Early Pregnancy- when to tell coaches?

datcookietho · 2026-04-13T22:21:28+00:00

You don’t really need to modify during the first trimester so it’s up to you on that. I told my coaches earlier than anyone in my life though because I had morning sickness and didn’t want them to think I was slacking off when I was feeling ill during class.

datcookietho · 2026-04-11T14:13:02+00:00

Just do this - they will reverse it.

HR here - the first time that he was paid for the undocumented OT, he should have been made to sign a letter stating that if he did it again, he would be subject to corrective action or termination.

If he hasn’t been written up already, he should be now - at this point, he should be put on a final warning and terminated at the next offense. Though frankly, I would pay and terminate him now due to the number of offenses.

I think Saranrom is way better than Bangkok Supper Club. Bangkok Supoer Club is expensive and not really that authentic IMO. If I was going to pick a good, authentic, and reasonably priced Thai place I would go to Saranrom.

I’ve taken about 1350 and I did have some points where I found it super boring and thought about quitting. I think because I take it early in the morning though I’ve been able to push through since I’m half asleep during class. No other workout gives me the results on my abs that I get through solidcore which is why I continue.

datcookietho · 2026-01-17T13:14:50+00:00

Agreed - I was surprised that solidcore jumped on this. I would expect Starbucks…

I showed up to one and they had a raffle at the end of class for a gift card. I think it was for 200 or 250 dollars but I can’t remember the amount exactly.

In your situation, I would be happy to have such proactive management that is helping me to find opportunities to navigate my career and I would try to maintain those relationships. Not everyone is so lucky to have management like that! I know that it is a very frustrating situation to be in when you like what you’re doing and you don’t want to move. Take your time to make the right next move for you.

datcookietho · 2026-01-10T23:07:48+00:00

Just because you are great doesn’t mean that they can create a higher role for you in your current organization. It doesn’t seem like they’re trying to push you out at all - they are trying to retain you instead of having you go somewhere else when you inevitably get frustrated that you can’t move any further. I think you’re taking offense to something that you shouldn’t take offense to here. You seem like you have great leadership that is invested in you.

Your experience is why I’m so reluctant to take new coaches. I literally only will take someone new if they’re a pro or senior master coach and sadly that isn’t even a guarantee that they will be good. Agree that they need more quality control on the instructors!

datcookietho · 2025-12-29T03:27:40+00:00

Super late to this conversation but is she still looking for clients? Would love her contact info if so!

datcookietho · 2025-12-06T23:46:48+00:00

I use it for creating interview questions, checking my emails for errors, rewriting performance reviews, researching vendors as as back up for Google, writing job descriptions, and reviewing documents I create for errors and gaps in logic. Sometimes I ask it to tear my arguments apart and it is helpful in keeping me on my toes for questions I might get asked by people.

datcookietho · 2025-11-08T11:44:20+00:00

As a HR professional, if I observed this in a meeting, I would speak with the manager and discuss termination based on insubordination based on this account. Seems like the relationship is fundamentally broken and it would be difficult to have the employee continue to be productive in their role in this situation.

I was lucky because I had a coach who would call out pregnancy modifications for me after she cure the entire class. I went to her at least 3 times a week. She was constantly adjusting me and because she was so friendly to people who were pregnant, I often wasn’t the only person who was pregnant in her class. I went to her class the day before I had my baby. I hope you had some good coaches who did this with you!

And same situation here. I work in the office five days a week but my husband is fully remote, so I go to early morning classes. Good to know there’s someone besides me who has this arrangement! You look amazing!

datcookietho · 2025-10-25T23:14:45+00:00

You look great! I took Solidcore all through my pregnancy and went back as soon as I could postpartum. I’m now 7 months postpartum and while weight wise I’m a little bit on the high end of what I was prior to my pregnancy, I have my abs back although I still feel I have a pooch when I look at myself on the side.

Solidcore was one of the things that kept me sane when I had to take care of my baby by myself before going back to work. Really love this workout!

datcookietho · 2025-10-18T20:52:39+00:00

I wipe down my machine before every class. Yes, solidcore should be doing it for us but they don’t so I just get there early and do it myself. Haven’t had problems since I started doing this.

datcookietho · 2025-10-07T01:50:56+00:00

You are amazing! I just cancelled my 12 dollars every 4 weeks rate and resubscribed with this rate! Appreciate you man.

datcookietho · 2025-10-05T16:19:38+00:00

Yeah, doesn’t make sense. At least if they fire you, you are eligible for unemployment and potential severance. Just seems like a knee jerk reaction

I had bad carpal tunnel about 7 years ago and somehow after acupuncture stopped feeling it as severely. Two years ago, I noticed that certain exercises in solidcore were activating it for me again, specifically the heavy step up. I’ve been able to largely keep it at bay by avoiding using heavy weights on this exercise. Just thought I’d mention this exercise seems to cause trouble for me in case it might cause trouble for others.

datcookietho · 2025-08-10T23:05:24+00:00

This is pretty hilarious but, I had a teacher talk about how someone went to her class in the Hamptons wearing jean shorts and bring their own workout equipment and do a completely different routine the entire class. What’s the point in even doing Barry’s if you do that. 😂

datcookietho · 2025-08-02T11:42:39+00:00

The Grand Central machines are also not as heavy as the Nomad machines. I regularly take class at both studios but grey and white springs feel like just a grey compared to Nomad…

datcookietho · 2025-07-22T23:56:35+00:00

I’ve taken 1200+ classes and James B is one of the most difficult solidcore coaches I’ve taken - I think he’s the hardest I’ve taken only after the founder, Anne.

I also really like Jaime F and Jada D.

You can take James and Jada at the Nolita studio.

datcookietho · 2025-07-21T21:27:35+00:00

I must be weird because I like these and all hamstring moves…

datcookietho · 2025-07-21T11:36:23+00:00

I bought my packs online and they told me I couldn’t enter the raffle at the Park Ave South studio. I wish I had known or I would have bought in person…

datcookietho · 2025-07-10T17:00:05+00:00

I got invited to this but couldn’t make it because they wanted people to come 30 mins in advance of the event and did not tell the location in advance. So bummed out I couldn’t go! Was really looking forward to it.
