None. I used to belong to quite a few (even started one or two) but alas, I don't have the time to check in like I used to.

one of the greatest things about the check-ins is seeing MANY old-timers who currently post.

Darn it!! I could vote on one poll (two if you count the one I created) but couldn't vote on this one!

Anyway I belong to one check in. I don't think I could do justice to more than one. I my check in buddies!

I belong to one check-in. I used to post on a different check in, so I was doing 2, but it can get tricky having multiple check-ins. I love that with our check-in buddies we know and care about what is going on in each others lives. It is so much more than just the workouts.

So I know I sporadically check in to that decluttering one, the Vintage and tear off the shrink wrap and isn't the thrift store one a check-in as well?

I tried to do JTW but I couldn't keep up with it and my Watulan and fit chick and of course my Pilates...

There really should have been a "too many" option

Fortunately, my check in buddies understand me and my flighty posts

I responded one but that's wrong. Currently I am in
1) Decluttering support and motivation
2) Tear off the Shrinkwrap!

Once upon a time I was in a kettlebell check in and I seem to remember a general strength training check in or one related to a specific rotation/instructor (perhaps Nia Shanks?) I briefly did the Caroline Girvan check in and an informal QiGong check in. I lurked on a Pilates check in as well. Now I just post on De-cluttering and Shrinkwrap check ins which means going through my virgins or dustbunny workouts to see what I can get rid of. There's a theme here.
The decluttering one does involve a certain amount of exercise.

Absolutely! Usually I’m just in one - Every Day in <Month> but now and then I join others (usually around New Year or my birthday, due to overly optimistic motivation) but it’s hard to keep up.

That said, it’s DEFINITELY worth being in at least one. The accountability and comraderie with people who understand your particular quirks is priceless.

I used to belong to one, but I do find you must have time to devote to one AND I always felt bad if I didn’t respond to someone who specifically responded to me. As my kids’ activities ramped up, the less time I could devote to it. I’ll bounce into the checkin every once in a while to catch up, but it’s very infrequently.

None for the moment.
I can't decide which one to join!
I've taken peeks and lurked and still haven't decided.

Zero. It feels like interrupting a conversation to join an established check in.
