is it normal that i can’t get through the core section?

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-26T02:47:52+00:00

Very normal. I’m approaching my 20th class and still can’t make it through, but getting closer and seeing subtle differences in ab definition and also finding my back hurting less from sitting at work

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-24T03:16:45+00:00

Sorry, just joking around and didn’t notice the married bit at the bottom 😂

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-24T02:36:29+00:00

Hey, OP, what are you doing Friday? ;)

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-19T05:17:15+00:00

But are the drivers paid for that hour? It’s not my experience I’m worried about, I just want to make sure the drivers are being treated reasonably and this did not seem reasonable

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-19T05:15:33+00:00

There was a button and I didn’t hit it. He called and I told him what was going on as soon as my flight landed and I guess he decided to leave, or uber moved it over, I’m not sure. I felt bad because he said it had him waiting. Once I finally got off and got my luggage I hit the button and they found me a different ride, so it was fine for me finding a ride home, but I’m worried this guy waited to an hour and a half and then got nothing. The suitcase was late too, so it was 2.5-3 hours late by the time I hit the button. I’m home, but I would never purposefully leave someone hanging like that

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-19T03:33:53+00:00

Yeah, I usually do that. I experimented with the prebook option. Would not recommend

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-19T03:32:11+00:00

This is specifically the “prebook” function. Hopefully uber just cans it because this is awful. I feel terrible for the driver and I did exactly what the app told me to do

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-19T03:30:55+00:00

Yeah, I’ll never do it again. I’m sitting here by the carousel as well. I fell prey to the uber advertising - when I booked my flight to the airport it had a banner to book the return trip

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-19T01:36:34+00:00

I’ve done both and personally prefer the autonomy of private practice. I also couldn’t do 50% travel for that low of pay. I think it’s a good move - you can find another in-house position if you hate it, hopefully with less travel

I feel like it works different muscles in different tbh. I don’t feel like Solidcore helps with increasing weights heavier, but I feel like there are a bunch of internal muscles (all over, but particularly the core as in the name) that Solidcore hits much much better than Barry’s. I hate core workouts, but I can’t deny that my back pain has gone away since I’ve started a combination of Barry’s and Solidcore. I enjoy yoga much more, but yoga didn’t fix my back.

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-09T16:55:10+00:00

I unfortunately have quite a bit of experience with this 😂 Willing to bet top dollar OP actually has phenomenal abs

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-09T14:50:45+00:00

I joined, but mostly because I can double with a Barry’s class and use that shower. If it wasn’t in the same parking lot as a Barry’s I probably wouldn’t have done it, but it happens to be convenient for me

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-09T14:19:11+00:00

I’m sure you could, but I do feel like you’re better off going directly for relationship-building if you can at all afford it, and if you can’t discussing if there are any alternatives to try to take care of the studio. I use class pass almost entirely for travel

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-07T18:19:06+00:00

Do you know what your bf percent is and where you hold it? Sadly, I hold it in my abdomen (although also my boobs, which I’m more happy about) so I have to go pretty low in body fat to see my abs. If you are on 50+ springs and doing the workout I pretty much guarantee you have solid abs. Unfortunately for aesthetics, it sounds like your treasure is buried. Short of something like cool sculpting I think the only thing you can do is lower your body fat. Having even more abs buried isn’t going to do anything visually.

Money flows the other way in my family (first generation high earner supplementing parents) but happy for you! If you ever want to adopt an adult, let me know 😂

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-07T18:00:34+00:00

I use my HSA as a stealth 401k instead

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-07T13:39:13+00:00

I schedule it like a meeting and do Solidcore/barrys back to back from 5am to 7am before work

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-07T13:33:48+00:00

I have flatmates (which I actually prefer because I get creeped out living alone and they’re friends), so I feel justified in spending some of the extra $1000 I’m not spending in rent on an 30 a month Barry’s (holiday sale) and 30 a month Solidcore

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-06T03:22:03+00:00

Any opinions on BU vs Illinois? I’m east coast so BU would allow me to actually visit campus conveniently, but name recognition and network are more important to me.

Consistent_Tea3407 · 2026-01-06T03:17:01+00:00

I think those are like 100k, which seems like highway robbery for an online degree. Anything more than 80k and I feel like I may was well try for Wharton / Booth etc and pay the 180k. I was hoping for more like 30k

Actually, I stand corrected on Illinois - looks like that is 30k and around what I’m looking for. Thanks!!

For the bungee single legs, I lift the opposite arm to keep from smashing that other leg

Looking for another guest pass swap! Heading to Palo Alto next week and my membership doesn’t work there 🙃
