[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue with solidcore was that they refused to offer modifications to the exercises [b]and as a beginner at some points I was legit worried about my safety with the machines.

If you're looking for strength training then I'd recommend Madabolic - the coaches are obsessed with form and I've learned a ton there. [/quote]

This. They tell you to "push your muscles to the point of failure" meaning they want you to be shaking and collapsing. That's insanity, and it's dangerous.[/quote]
Not insanity at all, it’s absolutely true that one must work muscles to their failure point (i.e., to the point where you can’t do another rep) to most effectively increase muscle strength, endurance, and maximize post-workout energy usage (=burning calories).

In most cross-fit type classes, one works to their muscle failure point by increasing the amount of weight lifted.  In Solidcore, no heavy weights are used, but there are lots and lots of reps and time spent in various holds. It is basically yoga with some added tension applied via resistance cables.
