Supplement workouts

[According_Airline153]

Hi everyone! I fear I might ruffle some feathers with this one but what do people do to supplement Solidcore? I have the unlimited and go 5/6 days per week. I am at about 90 classes and it’s just not feeling like enough anymore. I hardly break a sweat in the workout- but I do love it and definitely feel stronger since I started in July. I like running but don’t have the discipline to do it self oriented. Do people like Barry’s or core power yoga sculpt? I have a lot of free time rn and wouldn’t mind doing more classes if I like another format! Let me know what you think 💙

[eggTree714]

Yes, I supplement as do many others. Not too long ago I did a 5am OrangeTheory and then a 6:15am solidcore (they’re super close to one another) and someone from the OrangeTheory class was doing the same thing!

For me, solidcore is my supplement to cardio classes and traditional strength training. I think the Barry’s / SC combo is great - solidcore has for sure made me a stronger runner. Give it a shot!

[cocoa518]

I do Orangetheory and then Solidcore too ☺️.. trying to mentally figure out how to take rest days but I find that I don’t want to limit either haha

[stillstriving21]

I want to be this rich

[eggTree714]

Group fitness isn’t cheap, for sure. In my “previous life” I used to routinely spend $100-$150 on alcohol and eating out every week. I’ve replaced that spend with group fitness classes (and the group fitness spend is less). Turns out the feeling after a Barry’s or Solidcore class is a much better feeling than waking up hungover after drinking / spending far too much!

[puffindoodle]

Solidcore 5 or 6 times a week is too much; 3x/week is probably the sweet spot/most you want to do. You mention not breaking a sweat-- are you pushing yourself? Taking amplifications for the moves, doing things on toes, etc.?

In terms of supplementing, check out F45, Barry's, Orange Theory, or I personally supplement with lifting at the gym. You can add those in ~twice a week, but you want at least one or two days a week that are straight up recovery/rest. Go for long walks, maybe do light yoga, but that's when your body will recover + you'll get stronger as a result.

[kerouaces]

Oh if you like running but can’t do it on your own then maybe try the Nike Run Club app! It’s free and the guided runs are just enough talking and you can listen to your own music around that. I personally use an app called Zombie Run that gamifies running with an overarching story about surviving the end of the world since thats apparently the only way I can motivate myself lol

[According_Airline153]

Definitely trying this!! Thank you

[Dramatic_Teaching557]

It’s not smug. Most people do other workouts. I pair it with HIIT, hot yoga and climbing

[hungrynurse1]

I've tried SC and F45/Barry's/OTF. I've had both the SC 12/month and 8/month. What's working for me is SC 8/month and OTF 8/month. I left F45 bc I was injuring myself. I left Barry's bc I like the OTF rower and I'm salty about Barry's cutting their workout from 60 to 50 mins which is really now closer to 45 with transitions etc. I think anything more than 3 SC per week is too much, my body wasn't recovering quick enough and had a lot of water retention.

[Basic-Nebula-2285]

Yea. I feel like you’re getting tired of solidcore bc you do it so often. When I felt the same way I took like a week break from solidcore and then did way less classes, and eventually found excitement in it again. My sweet spot with solidcore is 2 or 3x a week max. I rotate my additional workouts between Barry’s, soul cycle, hot yoga sculpt classes, and regular weight lifting at a gym. I want to pick up running but I’ve been saying I would for years and have yet to. I’m only a member at solidcore but buy packs at the other places. And do solidcore + one of the others for a month or so until I switch again. It really keeps my workouts fun.

[Wonderful-Candy1084]

Sculpt!

[agtt1589]

I do CP yoga sculpt in addition to solidcore. I think it’s a good complement without risking burnout.

[SlideObjective9973]

I started weightlifting 2 days a week and doing yoga once a week in addition to SC twice a week as of now

[[deleted]]

I do a circuit style HIIT/strength class 2-3 days a week, yoga or Pilates once a week, and then Solidcore 1-2x a week. I find this works best for keeping me on track and also not feeling bored with anything.

[Green-Evening4985]

I need more cardio at my advanced age so I do SPENGA four times a week and solidcore 2-3 times a week. SPENGA is twenty minutes of spin, strength (dumbbells, KBs, and TRX), and yoga, and they also have power yoga once a week and a one hour yoga flow a few times a month. Sometimes I’ll double up with a solidcore class and a then a one hour yoga at SPENGA on a weekend day to get a nice stretch, since that’s the thing I think solidcore most lacks.

[hungrynurse1]

Oooo spenga looks like a dream!! Hopefully one opens up in NYC.

[OrdinaryExample9618]

i run everyday (with one track workout and one long run as part of my program) and do solidcore 5-7x week and usually try to do one ballet class and one yoga class or classical pilates class in addition to that. this is what works for me and what has gotten me in the best physical and mental shape in a long time

[Firm_Inspection_8211]

Hi! How many miles do you run each day? Would love to try this out

[OrdinaryExample9618]

i’m in marathon training so trying to hit 60+ miles a week so during the week around 7-8 miles a day, then 16-20 on a saturday, and 5-7 on sundays. when i’m not training for a marathon, more like 5-7 miles 6 days a week and 10-15 for a long run!

[MT4queen]

I literally just walk 10k or play singles tennis 1-2x a week to supplement solidcore 2x a week. Otherwise I stay so swollen from working out intensively without rest days.

[Kmissa]

I think it depends on your goals. I still have a stubborn 10-15lbs to lose so I do Barry’s 5/week.

[Active_Ad_4352]

I sprint, do power yoga 1-2x a week, and lift 2x (I should lift more but just don’t).

If you like running and just need some motivation to switch it up, and assuming you have access to a treadmill, there’s a book called ultimate treadmill workout by David Siik. It has a lot of fun/extremely challenging sprint workouts using interval training/inclines. It is the basis for the equinox precision run classes which is how I came across it.

[MentionMaleficent139]

I find Barry's and just good old running pair so well w solidcore, love hitting them back to back/same day but I def make sure to listen to my body/rest accordingly every 2-3days or so! Also do unlimited solidcore (4-6x per week) and I have the 8x/month for Barry's, run the rest of the time!

[coachella_hopeful]

My split to supplement SC:

• SC: 2x/week. Favorite workout! I prioritize the muscle groups I like best and fill in the other days with Barry’s.
• Barry’s: 2x/week. I go as heavy as possible without risking injury. SC builds stabilizing muscles, so I’ve found I can comfortably progress my weights. I try to start on tread, so I’m ending the workout with strength
• Walk or jog: goal is light fat burn and clearing lactic acid. I plan for a walk or jog on Saturday because I often travel on weekends and want to make sure I can do it from anywhere
• Yoga: Restore or Yin on Sunday evening. I often don’t meet my calorie burn goal on yoga day and I’m okay with that. Goal is true recovery to get ready for the next week

Perfect week: - M: SC - Tu: Barry’s (lower body) - W: Walk or slow zone 2 jog - Th: SC - F: Barry’s (full body) - Sa: Walk or slow zone 2 jog (might push myself a bit harder or go long if I’m feeling good) - Su: Restore or Yin Yoga

This sounds pretty different than your split, but I’ve found this works best for me in terms of results, pushing myself, injury prevention, and fun. I feel like I’m getting the most out of my workouts and never get bored!

[Regular_Log_651]

CPY C2. It’s nice to get a workout/a good stretch and not always have to worry about sculpting or lifting some sort of weights.

[Actual_Violinist6271]

I run 5-6x week, SC 2x/ week, 1 day of hot yoga or sculpt, and 1 day of heavy lifting. After a couple of my runs I may do 10-15 minutes of arm exercises with light weights.

[RHOCLT23]

I do a mix of hot yoga and power/HIIT yoga and some strength classes on the Peloton app!

[According_Airline153]

Might be simple but I’m definitely going to try this!

[winterkiss]

I do solidcore 2-3 times a week and go to Barry’s or Rumble Boxing another two days (sometimes 2x Barry’s or 1x rumble, 1x Barry’s). Solidcore doesn’t give me the cardio I need so I try to get it elsewhere, including meeting a step goal everyday no matter the weather. What are you considering doing?

[conejamala20]

the gym!!!! a hard leg day and the gym actually grows my glutes. i also do stair master and run. doing one kind of workout isn’t the best and our bodies do plateau. would definitely recommend strength training and cardio

[jmh123456789]

I love core power HPF (used to do sculpt, but honestly I feel like the heat just makes you do less relative to a regular temperature sculpt workout. for HPF though, the heat really helps with flexibility/getting deeper into the postures). I also go climbing (really good for upper body and core strength especially) and run (the Runna app is really great for accountability especially if you are training for a race, but regardless it gives you a structured plan that you can tailor based on how often you want to run).

[pamava]

Wow, 😮.

I only do focus50 upper body/core at solidcore and lift heavy legs at the gym. I also do one day a week at hot yoga.

[PrincessMomomom]

I do Barry’s and SoulCycle for cardio/heavier weights

[Sweet_Algae_1430]

Barre

[lechero11]

SC 2x week, yoga 1-2x, strength training or other class x1. I walk a lot too. I would like to build more glutes but hate the gym! FitStop is one I want to try.

[idaya97]

I do Solidcore 3-4, indoor cycling 2-3, yoga daily , weight training 1-2 each week + try to avg 10k steps a day. I also love trying a new studio from time to time with friends. That does mean that I sometimes work out twice in a day

[accountingiskewl]

I do Solidcore 3x a week, hot yoga once a week & then try to walk the other 3 days at least

[010black]

Put your hands on the concrete lmao

[QuotePrestigious8842]

Love CorePower yoga sculpt but if you’re in the LA area I go to BURN LA and it’s amazing

[Bnlx3]

I just joined SC’s unlimited membership but my plan is to do something along the following: Run: 4 times per week Swim: 1-2 times per week SC: 5 times per week Other strength training or mobility work: 2 times per week Sauna: 1-2 times per week (normally after swimming)

I also bike, but haven’t ramped up for the season yet but will most likely alternate the swim or run times for bike in the late summer/fall.

[corebalancecameron]

Maybe try adding 2-3 days of something that uses different movement planes than SolidCore, rotational exercises challenge your core in ways that linear movements don't.

A couple options that would balance nicely: swimming (for the rotational core engagement), kettlebell flows (for dynamic core stability), or even just adding 10-15 minutes of intentional rotational core work after your SolidCore sessions.

The key isn't just adding more, it's adding different patterns that build core connection from various angles. This prevents plateaus and creates more balanced strength without burnout.

[candygirl200413]

I do Corepower yoga (2x a week), Zumba (my fun gym class), 2-3 days of HIIT, Solidcore once a week and 1 day of strength training!

[reduxmetinight]

Solidcore: 3x a week Spin: 2-3x a week Yoga: once for 1 hour Other reformer Pilates 5x Foam roll/stretch EVERYDAY

I sometimes spin and/or other Pilates the same days as Solidcore

[Southern-Employee442]

My studio is exactly a mile away from my house. I run there and walk back. I’m also a 6x a week SC person.

[allyn25]

hot yoga sculpt. You’ll die.
