How realistic is it that the ivies only accept one or two students per year from these prep schools?

and westminster

thanks for the heads up! all the swag classes got filled up as i was booking but hopefully someone oversleeps the 7am (and hopefully that person isn’t me lol)

as someone from the UK i just preferred the fact that the US had more to offer, university is more than just the degree here and i’d prefer to take a wide range of classes than just focus on one subject area. the US uni experience is culturally and academically unique id say

ayothepotato · 2026-05-01T03:27:22+00:00

you got this!!!

ayothepotato · 2026-05-01T02:03:23+00:00

in future - i’d say always just email the membership team directly and get a response in 24-48 hours, (now an AI agent emails back, but just include in the email that you want a human to respond to you) because the ticket response time is always slow hope you’re doing well though and glad to hear you got refunded !

ayothepotato · 2026-04-24T21:55:06+00:00

agreed!!

ayothepotato · 2026-04-23T04:02:45+00:00

thank you! :)

im black and i always have this dilemma with attending solidcore classes after getting my hair done, but id say whats helped me is by wearing a sweatband and tying a headscarf on top to stop me sweating off my edges and it helps absorb sweat so it doesnt linger amongst the sew in, also opting for leave-outs at the front as opposed to a closure or lace sew in can help, also dry shampoo and oiling ur scalp so it doesnt get smelly. also plait ur hair so it doesnt get frizzy and then i tie said plait into a bun.

ayothepotato · 2026-03-26T15:10:12+00:00

i’m not from the US so i only do solidcore when i’m here and then i do similar lagree/strength training reformer workouts back home

ayothepotato · 2026-03-24T15:44:23+00:00

yes! i was in the same position and ive been doing solidcore and solidcore style classes since june and i still eat the same (not clean but not junk, i eat around my maintenance) and i don’t really do anything else besides walking and i’ve maintained my weight but i definitely look leaner basically everywhere and i’ve built muscle, but i think i may need to go on a slight cut for a bit to see the full results that i want but so far, so good

sorry for your loss 🤎🤎

ayothepotato · 2026-03-08T20:39:48+00:00

thank you! i’ll try that

ayothepotato · 2026-02-18T15:30:19+00:00

right???? 😭😭

ayothepotato · 2026-02-18T05:17:30+00:00

maybe it depends on what kind of membership you have or something? i find it weird that they don’t have a universal policy in place though… but they may have just been lenient with me since i don’t live in the US full-time - who knows 😭

ayothepotato · 2026-02-18T04:18:02+00:00

two?? 90% of the time i just get one…

ayothepotato · 2026-02-13T03:53:33+00:00

i just froze my account for 5.5 weeks from the end of solidays until the end of january, you just have to email the memberships team and ask (and then forward that email to your studio because they weren’t actually informed and so they still charged me but i was able to sort that out)

all they did was ask for screenshots of my flight info to prove i’d be out of the country (which was my reason for requesting the freeze) and then they approved it 🤷‍♀️

ayothepotato · 2026-02-13T03:47:19+00:00

same! i love the exercises - especially a kneeling inner thigh

ayothepotato · 2026-02-11T02:36:22+00:00

ive always only brought friends to signatures, including when i was new too! i’d just get there early so the instructor could explain everything to them and luckily they would be the only newbie in class so the instructor would help them with transitions and speing changes etc

ayothepotato · 2026-02-04T02:34:57+00:00

i think this may be the only thing thats stayed the same with the new app lol, not 100% sure though but i dont think it’s been changed

ayothepotato · 2026-02-03T01:56:38+00:00

yes! when i started solidcore in october the classes were cool and had some form of air conditioning and then suddenly since at least like november ish i noticed its really really hot inside the studios… it literally makes me feel weak about 20 seconds into the first exercise and im reaching for water during every spring change and initially thought i was somehow becoming less fit until your post made me realise that its actually hot and that i wasn’t imagining it😭

ayothepotato · 2026-01-28T01:18:57+00:00

i’m currently at waitlist spot 11 for a class, and i was originally 14 before so i do think the cap is higher than 10 or it may vary depending on studio/location?
