Dasha, 26, chef
What did you do in the gym today?
I'm training for a marathon right now. The New York City Marathon.
Awesome — I want to cheer on the marathon this year. Are you running for a charity?
I'm running for Gilda's Club. I'm very excited; it's my first marathon. I'm also taking all these strength classes and core-exercise classes.
I think you pull off those shoes, but a lot of people think Vibrams are creepy. Any comment?
They are creepy, but I feel better working out with them. I take these weight-lifting classes, and I tried the regular sneakers, but it just wasn't working out. I do anything that doesn't involve running either barefoot or in these. If you drop a weight on your sneakers, it's still going to hurt, so I'm not worried. The only reason I even wear these to the gym is that I'm not sure of the cleanliness of the floor. At home, I'd go barefoot.
Do you and your husband work out together?
We do; we're doing something called the Insanity Workout. It's sixty-three days, and you do it every day. We're on day thirty-two today.
Oh my God. Good luck.
It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. But after a month, you can tell a difference. I have abs that I never had before.
Has anyone ever tried to hit on you in the gym?
Yeah. My husband says if they aren't trying to hit on you, you should worry. But a lot of times when guys approach me, they're more interested in what workout I'm doing.
You don't think that's just a scam?
Maybe, but I just mention my husband to them and they go away.

"Sometimes I get cat-called by creeps on the street. But it's so hot! You’ve got to flaunt it if you've got it."
Yeah, you go, girl! Show of your body but get offended if anyone notices!
She's wearing Nike underwear... doesn't take a genius to work out that if you don't want that kind of attention, should maybe wear shorts that are 2" longer.
Just because she likes to wear clothing that shows off her body doesn't mean that she wants to be harassed on the street. I think a lot of women find catcalls and attention like that threatening, not flattering. And the solution to that is not in restricting how women can dress.
It's only harassment if the catcalls come from ugly people. If they are from hot studs then it's empowerment.
if she wants to dress "risque," learn to expect it. It's basically asking for it, why else would you dress like that.

Jill's knees are terrifying
Jill needs to eat a few donuts... she looks anorexic as hell.
I want to give her a sandwich.
The adidas comment about Boston is so so true
Wow, Michelle does not live in the real world. Most people buy five shirts instead of one because different parts of their life dictate drastically different types of shifts. The vast majority of the population cannot wear workout clothes to work or class.
She's talking about what works for her, not 'most people,' which is the point of the series.
Michelle is talking about what works for her...in a condescending and arrogant way. If she didn't want to run the risk of being called that, she shouldn't have given consent for the interview.
Gym to dance to class. Same shirt. Be sure to bump into her in gym and not in class when the fermentation starts.
If you think you smell bad at the gym, then it doesn't really make sense to wear the same clothes to class afterward, does it?
Can someone please put Jill on an IV drip of lard and liquid burgers?
Come on, people, why are you so interested in feeding Jill junk food? Why are people always so ready to weigh in when it comes to a woman's weight?
Only when they are in need of medical help.
Michelle - that Jennifer Love Hewitt pose is probably not your best angle.
That Insanity Workout sounds crazy - 63 days straight? Talk about motivation.
