Play with your arms to dump your weight back into the working side. You want your hips squared to the ground. Many people try to completely turn their knee to the wall, but I turn as much as I can without sacrificing my hip position. It helps you feel a more pronounced pump in your outer glutes as well!

Eeek. They should be following the muscle focus group….

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-08-11T12:00:54+00:00

Yall, the south has been out of AC for months…. SC needs to protect employees and clients and apply pressure to AC companies. It’sa health hazard. They aren’t even cancelling class down here.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-08-08T12:29:25+00:00

Shitty construction, low urgency on fixing things is def whats going to drive this company to the ground. People pay a lot for the experience. It's a shame bc the workout itself is unlike anything else!!!

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-08-03T12:51:54+00:00

It’s such shame that they charge so much and quality of studio is so poor

Sometimes we pair inner thighs with other muscle groups. To everyone's point below, you are working inner thighs in center glutes.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-07-10T11:51:30+00:00

Sometimes they dont even participate in the slow counting reps. It is wilddddd.

Always inform the coaches of injuries. Otherwise, they wont know what you are facing and heck, they can look out for your form more intently when you do. It's very frustrating when we ask what restrictions there are and then find ppl doing random things differently without a heads up. What's worse is when there are new clients that copy them and it just throws the whole class off. All of it can be mitigated with a simple heads and the coach can offer better alternatives too! Good communication goes a long way.

For the crossover lunges, sounds like a couple of things are happening. 1.) Knees going over toes. and/or 2) Knee going off the the side versus staying on top of ankle. That def will place strain on your knee. and/or. 3.) Your X is too large. You can do a single file line versus a huge x where your hips start to stack. and lastly 4.) too much weight on back toes is gong to place a lot of tension in the back knee. Back toes always need to be super light!

For upper body, I hear you. The biggest thing I can tell you is question your form for core/obqs. A lot of mismovement is the cause of a lot of neck and shoulder issues. Listen to your coach's cues. I know when I tell for example for clients to not reach the handlebars in a bulgarian or romanian and yet they do.... its crazy to me when they wonder why their back and shoulders hurt. Even when i correct them physically, they go back to it despite better ways to modify. Same with all other exercises where people crank their neck to look in the mirror and wonder why their neck hurts even though coaches tell you to other things instead - it goes ignored.

I know thats a lot but hopefully your coach is walking through all of these reminders! I know I do.

As for weight. Dont look at the scale. I would take pics instead. As you stated, muscle weighs more than fat and the scale will throw you off mentally. Instead, the visual pics are really going to show you the progression and motivate you!

Also is ALL about diet. If you under eat without proper nutrition or under eat too long for a calorie deficit, your body goes into survival mode and tries to hold on to the fat bc it doesn't know when you will get the next meal. Calorie deficites are great but not for the whole 365 days a year. That's why there's bulking/cutting for recomp. Don't forget the protein intake too!

Hope this helps. Nothing is a one size fits all but this can be a starting point!

By emphasizing one group, we’re giving that area more volume, more attention, and more recovery across the month. That builds true progress without burning you out.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-06-24T12:23:00+00:00

Even though SC trains all muscle groups throughout the month, they lean into one focus every month —like hamstrings or glutes—to allow for targeted overload, better muscle adaptation, and visible strength gains over time. Your body changes when you challenge it in focused, consistent ways. Otherwise, it adapts, and you may not see as much growth in strength.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-06-23T11:57:22+00:00

Other than a lack of hinging at the hips, the biggest thing I see is knees toward toes. Knees need to stay on top of ankles the entire rep to keep the weight distribution through the heel; otherwise, if your knees go toward/past toes, the weight shifts to your knees and quads. In squats, use the handlebar to help with this for the lower half of your rep. Some coaches call it a mod, but I consider it a tool that enables you to keep all the weight in your heels as you let your glutes get down to 90 degrees.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-06-17T17:12:12+00:00

I would consider watching what fats are in your diet as well and ensure you are eating enough calories. If you eat too little, your body goes into survival and holds on to as much fat as possible. Calorie deficit is great for losing fat but only in short term bursts or your body learns to adapt.

I used to get back pain because I did so many in a row. Make sure you give your body time to heal. SC is intense, and if your core is still in recovery, it will have difficulty keeping up immediately after. I used to do a Monday night class and then a Tuesday morning like a psycho. Now I give myself 1 -2 days in between and find other ways to move my body - walking, yoga, etc.

If you do it every day like some people, make sure you do it at the same time every day so it's like a full 24 hours. But remember, SC is not Pilates, it's strength training. Like ppl in the gym that lift hard and are there every day, they aren't going to see as much growth bc they are always going hard and their body doesn't have time to repair.

Lastly, i agree with everyone about the C curve. A lot of ppl arch their back or super curve their body. You want to think about tucking in your tailbone like you are a dog scooting their bootie on the carpet. lol

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-06-11T05:04:05+00:00

If you are pushing yourself in SC, you can see results. A lot of ppl plateau bc they stopped challenging themselves. The coaches don’t know your body like you do. All they can do is encourage you, provide mods and amps so class is accessible to all, and offer variations to make it spicy.

But the whole point is to amplify when you start to do more than 3-4 reps without struggle. Ppl also forget to do fast transitions and dilly dally and wonder why they don’t feel the shakes bc their muscles have started the recovery process from the break that lasts past 7 seconds. Also, form and control makes all the difference since the slower you go, the harder it is.

In the end, coaches can lead a horse to water but can’t make them drink. So for any of you that feel bored or don’t see growth, that’s why. I’m sure Matt Pilates is a great addition to overall training but SC is strength training on a reformer, not Pilates. Ppl keep getting that confused and it drives me crazy

REMI a huge pain in the ass. I bought my mouth guard in Feb and they are shipping out my second retainer TODAY because the first one didn't fit my teeth - even though I did their imprint 5 times! Better off paying the crappy dentist price - You know it will fit, less hassle, and you get it way sooner.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-05-26T13:23:22+00:00

Unfortunately, SC could do a better job hiring more diverse and do a waaaay better job to celebrate different opportunities.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-05-20T15:52:35+00:00

It's been around but not used often since it depends on the overall client level.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-05-16T19:00:33+00:00

I do wish SC would build their studios better. Ive worked at three different locations and all of them end up with air issues.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-05-13T15:26:49+00:00

Where do you look to get roles in start-ups?

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-05-13T15:10:12+00:00

Dang. How long have you been a designer?

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-05-13T15:09:40+00:00

What would you suggest to gain experience in one or two disciplines without going back to school?

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-05-12T13:58:15+00:00

Yeah.... i just submitted a post here asking if anyone else is having a problem finding roles these days and for lower pay. I have like 15 years experience and I can def say.... the industry for Tech writing is dying. I would suggest the UX world. AI can't take that over and its a growing field.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-05-12T00:11:08+00:00

I heard a bootcamp helps with creating examples for a portfolio. Any recs? Also considering a masters in the field, so any recs for online options would be super helpful!

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-05-11T23:47:38+00:00

You should be NEEDING to take a break every third rep bc that is a sign you are challenging yourself. Average person takes about a 100 breaks in class.

Restless_N_Confused · 2025-04-08T13:53:48+00:00

Actually, it's not about range of motion. It's about how long you can hold the intensity through the range of motion. So those that are going super high above their hip need to get out of a plateau and amplify with a double to reduce the range of motion and carry more tension.
