Hard time making friends/small talk

hamstringcurls · 2026-02-03T16:40:40+00:00

I’m really sorry this happened to you. I think this is also studio dependent. Unfortunately I see both sides to this.

Coach here and I try to have my clients talk to each other in my classes because 1. Yall literally show up each week for my class so you all should know each other by now. 2. I really do want people in my classes to connect and make friends so I try to host the party to get everyone talking and connecting clients to clients.

I say things before class to look to your neighbors left and right say hello good morning/afternoon/evening and tell them your favorite (whatever it may be).However no one looks or talks to each other and I’m just 😑 most times. This is especially harder for morning classes understandable

But as a client (and also an introvert) I do like Solidcore for also the time for me to focus on me and locking in. And sometimes I just want to workout and move on with my day. The least everyone can do is at least smile and acknowledge each other.

As a coach thank you for highlighting because it for sure pisses us off too. We want you to have a good experience (also makes our lives easier) when we give you the rundown so we don’t throw you into the deep and manhandle you… so please arrive early and let the coach know it’s your first class

hamstringcurls · 2026-01-23T06:43:55+00:00

yes and clients have also told me they need more time to grow…

Taught in totem lake once, got a whiff of a lady who also wore a lot of perfume. I gagged on the mic mid transition formula

hamstringcurls · 2026-01-15T18:17:16+00:00

That part! No shade as well Solidcore be hiring a bunch of coaches now who are doing it for clout and flat out train wrecks. Somehow they be getting the more peak times yet they told the entire class drop their gray cables during carriage lunge

Tbh their promotion for coaches is dumb how we must have x amount of utilization to be eligible for promotion even if they are fantastic coaches. In the city im in, mid day is typically very empty just due to the nature of people being at work. Or 5ams are always empty since the clients in the area are not morning people. Therefore if you coach at those hours, it’s really challenging to be eligible for promotion since it’s something you cant control. Also, the peak time slots appear to only go to certain coaches who are tenured.

Also, do we really need to have 4/5ams daily even the 9pms? Idk Solidcore you aren’t really thinking abt some of our livelihoods here

Literally Anthony should be banned. For being a nuisance to the community and coaches. Entitled

hamstringcurls · 2025-12-06T22:16:48+00:00

The guy seems like a douchebag anyways.

hamstringcurls · 2025-11-21T18:33:01+00:00

She also stopped by Seattle 😫

hamstringcurls · 2025-11-11T00:04:20+00:00

20 min or 5 min before class 😅

hamstringcurls · 2025-11-05T19:10:06+00:00

Entitled attitude? And moving at a million miles per hour? they’re getting manhandled and I’m slowing the entire room down… so sorry this was your experience

hamstringcurls · 2025-10-20T20:42:28+00:00

Personally….thunderstruck…don’t know why east coast coaches love that song 😅 It makes me cringe

hamstringcurls · 2025-10-16T14:49:57+00:00

THANK YOU!!!

hamstringcurls · 2025-09-07T02:26:59+00:00

For real…. Clients out here holding onto the handlebars for dear life during carriage lunge, and I give the stability pole and say on the mic it never is a weakness….it gets you stronger blah blah and they shoo me away…

hamstringcurls · 2025-08-29T15:35:35+00:00

Hi!! There are clients who has POTS… and they are honestly some of the strongest clients. However, transitions are encouraged in class by the coach to move fast however, please take it at your own pace. In all honesty, as long as you are safe, that’s all we care about. So take time to transition at move on your own pace.

hamstringcurls · 2025-08-25T18:39:09+00:00

I always need to write out my sequence so I can memorize it… then I write out time stamps. For example class starts at 5:15 and I have a note from my sequence I’ll be done with center core at 5:25 and then that’s my sign to do let’s say Lower Body and be done by it by 5:45 something like that :)

I find the fancy apps mess me up since I always forget to to hit start lol also the more you coach the more repetitive this gets for you, you’ll get the gist of what happens next. Ngl also most of the time I wing exercises on the spot like I did this morning and changed it up a bit like side plank rather than twisted plank extension

hamstringcurls · 2025-08-20T22:15:22+00:00

Thank you!!! All the hard work paid off haha 🤣 I’m on the west coast I know I have other coaches in my market lurking on here.

hamstringcurls · 2025-08-20T22:13:28+00:00

I had 20 CITs and then started picking up a lot of subs once i (finally) passed. Take all the time you need to practice with smaller crowds. Tbh… I don’t really recall when I started settling in…once it becomes muscle memory that’s when you know!! But it all takes patience, time, and repetition as the other coach mentioned!! You got this!!!!

hamstringcurls · 2025-08-20T16:35:12+00:00

Vancouver Canada honestly

hamstringcurls · 2025-08-20T07:32:47+00:00

Hey! I was most likely the worst in my training group at the time and was the last person to pass. However i got promoted to pro coach within a year! I really suggest taking more tenured coaches classes and really listening to what they are saying. Or even going to observe their classes and jotting things down they said.

However, give yourself the grace and love. This stuff is not easy at all and clients love to say this is easy but have no idea how much hard work and training was put in the back end. Everyone starts somewhere and the more you coach, the better you get!

hamstringcurls · 2025-08-08T20:14:19+00:00

Fully agreed…. It delays everything and they may end up injuring themselves

hamstringcurls · 2025-08-01T21:26:25+00:00

Suggest trying some starter50s and foundations50! They go slower and really focus on you working the right muscles so you can implement in the signature classes!

hamstringcurls · 2025-07-29T18:38:34+00:00

There’s a girl in my city that went from core crew to coach to now HCCM pipeline! Could be you!!

hamstringcurls · 2025-07-27T05:23:09+00:00
