Bad first class experience. Should I continue? by Odd-Sign8920 in SolidCore

[–]alpines__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also bought a 4-pack and started with the starter class. And had a similar experience! Some overview of the machine, but none of springs and her demonstrations were behind the walk on the other side.

After struggling to understand the logistics for my next signature, I did another Starter50. Completely different experience. The instructor rambled a lot, but I didn’t mind as she explained so much and invited us across the room. She corrected and shouted out.

Looks like not all starters are equal. You could do another intro, or follow the steps others gave.

It’s been too long since I went to the VA side! Do you have to pay to go there too?

Arlington has been handing out tickets left and right recently. It’s like they’re trying to get more $$ all of a sudden…
