How Often Should I Take [solidcore] Classes?
By [solidcore]
If you've ever asked yourself, “How often should I do strength training?” you're not alone. At [solidcore], we want you to get the most out of every class. That doesn’t just mean pushing hard during the workout. It means knowing how often to show up, when to rest, and how to integrate [solidcore] into your broader lifestyle.
One of the most common questions we hear from both new and seasoned clients is: How often should I take [solidcore]?
It’s a great question! Take too few classes, and you may not see results. Take too many classes in a week consistently, and you risk burnout.
The sweet spot lies in finding the right balance between challenging your muscles and giving them the recovery time they need to grow stronger.

Why Class Frequency Matters
Your body adapts to the work you put it through. When you train your muscles, tiny fibers are broken down. During recovery, those fibers rebuild, and this is when muscle growth and strength gains actually occur.
Without enough consistent training, you won’t stimulate these adaptations. But here’s what some people don’t always realize: without rest, your muscles don’t have the opportunity to rebuild, and your performance can actually decline.
Research backs this up. A 2016 study found that training twice per week promoted superior muscle growth compared to training just once a week. In other words, if you’re not working a muscle group often enough, you lose out on progress. On the flip side, if recovery time is restricted or skipped altogether, overall muscle size and training performance can diminish — even if you’re doing more workouts.
The takeaway? The frequency of your [solidcore] classes is a crucial part of your fitness journey.
How Often Should I Do Strength Training If [solidcore] Is My Main Workout?
For many clients, [solidcore] is the primary or even sole form of exercise. In that case, we recommend aiming for 4–5 classes per week.
This frequency gives your muscles enough consistent stimulation to build strength and endurance while also allowing for recovery days. Push hard on class days, then let your muscles repair and adapt on rest days. Over time, this consistency builds the kind of lean, strong, resilient body [solidcore] is known for.
Spacing matters here, too. You shouldn’t take all classes back-to-back. For example, a Monday/Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday schedule offers plenty of challenge while also spacing out recovery.

If [solidcore] Complements Other Workouts
If you’re integrating [solidcore] into a broader fitness routine—whether you run, cycle, lift weights, swim, or play sports—it’s important to consider your goals and listen to your body when deciding how many classes to take each week. If your other workouts are higher intensity, 2–3 classes per week may be ideal. If your routine leans more low-to-moderate intensity, 4–5 classes per week may be a better fit.
Why is that? Because your body is already working hard through other types of movement. Adding too much [solidcore] on top of a busy training schedule can push you into the danger zone of overtraining.
By capping your classes at two or three per week, you’ll still gain the unique benefits of slow, controlled resistance training — core strength, improved posture, and muscular endurance — without overloading your system.
For example, a runner who takes [solidcore] on Tuesday and Friday might find their stride feels more powerful thanks to stronger glutes and hamstrings, while still having enough energy for speed training and long runs.
The Importance of Recovery Days after [solidcore]
It can be tempting to think that more is better, especially when you start to see results. But recovery is not downtime; it’s part of the process. Recovery days are when muscles repair, rebuild, and grow stronger. Without them, the risk of fatigue, plateau, or even injury increases.
Signs you might need more rest after strength training include:
Constant soreness that doesn’t go away between workouts
Decreased performance in class (shaking earlier than usual, harder to maintain proper form without joint discomfort, fatigue during moves that used to feel strong)
Trouble sleeping or feeling run-down
Irritability or lack of motivation to work out
If you notice any of these, it might be time to adjust your weekly schedule.
Listening to Your Body
Every client is different, and so is every body. Some people thrive on a higher frequency of classes, while others need more recovery to feel their best. The key is to listen to your body’s feedback and adjust accordingly.
Ask yourself after each week:
Am I getting stronger?
Do I feel energized or depleted?
Am I enjoying my workouts, or dreading them?
The answers to these questions will help you find your personal sweet spot.

Final Thoughts
If [solidcore] is your main form of exercise, 4–5 classes per week will help you maximize your results. If it’s part of a diverse fitness routine, 2–3 classes per week will give you the strength and endurance benefits without overwhelming your body. And no matter what your schedule looks like, never forget the importance of recovery.
Your body isn’t built in the studio — it’s built in the days between. By balancing effort and recovery, you’ll not only get stronger, but you’ll also feel stronger, move better, and stay consistent for the long haul.
