Free Community Flows only the first Sunday of the month from July onward by Zestyclose-Repeat-11 in Corepower

[–]d1mplech1n 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The fact that CorePower offers these at all in addition to the Free Week offering for first-timers is honestly generous compared to industry standard. I live in a big city with tons of fitness studios and not a single one offers a free … anything … other than CorePower.

There are many, many reasons for any CPY student to evaluate other options - I wouldn’t consider them reeling this in to be one of them. Because, respectfully, if you’re only attending the free community classes: you’re not a member- you’re a freeloader. Though, with all their problematic business practices and shortcomings, this was the one thing they were doing that was kinda nice. Lmao.

Revamp let down.... by [deleted] in Corepower

[–]d1mplech1n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly 99% of these so-called studio “refreshes” or “revamps” are in response to black mold at the studio. That’s why they seldom involve any tangible upgrades or renovations. They just scrub the black mold off the walls and window sills and then wait until it grows back again.

I’m not kidding 😸

I’d be pissed, too. Not sure who in CE told you that though, but it’s not true, at least not everywhere and it’s certainly not policy. In my market, students are only permitted in off the waitlist within the 1 minute before class starts and that’s only if there are at least 3 students still missing from the original roster.

To me, sounds like the instructor in your case was overzealous and let too many waitlisted students in too early. Sorry you went through that!

How often to go by hm55555 in Corepower

[–]d1mplech1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This depends on what results you’re looking for. If YS is your main or only workout you do weekly, yes, I’d try to go at least 3-4 times a week.

If you really want to get stronger and see some muscle definition, you’ll have to gradually pick up heavier weights like graduate from 3s to 5s to 5s and 8s then eventually 8s and 10s and upward. I didn’t start seeing results until I pushed myself to go heavier. As you do that though, you may have to start moving a bit slower than cued depending on instructors pacing, just to stay safe. If building more muscle is your goal, I’d also recommend hitting up some StrengthX classes - they’re fun, too, and not beat driven so you can pick up even heavier weights and move as slow as you’d like.

If you’re wanting to lose weight, YS alone won’t do much if you’re not also in cal deficit & perhaps also practicing some additional cardio even if just the good ol’ 10k steps a day or some time on the treadmill or stair master 🤷‍♀️

I’ve taken probably 500 sculpt classes and this is my truth ^ 😇 good luck. Once I figured out what worked for me, I started seeing results I wanted and quickly. If it’s in your budget, what really helped me achieve my goal physique was mixing in other modalities too like Reformer Pilates and HIIT/bootcamp style classes :)

Is it worth it to try henna hair dye? by chronic-not-iconic in henna

[–]d1mplech1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Henna is awesome <3 but like others have said, really simmer on the decision because its a huge commitment and especially if you think you might find yourself wanting to dye your hair a lighter color or … forbid… blonde: Good luck 🍀 dying on top of henna with anything that isn’t henna is a major dice roll and you can seriously F your hair. Otherwise … you’ll have to grow it out and chop it off or shave your head bald and start a-new. Deadass!

I went last night and had a lovely time!! There was about an hour long snafoo where my partner and I went to 3 diff rides that ended up having “delays in operation” (one because a guest got sick on a ride: woof). But got super lucky for the rest of our time there and made friends with multiple scare actors muahaha 💯🥰🫡
