One of the best studios in LA! The instructors are so motivating and push you to your limits in the best way possible. The themed classes are always fun too. My faves are the pop punk and EDM ones!
The afternoon and evening classes usually aren't too full which is nice. Validated parking, lockers, and earplugs are provided.

Was a fast pace class, but the instructor was amazing! Kalena comes over to correct me here and there to make sure I’m utilizing the right muscle! Was challenging but fun!!!

Amazing class!

The temperature in the room was too hot and there was no air. I started feeling unwell towards the end of class because of it. I’m undecided if I’ll return to this location. Thanks!

Amazing instructor! Great workout sequence too! I’m so sore in all the right places. FIRE playlists!
The coach was great! I thought she was so one point. The only reason for 4 stars is the studio! The door code thing was so annoying I never got email with code luckily someone open it. Then the handle bars on the machine are so insanely stiff it hurts to you weight into them. Also, I was so confused when and where to check in. None of this reflection of the teacher just would be nice if there was front desk person or something to help the teacher. For how much marketing I see of solid core online with influencers that I know they are paying a bunch for they should have a little bit more service in the studio. - I have always thought it was weird how the spring load depend on how many class you have been to. Which is great if you never ever done this kinda thing but….. like if go to similar studios you might be under 50 class but could still handle the some spring loads just saying.

neyla is an incredibly kind and patient instructor. she makes everyone feel special, and she has a warm heart. i highly recommend a class with her <3
Favorite solidcore instructor 🥹 I’ve tried a few and they’re all good but Kelly made me feel like I could do it and made it a lot more supported, which I need given I’m literally dying lol
I've been taking Caitlin's classes at Solidcore for over 2 years, and she is the reason I've stayed consistent. The Sweatlana machine was intimidating at first, but Caitlin makes everything feel approachable -- even when your legs are shaking.
She's exceptional with beginners, explains movements clearly, and somehow manages to motivate you and helps correct your form at the same time. My physique and posture have noticeably improved under her instruction, and I always leave class feeling stronger and supported.
I've tried other trainers, but no one brings the same combination of energy, clarity, and genuine care that Caitlin does. If you're considering Solidcore, start with her and stick with her-- she's truly in a league of her own.
(Caitlin deserves more than 5!)

Instructor was amazing and sweet and helpful and really went out of her way to adjust dorm. I really appreciate it - I am so intimidated by solidcore but she made it feel doable 🙏 only complaint is: door code doesn’t work. I was 2 min late and was worried I couldn’t take the class because no one heard me banging on the door initially. For something that important, they need to make sure we have the updated code on time each month.
One of the BEST workout classes I’ve ever taken & Kelly was an amazing instructor & made the class really fun! Definitely going to be sore tomorrow & will definitely be coming back for more classes here!
Warm and very helpful instructor!!! Will definitely be back for his class. Thanks, Oliver!!
The things he had me do with my body!!! Felt good but I’m sure I will hurt tomorrow! Great class!
Jade is a great teacher! I love that she demonstrates everything. Also appreciated her guidance as a new student. Thanks, Jade!!
I enjoy solidcore for what it is but I find it unbearably loud and difficult to understand instruction, wish they offered “quiet” classes. Today the instructor moved my foot that was bearing weight on the carriage and nearly made me lose my balance during class.
it’s true what everyone says solidcore is amazing
great workout but honestly too much talking i couldn’t even concentrate on the workout
This combo class was everything I needed. I loved both the instructors separately but together? I got my butt whooped to some fire music lol
10/10. Tensaye is a great instructor!!! This was my first class and I appreciated how she demonstrated movements. I feel ready to take my second Solidcore class. Also, I loved her playlist!
Amanda is such an attentive instructor and explained each move the best I have ever heard! I will be looking for Amanda on the schedule!! 🙌🏼
Don't know how you can't love solidcore. We took a class at this location and it may have been one of the best classes I've taken across all locations. Ash put us through it and was such a great teacher. Would highly recommend this location if Ash is teaching! Cheers!
As a first time student, I was already super intimidated but I need to highlight how excellent & patient Neyla was with us! Our class was on a Friday afternoon but surprisingly a very small class so Neyla was able to focus & correct everyone throughout, especially us newbies. She was on top of it & made me an instant pilates fan afterwards. The studio itself is very clean & spacious too.
We booked the Signature50: Full Body through classpass but their [solidcore] app also makes it super convenient to book directly. They have an attached parking structure in the building & validate for students. Will definitely be booking more classes here again!

I was traveling and took a class here. It's a nice space, much bigger than my home studio in DC but the room was oddly shaped. I ended up with the one machine where the wall is at a slant and there isn't enough space for incline pushups on the grey platform. Other than that, it's a good studio, good coach.
Finally tried Solidcore this year to restart a fitness routine and this studio has been great. I tried a few of the starter classes to learn the equipment and exercises and all of the instructors were encouraging and helpful. Location has street parking (metered during the day) and validated garage parking for 75 minutes. I like that their schedule has late classes and more afternoon options on the weekends. I always feel like I get a good workout and definitely have gotten stronger in just a few months. Highly recommend if you're looking for a strength building workout and like Pilates!

My friend and I did a Full Body class for the first time. We never done Pilates before and I can’t say this class was easy, but our instructor Tensaye was amazing and really made the difference. The class is pretty fast paced, but she was always around checking in, adjusting us and helping us transition from one exercise to the next. She’s amazing and we’ll definitely be going back.

My first pilates class ever and by mistake I went to a regular class (instead of beginner). It was amazing, I’m def coming back, the instructor was super sweet and helped me a lot.
Just took my first class here. Rough start. I got here 9 min early and someone was stuck at the door. The code wasn't working. I tried my code, no luck. Then another student showed up and tried calling. Nobody picked up. We knocked a bunch of times. Nothing. Then after baking outside in the sun for 10 min another student started banging on the door so hard I thought the door would break. A receptionist finally opened the door and gave me a hard time even though I never touched the door. She said "When you press the code too many times it wont work" whatever that means. The code was not working we all tried it. The class itself seemed very similar to the Lagree class I recently took. This one seemed a lot easier as far as intensity. Otherwise some of the exercises seemed identical. This studio is super dark for some reason. I personally prefer a bit more light but no big deal. The music was pretty loud, the instructor's mic was a bit muffled and clipping at times and fighting the frequencies the music was on. Slightly challenging to hear her nonstop instructions. She talked nonstop the entire class. Felt like a bit too much to me. It was sweet of her to apologize after class for the door code issue. She apologized on the mic and to us individually as well. Overall a clean studio, good equipment, solid workout. Can't go wrong. To be honest I tried this particular studio cause it's right next door to a good coffee shop, so it's convenient to grab a cold drink after class. But honestly there's another studio I liked much better, not gonna mention the name. So I probably won't be back here but try it out for yourself you might love it.
I love this solidcore location! It's pretty easy to get into the classes I want and the instructors are really friendly. They also offer hands-on correction which I appreciate. I wasn't sure what to expect because it's a chain, but was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and warm the staff is. I've taken 5 classes here now and will continue to attend at least 1x/week.
There's also a parking garage located in the same building as the studio and they offer validation which is huge.
As for the workout, solidcore is basically a mix of megaformer resistance training/cable training, light dumbbells, and Lagree. It is a fantastic workout and I'm sore every time. There's no shame in taking breaks and my form has improved a lot since I began. I do have a solid background in mat pilates and was familiar with reformer and Lagree, which definitely helped being new to solidcore. I recommend taking 1-2 of the starter 50 classes, especially if you're completely new to any form of pilates. That said, instructors offer modifications if you're new and the cable load is lighter for 0-25 classes.
TLDR: this is my favorite workout. Instructors are great, parking garage with validation is a plus. Recommend experience with Pilates or taking a Starter 50 class before a regular class. I also saw changes in my body pretty quickly.

NEVER HAVE I EVER BEEN SO FCKN HUMBLED BY A WORK OUT CLASS
pros:
Validated parking
Parking structure
Great playlist
New reformers
Very supportive and helpful instructors
Cons:
Hard to find as there are no signs on the building
Validation is supposed to be for 75 minutes and I still had to pay even though I was there under 75 minutes so that's more of a parking issue and not a class issue
Not beginner, friendly - this was my first time at solid core but my second overall Pilates class. This is a great workout, but I was fucking dying the entire time lol the last issue I have with this class is the microphone the instructor using sometimes muffled her words which made it hard to understand her direction, but other than that this was a great class, I will be back after I build up my endurance and fitness level. Lol

I've taken a few lagree classes but dang SolidCore kicked my butt and I was sore for days.
I took a class with Sue and she was so nice! Loved her energy and her K-POP playlist was fire!! I'm excited to sign up for more classes

I've gone to the other Solidcore locations in LA and this one is one of my favorites! Kriz was the coach and did a fantastic job pushing me to my limits! I left feeling AMAZING (like a runners high) and will definitely be back. Such good bang for your buck- 50min workout that is equivalent to a 2 hour workout
Nice, clean studio in the new West Edge building. Parking is validated for 75 minutes, which is a perfect amount of time given that classes are 50 minutes long.
My girlfriends workout here often and I've done close to 10 classes I believe. Amazing workout and even more amazing instructors! The energy is beyond amazing and the empowerment while getting through this hard workout is what all workout classes should be like. 10/10 recommend.
I just did pilates for my first tim at the WeHo location. Caitlin was so great, and encouraging. Josh was also amazing I really appreciated his kindness and warmth! Definitely gotta come back soon.

My first time was 2 weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE this place so far. The workout and instructors are amazing and parking at the Ava apartment complex is validated. They just earned their newest member! ☺️🙌🏾

Brand new studio! Super clean, new machines, and great staff and instructors. Also there is validated parking in the garage next door - bring your ticket and solidcore will validate it for 75 minutes

Jacob was absolutely amazing! The experience as a first timer was incredibly welcoming. Jacob was energetic, friendly, and took time to thoroughly explain the machine and workout prior to class. The class itself was a challenging workout, but Jacob still managed to make it fun!
