Yeah, no. I'm glad you love it so much, but for multiple reasons it is absolutely not a fit for me. It's not about getting used to it, either. It's not *that* complex. I'm also pretty sure I've figured out my plan: there's a deal on Bethesda-only pricing (8 classes/month for $199), which I'll buy and then supplement with off-peak as needed. I'll really miss one of my WW regulars, but I think this will be workable. I may add in a bit of lifting, too. -OP |
I’m with you, OP. I *want to like PureBarre, but just don’t. I do like to supplement SolidCore with Barre3 to work some balance work in, but there’s something about Pure Barre that just doesn’t feel right for my body. |
Am glad to hear you find Barre3 a good supplement! PureBarre just isn't a good fit for my personality (and no amount of it is going to get me as strong as I want to be). I'll take brutally hard sequences set to blaring EDM, thanks. ![]() |
PureBarre is insanely boring, and I swear the instructors try to find bad music. |
In case anyone else was going to take advantage of the Bethesda-only pricing deal, it sounds like it only runs through May. Still waiting to hear details from the studio manager, but thought I'd bump up in case others are considering.
-OP |
I haven't heard of this deal. What is it, and where can I get more info? |
I literally saw it written on the dry erase board in the studio ($199/8 classes per month). I had to email Bethann to ask about it, so I would do that if you're interested. Not sure how long it runs, i.e., if you buy now that price is good indefinitely, or what. |
+1, it said Bethesda-only |
I believe you are locked in, you are locked in at that price until you cancel. (allegedly). |
Who's your favorite Wildwood coach? A number of my faves left. |
It depends on when you can go. Adina, Liana, Ryan, Bethann all coach there and are all terrific (if somewhat different in style). Anne is great, too. Katherine (although I feel like her classes are very core focused, and I prefer more variety--but she's awesome). Who left that you really liked? |
Oh! That's exactly what I like! Nothing frustrates me more than bicep silliness. Sometimes I feel like a lot of the arm work can be done at the gym or home. Core is where it's at! ![]() |
Then you will love her! ![]() ![]() |
Kat? Interesting, I think of her (and Ryan) as one of the most well rounded of the teachers. I have the exact opposite reaction as pp. I don’t want to do additional muscle work after taking solidcore. |
I keep reading about Lagree supreformer, which sounds very similar to solidcore. It would be great if that or something similar would come to the area for a little price competition. Otherwise I think solidcore devotees are kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place, because the workout requires an expensive piece of equipment AND a coach, and thus is pricey.
