I loved the way Helen balanced an intense workout with intentional instruction on how to do each movement and showing the correct form to minimize injuries. It was a great refresher on reviewing each movement while making it a great workout session!
It's so challenging and so good. Love Jessica, she is so professional, kind, and beautiful. I get so inspired when I come to her class❤️

Jessica was great. Very passionate about what she does. This was my first time taking a Pilates class, and she helped me every step of the way. Highly recommend taking a class of hers.

Super encouraging and a great instructor, she’ll help you get settled easily and is very kind.
Jessica, instructor, and the class were both amazing!! It was a tough, challenging, yet fun class. I'll be back, thank you!!
Great first class! Teacher explained machine & what movements are working what muscles. Did legs, chest & obliques. Plenty of modifications if needed. Definitely recommend and I will be taking another intro before continuing

It’s been about three days since I went to a foundation class. My right glute is still hurting. As are my inner thighs and obliques. I feel like Reston can be a bit pretentious and was a bit apprehensive about taking a class. I’m visiting from Japan so I wanted to take a class just for a fun experience and did it anyway. I didn’t look like anyone in the class. I’m fat and black. Note these aren’t derogatory descriptors just adjectives that describe my race and size. It made not one difference. Jessica (and the studio staff) were welcoming. Jessica’s cues were timely and when I needed motivation she provided it in a way that didn’t single me out. She was right there to give or store the stabilizer if I needed it and provided attention to everyone in the class. I highly recommend the studio if you too are hung up on similar or other adjectives you think might impact your class. I wasn’t able to access the app. I kept receiving an error. Since I signed up through ClassPass, I knew to arrive early and signed my liability waiver that way.at first I was like maybe that negates a star but that feels more like a brand issue more than this specific studio.
I felt welcomed!! Cues and words of encouragement were right on time. Highly recommend.

Amazing workout! They were welcoming and the instructor gave great cues and helped make me comfortable for my first class.

The coaches are encouraging and I like how they prompt us. They also assist along the way.
Jessica is amazing. Patient with beginners and kept everyone on pace.
So supportive and fun! Thank you!
Soad had great energy and great music!!

I’ve tried countless of workout classes, routines, programs, etc. Solidcore is the one form of workout or class that I have stuck with. Every class I go to is a little different based on the muscle group and instructor but still so beneficial and challenging in the best way. I feel stronger every day and I feel encouraged by all the coaches. Shoutout Coach Jessica!
Liz Navin
Solidcore is the best workout and an amazing way to tone and build muscle. Reston is a great studio!
Diana is great! she gave lots of corrections to form and was on top of everything for the class. she paid extra attention / helped me with my springs and bars as it was my first class, which was super helpful. the class itself was extremely challenging. if you don't have strong core muscles, would highly recommend a foundational class first. solidcore is much more intense than pilates!!
Helen was amazing. She helped the new comers get acquainted and comfortable very quickly. She remembers all names, gives detailed instructions, corrects your form, motivates you and encourages interaction in class. Looking forward to more sessions to buildup my strength.
Jessica is an amazing instructor. The front desk girl was alsonsuper helpful. last time she helped me with phone change when I urgently need to make it reopen to call Lyft to work. I will definitely come back
Outstanding customer service. I had an issue with my membership and it was corrected in three days!!! Amazing. The workout is the hardest. It's only 50 minutes of 100% of what you are capable of. Not a proper warm up, just straight into the madness of small movements under blue lights and loud music.

This is my second time doing a solidcore workout and let me tell you...it is not easy!! I love trying out workouts, so I signed up with friends via Classpass. The class was at 8:15pm on a Friday; we did the Signature50: Full Body, which I believe was a more advanced class. Although it was a good workout, it was hard. The instructor was nice and guided people as needed. The music was great and on point, but we couldn't hear her over the loud music. Also, she had us move to the middle reformer machines, I would have felt more comfortable at the end. This is truly a great workout and targets muscles with smaller movements that compound workouts miss. Upon signing up for the class, an email and text message are sent with information, including the code to enter. They also mention that there are charges if canceling or no-showing. They have solidcore merchandise available for purchase with the card on file. They also provide items such as hair ties, bobby pins, hear buds (if the music is too loud), etc. The customer service is average, there was one person at the front and she wasn't very engaging. The business is located on the lower level of a larger building. There is free parking in front of and around the business. There is also a parking garage with some free parking (check the signs!). Would I return? absolutely.

My favorite solidcore I’ve ever been to! And I’ve been a member of studios in NYC, Chicago, and Boston. The community is unmatched and the instructors are the best.
Aviva Martin
Such a good solidcore! I tried nearly all the teachers and my favorite are Kelly and Melissa! Shaye has really great tropical house EDM music. It feels so good to come, I swear I lost 10 pounds and got stronger than I ever expected thanks to this place 🫶🥰
Jerry Allen
Great friendly coaches, and very knowledgeable. I enjoy all the attention and personal training insights. I have lost 37 lbs.
Anna Braner
I love the welcoming and inclusive environment of the Reston studio. The coaches are incredibly supportive and they motivate me to push myself to the best of my abilities. Thanks to their encouragement, I have been able to achieve my initial fitness goals and feel acknowledged every time I reach a milestone. Recently, I completed my 50th class and am excited to work towards my next goal of 100! This workout has helped me get in the best shape of my life, both physically and mentally. Shoutout to coaches LaBrea and Meredith, who inspire and motivate me every time. LaBrea was my first coach and it was because of her coaching style that I continued on the Solidcore journey. If you're looking to invest in yourself and improve your fitness, I highly recommend checking out this studio.

I've been going to solidcore (Reston most often) for over 6 months now and it's one of the best things I've ever done for myself! Coming out of the pandemic, I felt discouraged by working out alone and wanted to feel part of a fitness community. Solidcore has delivered that and so much more for me. It's an incredible workout that leaves me feeling accomplished and connected. The coaches have a unique, upbeat style that keeps you moving the entire class, while also feeling seen and supported. They talk the whole time, which I believe helps keep you in the moment and focused- I've found this really beneficial for my mental health, to have a space to be in the 'here and now'. I've seen tangible results physically and it's an amazing feeling to level up to the next spring load as you get stronger. Shoutout to coaches Mellissa, Nicole, Helen and Shelby whose classes I go to most often and always give personalized compliments at the end of class!
Catherine Floyd
Highly recommend this location! It's one of the few that offers the Beginner50 classes for newbies or folks who want a refresher. Taking two of those classes helped me prepare for a full body class. I've continued driving out to this location because every instructor has been incredible and so so helpful! Highly recommend
I just can't express enough how much I love Solidcore. It sure is hard but you see the outcome pretty fast. I saw on Google that twice a week for two weeks are enough to see the changes in your body, and it was totally right or maybe even earlier!
I've tried Solidcore in other locations through Classpass and pick this one because it is the closest to my home. It's been almost 6-7th time going to this studio. Overall I figured if the coaches are head or senior coaches, they tend to go onto more challenging forms and correct your forms which makes you hate them so much when you are on the edge of life in the middle of workout but so appreciating after the workout. For all other coaches, I would say it is decent for beginners who hasn't done Pilates at all or just started to work out because forms are less challenging and pretty easy to follow, but yes - they don't really correct your forms. I would recommend beginners to drink water in between the workouts because when I first started, I was having trouble with nauseousness and had to run to bathroom after the leg workout due to dehydration.
I had great experience so far, but I agree with some other reviewers that they need to work on ventilation. It is getting quite stuffy lately when I walk in as the weather is getting warmer, and because of the level of workout this can really make you nauseous in the middle of workout.

Best first time experience. I can only give coach Lailee 5 starts because there isn’t an option for 10 stars. She was awesome, friendly and charismatic. I recommend for anyone thinking of trying solidcore, to do so and don’t sell your self short by not scheduling with coach Lailee.
Hannah Sarradet
I have been coming to this studio about 4 times a week for 6 months now and I LOVE it. Rave reviews! Truly. The workouts can be tough but they can also be catered to your level of fitness or how intense you feel like going that day. The coaches encourage you to push yourself but to also take a break and listen to your own body. The environment is always clean and inviting. And most importantly (I think) is all the coaches here are amazing. They are constantly positive, uplifting, and very funny if I do say so myself. Coming here regularly has contributed to my quality of life. Will be renewing my membership into the foreseeable future.
Amy F
The best coaches with the best energy, and the all around best classes I have taken in the area.
Crystal X
I took a Full Body (hamstrings & biceps) class with Diana M. today and loved it! Solidcore is truly unlike any other pilates I've taken. It's such a challenging workout and I love the instruction style. It'll have you shaking from the tension during and afterwards because the instructors emphasize slow movements.
Deirdre Meaney
I commute to Reston from Arlington just to take coach Annie’s classes! She makes a hard work out enjoyable and fulfilling, always providing new ways to challenge your body and mind. She cares about each of her clients and makes sure their form is targeting the right muscle group. Be sure to take one of her classes, but only if you have previous experience with SolidCore (she is TOUGH! But a good tough!) When I’m taking classes, I have found the other coaches present during coach Annie’s workouts are very personable and have made an effort to get to know me. Reston is a true community that I love to return to when I can.
Part of me doesn't want to share how amazing this community is because it's already hard to get into classes with some of my favorite coaches. But. I forced myself to try some of the newer coaches recently (due to job schedule challenges) and I really liked them so I figured it was time to actually share the love and let my fellow Yelpers know....if you are looking for a workout unlike anything else, [Solidcore] is for you. You will get stronger both physically and mentally. And if you embrace theme classes, specialty music, this is definitely the place for you!
I go to Reston & Ashburn studios regularly & I can tell you - every class is different- every coach is different - every time you show up you get stronger. It's the best 50 minutes of my day.
There are just a few things you need to know:
- Go slow
- Understand you wont get what's going on to start. That's okay. Listen to the coaches corrections. They are there to help you.
- More about the coaches, they are there to cheer you on and encourage you. They are AMAZING.
- You are supposed to fail. Embrace it.
- Anyone (over age 16 I think) at any size can do this workout....do not be afraid to try!!!!
- For the love of GOD, slower equals stronger....so GO SLOW!
See you under the blue lights!
A very devoted Solidcore member

The coaches are so supportive and make you feel SEEN!! Thankful for Solidcore Reston!!
I've been a client here for over 3 years. Love the coaches and the workout. It's great to turn your mind off for 50 mins and focus on getting stronger!
Started coming to solidcore a little over a year ago and never looked back. The workout is intense and challenging every time, but the coaches are super encouraging. Takes a few classes to get in the swing of things so try it more than once. Def recommend!
Sarah Moore
So glad I found this place. Be warned- this workout is not for beginners! Definitely challenging but also rewarding. All coaches have a different coaching style so there is lots of opportunity to attend different classes and see who you fit the best with. Solidcore has done a good job of creating a community with amazing workouts !
kayla rose
I tried Solidcore looking for great workout without spending hours in the gym. And WOW! This is not a workout for the weak minded! It is tough & intense. The coaches were great in providing me modifications and helping me through the workout. But it’s definitely a physical and mental workout! So know when you sign up, you’re gonna sweat, your muscles are gonna scream but it is totally worth it! Also all the coaches are so nice & all have different coaching styles, so it makes every class seem so different even when the moves are mostly the same!
John Funk
Lauren Funk is an amazing instructor! She destroyed my core 💪🏼💪🏼
Linh Hoàng
I’m so happy I found this place. Every single class has been amazing. They manage to keep them always challenging. The schedule is very flexible and there are so many coaches. They also have amazing deals all the time for memberships or trials. Take advantage of those first and you’ll sure get hooked!!! I for sure am. Been taking classes 3 times a week and I felt motivated to go to the next every time. Take it from someone who didn’t work out for 2 years straight. Come and you won’t regret it!
Absolutely amazing workout, community, and coaches! 50 mins of loud music, low lights, laughs, and positive affirmations. Personally, I find it to be very cathartic.

Excellent workout, cool atmosphere, and fantastic instructors! I highly recommend this studio!
Courtney Gordon
Great workout, coaches are enthusiastic and motivating, I’ve seen results after a couple of weeks. This place is addictive, after four days my 12 class package was turned into an unlimited membership, love it here and it pairs well with other types of workouts. Finally, class times are perfect for those commuting from DC.
Sarah Golden Neto
I’ve been coming to this studio for a few months now and I’m OBSESSED! The classes are challenging but are still low impact. The instructors are amazing and the class schedule is super conducive so a busy lifestyle. Would 100% recommend!
