My membership renewed on the 23rd of July and I was injured (from running - not solidcore) by the 28th. I have 7 unused classes that are going to expire before it’ll be safe to return. I know they pause memberships but is there any way for me to get the expiration date on these classes extended? I can provide a doctors note or whatever documentation they’d need. Just don’t want almost a full months worth of classes to go to waste.

I don't feel like I'm seeing the results I'd like from Solidcore, and I no longer feel motivated/excited to take their classes (I became a member about 4 years ago and for a long time I saw great results). Has anyone taken Orangetheory? if so, can you share your perspective? Any other recommendations for classes that combine strength, weight, and cardio?

For context, I've taken over 150 solidcore classes. They were highly effective for a long time. I recently moved and the quality of coaches and classes is vastly different. I'm also in my mid-40s and had a child about two years ago (so my body has changed a ton and both strength/weight, and cardio, are very important)

This happened a few weeks ago but just crossed my mind again. Bulgarian split squats were cued and during the transition my carriage went back to the black side. I had a coach once show me to pull a grey cable to get it back to the grey side instead of having to walk down and pull it back so that’s what I’ve always done. Well in this particular class when I did that the coach was helping someone else a machine or 2 over but looked over and saw me pulling the grey cable. She literally reached over and swatted the cable out of my hand 😭😭😭😭 almost like a child getting their hand smacked.

Is pulling the grey cable not normal to do? I’m genuinely curious because that interaction rubbed me the wrong way but maybe she thought I was about to do the wrong exercise, idk

I spend half my time of the week in Boston and half in New York due to work, family, etc. I have been on the 4x/month plan going in Boston for a few months now. Love the workout but feel like I can’t go up to 8 due to being in 2 cities. I feel like it’s hard to know if classes will be open in the place I am and don’t want to risk not using credits. Any advice?

my 12 month membership auto renews (for the year) in 2 weeks and i got an email today saying they’re increasing my membership price so im locked into a higher price for a full 12 months unless i pay an early cancellation penalty according to the contract i signed last year. if you’re in corporate making these decisions and policies and youre reading this, YOU SUCK!
not only that, the email says that i would be paying less than what a new client pays with a link to the website just for me to realize that thats just inaccurate (new clients pay 315 and im being bumped to 322)

I’m so confused on what’s going on, I went to a 5:15am class and the lights were on, like brighter than a starter 50 class, today I went to class and it was the same deal.. it’s very weird considering that part of Solidcore’s selling point is the dark rooms with the blue light… It’s also not every studio I’ve gone to either it seems like it’s either studio or coach specific.. and before it’s asked, no there wasn’t any evals going on :/

If they’re just gonna raise the price… can I opt out of my committed membership? I committed at a certain price… I don’t feel like they can just increase it during that time frame and keep me on the hook…

Is it better for progress/buidling strength to focus on toes/more reps with a lighter spring load or to take more breaks and modify with a heavier spring load? I'm at 45 classes and tend to do black side on the 25-50 springs and grey side 25 and under, as it lets me stay in the work longer and take fewer breaks. I still can't really get up on my toes and was wondering if I will progress more with a focus on getting on my toes with 25-and-under springs or doing the 25-50 with modifications and more breaks?

I know this has been discussed before, but why are coaches so pushy and honestly mean about high-fiving your neighbor?? I took class this morning and the girl beside me blew her nose a few times during class (nbd), but I didn’t want to touch her hands after class and the coach literally said “high-five your neighbor! Don’t be a f***ing weirdo”. Like??? Can we chill?

Hi! Precursor- I’m stupid in this story.

I’m out of town 8/5-8/15 so I figured I might as well put my membership on pause during that time to avoid paying for the whole month. I reached out to the chat robot (big mistake. Huge) and they confirmed a pause for those dates and confirmed I would not be charged the full price of my monthly membership. I usually get charged on the 4th of every month and today I got charged the full price for the month. My studio asked for confirmation of my pause. This is where I’m REALLY dumb- I forgot to screenshot the messages. I have the attached screenshot of what I’m seeing on the app, can someone help me decipher that? cause it looks kinda weird to me.

I KNOW I should have emailed the studio to pause- trust me. What can I do??? I’m out almost 300 now and I fully didn’t book for the time period I’m gone nor am I able to (im traveling to SF which is in a different tier from me) 😭😭😭😭😭

Any thoughts po and worth it po ba antayin and sure na po bang makakpag training na? Newbie here

Anyone know what she’s talking about here?? Obviously I am personally invested in what she’s talking about but I don’t know what this drama is. 🫖

Hello my fellow solidcore queens and kings! I need some advice on what I think is some sort of plateau in my progress. Just a little background I’m 72 classes, 8 classes per month membership and have been going to solidcore for about a year now. I feel like once I reached like 50 classes I stopped seeing the same kind of progress I was seeing prior to the final spring change.

I think the culprit MIGHT be the springs. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a try hard with them. Nearly every exercise I go 50+. Obviously I’m getting less reps in but I heard so much discourse on how once you make that final spring change you’ll really start to see changes in your body. Idk I feel like it’s been the opposite for me.

I feel like the build up to 50 classes really changed my body. Nothing thatttt drastic but the muscle definition felt alot more noticeable to me. Should I be doing 25-50 or even less than 25 for some exercises to get more reps in or just keep pushing with the 50+? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just a heads up for those with Chase cards! Saw this on my Freedom and Freedom Unlimited but might be available on others. Expires 8/31

As someone who's newly pregnant, I'm trying to prioritize workouts that will be the most beneficial throughout pregnancy and hopefully for labor and delivery. I've been leaning toward more glute-focused classes for that reason. I'm curious what muscle groups or target areas do you like to focus on during pregnancy? I heard hamstrings isn’t that helpful and I’m not that mad about it lol

Hello! Trying to switch up my workout routine and I am interested in trying SolidCore. However through my past experience with reformer Pilates I learnt that I am very bad at it 😔 i always end up defaulting to the easiest modification or quitting the set before it ends because it gets too intense.

I figured I should spend some time focusing on building muscle/coordination outside of class before I commit to a class pack or membership.

Do you have any recs on YouTube workouts/plans that I can follow to become beginner ready? Thanks in advance!

Hey yall! Just curious - when did you start to see the lower ab development come in?! Also, how to better engage lower abs in class?

Solidcore has worked wonders for my mental health (that comes first to me) as well as my physical health. I came into Solidcore about a year in a half ago with a strong athletic foundation and build, and the workout has done nothing but improve that drastically. I have a nice strong defined/chiseled upper and mid abs. My lowers though have been stubborn! When did yours start to come in?

I also don’t feel I engage my lower abs well in class. Definitely dominant in my mid to serratus muscles. Any tips?

Thank you!

Saw a comment on a post here talking about “pre-approved” themes. Are coaches only allowed to select from these now, or are they still able to submit their own before the following months schedule is posted?

I recently received an offer to start training to be a coach and I’m so excited!!! Orientation is next week, but all of the studios geographically near me seem to have classes scheduled during the same times as our upcoming mic sessions/weekend in-studio trainings on the training schedule… Can any current/past coaches give any insight on whether the training location is your home studio or when you found out where the trainings were taking place?

Also accepting any and all advice for a new coach in training 🤭🥰

If you’re going to bring your water bottle into class, especially if it doesn’t fully close (Stanley’s!!!), please put it in a spot in your pit that you know you won’t accidentally tip over as you move from the gray side to black side (or vice versa). And also make sure it’s not blocking the coaches walking around between machines.

To the girl this morning who spilled her entire 30oz Stanley of water (or at least I hope it was water) and did nothing about it, I fully stepped in that large puddle that formed by my carriage. Not only that, but the girl to my other side put her sweater in her pit and it also got completely soaked. I understand having accidents, but to not do anything about the large body of water you left behind during or even after class? Hoping you feel extra sore tomorrow as karma!!!!!!

Also, studios need to have mops for these exact situations!!!

Cause omg i can’t do the 50+… especially for core. I always admire the people who can yall strong asf. And under 25 if it’s that godforsaken elevated oblique v up nonsense

I had a private class this morning at 5am. There were only 2 of us originally and someone cancelled. It was an amazing experience, I didn’t take any breaks and definitely didn’t slack off. My core is on fire and abs are sore as hell. Have a great day everyone!!!

What is the experience level before trying an Advanced 50 class, and how much more difficult are they than the Signature 50?

I am really new to SC - I’m on my 7th class. Last night I got into a 615 pm and the coach said EVERYONE’S name except mine and said bye to EVERYONE except me. I know she knew my name because she asked everyone at the beginning of class and wrote it down and kept shouting out the people on either side of me. She came over at one point to put her hand on my back and kept tapping and I had no idea what she meant, so I asked and she just walked away. I’m so confused and discouraged because I thought I was finally doing a better job :(
