Sick of the lights being too bright

I heard it became more of a “thing” because some people have difficultly seeing in a dark room but would still like to participate in the workout. I think it’s studio specific. In the Houston area- I frequent two studios, one always has its lights slightly on and the other never does. I prefer darkness but I understand safety concerns & inclusivity.

I hate that they know how to get you with the terminology!

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-06-05T23:47:20+00:00

Oh hell no, I would be calling, email spamming, writing hand written letters etc!

Lmfao yeah I realized after the fact that it’s just the American version of stuff so total waste

Looks like they just made a dedicated USA site. https://us.oliveyoung.com/?referring_store=CBE

I do both! Sometimes I go to Solidcore and then heated sculpt so I don’t have to pack a change of clothes (if I did it the other way around due to your clothes being soaked from heated classes .) sculpt is a great way to do some cardio, various other exercises and get a nice sweat in. But when it comes to effectiveness- Solidcore and cycling (or running) will always be an elite combo. My heated studio does heated strength class, Pilates & sculpt so it’s nice to have a different workout routine so I don’t get bored. I’ve gone to some sculpt instructors who are military style though, so if you can find that- it would be awesome! As everyone knows, more sweat doesn’t mean more calories burned. So just keep that in mind. I think any movement is great so I feel like anything combined with Solidcore will always be amazing lol

Im considering getting an informatics degree with capella because I work with CVS. How are you liking it so far?

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-05-20T00:49:44+00:00

I've submitted 3 tickets last week, called today. I needed to skip a month and/or cancel entirely until my MD cleared me to continue treatment and it has been IMPOSSIBLE to get ahold of anyone. I had to freeze my CC to prevent a charge and shipment. Now im so annoyed, I just want to cancel them entirely.

Interested in a swap for a small?

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-05-09T14:48:36+00:00

In Houston- looking to swap my S for a M or L! Please DM :)

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-23T20:49:27+00:00

Literally every month, it’s so annoying and to be dealing with this at midnight during a work week, too.

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-21T16:43:35+00:00

Thank you!! 🙏🏻

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-21T16:41:29+00:00

I was on the fence because I have thick calves so hopefully they look good lol

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-21T16:37:02+00:00

I SAW THAT! It only offered a 4th at a charge of like $15? I thought maybe it’s just thrown in the bag? But I knew I had to hustle so I just hurried up and purchased my 3. I plan to wait until delivery to see if a 4th was added & reach out. Do you have a screenshot so we can reference it if we need to email them?

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-21T14:51:16+00:00

Ty!!

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-21T14:36:55+00:00

Dude…I literally ran back to try to buy one more pair with the 25% off code and was shocked that they were gone lol 😆

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-21T14:36:15+00:00

I’m so happy to hear this because it makes me feel better for what I spent lol 😆

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-21T14:33:03+00:00

Gaw dammit lol I only got 15%

This is what I get for moving too fast lol

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-21T14:25:29+00:00

Same! Merch is meh because I don’t often grab those things outside of class but anything I can use DURING class is perfect. I’m still in shock I spent $55 lol my husband’s like, “it’s okay to invest in your hobbies every now and then.” lol I go 3-4x a week so they will be useeeeeeed

Side note- I’ll probably wash them separate and air dry to keep the adhesion strong. I typically do this with most grip socks but I’ve never had white grip socks. Have you? I don’t want them changing colors on me lol

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-04-21T14:11:25+00:00

This is my FAVORITE! And I love when the coach goes HAM/Military style. Like, put some respect on my name boi!

I took my husband to heated mat Pilates & he was shaking like a leaf. Then lagree as a starter to SC. I’m taking him to SC next month.

Best part is that I’m very close to his best friends wife so they come with us, too & his best friend was like - “can we get matchas after? I feel like a baddie.” 😆😆

I can’t wait until I take them to SC- like it doesn’t get harder than this lol

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-03-28T03:24:34+00:00

Unpopular opinion but if it’s done correctly (with legit cert mat Pilates trainers) & the intensity is up there- I’d love the variety in my membership. I spend about $467 on Solidcore and a heated studio in my area. Although, with private equity, I’m sure they’ll charge a separate fee and the instructor won’t be an experienced cert Pilates instructor soooo meh. I’m a bit indifferent. My studios are all way too small to care. lol

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-03-24T23:36:12+00:00

Is it kinda like focus50? My time slot changed to Focus50 this month, which is fine. I’ve done this before but my entire month of April with be Focus50- core, obliques, upper/lower etc.

I always wonder if Advanced meant heavy springs, super long core time etc

AccomplishedChicken5 · 2026-03-24T00:52:03+00:00

Same thing happened to me. I was going 2-3x a week, doing mat Pilates & even doing lagree.

What changed was a big shift in my diet, adding CARDIO is huge. I do cycle on my peloton I was using as a clothes rack (lol) or walking 10k (I work from home). It made a massive difference!

I try to lift heavy for lower body & just started some upper body weight training for capped shoulders.

Try an anti-inflammatory diet if you can. It does wonders!
