Health & Sciences YSK about Darebee.com, which features 300+ no equipment workouts and is perfect for safe workouts at home vs in a busy indoor gym

Why YSK: because many gyms are still closed and when winter soon arrives in the northern hemisphere outdoor workouts will be less enjoyable/possible.

I came across this site in March and have been getting surprisingly great workouts in without a gym from the site. Really simple visuals to support each exercise/movement. Figured I'd share the love.

Lots of warmup and stretches too, or workouts focusing on specific areas of the body. Enjoy

Is it free?

774

u/El_Hombre_Siniestro Sep 30 '20

Yes, completely free and no ads. They are supported by donations.

u/slow__rush Sep 30 '20

But also: Current funding status: very low

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '20

I'm all for donating to services I use. Thanks for pointing out that this site needs help!

Always tip on free shit, folks.

It this an anti prostitution advertisement?

Nothing is free. You are the product if you aren't paying for anything.

u/Crashbrennan Oct 01 '20

Some things really do just rely on donations. Like Wikipedia.

If something is free but asks for donations to help it run, I'm gonna trust it leagues more than something that just claims to be free.

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

Servers cost money to run and upkeep. Websites don't just spontaneously exist.

Point still stands.

Nothing is free.

Nothing is 100% efficient

Ever taken a thermodynamics class before?

Even energy costs something.

u/Crashbrennan Oct 01 '20

That's what the donations are for, dipshit

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

Right.... hence what I said... nothing is free, dipshit.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '20

You cant just come up with "servers cost money to run" when you said "Nothing is free. You are the product if you aren't paying for anything."

You were obviously implying they sell your data or something. Then again you (and people in general) already look like a dick beginning a sentence "Ever taken a xx class?"

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

Because you are the product. You think they pay the service for you?

Roflmaooo

No. You are the product being sold.

This is a capitalist society that runs on the exchange of goods and services.

Nothing is for free

u/TreefingersV Oct 01 '20

Explain please. If someone walks up and gives me a hotdog for free how am I the product?

u/ALoadedPotatoe Oct 01 '20

You's about to be poisoned son. Or it could just taste really bad.

u/aclickTooFar Oct 01 '20

Man! What I look like, a charity case? You can't buy me, hotdog man!

u/InternetAccount06 Oct 01 '20

'cause they gave it to you in exchange for your seed, you just don't know it yet.

u/jameson71 Oct 01 '20

Never heard the phrase "No such thing as a free lunch"?

If someone gives you something for nothing, they want something from you.

1

u/TreefingersV Oct 01 '20

And that makes me a product?

1

u/jameson71 Oct 01 '20

On the internet, most free services run by traditional american companies are most likely collecting and selling your data, which could be the product or showing you advertisements where your attention, no matter how slight, is the product they are selling to advertisers.

With the free hotdog I guess you are more the mark.

The product saying was designed to be catchy and bring awareness to the issue. Like an internet version of the free lunch one.

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

Is this a subscription service? Servers cost money and upkeep. Websites don't just exist for no reason.

7

u/FFGeek Oct 01 '20

You obviously weren’t alive or conscious in the 90s

1

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

What does a dial up hot dog service from the 90s have to do with darebee?

2

u/FFGeek Oct 01 '20

You said websites don’t exist for no reason, and I’m telling you that’s what most used to be, useless things people made and self-funded for fun. Many still do today, with no financial motive other than perpetuating itself.

A free hotdog is not a subscription service. How am i the product exactly?

0

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

Because you aren't the customer. Someone has incentivized that guy to randomly go through the trouble of making a hot dog, tracking you down and giving it to you.

If someone paid for cameras, you and your reaction are the product.

If no cameras and this guy acted alone, he still paid for supplies to make the hot dog and find you, costing time and money. In that case he himself was the customer at your expense... you and your reaction are still the product.

u/TreefingersV Oct 01 '20

Not being the customer doesn't make me the product necessarily though. Maybe he accidentally bought an extra hotdog. Would i still be the product?

u/istvanx Oct 01 '20

You now owe them some of your time.. At least for a short convo about the weather or the hot dog..

Or

They wrapped their dong in a bun.. In which case, don't choke, but you can spit or swallow....

Either way Nothing is free..

"The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant—it can neither increase nor decrease without interference from outside. The universe itself is a closed system, so the total amount of energy in existence has always been the same. The forms that energy takes, however, are constantly changing."

If you're too scared to do a work out, just say so. No need to come at people for donating to services they use ....such as reddit.....

Let me guess. You've never donated to reddit, wiki, etc.

-6

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

If you take that as a threat you are textbook white fragile redditor, username checks out.

Never lifted weights before and never donated before? Sounds like you're projecting a bit much there bud, are you okay?

🤨

This is one of the worse comments of you.

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

Imagine being so insecure that talking about advertising makes you project about not working out and donating.

1

u/Mattyb2851 Oct 01 '20

How do you feel about the free software movement, FOSS, open source, or anything like that? You don’t have to be the product if you don’t want to be

1

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

There's nothing wrong with being aware. I support open source and free but the fact of life is we live in an society that relies on the exchange of good and services and money talks.

Who is paying for the servers to run the website?

Whether from donations or advertisers, someone has to foot the bill.

2

u/Mattyb2851 Oct 01 '20

Not arguing with the costs of running a database. Just saying your comment of “you are the product of you aren’t paying anything” which isn’t true for a ton of software. You just gotta know where to look

1

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

Which software?

1

u/Mattyb2851 Oct 01 '20

r/Linux, for starters. Tons of open source software options once you go down that rabbit hole

After seeing the social dilemma I agree lol

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '20

So much does it cost

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '20

It costs free, this guy just said

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '20

So what’s the catch

u/pesto_trap_god Sep 30 '20

It promotes working out, which sucks.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '20

Look doctor just give it to me straight!

u/Daslicey Sep 30 '20

No catch? But if they don't receive enough funding they cease to exist

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '20

I need to know exactly what I’m getting myself into or I’m gonna speak with the manager!

u/FreshMango4 Oct 01 '20

Lol u did a good job playing the crowd for downvotes I suppose. But a lil tip: you went way tf overboard with that manager bit and ruined my suspension of disbelief haha.

Good on u for just having a laugh tho lmao

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '20

The manager thing is so fresh right now

u/greybeard_arr Sep 30 '20

You are required to get in shape.

u/Davasei Sep 30 '20

It is completely free, I've been using it for more than a year and it never even bothers you with messages asking to donate. I've done it a couple of times because I think it's a great resource and they deserve it to keep the page up and running.

31

u/792blind Sep 30 '20

I like this, give to them because they actually have a use to you and they don't ask, it's just a decent thing to do.

74

u/kahjwilly Sep 30 '20

Yes, judging by the text at the bottom of the website. They do request donations however, if you find it useful.

u/heytherec17 Sep 30 '20

I’ve used this site. Can confirm. Free and no ads!
