Nancy's Reviews

Very easy to follow :)

I look forward to seeing the next step up from beginners in calisthenics is going to look like and ready to take on that challenge when it comes!

Great experience in learning basic calisthenics skills and training exercises. Had a great time going through the workouts and seeing my progress! Highly recommended!

So soo thankful I've joined this challenge! This had greatly helped me take a step further in my fitness journey as well as introduced me in the world of calisthenics! Nancy had explained well the exercises and were easy to understand! The daily challenges were beginner friendly, and are doable especially if you are eager enough to learn. Had learned a lot from this challenge! Fallen a little bit in the middle of the challenge due to life matters, however still determined to pickup where I left off, and finish what's left! Would definitely incorporate the exercises in my routine. In addition, the community members were so supportive to one another and gave off really good vibes! 100% would recommend the challenge!

I thoroughly enjoyed the user-friendly interface and the supportive community in this challenge. It was a fantastic experience overall, except for some confusion regarding the submitted photos. The creator of the challenge and the rules for photo submission seemed to differ, which was a bit perplexing. Despite this minor issue, I managed to submit the photos with one of the captions. I highly recommend this challenge to anyone interested in incorporating calisthenics into their fitness routine. I intend to integrate it into my regular gym routine to enhance my strength and overall fitness. Amazing 👏

Super fun, loved the community aspect

AMAZING ENERGY AND PERFECT FOR COMPLETE BEGINNERS!!! LOVED IT!

Didn’t get to try it out :( but it looked well organized and community chat looked like it was a safe place to interact with others

Easy to follow and the videos help seeing all different progression levels. I’ve been enjoying seeing myself get stronger as the weeks go by!

Like the community and how they keep each other motivated on the challenge and the exercises.. also the creator and her energy 😊😊

Unfortunately I’ve got tonsillitis😢 But I wanna stay strong and go on this challenge💪🏼 Now I’ve only done 2 out of 6 workouts in the fist week, but I’ve loved it! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s leg day!

Amazing

I'm travelling and don't have options for two of the exercises on pull day, would love a small note on good alternatives without any equipment Most days seem a bit easy but I get it that it's for people without any experience with weights and hope there will be a follow up course with harder exercises

I love the entire 30 day program .

absolutely amazing. would love maybe add some diet stuff maybe. I am sore.

I like this product I feel stronger

I wanted to improve myself but I have no experience nor do I have the knowledge for it. Also lacked motivation a lot, but this challenge is helping me on all aspects and is really great.

This is a fun and challenging workout challenge

I feel like some exercises were hard to do at home like body weight rows and tricep dips. I also wish we got tips on nutrition/rest times/ or gym versions of each workout

The challenge itself was ok but she lowkey forgot about us after it started. There were I think 2 weeks (if not more) of advertising on her instagram to get people to join, she made a post on the first day of the challenge and then after the first day it was   q u i e t. No post or anything during the challenge, for the money I paid I was at least expecting some encouragement from her but whatever, I got that from other members. The challenge ended i believe on the 8th and there was raido silence for a couple more days, people in the solin community were starting to wonder where she is. Then she posted something on the 11th saying that the winners of the challenge will be announced on the 20th. as I am writing this review it is the 23rd and there is still nothing new anywhere. Not on her insta and not on solin. I get that life gets crazy, all the comments were nice about too but if we paid to join the challenge I was expecting some more updates at least, whe was posting on instagram like she normally does and there was nothing about the challenge. Sorry to say but it felt like a cash grab the way she was active about it when people were joining and then kinda gave up. Not trying to be a Karen or anything, Nancy is a great person and I love her energy, I'm sure it wasn't meant to come off the way it did. The exercises themselves were great tho, loved the videos and explanations, she knows what she is doing for sure. Will 100% do the challenge again.

I liked the workouts, but the example videos were really fast and I wish they started from a neutral position so you can watch HOW to get into correct position. I also wish there was more interaction from the creator. I understand not popping into the community every day or responding to everyone, but maybe doing a weekly check in even if it's just to make an encouraging post and maybe address 1 or 2 questions that came up a lot during the week would've been really nice. A lot of people had questions during the challenge and we had to use each other for answers, which was fine for community building, but we don't know if we're receiving correct information.

It's ok, pero un poco decepcionante

Shame that technique is written down instead of said in video, also too much sessions in a week for a beginner

Super short videos (2-3 seconds) and many of them are filmed in a way that you can’t see any details on how to place your hands etc. Text description for the exercises only in the first week, if you want to check them later on you always have to go back to this week. Also very short and lacking details like common mistakes etc. You can get much more detailed instructions for free. :-/ It all seems put together kind of halfhearted. The exercises are okay, the community was nice.

As a beginner, I initially had a lot of fun with the Calisthenics Challenge, but I felt there was a lack of structure and progression throughout. A major reason I joined was for the community, and I expected Nancy to be more active. She was present for the first week and a half, but then disappeared, only reappearing when the challenge ended. It felt a bit like she forgot about us. I understand she was busy moving to L.A. and had a lot going on, but I still wish she had been more engaged with the community throughout the challenge.

Not as beginner-friendly as advertised. Most exercises have only one regression (usually called "easier"), many don't have a video demonstration, some have no regressions at all, disregarding participants that face any type of pain or limitating condition requiring adjustments. The videos demonstrations are very short in length (some are only 2 seconds long!), and Solin doesn't loop them, making understanding the movements a frustrating task. This workout also requires you to have a pillar or column at home (no alternatives given). The "community" supposed to cheer you on along the way is a forum with no search engine, faulty notifications, and an endless scroll. Post it once, good luck finding it again. Solin was overall extremely funky to use, and it would take me minutes just to log in my progress. I do not recommend this to any true beginner to calisthenics — you might be better off with free online workouts with tons of progressions (the exercises are usually the same as those you'd find in this challenge) and a random discord server to keep you accountable. At least I know I would.
