Mahie was so kind and attentive! This was my first Signature50 after taking a few Starter50s. The class flew by and she helped me maintain my form throughout, especially on some of the newer moves I had not tried yet. I would definitely book her class again!

Best reformer class I've ever taken anywhere in the world! Instructor was super encouraging, gave options for folks at levels, and did an amazing job of cueing.

Maanasa is amazing!! I wish she taught more at SLU :)
Nate was the best I could’ve asked for for a first class - well informed, non-judgmental, patient, kind, and attentive. I definitely recommend his classes to anyone looking to get a solid workout with an encouraging guide!

Incredible instructor!!
Anna was the perfect coach for my first solidcore class! She brought great energy, was super encouraging, and helped me with form throughout the workout. Her personable approach made the experience memorable, and I definitely got the killer workout I was looking for. Can’t wait to take another class with her!

The most challenging intro class BUUUUUT Joe is so helpful and funny! Love his classes!

Great instructor! Great energy!
This was a great class, lots of inner thigh which is a muscle group I feel is not targeted enough in these classes. Thank you Nate for giving me Jello legs :)

Luis is my fave solidcore instructor I’ve had so far!! So encouraging and gives a lot of individual attention. Just a gem - and ran a great/hard class!!!!
Zoey class was amazing! I just started taking Solid Core classes and Zoey’s hand on adjustments along with offering modifications for all exercises made my time great. Will definitely go again!

Nate is my favorite! 10/10 highly recommend ✨

I came back to working out regularly after several years of starts and stops. I took the beginner class to acclimate myself to the fast pace and machine and now I’m addicted! It’s an effective workout for me that focuses on building strength and stamina which is so important for healthspan. I enjoy all of the instructors and get a lot out of their individual approaches. I can feel and see a big difference in my body after 30 classes. I started out with twice a week, then moved up to 3x, now starting 4x a week on the committed+ plan which I can also use in other solidcore locations when I travel. Love this location and this approach.

I love Zoey!!
I’ve taken a lot of Solidcore classes, and Drew’s class is the perfect mix of challenging, motivating, and fun. He pushes you in the best way — the burn is real, but his energy makes you want to keep going. He’s funny without being distracting, and somehow cracks jokes right when you need them the most. If you want a class that will kick your butt and make you smile through it — book Drew. You’ll hate him during the pulses and thank him afterwards. 💙💪

I love Jiyun’s classes! Her music and energy is my fave, and her classes are really challenging.
Focus50: Core + Obliques + Lower Body
I tried skipping the review three times but the system wouldn’t let me. I went to Matty’s class. I didn’t have a great experience because he talks so fast that I had no clue what was going on, though I was able to follow the people next to me. Was overall still a great workout.

I originally bought a new customer four-class pack to try out this workout because I had heard pilates-type workouts are good for hypermobility. I discovered that to be true and got so much more out of it! As a slightly chubby and not-all-that-fit newbie, I have found the coaches for the Starter50 classes to be friendly, kind, and helpful. They are great about explaining the machine, modifications, and correcting form. I am visibly trans and queer and I was never treated any differently. Genuinely, I have never had better coaches for an exercise class. Even better, the workout has been quite effective in tandem with the dietary changes I had already made. After just four classes over three weeks, I am already noticing my strength increase and my body composition changing. I really enjoy the challenge of the classes and the endorphins afterward are unmatched. I am hooked!

Michelle was so kind and made class so comfortable and accommodating. Would highly recommend taking a class with her!
Coach Francis was super helpful, giving clear instructions and offering thoughtful posture corrections. The music and atmosphere in the studio were lovely. It was a great workout—I definitely got my sweat’s worth!

This was my very first Pilates class and Lily was amazing! It was extremely challenging but she kept the inspiration and momentum going. I can’t wait to come back

Awesome olacee coach was amazing
this class was incredible I laughed I almost cried in a good way I was always really scared of Pilates with the reformer but I felt empowered. I will absolutely be returning to this class
Starter50: Intro To [solidcore]
Coach Nate was incredible. Loved his vibe. His voice. His cues. His playlist. All of it. Will for sure be back for more of his classes!!
Michelle is a great instructor. The studio doesn't have any changing rooms and the lockers are facing a heavily trafficked street with no window coverings. If you need to change you have to go in the bathroom. The whole situation is a little uncomfortable.
Starter50: Intro To [solidcore]
Wow! She was so kind and helpful while teaching a class of newbies! Loved it, and I personally hate working out.

Loved this class with Mahie so much! It was my first time at Solidcore and she was so welcoming and encouraging, and even took the time to answer my questions after class!
Solidcore always kicks my butt!
This location is perfect, it's so close to my work I can fit a workout in, in between meetings! :)
The studio is super clean as always, the staff are super nice and I loved Kenna as my instructor!

Lily was so clear and very encouraging. She provided great insight for adjustments, using verbal cues and hands on adjustments. She also knew when to give space when students needed a break.
Lily was great! So positive, helpful, encouraging, and knew when to just allow a shake break and when to motivate to push harder and grow. She’s very in tune with her students!
It was easy to understand Michelle unlike other classes I've taken where the instructor is super breathy. I enjoyed this class and found it pretty challenging. Would love to build up my strength to improve!
Viv is an amazing instructor! Great energy, music, and helpful corrections! Crazy good workout, my abs are burning

My current addiction! Challenging workout with fabulous instructors. There’s always a way to make the workout more challenging so you won’t get bored.
Starter50 is a great way to understand solid core’s machine and program. Olivia did a great job of thoroughly explaining the exercises and the “why” behind them. I would recommend her class to anyone who is interested in Solidcore and wants to ease into practicing!

Her instructions are very clear and flow well. She also always has the best music.
Trahas is an amazing coach.
Janelle is an amazing coach who’s great at meeting the class where they are! She’s super supportive and leads the class with lots of variations for everyone :)
Trahas is an amazing coach! She tailors the class for each student perfectly. Always the best workout no matter if it’s your 1st class or your 100th class. Thank you!
tough programming but motivating vibes, nice hands-on adjustments and excellent cueing
Kate was an awesome coach. Super fun and personable. She made it seem like she was right there to support all of us through every move. The class was pretty full and she managed it flawlessly. She was subbing and normally teaches at other locations, 10/10 recommend finding her at other studios. ✨

love love love this location. Solidcore is challenging in all the right ways. Literally had me down 4 pounds after my 2 week trial. Gerard is my favorite although i have never had a negative experience with any coach there.
I've been to this solidcore location a handful of times and almost always had a great experience. In one instance, it was my own bad...I had some health problems and shouldn't have signed up for such an intense workout. On the rest of the times I've visited, I've had a tough, fun, challenging workout. I will say that the instructors are sometimes a little hard to understand if they don't enunciate and/or if the music is really competing with their microphones.
First time! It was rough but I had a good workout! I took the foundations class and even then I thought it was a bit fast pace for me but I was a beginner and just starting out. You can go at your own pace so there is no pressure to keep up so I was able to take a break when I really needed to. The instructor was very nice and helped to correct my form if I was doing it wrong and helped to explain the equipment and its settings before the class started. I was sore the next day so I know I worked hard and it was fun too!

Highly addictive workouts & motivating coaches. What more could you need Don’t let the sticker shock hold you back. We all spend so much money on food/ alcohol that harms our bodies, spending a small fraction of that to support our personal health is a great trade off. Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself
Had my first solidcore class today and it was amazing! Cheyenne was a great instructor and was extremely helpful with correcting form and technique. Loved the vibe in there -- I've been to plenty of Pilates and lagree studios and this one is definitely the best! With the neon lights and great R&B/Hip-hop playlists. Will definitely be coming back.
Wow, what an insanely good and intense workout. I do a lot of strength training, pilates, barre, hiit, and swimming, and this was probably the best workout I've done. It's definitely my preference over Orange Theory. But, as a note, it requires a lot of balance and doesn't have traditional cardio (although my heart rate hit 170).

Michaels the best ! Great workout, clean facility, 10/10
Nicole Buggy
Waking up early for a Monday 5am class is tough. But Michael made it so worth it! If waking up early is tough for you and Mondays even more so, starting your work week with Michael’s Monday 5am class is a great way to kick things off! His humor, music, and overall presence made the experience so much fun. If you’re thinking about trying it, this is your sign to just do it! You won’t regret it!

Great coaches! Tough workouts but pretty addictive. Really love this place and so glad I joined. Does wonders for mental health
My daughter and I went here twice on our Seattle trip.
The first day, the instructor was upbeat, helpful, friendly. He was nonstop demonstrating movements, walking around, correcting our form. I couldn't slack because he was paying serious attention to everyone.
Facilities were clean.
Class was fun.
Second class was good but not as challenging or fun. It wasn't bad, just not as fun as the first class.
i deducted one star for Solidcore's annoying door code system. The first day, the instructor was iin the lobby area and let us in. He explained the check-in system, door code, etc.
The second day, the door code didn't work, and there was no one visible to let us in. We didn't wait too long; so it wasn't a big deal. just very annoying.
(I couldn't get into the Fidi solidcore in New York because of the stupid door code either so this seems to be a common occurrence. And before you say it's user error, there was another girl there with us who also couldn't unlock the door Lol)
I understand the doors are locked for security. it would be nice if they at least installed a doorbell.

I have been going to classes for a little over a month now, and could not recommend solidcore more!! I have seen massive improvements in my physical strength, especially in my core and lower body (much more than any workout classes I have tried before!). The workouts are fun and interesting with great coaches and music, making it easy to get up and go workout. Thank you solidcore team!!
Fun, hard class with instructors that are a good balance of encouraging and challenging. Always clean. If you get sweaty, bring a towel
My girlfriend and I are always looking for a way to workout together and [Solidcore] has been our spot.
We can be next to each other and hype each other up, the blue lights are so aesthetic and we leave SO SWEATY!
You can also feel the coaches actually care. With hands on corrections and shouting out your accomplishments by name, it feels good to work hard!

Hands down the best workout and worth every penny. It's the hardest and most effective workout I've ever done! Glad I went to more than one class to truly get an idea of the workout, all the coaches and the results. I will never leave!
Workout you love to hate! every minute well spent!! The class will make you shake like no where else! I do CrossFit for workout and I use Solidcore to cross train my small stabilizing muscles that I don't really get to train them. And the class is fun as the coaches are so motivating!
Decided to try Solidcore while I was visiting Seattle. Yesterday I took a class with Zahra and this morning I took a class with Camille. Really loved the workout and both instructors were great! The location is also super convenient if you're in the city. Only problem was that they don't have any towels and I was a sweaty mess.
