My new obsession --- Solidcore kicks my butt every time, and I keep signing up for more…read more I'd always been kind of terrified of pilates classes that utilize the reformer, but a friend finally convinced me to try a class at Solidcore. They do offer both beginner "Intro" and intermediate "Foundations" classes, but on a very limited schedule. I took a Foundations class, which was a very helpful introduction to the machine with more individualized attention since the class size was smaller. I then skipped a few weeks because the foundations classes didn't align with my schedule as I was convinced I needed to do a few of them before the "big girl" signature classes. However, eventually that same friend convinced me to take the plunge, and I've been going 1-2 times per week ever since. Solidcore Signature 50 Classes involve 50 minutes of slow-burn strength training utilizing resistance from springs on the reformer. There is always attention to your core/obliques (lots of planking!) and then they feature one upper body and one lower body muscle group each class. The goal is to trigger second-degree muscle failure, where you've pushed your muscles to the point that they are shaking and you eventually physically can't complete another rep. Since that "failure" is part of the goal, it normalizes the need to take a break, shake-out, and reset, which I appreciate, but the instructors also encourage you to push for that next rep when you're not sure you can. I'm definitely sore the next day, but in a good way! The schedule for signature classes is super flexible, with offerings starting at 5a and extending almost hourly until 10p with a rotating cast of instructors. They're not the cheapest, but it's also a workout unlike any other and they do offer discounts for teachers and health care workers. The subscription also allows you to bring a friend for free once per month! If you're on the fence about trying it --- just do it. It is going to be a challenge in the best way.

My skin is glowing But for years going to the gym has become a chore, now I can't wait to get here! What a great feeling that is! There is so many classes to choose from ! I'm doing yoga, I'm doing ISO work, I'm doing core work, we work with all the different bands, and for cardio they have cycling saunas and rowing and a seated elliptical. They also have in the back of the gym dumbbells and kettlebells and stability balls so you can really do everything that you need to do right here! Plus this place is open 24/7 and the classes are always running so there's no excuse! I feel the soreness I used to get from other classes has lessened because of the heat, don't get me wrong you can feel that you worked your muscles, but you're not in agony! At least that's been my experience so far!

I highly recommend buying all the equipment you could possibly need so that you don't have to worry about renting it or buying it later on. There are videos to follow when you exercise in the mini-hot studio, but you can pace yourself. The staff are really nice when they are available. I wish there were more community events to try to get local gym members to interact with each other more but otherwise this is a nice option to have for a gym. Need to make more time for it.

The space is clean and bright and Zina is very welcoming, as are most of the teachers. I would say that compared to the other circus studios I've practiced at, this is geared more towards beginners. If you're used to climbing 12' in the air and doing drops, these classes may seem a little easy, but if you're just getting into fitness or if you have mobility issues, Zina can help you find a class that suits your needs. I especially recommend the bungee classes. They are super fun and an intense cardio workout. It takes a few classes for the harness to feel less pinchy, so stick with it.
