The front desk is the sweetest, and the instructors are mostly great. I've had one who needed to be smoother with changes and cues, but all were knowledgable. This will not be traditional Pilates, but with a traditional reformer, which is much better than a megaformer. Heavier weights so you will feel the burn. Slow counts and movements. Lots in hands and knees. I think I miss the footwork the most from a traditional studio, but I'll go to those classes elsewhere. They have childcare, lockers, hair ties if needed. The studio is clean, often using props such as weights or a ball. Will def be going consistently to feel a burn.

I always expect a challenging workout when I come here. * Instructor: I loved Anna's instruction on the movements. She breaks down each movement and uses analogies that make the exercises easier to understand and execute. It's so important to activate the mind-body connection to get the most effective workout. * Music: The music kept me going--Ariana Grande and Beyoncé? Yes, please! *Parking: paid street parking available. I came on a Friday morning and I parked near the library just a 4 minute walk from the studio. * Overall: Heartcore is my favorite Megaformer class in the area.

I attended a 30 minute free intro session with instructor Kalo. Most of the time was spent getting…read moreacquainted with the reformer and doing some simple exercises to get a taste of what Pilates is like. The room was a bit stuffy and dark when I was there. Kalo did a fine job, I certainly got what I had come for (an introduction to Pilates) but unfortunately I felt motion sick using the reformer and didn't learn until after the lesson that this is not uncommon. The building is currently under renovation, so the entrance is rather hard to find. I would recommend arriving early to find the entrance and restrooms. They have a cute selection of socks at the entrance, though most of the socks are size small, with more limited medium/large options.

Environment is cramped. I am an avid corepower yoga fan. I usually go four times a week and instructors are always kind, uplifting, and excited to be there. I wanted to switch things up a bit and try pilates, so I decided with starting the intro class. Instructor lacked clarity, energy, and enthusiasm. She was also rude. She walked over to my reformer, took a look at my form, and said, "Okay I don't know what your doing." Then she walked away. Provided no constructive criticism on what I was doing wrong. Other times when she came to my reformer, she would not provide verbal instructions, instead would adjust my legs or arms. Could not learn well. Her feedback felt discouraging.i also did not feel like i burned a slither of a calorie. Did not sweat once. Class felt like extended stretching. Left class feeling worse than i came, not energetic, and unhappy.

I tried both MPX and Solidcore. I would highly recommend taking the intro class at MPX, as the…read moreinstruction in regular classes is FAST and not extremely clear. For a beginner, the instruction at Solidcore is more careful and I got a better workout as a result-- I wasn't scrambling all over the machines like I did at the MPX studio. As a small person, I needed some variations to make the exercises work. Although the MPX class was tiny, I had to ask for these, even though the teacher could see I was struggling. I don't think I'll go back to MPX even though they promised it "would get easier" because the quality of instrution lacked for me and I lost interest.

(Barre, OTF, HIIT, etc). I love how the focus is to improve on strength for the whole body. Trust me, you will leave this class with your arms and legs shaking ! It's such a fun workout and the instructors are so friendly and knowledgeable. If you don't know what you're doing that's alright! Because the classes are small (10 slots) they'll adjust you til you feel the BURN. I highly recommend coming here !

I arrived about 10 minutes early, thinking I would get a quick tutorial but I did not. Of course I have seen pilates in videos before, but did not know the terms or how to use the reformer properly. I just went with the flow of class and what the instructor was saying. From time to time, she did come to correct me, but otherwise who knows if I was doing the moves correctly. It was overall a good class, would have been better if I was given a quick run down but that was not the case.

TL:DR - highly recommend!…read more My rocksalt journey started a little over two years ago. I've tried so many group classes (kick boxing, cycling, group power, HIIT, yoga, etc) but never stayed with any, until now! I started with one class per week and now I make time to go three times, along with my other activities. I have tried 4 other Pilates studios in the PA/MP/RWC area and rocksalt is my favorite in terms of overall quality of the workout and value. Love the vibe. The owner, Christine, is a literal rockstar, absolute best! She's so fit and strong - inspiration to us all! Her classes are energetic, challenging yet fun! She was my first class and SOLD me! I feel so good and proud of myself after each workout. Also love Ruth and Marissa but all her instructors are awesome! Studio is clean, tidy and welcoming. Christine owns both the RWC and MP I've always been average build and a healthy weight. I was active and my goals were to tone up and build strength and rocksalt did that for me! Even my critical Asian mother approves - this is huge! Couple tips for newbies: 1. There are three types of classes (all 50 minutes): stretch, strength, sweat. They all have a combo of cardio and strength, depending on the type of class, the emphasis is where it differs. For your first one, I recommend "stretch". 2. Take it easy. Each instructor will give modifications for different levels. I also love that they are very gentle and discreet when correcting your form (that was me a lot in the beginning!) Don't be discouraged if you cannot do everything. 3. Pay attention to the instructor's direction on form/placement. Eg feet under the silver footbar, don't go past the shoulders. These make a huge difference. 4. Give it at least 3 classes. After my first class, I was super sore! I felt so challenged. But I persevered and so glad I did! (after 2 months, even my friends complimented that I was more toned) 5. Come early for your first class so the instructor can show you the basics. Pilates reformer classes are one of the best investments I've made for my health. I also truly enjoy the classes and being inspired by others (ladies much older than me in better shape and way stronger!). Hope this was helpful!
