Men Who Improved Health Preconception - Impact On Partner Pregnancy

Looking to speak to men who went on a health/fitness journey prior to conceiving a child Hey everyone, I hope you're okay with me posting here - the mods have said that it's okay. I'm Alice Porter and I'm a freelance journalist currently working on a pitch about men trying to improve their health and fitness before they try for a baby. There have been a number of social media posts about how certain issues women face during pregnancy including morning sickness and preeclampsia are linked to the father's health at the point of conception. Was this something you take into account or will be taking into account for potential future pregnancies? If so, I'd love to hear why you made this decision and how you changed/will be changing your health/fitness routines in the hopes of your partner having a better pregnancy. I'm still pitching this story, but hoping to place it with the Guardian. The piece will be handled sensitively, and I can keep you anonymous if you'd prefer. You can see some examples of my other articles here: https://www.wordsbyalice.com/journalism-1 Please leave me a comment or send me a message here if you're interested in speaking to me for the piece.

Runfluencers quitting running? Journalism request Hi everyone, I'm a freelance journalist working on a piece forThe Guardianabout fitness influencers and 'runfluencers' who have stepped back from running, scaled back their training, or taken a break from creating content around the sport. I've noticed a few of creatorstalking about issuessuch as the pressure to post consistently, feeling unable to take time off, performing for social media rather than enjoying running, and the increasingly competitive nature of online running spaces affecting their relationship with the sport. I'm interested in hearing whether anyone here has seen similar experiences from influencers they follow.Have any creators spoken openly about burnout, exercise addiction, comparison culture, or losing their love of running because of social media, and quit or taken a step back as a result?If so, I'd be v grateful to get their names from you! I'll also be speaking with psychologists about healthy ways to navigate exercise addiction, comparison, and burnout - so I really hope it'll be a helpful read for people. Thanks so much in advance!

Long-Term Fitness Tracker Users - Reliability, Accuracy & Value

Is there a clear winner for the best fitness tracker, or not really? I've been noticing that fitness tracker recommendations seem to depend heavily on who you ask. One person will say there's an obvious best choice, while someone else with completely different priorities will strongly disagree. For anyone unfamiliar, fitness trackers are wearable devices that monitor things like steps, heart rate, sleep, workouts, recovery, and general activity levels. Some are simple bands focused on health metrics, while others blur the line between tracker and smartwatch. People usually start researching them when they want more insight into their activity, training, or overall health habits. I've been researching fitness trackers pretty heavily for a guide I'm putting together. I've gone through reviews, comparison articles, expert rankings, and videos, but real-world experiences often tell a more complete story. Reddit discussions tend to reveal long-term reliability issues, battery life realities, tracking accuracy, and whether people still find the device useful months or years later. I'm trying to make the recommendations as accurate and genuinely helpful as possible rather than just repeating whatever ranks highest on review sites. A few things I'd love to hear from actual users: Which fitness tracker have you used the longest, and how has it held up? Was there a tracker you were excited about that ended up disappointing you? Which metrics do you actually pay attention to after the first few months? Are there any highly recommended trackers that you think are mostly hype? What surprised you most after living with a tracker long term? Which tracker offers the best balance of accuracy, battery life, and value? Who do you think would be better off skipping a fitness tracker altogether? From what I've gathered so far, fitness trackers seem to fall into a few broad categories: simple activity bands, recovery-focused wearables, GPS-focused fitness watches, and smartwatch-style devices with fitness features. The factors that come up most often are tracking accuracy, battery life, comfort, app quality, and whether the data actually leads to useful behavior changes. One thing that feels a bit marketing-driven is the sheer number of health scores and readiness metrics some devices promote. A lot of users seem to end up focusing on just a handful of measurements while ignoring most of the extra data. I've also noticed that people sometimes chase the most feature-packed device when a simpler tracker would probably fit their needs better. The strongest pattern so far is that consistency, comfort, and ease of use seem to matter more than having the longest feature list. I'm trying to put together something actually useful and avoid recommending devices that look impressive on a spec sheet but don't provide much value in day-to-day use. Would love to hear real experiences before I finalize anything. Anything I'm missing here? Curious what people who've actually used these think.

Long-Term Rowing Machine Owners - Value Vs Price & Durability

Is the “best rowing machine” just the most expensive one? I keep seeing the same pattern when looking into rowing machines. A few models get recommended over and over, but then someone else comes along and says a much cheaper option has worked perfectly for years. It made me wonder how much of the "best" label is actually about performance versus price. For anyone unfamiliar, a rowing machine is a piece of cardio equipment designed to mimic the motion of rowing on water. People use them for full-body workouts, conditioning, weight loss, endurance training, and general fitness. They seem popular because they combine cardio and strength work in one machine while being relatively low impact on the joints. I've been researching rowing machines pretty heavily lately to put together a guide and some recommendations that are actually useful. I've gone through reviews, comparison articles, YouTube videos, and manufacturer specs, but real user experiences usually reveal things that don't show up in professional reviews. I'd like to hear from people who've spent months or years with these machines so I can make the research more accurate and avoid pointing people toward products that only look good on paper. A few questions: Which rowing machine have you used the longest, and how has it held up? Was there anything that surprised you after owning it for a while, good or bad? Have you used both premium and budget models? Was the difference worth the extra money? Which machines seem overhyped based on your experience? What features sounded important before purchase but ended up not mattering much? Who do you think should avoid certain types of rowing machines altogether? If you could only recommend one machine based on value rather than prestige, what would it be and why? My notes so far: From what I've found, the biggest categories are air, magnetic, water, and hydraulic rowers. Air rowers seem popular among people who want a gym-style feel, while magnetic models are often recommended for quieter home use. Water rowers get praise for their rowing feel and appearance, while hydraulic options seem to be the budget entry point. The things that keep coming up most often are durability, consistency of resistance, comfort during longer sessions, and whether replacement parts are available years later. Marketing tends to focus heavily on screens, subscriptions, and smart features, but many long-term users seem to care more about reliability and overall rowing feel. One mistake I see repeatedly is people focusing on resistance levels and ignoring ergonomics, storage needs, or maintenance requirements. Another pattern is that some of the most recommended machines aren't necessarily the newest ones—they're the models that have proven themselves over time. I'm trying to put together something actually useful and avoid recommending bad products to people based only on marketing or review sites. Would love to hear real experiences before I finalize anything. Anything I'm missing here? Curious what people who've actually used these think.

L&D Leaders With Level 3 & 4 Evaluation Systems - Audit Evidence

Donald Kirkpatrick published his four-level training evaluation model in 1959. Sixty-seven years later, most organizations still stop at Level 2. A quick refresher. ▸ Level 1 — Reaction. Did they like the training? ▸ Level 2 — Learning. Did they pass the post-test? ▸ Level 3 — Behavior. Are they doing it on the job 90 days later? ▸ Level 4 — Results. Did business outcomes change? Level 1 is a smile sheet. Level 2 is an exam. Levels 1 and 2 are inexpensive, well-instrumented, and present in essentially every training program I've ever audited — from a $563M Department of Defense human-performance contract at Booz Allen, to a regional hospital system, to a national franchise. The Level 1 and Level 2 evidence is genuinely there. Levels 3 and 4 are different. Level 3 requires structured field observation, calibrated evaluators, and a records system that connects the training event to a behavior weeks or months later. Level 4 requires the additional capability to attribute outcome changes to a specific training intervention — rather than to confounding factors. Most training programs cannot produce Level 3 evidence on demand. Almost none can produce Level 4 evidence at all. That gap matters for three reasons. First, the regulators have moved. Across healthcare, federal contracting, franchise insurance, and accredited fitness, the documentation standard is shifting from "training was delivered" to "competency was validated." The artifacts auditors will expect in 2026 are Level 3 artifacts. Second, the workforce already knows. When nurses describe annual training as "repetitive," when operators describe simulations as "checking the block," when employees describe a course they've completed five times — that is the workforce naming a structural problem. A working Level 3 evaluation architecture would have surfaced the problem internally before the engagement survey did. Third, ROI lives at Level 4. The C-suite question — "what did we get for the training spend?" — is a Level 4 question. Programs that can answer it get funded. Programs that cannot, get cut. The fix is not more training content. It is the records architecture that connects training to behavior to outcome. I'll be posting more on this in the weeks ahead — what Level 3 evidence looks like by industry, where most programs break, and what the current Joint Commission, FAR, and franchise-insurer expectations actually require. If your organization has built a Level 3/4 architecture that works, or if you have watched one fail under audit pressure, I want to hear about it. — Adam J.

Evanston & Chicagoland Young People - Protein, Gym Trends, Orthorexia

Health trends in youth - seeking interviews for story Hi! I’m a student journalist at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, and I’m doing a feature article on health trends in young people and how it’s affecting the body, specifically looking at the Evanston/Chicagoland area. More specifically, I’m interested in exploring the rise of protein consumption (caused by small/big brands launching protein products), the rise of gym going, and the normalization of disordered eating (orthorexia) through wellness culture on social media. Ultimately, I want to answer the question, who is shaping young people’s idea of health? And what is that effect? I’m looking to interview psychologists, fitness trainers, social media influencers, students, parents, food industry workers, etc. But I want to emphasize that I want to hear from anyone who has a particular opinion on this!!! Please DM if you would be interested, I would need to phone or video call you.

Muay Thai Fighters in Thailand - Small Authentic Gym Documentary

Looking for an authentic Muay Thai gym in Thailand for a documentary project Hey everyone, My name is Max, I’m a filmmaker from France and I’m currently preparing a small personal documentary project about Muay Thai in Thailand. The idea is simple: I would love to spend a few days in an authentic gym and follow one local fighter during the preparation for a fight, to create a short cinematic documentary (around 10 minutes) about his/her journey, training, mindset and daily life. I’ve already been to Thailand several times and I genuinely love the culture, the people and the mindset there. What I especially love about Thailand is the humility, discipline and calm energy that many Thai people have. Every time I come back, I feel inspired by it. I’m not looking for a huge commercial gym or “fitness tourism” experience. I’m more interested in a smaller and more authentic camp with a real atmosphere and strong human stories. This is a completely personal project, not commercial. The documentary would also be free content for the gym and fighter to use on their social media if they want. If anyone has recommendations for gyms, fighters, trainers or regions that could fit this kind of project, I would really appréciate it 🙏 Thank you!

VR Basketball Developers - Immersive Sports Experiences & Access

Most people still think gaming and sports are separate worlds. They’re not. The future of sports is being built inside immersive experiences, virtual spaces, and interactive communities right now. 🏀🎮 And the people building it deserve more visibility. That’s exactly why we created Jams & Joysticks. Too many innovators are creating groundbreaking experiences that never get the spotlight they deserve, not because the ideas aren’t powerful… but because the right people never hear their story. So we’re changing that. 🎙️ Our newest episode features Christine Schwarz, co-founder of Virtual Round Ballers. And this conversation opens up a much bigger discussion about where gaming, fitness, sports, and VR are all heading next. ⸻ In this episode, we dive into: 🏀 How Christine went from fitness enthusiast to VR innovator 🚀 Building immersive basketball experiences in virtual reality 🧠 Why accessibility and engagement matter in sports tech 🌍 How VR can connect players of all ages and skill levels This isn’t just about gaming. It’s about the future of human interaction, sports training, entertainment, and community. And honestly… we’re only scratching the surface. ⸻ What makes conversations like this important is that innovation no longer lives only inside massive studios or billion-dollar companies. Some of the most creative ideas shaping the future are coming from independent creators, startups, developers, and visionaries building things people haven’t fully imagined yet. That’s who we want to highlight. That’s who we want the world to see. 🎥 Watch the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eM2BWDBU ⸻ Jams & Joysticks is continuing to grow: 🌍 Expanding across the global gaming community 📺 Bringing conversations to Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, and connected TV platforms 🎮 Showcasing more developers, creators, founders, and innovators 🚀 Creating a space where gaming culture, technology, and storytelling collide ⸻ So if you are: 🎮 Building a game 🥽 Innovating in VR or immersive tech 🧠 Creating new experiences in sports or gaming 🚀 Building something people need to see Let’s connect.

Young Adults 18-30 - Protein & Gym Culture & Orthorexia

Health trends in young people - seeking perspectives for article Hi! I’m a student journalist at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, and I’m doing a feature article on health trends in young people and how it’s affecting the body. More specifically, I’m interested in exploring the rise of protein consumption (caused by small/big brands launching protein products), the rise of gym going, and the normalization of disordered eating (orthorexia) through wellness culture on social media. Ultimately, I want to answer the question, who is shaping young people’s idea of health? And what is that effect? I’m looking to interview psychologists, fitness trainers, social media influencers, students, parents, food industry workers, etc. But I want to emphasize that I want to hear from anyone who has a particular opinion on this!!! Please DM if you would be interested, I would need to phone or video call you.

Women 35+ & Adults 40+ - Cortisol Management or Choosing Parenthood

Call for sources! Hey folks, I'm researching for two different articles and would love an intro to your friend/cousin/colleague/whomever that sounds like one of the below: 1. She focuses on controlling #cortisol to improve her physical or mental wellbeing. She has tried diets, fitness plans, medical advice or anything else specifically to manage cortisol. Age 35+ preferred. 2. She (he, or they) didn't want kids until their 40s, or were ambivalent about kids before 40 at which point that turned to a "yes". 3. She (he, or they) are cortisol-focused influencer/content creator with a business plan and/or POV directly related to cortisol. Looking for personal experience/anecdotes for both. DMs are fine! Thank you!

Digital Outreach Experts - Ending Ghosting for Fitness Launch Mexico

Am I becoming outdated? / ¿Me estoy quedando atrás? I’ve spent 25 years in the fitness industry, navigating different roles, power dynamics, and big egos. I thought I knew how to open doors. But lately, I’ve been facing a wall of silence. As I launch my new project with LEVER Movement in Mexico, 90% of the people I contact—athletes and influencers I actually admire—simply ghost me. It has made me wonder: Is my approach outdated? Is the "old school" way of direct, professional conversation no longer desirable in this digital age? I’m opening the "black box" of this frustration in today’s Mr. Jones newsletter. But more than a complaint, this is a call for help. If you have mastered the art of digital outreach or if you’ve found a better way to make a product "desirable" in today's noise, I want to hear from you. ________________________________________________________________________________ He pasado 25 años en la industria del fitness, navegando diferentes roles, dinámicas de poder y grandes egos. Pensé que sabía cómo abrir puertas. Pero últimamente, me he topado con un muro de silencio. Mientras lanzo mi nuevo proyecto con LEVER Movement en México, el 90% de las personas a las que contacto —atletas e influencers que realmente admiro— simplemente no contestan. Esto me ha hecho preguntarme: ¿Mi enfoque es anticuado? ¿La forma "vieja escuela" de tener una conversación profesional y directa ya no es deseable en esta era digital? Hoy en Mr. Jones abro la "caja negra" de esta frustración. Pero más que una queja, este es un llamado de ayuda. Si has dominado el arte del contacto digital o si has encontrado una mejor manera de hacer que un producto sea "deseable" entre tanto ruido, quiero escucharte.

Fathers & Father Figures - Positive Fatherhood Stories

Do you have a story about a great father to share? I didn't have much of a father. He was abusive, and as a result, I grew up under my mother's boot heel. As a result, I lived as a shadow of a man most of my life. It was awful. With that said, I think we focus too much on the negative when it comes to fathers. The Homer Simpson effect. I want to hear your stories of great fathers who taught you to be a good, kind, providing man. Could be your own experience as a dad, something your father gave you or didn't, or someone who showed up as a father figure. This would be for YouTube. It's a new series I'm creating to show off what positive masculinity can look like, especially in father form. Some of the topics I'm exploring: rebuilding after divorce, raising sons, co-parenting, fitness and physical practice, spiritual life as a father, financial stewardship across generations, dating in midlife with integrity, and the broader question of what fatherhood looks like as a mission rather than a role. If you're living in one of these areas or seeing it from an angle I haven't mentioned, I'd like to hear from you. DM me please.

Electric Vehicle Owners - Denied Access to Event & Driving Data

Four weeks. That's how long I'd had my brand new, all-electric 2026 Toyota bZ when a driver struck my vehicle on I-405, hitting the side of the car where my toddler and my elderly mother were sitting. A vehicle equipped with dozens of sensors, cameras, and onboard AI systems that monitor everything from lane positioning to braking patterns in real time. My car knew exactly what happened. Every input, every output, every millisecond of data leading up to and through the impact. I can't access any of it. When I contacted Toyota about retrieving my vehicle's Event Data Recorder and driving data, I hit a wall that had nothing to do with technology and everything to do with policy. The car collected the data. The car used the data. But the person behind the wheel, the person whose driving generated that data in the first place, has no meaningful right to it under current U.S. law. In Europe, this would be a different conversation. GDPR Article 15 gives individuals the right to access personal data collected about them. Article 20 gives them the right to receive it in a portable format. If my car knows everything about how I drive, European law says I have the right to see what it knows. U.S. law says almost nothing. This isn't a niche automotive issue. It's the consumer rights question of the next decade. Every AI-enabled product we interact with, our cars, our phones, our home devices, our workplace tools, is collecting behavioral data, building models from it, and making decisions based on it. The gap between what these systems know and what they make available to the humans generating that data is growing wider, not narrower. We talk a lot about AI transparency in this industry. Usually we mean model explainability or algorithmic bias. But there's a more fundamental layer: do you have the right to see what an AI system recorded about you? Can you access the data your own behavior generated? And if not, who does that data actually belong to? My car knew everything and said nothing. That's not a technology problem. That's a design choice protected by a regulatory vacuum. And until we close that gap, every person interacting with an AI-enabled product is generating value they can't access, can't verify, and can't use in their own defense. This is one of several edge cases I'm exploring in a book I'm developing on AI's unresolved boundaries:https://lnkd.in/diQ4zcww I'd love to hear from my network. Have you ever been unable to access data that was yours? A vehicle, a medical device, a fitness tracker, a workplace tool that knew more about your behavior than you were allowed to see? Or do you have thoughts on where data privacy rights need to go from here? Drop your story or perspective in the comments or shoot me a DM, I would love to connect!
