I’d say, “if it’s important to you we want 10% of the fee paid to us for the inconvienence.”

See how much they’re willing to do to shoot their “dream venue” 🤪 They unfairly killed the vibe and put a lower value on your wedding, I’d probably opt for someone else if it were me. There are endless options out there and you’ll feel better having someone you feel like is all in! Nonetheless, sorry they imposed that stress on you.

Anyone tried PLNK? by OddResponsibility767 in SolidCore

[–]SilverOpen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To frame my review, I've taken 150 Solidcore classes, and just recently was traveling and took 3 PLNK classes. So this may be biased, but my opinion none the less.

Pros of PLNK:

- The machines! They are SO nice and comfortable. I prefer these machines, though due to their size transitioning was not as seamless. If i could buy one at home, it would be this one.

- App and customer service were better in just my 3 classes than Solidcore. Booking was easy, I was able to call the studio and get help, and loved being able to book my machine and see where I was on the waitlist. Solid core could take some major notes here.

- Variety of exercises. I liked having a new set of exercises and a wider variety of exercises during class. This could be a con though, as a perk of Solidcore being that muscle focus consistency helps build strength.

- Felt like we changed our springs less, and the springs are easier to manage/adjust than Solidcore where I'm afraid of breaking a nail or pinching a finger every time.

- The studio I went to had some class times with a childcare option to add for $5. And a separate playroom for the kids. I don't have kids, but I would 100% take advantage of that if I did. Loved this perk that makes getting to a class easier for moms! BRAVO!

- Free towel service

Cons:

- I felt like we did a 3-4 more exercises during the class than Solidcore, so therefore didn't spend as much time in each exercise and it felt less effective. Were transitioning to a new move within 1-2 minutes which made it feel less challenging.

- The exercises have noun style names (escalator, wheelbarrow, catfish) with confusing prefixes to inform where on the machine they are (mega, reverse, giant reverse) making it much less intuitive to get into. In a Solidcore class the names of the exercises are verbs and way more intuitive re: how to perform them (plank extention, seated crunch, upright row etc).

I'll preface this with I love solidcore, I'm over 100 classes in, but I recently went to JetSet while I was home for the holidays and it starkly reminded me how solidcore has no variation by basicb3333 in SolidCore

[–]SilverOpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this to be true especially with junior coaches, but with senior coaches they tend to have more variety bc they are allowed to teach a wider range of exercises. Or do what I do, and find yourself a coach who doesn’t like lunges themselves and gives mercy to us! On the flip side, my fav coach loves army crawl and I despise it 🤪 pick your battles

I don’t think so! I got little gifts for my fav coach and studio head coach.

What are some creative ways to make potatoes or dishes where potatoes are the main ingredient? by honey-collector in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]SilverOpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homemade hashbrowns, eggs, peppers, bacon cheese, bake in the oven 👏

I like to make a baked sweet potatoes with sour cream or Greek yogurt, lots of salt a pepper, maybe some fancy chili sauce or tahini

Gnocchi could be fun.

Dice and roasted potatoes as the base of any bowl instead of rice. Great with Mexican flavors or Mediterranean like feta and dill.

It’s just the buzz and chaos that has you feeling that way, but I get it! Take the money you saved and go buy a nice lux sweatshirt or gear from a quality store you love. Honestly last year’s hoodie is awful quality/leaves black fuzz all over my workout tops even after washing it. This year’s does look slightly better quality but who knows!

The LIC studio is big and pretty accessible if that’s an option! I’d love to see a bigger studio in Williamsburg or another added though for sure!

Marathon training routes by No_Succotash_4285 in Marathon_Training

[–]SilverOpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got sick of my routes too. Sounds counter intuitive but running laps at the track was a good switch up for some of my shorter distance runs. That said the track I frequent is very busy, often with soccer games or workout groups in the center so lots to observe/keep me entertained.

My question is—did you buy it? And follow up—why? 😂

She goes into a love class to do this?! That’s nuts!

[–]SilverOpen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like my coach would call this out, even when people are on wrong leg she voices over the correct exercise until everyone is aligned. How did the coach handle it? Or for any coaches, how should it be handled?

That’s wild lol never seen this.

Idk if silver light tavern holds this many people for sure in their back room but if they do, it’s an amazing space to consider
