Op here. Thanks for the feedback. Going to give an intro class a try. I was also told that people with injuries will often go to intro classes regularly because they move slower overall, and if the participant is more experienced they have freedom to work at their preferred intensity level as they like. No idea what the reality is, but I guess I’ll find out soon!

I’m the first PP - this isn’t my experience at all, in over 900 classes. The coaches *always* ask if anyone has injuries and provide modifications. I have an old lower back injury and solidcore is one of the few strength approaches that doesn’t exacerbate it.

As for injury prevention, that’s on individual clients, frankly. The workout is not high impact and the whole point is to move slowly. Not much for the coaches to prevent if clients are following instructions.


DP. I’ve attended over 300 classes and have known a number of people who have been injured. Not sure I agree with your assessment. But I fell out of love with solidcore long ago.


How do you propose coaches prevent injury? They already ask about injuries and limitations before classes. There’s no impact or fast, jerky movements. At some point, people have to take responsibility for their actions, including signing up for and taking the class. It’s not CrossFit, FFS.


Movements need not to fast or jerky to cause injury. Just an inch or half an inch too far can cause an injury. The room is dark and the coach can’t really see across the room well.

I have no idea what your “FFS” is about but when you get overheated about something basic, it says to me that maybe you are not cool headed about this.


Even if the room were well-lit - which it is for the beginner and foundations classes, different people have different ranges of motion, height, etc. The person who can best tell if their movements are incorrect for them is the person doing the exercise.

Again, basic personal responsibility goes a long way here. I’m not overheated, just rolling my eyes.


Cool and that’s why the posters were giving their own experience. So posters can have full knowledge, and you know, take personal responsibility and not go to the class at all. (Please go ahead and re-read the first post you took issue with).

Do you know how many different studios there are in the DMV? Are you telling us you have been to everyone and know all the instructors? That comment alone is laughable, but coupled with the number of classes, it seems like you are so in the tank for them that you cannot accept anyone had a different experience.

1500 classes? You either work there or have spent upwards of $30,000 there?
