Personal Trainer recco

I’m hoping to get a recommendation for a person trainer. I’m mid-30s/F. I currently workout regularly (low impact type barre workouts with weights, running, biking). My goal is to build more muscle and I don’t really know where to start on my own at a gym. Plus how to add calories for muscle gain.

A female personal trainer would be great, but open to anyone. I could go to a gym or have someone come to my building (we have a small gym here with basic stuff).

Local recommendations greatly appreciated! (Even better if they have a website with some testimonials too).

Thanks!

Tech Meetup In Norwalk

Hello! I was thinking about creating some kind of a tech meetup in town. But I wasn't sure if 1) there already is one and I missed it, and 2) if there was any real interest in this. I figured there are a lot of NY developers who moved out here and thought maybe there's a critical mass.

Is anyone here interested in something like this?

18F looking to make friends in Norwalk :)

Hi guys,

Posting from a throwaway for privacy reasons, but I’m just looking to make new friends in the area!

I'm an 18 year old female from Norwalk looking to make some friends. I don't care if you're 18 or 28, male or female, let's just have a good time. :)

A little bit about myself:

I do school full time and work part time.

I am a huge nerd. I love gaming. I'm a huge fan of League of Legends/Valorant and I am trying to get into Magic The Gathering. It would be awesome to have friends to play board games, card games, DnD, anything with.

I'm also a huge anime fan. I have watched so much anime in the past year it's insane! If you love anime we will definetely vibe.

On the more basic side, I also like TikTok, Netflix, YouTube, Reddit, and music.

I'm also a really creative person. I love Photoshop, I'm really into diamonds and engagement rings, piercings, and singing.

I'm also into investing and building credit :)

I am in a committed relationship so I am only looking for platonic friendships! Maybe we can go on double dates? That would be so much fun.

If any of this sounds like your vibe, feel free to message me! We can meet up, game together, or just chat online. Let’s connect!

Anyone know of good restaurants in or around Norwalk to start as a server/waiter?

Hi everyone. I'm going to need a new job since my current placement is ending at the end of December, and I'm wondering what trees I can bark up for potentially being a server or other customer-facing person to make enough money for rent.

I don't have much restaurant experience but I do have a Master's Degree and tons of experience and skill in people-facing roles and high-pressure environments. I'm generally good at interviewing and such too.

Anywhere I should start looking? Biggest thing on my bucket list would just be staff/bosses that aren't awful. And I'd just like to make enough money in pay and tips to make bills monthly, which are around 2200 for me.

Any servers in or near Norwalk willing to share stories, as well?

Thanks very much for any responses.

Beginner's Running Club (Slow AF)

I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who would be interested in a running club meant for beginners (or super slow joggers) - people who are in the category of "non-traditional" runners - bigger bodies, people recovering from injuries, or just plain slow runners (anywhere between a 14 min mile to a 18 min mile). I know there are some awesome running clubs (Spacecat has one), but I'm not ready to join one of those....I want to improve and make friends in the process. If there's enough people interested, I can create a Meetup Group. Thoughts?

Looking to move to Norwalk. Anyone with kids in Naramake school that can tell me some of the pros and cons of the school?

Wife and I have a toddler and were looking at schools in the area. We want to look in the Cranbury area but saw some houses in the Naramake district. We are barely getting any information on niche or greatschools about it. Anyone have experience with the school that can speak to it?

Good Aurora viewing spots?

It looks like we'll have a nice opportunity to spot an aurora in the skies tonight.

My wife and I are new to town—who knows a good spot we can drive to (ideally a little north of Norwalk, away from the light pollution) where we could have a nice view of the sky?

I would go to a public park, but I know their lots tend to close at dusk.

All ideas welcome!

Any community groups?

Are there any community groups to meet new people/start a new hobby? I’m not new to the area, but did not grow up here so I find it hard to make friends. Anything for the newly 30 yr olds? Not looking for a singles group as I am married as well. Hubby is from the area & I like sharing his friends, but also want my own. Not a drinker but definitely a smoker lol any apps? Fb groups? Etc

TIA
