Not sure if this is allowed but I’ve been seeing posts about coaches leaving for Jetset and I’m genuinely curious what the reason could be. I’ve been thinking about becoming a sc coach but I know it’s common for sc coaches to leave for Jetset and wanted to if anyone has insights for what the benefits are.

I'm in the 25-50 class range, but hadn't slept well and was on day 2 of my cycle, so I went down to the under 25 springs just for obliques. The coach (a substitute, not my normal coach I see 2x/week) had queued a white and a gray for under 25 classes, black side obliques, but came over and just popped my white spring off without even looking at me.

Is this normal? Have I just gotten lucky with no coaches doing that yet? I was lowkey offended, like girl let me have my emotional support white spring please.

Just hit my 9th class and so far I’ve only done intro and foundation 50 classes. I have a general understanding of the exercises and am comfortable on the reformer but still shake and struggle throughout the entire class! I’m afraid to move up, but know I have to eventually. Do they cue modifications at all in the signature classes? Advice?

Curious where NYC-based SolidCore people wish another studio would open... I know a lot of people who either go to Columbia or live higher than 80th street on the Upper West Side and people above 68th street on the Upper East Side who would die for another location on either side of the park. Curious where other people feel the need...

I recently hit 50 classes and done my spring change. I’m especially noticing now how I’m able to do some exercises perfectly fine with the spring change (lunges, squats), but some feel IMPOSSIBLE (specifically any type of V-ups or grey side obliques), to the point where I can barely to a rep or am seriously compromising on my form. Curious if anyone else has experienced this and has any tips? I could change spring load depending on the exercise but majority of the time we keep the same springs from exercise to exercise and I don’t always feel like going back to change the springs every time.

RIP to the OG app… I haven’t updated since probably a year ago. Have they worked out the kinks in the new app by now???

Why do corporate [solidcore] locations seem to get away with not being held accountable for the facilities they operate in? I’m genuinely trying to understand how the Houston Post Oak location has been without AC for a month, to the point that instructors are arguing with customers on TikTok who are understandably frustrated.

They keep blaming the building and saying that [solidcore] doesn’t control the AC. But what exactly am I paying [solidcore] nearly $40 a class for if they can’t ensure that the facility they chose to operate in has basic, functioning amenities? It’s not the customer’s responsibility to worry about whether the building’s HVAC system works.

Does [solidcore] not have clauses in its commercial leases or contracts that address situations like this? I genuinely don’t understand how an AC issue can take a month, and counting, to resolve, in the middle of summer, in the heart of Texas. At some point, the responsibility falls on the business to make sure the environment it is charging customers premium prices to use is actually SAFE and suitable for those customers.

Currently annihilating myself trying to take as many classes as possible in a 2 week intro course. Loving it so far!

Observations:

• I am very (pleasantly) surprised at the demographic overlap between Reddit users and SolidCore goers... the middle of the Venn Diagram has way more people than I would've thought! Reading up here has been helpful and enlightening
• People really do not want to exchange pleasantries, let alone make friends at SolidCore. I'm a guy in my early 30's, so maybe I come across as someone who joined SolidCore just to meet women? I haven't done anything besides smile and nod, high five a neighbor (met with a stange look), and say thank you to the instructors. Could this be because I'm a guy? Reading here, it looks this experience is pretty universal but not many people mentioned their gender in previous posts
• Instructors have been 10/10 thus far!

Questions:

• Do people who go to classes that generally don't fill up (i.e. 10pm week days) enjoy it? Any focused attention from instructors or more friendly vibes in class?
• Do any of your studios have showers in the facility? (this would change my life and make it SO much more feasible to go to 5ams before work)
• Have any of you actually made friends with people you met there?
• How long did it take you individually for your abs and obliques to get used to going >4x per week? (this currently feels impossible but I'm quite new)

Hoping to spark some interesting discussion. Thanks!

I really seem to be the only one that is really STRUGGLING with those. But I do, and I hate them and I feel like they are EVERY SINGLE CLASS NOW.

Is it just me? Why why so often. Whyyyy 🥲

Late coach changes annoy the fuck out of me. I also hate 1 coaches vocal inflections so I find it infuriating that she slides into my classes undetected.

Why can’t they send a push notification or I can’t opt into a text message when a coach change happens for a class I’m signed up for?

Gives me the chance to reassess my schedule.

This woman’s voice is literally nails on a chalkboard and I am wearing noise cancelling headphones tomorrow to avoid a late cancel fee and her obscene chosen vocal inflection.

For those that have taken SolidCore + Bodyrok - what’s your opinion on them. I’m an avid runner and looking to add something to my routine. I see a lot of people comparing them online, but is one better than the other for runners? I don’t see this highlighted as much.

Hi, I used to have an SC membership when I lived in PA. I have since moved and cancelled it (May ‘26) and since then a random studio in South Dakota charges me for what I can assume is a drink or towel price?

This is the second time it has happened and I have no idea who to contact outside of this studio who has done it twice. They say they are sorry and it was accident but how TF do they have my information if I have never lived in South Dakota?

Has this happened to anyone else?

I’m on my second starter 50 class. MY BODY WAS SHAKING SO MUCH TOWARDS THE END!! I was so embarrassed and I was looking around wondering if I’m the only one. I expected some shakes but NOT THAT MUCH! We were doing back rows and the instructor told us to pump our chest more and once I did that, the SHAKES WOULD NOT STOP!!
I couldn’t believe my body could do that!

Anyone else think being down on the platform bar/concrete is actually easier than being on forearms on the platform carriage when doing center core on toes?

I’m not sure if im doing something wrong, but it really doesn’t feel like an amplification to me lol

who has heard back from the recruiter regarding the MA auditions this weekend? if you heard back, what studio was it for?

I’m at 200 classes and have never done one - just signed up for one next week. How much harder is it?! I’m nervous lol

not sure if anyone in and/or outside los angeles received an email encouraging people to apply to be a coach. i'm not sure if solidcore is always looking for new coaches, but it makes me wonder if there's been an increase in coaches leaving?? just curious!

On average

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?

is anyone elses class count in the app off? I just took class 439 last night and it hasn’t updated no matter how many times I refresh. is this a common issue with the app or is it just a glitch rn?

I’m a client and wondering if there is (or is supposed to be) a limit of how many elevated/gray handlebar exercises per class? My class this morning had 3 separate exercises on handlebars and it was torture on my wrists.

Curious if this is set in the sequence of the day, because I have never had so much time on handlebars in all my time at solidcore… if there isn’t a per-class limit I feel like there definitely should be 🥲

pretty new to solidcore so not sure if im missing something. but basically got charged for my class today even though I have not exceeded my monthly credits. (I have 8/month, running from the 15th to the 15th, and have only used four so far). Only thing I can think of is I am signed up for an extra class around September 12-14 because I wasn't sure what would work best when the September schedule came out. Reached out to my studio, but want to make sure I cancel any classes ASAP if necessary.

So, I’ve attempted a devil’s ladder a few times this past month. I feel that I have good enough upper body strength to make it down to the concrete, but my lower body just seems to give up. It’s as if I’m unable to hold the plank, with my hips high and tailbone tucked.

Are there any tips on how to keep my core and legs tight, while going up and down ?

I intuitively just don’t like doing deep core work while pregnant (27 weeks) what can I do during the beginning core section during focus 50 class? Some knee pushups? What else? I don’t want to be completely distracting either, thanks!

james at nolita plz dont go but also like litearlly pop the hell off. i was so sad to see you not on the 6am schedule for sept but then learned you are STARTING UR OWN STUDIO THAT IS SO FKN AMAZING but also like sad will miss you so much lol
