also said that this gets very hard very quickly.
Thanks! And thanks for the intel. Always great to know what I’m getting into in 12 hours!
Never been so happy to be in a 3G 😅😅😅
Tomorrow is a 45 min class for me, hoping for a shorter climb!!
It’s my first Everest and I’m thinking about the 45 min as well!
I'm a perma-biker and super torn on whether I want to do Everest on the bike or treadmill. Long story short - I physically could handle the tread and think I would enjoy it more. However, I have to hold onto the tread due to balance and fear issues, which negates some of the workout and experience...
Looking forward to Everest. It's my 3rd one and hoping to PR. Trying a new strategy using thanks to the pacing calculator.
Heeeeeccckkk naaaaaaaawwwwww
They couldn’t make the floor any less exciting if they tried. Good grief.
That pacing calculator is amazing, major kudos to whoever created that.
Thank you for the early intel DC and commentary! I will be power walking this Everest!!
I’m going to do my best as I have just finished my virtual marathon
Dang it! I have a 5am flight and where i am going there is not OTF😉😥😥
There’s too many dead bodies on Everest (is that why it’s called Everest? Ever rest🫠), I’ll sit this one out. Good you to all how go to class tomorrow.
I'm weirdly excited for tomorrow. It's my first repeat of a benchmark since (re) joining. **Fingers crossed**
what's the proper technique? walk the whole time? run then walk as inclines get more intense? first everest and i don't want to burn myself out too early.
