Sorry I don't know the answer to your question.

Just wanted to say I love your Sheldon Cooper quote. That was one of my favorite Big Bang episode.

Hmmm... I don't know! I joined prenatal postpartum over 8 years ago and it was going strong then, and has been since!

But I'm sure some have been around longer.

There was a great one years ago that was so random. Each week it had some random theme--blonde instructor week, outdoor workout week, male instructor week. I just loved the randomness of it!

I joined in 2006 and the Barefoot & on the Mat check in was going strong then. I believe it originally started as a Pilates check in. My long term check in buddies Toaster, Pat58 & JustSandra can chime in on how long it's been going.

I thought it was the Gilad check-in. Or is that just the oldest thread?

I started the original Pilates check-in before it was "Barefoot and on the Mat" and that was more than 10 years ago. Possibly 12 years or so? I can't quite remember, but it was when I lived in AZ., so that's how I'm guessing/judging. I'm sure there were other check-ins that have survived just as long, though.

The endurance, swim, bike, run, etc. check-in has been around way longer than that. VFer Daphne was in that one.

it's not the oldest thread, it's the thread with the most replies and views. I think.

I'm sure there are many check-ins that have come and gone or started up again with a different name. If you think about instructors that have been around awhile...Gilad, Denise Austin, the FIRM, Kathy Smith, etc. there was probably a check-in for them, at one time.

I would have said "Belly Busters," but they changed their name a while back.
