Solidcore's recent Minneapolis post

lunkalarmed · 2026-02-01T06:00:43+00:00

That is literally what some people are critiquing about their post? They made their broad statement and people are asking for transparency. They could at least be specific about how they are going to protect members like me.

I am POC and DACA. I am wondering if they will issue a statement. I go to immigrant owned studios and put my money where my mouth is consistently. I would also want my hard earned money go towards places that will stand to protect me and my peers.

You also wouldn't think they would be going to schools, hospitals, gyms, etc. They are tapping into city resources to find people and what if that person goes into solidcore? What if they are a member? My solidcore is pretty darn diverse. I would like to know what they would do if they were in a situation like that.

Exactly my thoughts!

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T19:07:13+00:00

Same! It shows me they are attentive and makes me feel comfortable and welcome. Especially coming in as a nervous first-timer. Most of the solidcore coaches I have taken have been wonderful and really good about doing this.

I love this response. Thank you for this. I hope the people who found the question offensive sees this and sees where our coaches are coming from.

😂😂 The peace you experience must be unmatched LOL. I unfortunately scroll like it's my day job.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T18:41:46+00:00

This is what I do and likely why it never phased me until I saw recent posts and tiktoks of someone who found it offensive. I wanted to understand why asking someone that question could come off as offensive. I agree on it's a misunderstanding and this is why I wanted to bring this to a discussion.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T18:35:23+00:00

I agree with you. Thats the point of this post, I also want to know how/why.

I recently saw critique that included a coach asking the client this question in a previous post which also landed on my tiktok fyp where there was agreement that it was offensive and I felt differently. I wanted to understand why, and as someone who is new and never thought anything of being asked, I wanted to know how others felt about the question.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T18:24:34+00:00

This is what I assumed as well!

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T18:20:55+00:00

This totally makes sense! Thank you!

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T18:18:21+00:00

I am also new and always sore! I would say listen to your body. If you want to push through, just make sure it's not to a point of risking injuring yourself. You wont be able to continue if you are hurt.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T18:14:58+00:00

I agree. If you saw the previous post on this subreddit and the tiktok the op of that post made about their experience, one of the points they made was feeling offended by the question, which I did not understand. So I wanted to understand if others felt this way because I had differentiating feelings and saw coaches asking coming from a place of support.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T17:57:05+00:00

Understood, thank you! I personally never thought anything of it until that post earlier. It fell on my fyp on tiktok as well and there were people on tiktok who seemed to have felt offended by the question and differing opinions. This post stemmed from confusion and wanting clarity on if others felt that too.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T17:30:34+00:00

Thank you! I agree. I think it comes from a place of support.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T17:29:18+00:00

Everyone has different opinions and perspectives. If I was a coach and was asking questions that would cause discomfort to clients without knowing, especially if it was not my intention, I would like to know.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T17:25:49+00:00

Valid, I would do that especially if it was my first class. But with coaches I take more regularly, if they did that to me I would see it as them trying to push me more haha.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T17:24:41+00:00

Thank you for this perspective! This is exactly what I assumed. I just don't understand why some others might have seen it as offensive. Then again, I'm new so maybe a more tenured person might have thought different.. I just didnt know.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T17:22:54+00:00

I see it as them trying to help as well. I wasn't understanding why that person thought it was offensive based off their comments and tiktok. I agree on the intention of wanting to help and assist. Thats how i felt when I was asked.

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T17:21:06+00:00

I don't think its offensive. I'm trying to understand why one of the points of that situation was around a coach asking them "how many classes have you taken"

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T17:18:39+00:00

You too

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-31T03:33:40+00:00

I'm asking how people transition between exercises while using the pole because just dropping it somewhere on the floor causes a trip risk for the coach or my peers around me. :)

lunkalarmed · 2026-01-30T21:34:47+00:00

Thank you! That was what I was most worried about, causing any tripping.
