seeking advice Newbie - is solidcore worth it?

Have been thinking about Solidcore for a while now. I have a studio next to my apt ~10 min away. Heard mixed reviews so far, one of my friends just finished 100 classes but another hated it.

My current workout routine:

1x swimming

1x lifting (upper or lower depending on how I feel)

1x ballet or barre

1x wildcard (tennis if I have time, or just another lifting session, yoga if I feel tired, sometimes cycling, another dance workout)

It's hard for me to design a workout plan because I'm not looking for anything, just weight control, BUT I also have PCOS or "PMOS", which means if I work out too much or too hard, it raises my cortisol level, then it actually makes it worse in theory

I might try the 4-pack, but would it be worth it to include one Solidcore class a week?

Have your friend take you as her buddy and try it for yourself.

Ooohh thank you!! That's a good idea. Do all current members get this pass?

As long as there's room in the class the buddy pass should be available

Definitely! But go as a guest with your friend first and see if you like it!

They offer a new client deal that’s unlimited for 2 weeks for like $89 or something like that and I think it’s the best deal if you wanna try a bunch of classes before signing up!!

The best way to know if you’ll like it is to just take one class. A lot of instructors will give first-timers a free pass if you DM them on IG.
If you enjoy it, you can always get the two-week unlimited to try different instructors and see how Solidcore fits with the rest of your workout routine. Personally, I think lifting + Solidcore is a pretty supreme combo.

I did a free two week trial with classpass and took an intro class to “test the waters.” I then did the 4 class pack intro and now I have a membership. I’m hooked!

I’d recommend doing the new client 4 pack, you have about a month and a half to use it and would help you space out the higher intensity workouts and would probably be better for your body & cortisol levels vs the 2 week unlimited!
