I did both beginner classes here and solidcore and found that while I got a little burn/soreness the day after, District Pilates felt more like a stretch Pilates class. Solidcore was harder and I really felt I was working my entire body - wish they had followed up after my 3 day promo was up Overall a good starting point and would recommend for starting out.

I've now been to 8 sessions to the Georgetown location. I suffered a herniated disc in my lumbar…read morespine which made normal activities unbearable. I chose to begin pilates as a way to strengthen my core muscles and get back to normal. Emily is an excellent instructor. She tailors the sessions based on one's condition and needs. Her attention to detail is incredible. During any instructed exercise, she pays attention to every body angle and muscle group activity. She continues to instruct the correct posture and muscle engagement to gain the optimum result from that exercise. I've found my sessions with her very productive. I'm feeling much better now and anticipate to build up a routine that will maintain my good health and core muscle strength in a short while.

I love this location. Validated parking in DC is always a win. I really like the instructors who…read moreprovide hands-on corrections unless you prefer not to receive them, who will challenge you and motivate you. I've been complementing my gym workouts with solidcore and has been great for core strengthening but there are daily muscle focuses that are tough too. Membership isn't cheap but I've found having a not-so-committed membership (4x per month) in addition to classpass (for flexibility of either doing solidcore or something else) is a good pace for me. Edit: after reading some reviews, I wanted to say in the classes I've been to, there have been heightened attention from instructors to ensure people have correct form. If you don't, you may get injured. That's with any sport or workout. Also, if you're new, look around to see if you're doing it wrong. Hell, 50+ classes in and I still look around sometimes. Lastly, nearly all the exercises are slow movements. Unless the instructor explicitly says to go fast on army crawls or up downs, you aren't trying to break the record for most reps. Some classes, I've seen people breeze through. First, you're likely not getting a workout and second, you're increasing risk of injury.

I've been coming to Solidcore consistently for the past 7 months, and it's hands down the most…read moreeffective workout I've ever done. I've always been active and played sports growing up, but I struggled to find something that kept me motivated as an adult. Solidcore changed that. With no major lifestyle changes (I work a desk job, eat decently, commute mostly on foot/via transit and still drink most weeks), I've seen a huge transformation in my body. I am probably the most fit I have ever been. The coaches are great - Sam is the best, but you can't go wrong taking a class with Alethea, Sofia or Mary Kate. The vibe is always supportive but challenging, and I actually look forward to going. I also really appreciate how receptive the team is to feedback. On the rare occasion something's come up, they've been quick to address it and super responsive. No substantive complaints about the studio itself - especially considering it's one of Solidcore's lower membership tier locations. It's technically in NW DC, but it's billed at the Maryland tier, which makes it a way better deal than the other DC studios with more expensive memberships. The only thing I'll note is that this location doesn't have a live phone line, which can make it tough to get ahold of someone quickly if something comes up. Not enough to deduct a star, but I do wish they'd fix that. If I had one suggestion for the company overall, it would be to remove cancellation fees and shorten the cancellation window. Life happens, and a little more flexibility would go a long way for members. In short; If you're looking for a fun workout that will push you and actually deliver results, this is it. I even brought my 55+ year-old dad to a class and he loved it. Highly recommend.

Potomac Pilates is my favorite addiction. I started doing Pilates last January (2014) because yoga…read morejust wasn't cutting it. I immediately fell in love with Potomac Pilates and their teachers. I would go every single day if I could! The instructors are knowledgeable, welcoming, and give you a GREAT work out at low impact. It's the first time in a long time that I actually get excited and look forward to working out!!! I would shout out my favorite teachers but I would basically be listing the entire Potomac Pilates staff! Over the past 9 months I've lost 11 pounds and the only thing I've been doing differently is Pilates, so I'm proof, it really works!!! I was concerned my new job would get in the way of my Pilates schedule but because they have early morning and late evening classes I am still able to squeeze a class in before or after work which I'm so grateful for. It's the perfect way to start or end my day, Potomac Pilates is my happy place. I love Potomac Pilates! Definitely worth the cost.

This studio is an absolute joke…read more If you actually want a legitimate Pilates workout I would highly recommend taking your time, bandwidth, and $50 (if you factor the class and transportation/parking) elsewhere. There's zero value unless you're a senior citizen and want to stretch for an hour with a instructor who just likes to hear herself talk. There's NO workout experience and the so called workout is like going to a intro class for a stretch session on a reformer with an instructor who has zero regard for you wanting to sweat or actually do work. Not to mention there's zero front desk, no reply to communication, and worst of the there isn't the slightest bit of a welcoming environment. Location is also poor and hidden. If you have a strong background in Pilates, be it: reformer, mat, even lagree, you will leave frustrated. I've taken classes in major cities that do not even have the slightest bit of entitlement that I experienced from the rude instructor 'lead trainer' here. What a shame.

I took my first beginner yoga class at Past Tense late last year, and it was the best decision I've…read moremade for physical and mental health. I enjoy the studio's welcoming atmosphere and quality instructors, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a yoga studio. First, their Beginner Yoga classes are excellent for both new and seasoned practitioners; the instructors teach and correct form as needed. I still attend beginner classes because I enjoy the slower pace and focus on instruction and form. I prefer slower/intentional-paced yet still challenging classes, so I go to Slow Flow classes. Slow Flow has been my favorite class at Past Tense so far. Highly recommend trying Slow Flow if you enjoy feeling your muscles/body working. As for other reviewers complaining about being locked out of classes for being late, I've never experienced that because I'm usually so eager to take a class that I show up early! The studio makes it very clear that late attendees will not be admitted. If you're someone who struggles to show up on time to places/events/work, showing up to yoga classes early so you won't get locked out is a wonderful opportunity for self-improvement--my two cents.

Management reached out to me personally after my review and took time to we meet and discuss the issues noted. That week OneLife had already announced & added several classes requested by Crunch alumni, retrofitting them into time-slots that helped reduce overcrowding in the original schedule. The two weeks following, even more classes were added. OneLife also brought over some of the former Crunch instructors which helped several of us with the transition. Fair to say that we're still adapting and hoping that there's more to come, but I wanted to make a call out to the management for coming through on these additions!

They didn't even send me an email. They pulled almost four hundred dollars out of my account without talking to me. I worked out my entire life, and Onelife fitness has unequivocally done more damage to my motivation than any gym I've ever stepped foot into since elementary school. P.S.
