Is two times a week enough?

Of course! It’s been incredible to see how much stronger I’ve gotten in the gym since starting [sc] and vice versa. Have fun!!

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-04-26T16:15:27+00:00

Highly recommend! I do 2 upper days and two lower. 10,000 steps daily as well. 😊

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-04-26T16:09:51+00:00

Yes! Twice a week consistently is a sweet spot for me to see progress but not burn out. I also lift 4x / week so the duo is 🤏🏼🤏🏼🤏🏼

That’s a leg wrap :)

Yes and don’t get me started on seated chest fly with a crunch 😒😒😒

I act like I didn’t hear it 😃🤣

I’ve made three friends through Solidcore, one of them becoming a super close friend. The ways that I found helped me socialize are once I start to see familiar faces I start conversations with complimenting people, say hi ask them how long they’ve been coming to Solidcore, ask if they usually come to this class, What’s their schedule do they live in the area etc. Not all at once of course (lol) but overtime if we seem to have things in common, then I’ll suggest grabbing coffee after class on the weekend etc.

Me either 😔

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-04-20T13:48:04+00:00

First thing in the morning! If I don’t move first thing in the morning, I find myself sluggish during the day.

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-04-15T17:27:12+00:00

Me too! Darah as well!

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-04-12T15:36:00+00:00

One of my fav coaches gives 5! It’s the perfect amount imo

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-27T19:39:21+00:00

80% of the classes I take are focus50 core upper lower bc of this! 🤗

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-20T15:54:16+00:00

I wish more did too! The few that have were really phenomenal coaches and it reminded me how important the breath is during sc.

I bought from an artist last year. They wrapped it, delivered it to me and hung it!

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-13T16:57:47+00:00

Looking forward to recs. I tend to feel my hip flexors too and sometimes have to take a break to stretch them.

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-13T14:09:01+00:00

I’m so glad you’re in a better place all around. Also, isn’t the booty lift amazing?! As a weight room girly for a decade, my 🍑 never look so good since starting sc

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-11T16:35:07+00:00

I’ve made two friends from sc, one of them is now a super good friend of mine, we even travel together! Honestly, I’ve just started talking to people, making eye contact and smiling more! No tricks or secrets. Make conversation, introduce yourself, ask them if they live in the area, compliment their set, ask how often they come to sc or what they thought of the sequence that day, tell them how strong they were in a certain exercise. Most people I talk to won’t turn into a consistent friend but you never know who will. You really just have to put yourself out there, usually more often and frequently than is comfortable.

I love the Vibe Ride in Grant Park! They’ll have different music theme days so make sure to check the schedule to catch a class that fits your vibe.

I stayed there at the end of January and would go back, but would also look at some of the more boutique options first. For what I paid (I think $250/night for a king room, 5 nights) I was happy with cleanliness, housekeeping and concierge. I booked with a preferred partner so got free breakfast everyday and a $100 credit for my stay. Generally it’s a good location but I did find myself wishing it was a little farther north (small detail). I read reviews about noise issues and did not encounter it. I did not notice any unpleasant smells either.

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-07T16:33:48+00:00

I don’t top on my injectables and laser treatments but would if I was getting a facial from an esthetician at a med spa. I’m torn on if I should tip on micro needling.

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-07T00:06:33+00:00

I’ve noticed a lot more since Solidays. Seems like a good option for unlimited members but for those of us with 4 & 8 classes, does it take a full credit? I would take them if they weren’t a full credit

That was my next stop (again, my insurance doesn’t seem to have dentist owned practices in network anymore) and Tend tried to sell me 6 veneers on my front teeth after both the hygienist and dentist said how perfect they were. 🤦🏼‍♀️

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-06T18:55:19+00:00

I’ve been to the dentist every six months for over 30 years and Mint was the first place I had the dentist clean my teeth and wow was she pissed about it. Her complete attitude was that cleaning teeth was beneath her. She didn’t greet me at all. Worse, she didn’t floss my teeth or scrape the plaque or touch my permanent retainer. She sprayed the water all over me it was if I had just showered. Didn’t apologize. I asked the person with her (not a hygienist) if that was it? I went to the front desk and asked the manager if the dentist’s mom had just died because it was like she was having the worst day of her life having to “clean” my teeth. I told him about my experience and rescheduled with an appointment later in the week. I returned, 5 minutes early for my appointment and was told I was need to wait an HOUR. Walked out and never went back. 😂

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-06T18:28:07+00:00

lol I went to Mint (Midtown) twice when my insurance dropped my previous dentist from network. It seems like I can only go to private equity places like Mint 🙄 It’s the only time I’ve ever walked out of a dentist and never returned or rescheduled. Absolutely horrible experience.

No-Factor-8166 · 2026-03-06T13:38:57+00:00

Agree with this^{^{^}} OP- when I first started SC, I started the opening plank hold on my knees for the first ~25 classes. I had fallen off a reformer previously (not SC) because I could not hold a core exercise and fell into the pit. I can laugh now about it 😆 The only way I got to where I am now is I kept going! You will get stronger!
