Is solidcore any good?

Well, if suggesting someone try a class sounds like a cult to you, I think you need help.

If asking a perfectly reasonable question ("what do people mean when they say this class changed their body?") before plunking down money and spending time seems weird to you, I think you should join a cult.

It makes your core more solid.

I have a ton of core strength and it kicks my ass. I don't think it is particularly cardio intensive, but I'm in good cardio shape so I might not notice as much. The big downside is that it is expensive. The first class is 19. Go give it a try to see what you think.

Are you still doing this? When are your recovery days?

I haven't done SolidCore in a couple of months because of the expense. My husband is between jobs right now so we are tightening our belts. I will go back to it once he starts back to work next month. I'm training for a couple of races in the spring so I've been running more. Some weeks I don't take too much recovery or my SolidCore day is my recovery or I only do a short run. Other weeks boot camp will be cancelled due to rain (March-December we are outside) or I will just take a day.

Somewhere I read that Michelle Obama likes to do this workout.

I would like to try it but OMG the cost!!

It's not the cost of the first class, it is how expensive it would be to do it once a week.

It's all relative. Cheaper than a personal trainer

Totally teacher dependent. Sometimes it rocks; sometimes it's just a waste.

which teachers are good? i'm considering this for my postpartum-get-back-in-shape workout.

Has anyone been to the old town location yet?

Had my first class the other day and I am HOOKED.

It was by far the hardest thing i've ever done. I'd love to hear from people who have been practicing for multiple months.

How did your body change?

I noticed major changes in my thighs, they really narrowed down particularly in the area closest to my knee. I haven't been in a while. I got out of the habit and I also was struggling with how much recovery time I needed between classes but I have a bunch of classes left in my package so I'll be heading back soon
