[SOLIDCORE]

Why I Keep Going Back to Solidcore (Even Though It Feels Like Torture)

Okay, let’s be real for a second. If you’ve ever walked into a Solidcore class, you know that feeling—when the room is dark, the music is thumping, and you’re pretty sure you’ve just signed up for a torture session that you volunteered for. But here’s the thing: I love it. Every. Single. Time. And here’s why…

The Dark Room, Loud Music, and the (Almost) Torture

First of all, let’s talk about the vibe. The room is always dimly lit, which is amazing because, honestly, who wants to look at themselves struggling through an intense workout? Plus, the dark room lets me focus on the burn without the distraction of seeing how much I’m sweating (spoiler: it’s a lot).

Then there’s the music. The loud, bass-thumping music that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of a rave and not, you know, slowly dying on a reformer machine. It’s the perfect distraction. You’re so caught up in the beat that you forget you’re about to lose all feeling in your legs or that your core is on fire.

But oh, the burn. The glorious burn. Every move is designed to target your muscles until they’re begging for mercy, and there are moments when I seriously question my life choices. I mean, why do I enjoy this? Why am I willingly putting myself through what feels like pure physical torture?

Then, the last minute of class hits. And it’s like magic. I push through the last few seconds, and all of a sudden, I feel like a warrior who’s just slayed a dragon. The satisfaction of surviving that intense hour, the endorphins flooding my system, the sense of accomplishment… It’s the best feeling in the world. Sure, I might have had a moment during class where I wanted to crawl into a corner and never move again, but as soon as it’s over, it feels 100% worth it.

What Is Solidcore, Anyway?

Okay, if you’ve never been, here’s what you’re in for. Solidcore is a full-body workout that uses a reformer machine (you know, the one that looks like a medieval torture device) to work every muscle group. The focus is on slow, controlled movements designed to build strength, endurance, and lean muscle, especially in your core. And yes, while it might feel like you’re not moving much, don’t be fooled. Each movement is purposeful and will make you question your very existence.

The workout is all about intensity and pushing your limits. It’s not about speed; it’s about making every second count. And trust me, it does.

Achievable for Everyone, If You’re Up for the Challenge

Now, here’s the good news: Solidcore is totally achievable for everyone. Yes, even if you’re not a fitness guru or can’t do a single push-up. The beauty of Solidcore is that it’s scalable—there are modifications for every move, and the instructors are super supportive, helping you get the most out of each session, no matter your level.

It’s tough, no doubt about it. But if you’re up for a physical and mental challenge, you’re going to love it. You’ll walk out of each class stronger, more empowered, and maybe a little sore (okay, probably a lot sore), but you’ll feel like a total badass.

The Price Tag

Let’s talk about the price for a second. Yes, Solidcore is a little on the pricey side. But hey, you’re investing in yourself. And the value you get from those 50 minutes of high-intensity, muscle-sculpting action? Worth it. Plus, the sense of community and the encouraging environment make every penny worth it.

Why It’s My Favorite Workout

At the end of the day, Solidcore has become my favorite workout because it’s not just about the physical results (although those are amazing too). It’s about the mental challenge, the feeling of accomplishment, and the way it pushes me to be better—both inside and outside the studio.

So, if you’re up for a workout that leaves you questioning your life choices and feeling like a superhero at the end, Solidcore is your place. The dark room, the loud music, the burn—it’s a love-hate relationship that I wouldn’t trade for anything.
