I have been going to Heartcore on and off for over 6 months, and I've enjoyed every class I've…read moretaken so far! I appreciate the Off Peak class pricing in this economy, and I tend to book those classes since they're cheaper. These classes are often taught by Krystal and Sunny, and they've quickly become my favorites! They're so patient with newer members. I don't like being touched by instructors during my workouts when they're trying to correct my form, and Krystal+Sunny are able to tell me verbally how to correct my form without touching me. I get a great workout and I'm noticing results - my biceps are getting more muscular as I've become more consistent in the last two months!

I can't say enough good things about Heartcore. Due to my background in traditional Pilates, I've…read morenever been a fan of megaformer studios, where I've often found an inordinate emphasis on larger muscles, making it harder for newer students to engage the core. But the slow speed of Heartcore classes forces each and every student to channel into the core, regardless of level. Additional challenge is always available for the more advanced student, and every instructor has infinite patience for the novice who needs an easier variation. Each and every instructor is extremely well-trained, as well as kind and encouraging. I've never had two sessions even remotely the same, and it's obvious that there is a good deal of thought behind the flow and series of exercises in each class. And the classes always make me work so hard!! I feel it for days after, in the most gratifying way! A special shout out to Alisa ... I was quite demoralized after my second class, but she graciously gave me one-on-one time to take me through the fundamentals. I'm so thankful to her!

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.

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.
