[solidcore] is no joke. Be prepared to suffer, cry, scream, sweat, and panic. Also be prepared to find strength you didn't know you had and leave feeling deliriously happy, relieved, and proud of what you just achieved. Each time your go, your confidence grows, along with your endurance and muscle definition. It's pretty awesome! I followed my all time favorite coach Erin S. to the Ballston location and it's actually my favorite studio to date. If you are on the fence, you should definitely give it a shot. read more

I've been going to [solidcore] for about 5 weeks now and am in love with it. Headed to my 10th class later this afternoon. I'm not a skinny mini and was worried I'd feel out of place, but I don't at all. Coaches are super welcoming and know me by name, other students are nice too, and I've gotten in way better shape thanks to the ass kicking workout of [solidcore]. Looking forward to many more shakes! read more

I am a boutique workout junkie and I love trying the newest studios of all different types of exercise. [Solidcore] is by far the hardest full body workout I have ever done. I was the sorest I have ever been and even after just two classes I feel the small muscles in my core and legs getting firmer and stronger. I will be here at least twice a week from now on! read more

I really wanted to hate [solidcore] because I did not need to add another significant workout expense to my life, but I can't help it. This is hands down the most challenging, motivating, and amazing workout/studio I have ever been to - seriously, take my money. My first class I went through the 5 stages of grief - I think I'm a pretty fit person, but I was completely humbled by 50 minutes with Mary K. and woke up the next day unable to sit up - I literally rolled out of bed. But I went back. The 2nd class was much much much better - I think you really need a few to get the hang of the machine and what you are doing. It is largely plank/lunge/squat based, and you will work your obliques in ways you never have before. I'm write this review after my 16th class, and about a month of going pretty consistently - I am stronger then I have ever been in my life and this workout has literally changed my abs, legs, and arms. The workouts are constantly changing too (the instructors change up all of the moves for each class so you may do some of the same exercises in each class but you will never ever do the exact same workout - there are SO MANY things you can do on the megareformer), so you never really plateau or stop getting that post-workout sore that many of us workout crazies love so much. All of the instructors I have been to are amazing and motivating - they know their clients and where they are at - I definitely have my favorites, and they know me well enough to really be able to push me and give me weights when I need weights or put on an extra spring when I need more tension. If you are new to working out, [solidcore] is probably not right for you yet. But if you are looking to really up your ante, give [solidcore] a try, and by that I mean, 3 or 4 classes at least - if you're at all type A like I am it will suck you in and you'll be more and more motivated to get stronger and better with each class! So much [love] for this place! read more

after reading so many awesome reviews, i really really wanted to love solidcore but i hate to say, i just don't really like it. i went with some friends to try the intro class. it was a great way to learn the lingo, learn the set ups, get used to the mega reformer, etc. i would highly recommend it for a first timer. unfortunately i had to use my $20 "first class" promo to take the session which wasn't much of a workout but i was still intrigued so i purchased another session to come back (it is a pretty expensive workout at $35/session). that being said for that price i would expect something of a higher quality. i was lost most of the time because my instructor did not set up the exercises well (i never knew if we were supposed to be in holding or moving position). he would keep saying "last" when it really wasn't the last part of the exercise so i would get out of the exercise early and we had three more sets. i was also confused because my intro instructor told me everything at solidcore is done on 4 counts but i had no counting whatsoever in my class and not told at what pace to move at. i also think for that price there should be more adjustments and corrections. there are only 10/12 people max per class so there is no reason why that can't be done. also in both of my classes the straps were uneven. again, for that price and the fact that the studio is new, i feel like the machines should be fully functional (no one wants uneven arms/legs!). with regards to the structure of the class. i wish it were spread more evenly through arms, legs, core (we had no arms in my class). our core section alone was 20-25 mins in some sort of a plank/oblique position. i think i would be better to spread the workout around to make it more effective. of course when you are in one muscle for that long you will get to failure (and super sore the next day) but there has to be a better balance so that you don't feel completely defeated to the point where you can't keep moving. i think it's great that solidcore is doing so well and expanding so fast but unfortunately the quality of instruction is just lacking in my opinion. it has so much potentional and you will most definitely get a great workout, it just needs to be a little more streamlined. read more

signed up for a few classes here (3 classes for $85) and really like how hard they worked you. i definitely felt more toned in just 2 classes. solidcore is basically pilates on steriods where you push your body against a weighted chassis. you stretch, pull, lunge, stagger, and...HOLD ON for a long time to really burn and build muscle. worth taking. i had to stop cuz it was getting too expensive for me but i'd definitely recommend if you want to quickly tone up! read more

I tried solidcore for the first time about a month ago. I'm hooked! As an aging athlete, my normal go-to methods of exercise (soccer, basketball, running, xfit) started negatively impacting my body. A trip to the physical therapist revealed some weaknesses in my slow twitch muscles. I decided to try solidcore as a way to focus on strengthening the important stuff that makes everything else work right. Man, it's a workout. I love the challenge and the automatic feeling associated with that hard work. The instructors are all unique yet equally encouraging and positive. Erin at the Ballston location is excellent and really takes the time to make sure you're getting the most out of the class. Thank you solidcore! read more

Finally ready to review Solidcore. I first tried a class during Yelp fit club and found it extremely challenging. Not one to turn away from a good work out, I bought some classes. However, I always found an excuse to cancel, and then the classes expired which is on me for wasting that money. Turn to August of this year, and I decided I was going to give it another try. I went to the intro class with Jacqueline which was a great re-introduction to the machine and some of the moves. The transitions are very quick so I defintiely recommend the intro class. I bought the 5 class pack, determined to make use of them this time, and I did. I will say that I still pretty much hated the classes at first. I'm used to HIIT so the slow, painful pace was rough for me to adjust to, but as I keep going I enjoy it more. It's still incredibly hard every time, but just being a little less awkward on the machine, and more familiar with the moves makes a big difference. Dare I say, I kind of look forward to class. I still spend a lot of time on me knees instead of my toes, but I'm able to take less breaks and I've definitely noticed a big improvement in my ability to do core work outside of Solidcore. It is very expensive, but there are only 11 people in the class and there's no other work out like it. I think it's worth it, and it's a really nice compliment to Orangetheory for anyone that goes there. I also really like the instructors. They get to know everyone, and they continually praise people by name during class. read more

My husband and I do intense work out at least 4 times a week, but pretty soon after class started we could tell why this is called SOLIDCORE. Super challenging moves, and very interesting how that machine works and serves so many purposes during class. It was hard to stand up and get balanced on top of the machine while still moving, but it was very worth it. We did find some hidden muscles that are absolutely not worked out on our regular kickboxing classes or runs. On the down side -- This was our first class and once we got to the studio there was not actually someone to assist us. The lady at the reception, who we found out later was also the instructor, was eating a sandwich and said that she would be with us soon -- honestly it was bit of a cold reception for newbies like us -- Shortly after she showed us very quickly how the machines work. She made rare eye contact with me and that made me feel somewhat left out as she did not show too much interest in helping me but helped others at all times. Classes are very intense, however, the loud music together with the instructor speaking loudly at the microphone makes it very hard to understand directions and takes away the vibe of a Pilates type of workout. It seems more that we were in a night club while trying to do some extremely hard moves. Overall it was a good experience and we will eventually go back for the second class with a different instructor who I hope will be warmer and friendlier. read more

re:wendy - I think it's inappropriate and a bad case of sour grapes to give a place 1 star because you were late, couldn't find parking, and didn't read all terms and conditions that by being late your spot could be filled. Parking - There is actually tons of parking, more than Adam's Morgan and the Mt Vernon location. Your options: a) mall $1 for 3 hours, b) street parking on Carlin Springs- One street away is permit only but two, three or four streets away is just regular metered parking c) more street parking - going west on Glebe, passing the mall on your right, there are tons of metered parking after the mall at certain hours. d) Secret metered parking lot - going west on Glebe and RIGHT after Macy's but before Wilson Blvd, there is a secret metered parking lot that looks like a loading dock. It 'belongs' to Macy's. Technically coming from Glebe this is a wrong way entrance, so just turn right on Wilson and turn into the lot right after Chipotle. But if you work out at 6 am like me, be a rebel and enter the wrong way The studio - I like this studio the best, it's very large and has large windows. The only confusing part for me is that both sides are mirrored so I'm always forgetting which side is the "front". Love the coffee machine and roomy waiting room and couch. The machines are different than DC's with more handlebars. Workout - Like the other reviews, this is an extremely challenging workout. My fav instructor here is Alex, though I wish some of the DC regulars would take a "tour" once in a while to mix things up. (Damon please come by!) read more

I love Solidcore! I have been coming to the Ballston location for over a year and it doesn't get any easier. I always return because it is always challenging. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers in Ballston! read more

Love this place! Fun but challenging workout that yield great result! Second time was not as bad as the first time and will be back for more! read more

I think I am on class 18? I am not sure, my muscle say it is more like class 180. I was initially apprehensive about going, but my wife got me to go to the new one in Mosiac District. Our first instructor was Alex P. Then we had HIllary F, who we absolutely love! We have also gone to Megan. C's classes, and love her as well! It really is a great workout. Does it cost some $ sure, but I can tell you it is much better spent here, then at a regular LA Fitness with a Personal Trainer. The coaches are always so positive, and helpful with correcting and modifying moves if you need to. I wish there was a Solidcore closer to us (we live all the way out in Manassas, and commute in to Mosiac or Ballston for class.) Hint Hint!!!! Put a Solidcore in Manassas or Gainesville :o) Solidcore, is kind of like Pillates meets Game of Thrones....it is difficult, but it is definitely rewarding after you see how much stronger you have become. My stomach has become tighter, and my obliques stronger (after how many oblique crunches I don't know, one day my obliques felt like they were going to fall off) Anne (The owner) Actually taught us in Mosiac one Saturday, and kicked my butt, I wanted to just take a nap in the car before I drove home. Solidcore is like anything else, the harder you work the better, the results! Keep up the good work! read more

Earlier this year I happened to be driving by the intersection of Glebe and Carlin Springs and I saw a new sign up ... [SOLIDCORE]. I was curious as to what it was so I googled it. The workout looked interesting so I signed up for the class. All I could say was wow! The workout was so intense I was so sore for days, and I could probably only do 30% of the workout and I knew I had to come back. Fast-forward to today and I have now done 40+ classes (I only have checked in on yelp a few times) and [solidcore] is a regular part of my workout routine. I go twice a week and I am challenged every time I get on the megaformer. There is a point in every class where I think why am I torturing myself like this? And when the class is over I can't wait to do it again. I never in a million years thought I would spend so much money on a workout, yes it is expensive! For me it is worth it. I found an intense, low impact workout that I enjoy and keeps me motivated. For the first few months I only took "off - peak" classes to keep the cost down, then once I decided I wanted to make a bigger commitment I waited for a sale and purchased a larger package. If you follow solidcore on social media from time to time discounts are offered. I won't go over the details of the studio here, as the other reviews have done that very well. I just encourage you to try a few classes, a few different coaches and create the strongest version of yourself. UPDATE: While I still love the workout (I have done more than 100 classes) - I will be coming to solidcore less often. Why? 1) The prices have increased and the discounts have decreased (previously there were discounts of 20% occasionally now they are 10%). I fully understand they have a business to run and it does not make sense to under charge but the new pricing structure does not allow me to attend multiple times a week. I will probably go two - maybe three times a month. 2) Some of my favorite coaches has left. I will say that the new coaches are good too - solidcore must have a great training program. I do miss the frequent form corrections some of the coaches who left would give. Also some of the coaches that left would work complementary muscle groups on different days (ie. Tuesday Thursday). So far I have not found any of the newer coaches that are doing that. So it is possible to go three times in a week and work the same muscles and do a very similar workout. I wish there would be "focus of the day" so if you worked hamstring chest and back the next class you could sign up for glutes biceps and triceps. 3) I also had a poor customer service experience. So I have moved on to another gym for the majority of my workouts and solidcore will be more of a supplement. I am not going to change my rating because it is still a good workout- if you are a new client you know the current prices - the coaches you like have to do with personal preference and you might not have a bad customer service experience like I did. read more

I have been [solidcore] obsessed since my first class over a year ago. It totally lives up to the hype and is the most intense workout around! I promote it so highly to everyone I know, including my fellow instructors and clients (as a spin instructor I'm all about challenging workouts!). I started with Anne's classes in the Admo location and got the benefit of getting to know the [solidcore] mission/method from the founder. So I was spoiled to say the least! I had very high expectations every time I went to another studio/coach. When I moved to VA I started taking classes at the Ballston location and it did not disappoint! I love the studio manager Erin S. and how dedicated she is to challenging clients. She always incorporates different moves/combos (as does my other fave teacher Sam!) and provides amazing motivation. *** Quick comment from my husband who just took his first class: It was a really tough class, but you have to give it a shot! After you push through the first two minutes, it truly flies by. Erin S. was great a correcting my form to prevent injury since I was brand new.*** Finally, the community of [solidcore] is unparalleled...and I have been to pretty much every type of fitness studio in the area. And, the results are clear- you will feel stronger physically (and mentally) with every passing class. It is a great compliment to your spinning,running or other cardio workouts, and so [worth it]! read more

Since taking my first private group class a little over a year ago, I have absolutely fallen in love. Well, its a love/hate relationship with the Megaformer. I've been taking classes at the Adams Mo location until the Ballston studio opened up just last month. All the coaches are amazingly motivating and really push you to your limits. Your body completely changes, muscles appear that you never knew you had. You get so much stronger. Two months before my wedding, I devoted 3-4 days a week to SC. Thanks to SC, I felt my best I have ever felt. It never gets easier, but just to know you can hold your plank 15 seconds longer or take one less break than you did before is inspiring enough. I highly recommend you try out this class, and don't just give up after one class because you think its too hard, but try a couple, your body and mind will thank you. read more

I waited to take 4 classes before deciding to review. This is not the kind of place I feel like I could review after 1 class, because the first class all you can think is "what the hell?" and "I'm going to FALL!" (note: I didn't actually fall!) This is a very difficult workout, but can be done if you follow their guidelines, such as being able to do a 60 second plank prior to signing up. For me, I did a few months of body sculpting and other classes before taking the plunge into solidcore. What I've discovered is that after I leave class, my stress has completely melted and I feel like I have conquered something. Solidcore is totally addicting and definitely a challenge for your mind and body. I haven't met a lot of people that took the intro 101 class, but for me it was nice to get a longer overview of the equipment and a sanity check to see if I even would get through a real class. Other pros: the instructors are friendly and very supportive, management has the quickest response times on the planet to questions/comments. read more

Don't expect to go to this place and get nothing out of it! Its a kickass workout and you will definitely be feeling the burn few days after. read more

I've been going to Solidcore Ballston 3 times a week for about a month and half. It's the hardest workout I've ever done! I hate it while I'm going through the pain, sparkles (ladies DO NOT call it sweat ;)) and shakes but I feel soooooo good afterward!! Although I've had the opportunity to work with various great coaches (I've yet to meet a "bad" one), I usually go to Alex's time slot and she's amazing! She gives great cues for beginners and pushes you extra hard if you've been going for a while. Yes, it is not cheap...but it's Arlington. Nothing here is cheap. I could pay slightly less at the gym down the street but I'd have to wait for equipment during the busy times and I wouldn't have someone pushing me every step of the way. For me it's about convenience. I know my slot is there (I hate waiting...ain't nobody got time for that!) and I have a coach who's upbeat, caring and pushes everyone hard. Just one complaint...I love the music so much, sometimes it's hard to know whether to hold the plank or start shaking the booty. ;) In all seriousness, I'm glad I stumbled upon Solidcore. It's fun, convenient, gets me schweaty and sore and the people are great! read more

I can truthfully say that [solidcore] has changed my life. Growing up playing sports and committing to a D1 school for lacrosse, I was forced to hangup my cleats and athletic abilities due to three shoulder surgeries. I was timid, I was weak, I wasn't myself. Then I found [solidcore] and now, thanks to the incredible [solidcore] workout, culture, and people, I am as strong as ever. I highly recommend this unique total body workout to anyone who seeks to be physically and mentally challenged, and bettered, in a positive, fast-paced, high intensity environment. read more

I walked into Solidcore 2 months ago slightly curious and a bit intrigued after looking at the website. I was looking for a new workout challenge and wow - have I found it! Yes, it's hard. Yes, you will sweat. Yes, you will be sore the next day (or even later in the afternoon). But isn't that why you are working out? After 2 months of Solidcore 3 times per week, I've lost over an inch on my hips and waist and I'm definitely much stronger than I was 2 months ago. The various coaches I've worked with are all great and push you to make the most of your 50 minutes. They inspire you to work hard and keep you coming back! For those worried about parking, this is a convenient location with easy parking at the Ballston Mall. read more

Great into course taught by Sarah H. Good for first-timers, and good for those who want to focus on their form and technique more. You'll see lots of people talking about how intense the work out is - and it is - but you'll also see people of all ages, shapes, sizes and levels of fitness - so don't psych yourself out of a fantastic workout. The plank exercises I can't do on my toes (yet), I do on my knees, and I keep coming and keep getting stronger. For your first few classes, you should come 10 minutes early to familiarize yourself with the equipment. You're going to sweat so grab towels and keep hydrated. read more

I've tried a lot of modalities and studios, and in my opinion, so many are more hype than workout and may be better at delivering experiences than internal results. This is for real, and I'm happy to shell out cash to them because it's seriously challenging and purposeful, the work is smart, and it's not something I could do on my own. I get humbled and I leave sore in only the right ways. I was a fan within the 90 seconds of my first class, and I'd recommend it to anyone who considers themselves fit and wants that extra something to get stronger yet. That said, I agree with the reviewer who likened their cueing system to an auctioneer. I've been to five classes, and probably catch about 25% of what the coach says (less as I get more fatigued). I'd encourage the company to rethink the strategy of continuous, urgent vocalization. Give the cues some time to land; say 25% less to be heard 75% more. Your coaches' communicative impact would be so much greater if they actually said a bit less. read more

I was introduced to Solidcore by a good friend of mine and I am so glad she did!! The classes are TOUGH and they really push you to get that last rep. I took several classes with Caitlin in the Ballston studio and she is amazing. She remembers you every class and knows how much she can push you. The solidcore studios are also amazing and create such an awesome atmosphere. I will definitely be taking more classes in the future! read more

I take Sam's class in Ballston every Sunday. It's hard, and I hate her a bit while class is going on, but afterwards, I love her again. This is a workout unlike any other, and you will fail, but the atmosphere is super positive. You feel like you can basically do anything after you finish 50 minutes at [solidcore] with [SAM]! read more

Solidcore is truly the best workout around. I've been taking classes for about a year and it never gets old - tons of variety in the workouts. There are constantly new ways you can push yourself to continue to get an amazing workout. Coming from a background of being an athlete, I missed the dynamic of a coach-athlete relationship. At Solidcore, the coaches are constantly motivating you to help push you to your limits. I have never had a 50 minute workout go by so quickly and feel so satisfying. I highly recommend Solidcore to anyone looking for a new, creative, challenging workout. read more

I tried these classes a couple times. The first thing to consider is the cost -- these are really pricey and not something I could justify doing regularly. The biggest thing that stood out to me as someone who has participated in many many different types of group fitness and training over the years is how chaotic it is that the instructor is not demonstrating what to do as it's going along - so many reps are wasted as you try to look around for someone else who is doing the move accurately as the instructor is pacing around and speaking the moves. I suppose the "regulars" don't need anyone to show them the moves once you're used to it, but as a new person coming and seriously considering making the financial commitment to join as a regular attendee, it isn't very encouraging to leave class feeling like a spaz. read more

I've been taking classes at the various [solidcore] locations for just over a year and I am completely sold on the workout. I often hear people say that it is the most challenging class they have ever taken. This workout will change you body and help you achieve a new level of fitness. I took my first class with Alex Perin at the Ballston studio on it's opening day and I was blown away. This studio, like all of the studios, has an appealing industrial aesthetic and it is also very spacious and full of natural light. There are a number of boutique options in Arlington/Ballston, but solidcore is unmatched. read more

I started taking [solidcore] late December 2014 at the Ballston studio and there is only one way to describe it - AMAZING! I have tried NUMEROUS workouts over the last few years and have never been as challenged and happy than I am with this routine. I am a pretty active person and have worked out most of my life - this class has pushed me to places I would never push myself. It not only teaches you to be strong but really helps you understand the muscles you are working. The Megaformer was tricky at first but the coaches are amazing at making sure your form/ technique is safe and effective. It is a lot of body weight movements that allow you to lean (not bulk - unless you want too) and target muscles you don't even know you have! You will leave sore!! The classes are no more than 11 people in size which allows a lot of individual attention and really lets you get to know your peers. I have to say - it is so nice to see familiar faces and to be motivated by others that come to class. The coaches know everyone by name and are so encouraging - this alone makes you feel welcome and want to come back! Now on the cost...the way I see it - a good gym costs 50-100$ a month. A great trainer costs $100 a session (at least) - [solidcore] is both! Way cheaper than a trainer and way more fun! I buy the unlimited month passes and they are 100% worth it if you take more than 10 classes a month. Now - I have to give a special shout out to the [solidcore] coaches at Ballston! You guys are truly exceptional! Thank you! Today - I am going to be walking into my 15th class (I take about three a week) and can tell you that I am [stronger], more [confident], and honestly just [happy]. read more

This workout is amazing. I can't say it's the most fun I've ever had, but the results are indisputable. I've been going twice a week for almost a year and, along with a good diet, I've lost 10 lbs. and 5% body fat. I am now a 40 year old mother of two with a 6 pack :) In terms of the price--I think of it not as an expensive class but as a cheap personal trainer. the classes are small and the coaches are really motivating and fun. read more

I've taken one class so far and loved it. I opted for the Intro class on a Saturday because they break down all of the moves and explain how the machine works. I am not in the greatest shape but I enjoy a good workout. I was pushing myself to limits with the encouragement of the instructor and I built up quite a sweat. My abs were screaming (in a good way) for the next three days. When I made my first purchase I took advantage of the First timer 5 classes for $99 deal. I have 4 classes left and believe that I will continue to be pleased. read more

By far the most effective and efficient workout I've done. The results are insane - I've tried all kinds of workouts and have never seen changes so quickly. After 18 months of attending class regularly, I continue to feel challenged in a way I can't find anywhere else. Also, the coaches are amazing! They are encouraging, knowledgeable and the small class size really allows them to get to know each client and push them past their limits. read more

I get it. You may know about [solidcore] from your very fit friend that told you it was the hardest workout she has ever experienced and her muscles wept with agony for the next three days. Sure, that is probably true. What you may not know is that you too can/should do this work out. Behind the intimidation factor lies a group of strong and dedicated men and women willing to push themselves and, more importantly, push you to be stronger....even if you suck at first. And you are supposed to suck or be scared at something that is hard to do when you first start out, right? The first time I tried solidcore, I had to use a pole that I clutched on to with dear life to help keep me supported during a front leg lunge. A few months later, and I can now [sometimes] do those lunges with one weight in each hand. I have the amazing coaches and community of solidcore Ballston to thank for that type of progress. When you show up, the coaches will ask you your name not just to check your name off some list but to make sure they introduce themselves and make it personal by remembering your name when you show up the next time! While it may seem like a weird workout cult/clique that you aren't a part of [yet], it really is just a group of people that like things to be intense (cyclists and triathletes welcome!), love a good challenge, and find small achievements add up to big things. There are no judgements, there are only enthusiastic reminders throughout class that you are strong and sweaty high-fives at the end. Other reasons to love the Ballston location - always super clean, plenty of free towels to wipe dripping sweat from your head/arms/legs/etc., easy/short walk from metro, you actually get to know the people that go to class regularly so you can joke about how hard class you are about to take is going to be, and did I mention how kick-ass the coaches are? Well, they are. Trust me. Now go try [solidcore] for yourself! read more

I feel like I've tried almost every group or individual workout in the DC area - OrangeTheory, FlyWheel, Urban Athletic, personal training, PureBarre - and none of them come close to the workout you get at [solidcore]. I originally found [solidcore] while I was looking for a low knee impact workout (post-ACL surgery) to keep me in shape until I could continue the longest distance running I was accustomed to. [solidcore] ended up being much more than I expected, while it was the most challenging physical workout I'd ever done I also found a community that encourages and supports you to be the strongest version of yourself. This workout is worth every penny and I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to [solidcore]! read more

I've been doing Solidcore for 2+ years and absolutely LOVE It. It's the best 50 min workout. kicks my ass every time and i feel like it get my moneys worth since i'm always feeling my (aching) muscles for days after class. it works! I used to spend much more on personal training and this is better and much less! read more

Really great workout! Pushed you to your maximum without ending up hurting yourself. Staff are really friendly; place is clean and very trendy! Would love to see some workout classes, summer camps for middle and high schoolers this Summer! read more

I can not say enough good things about [solidcore]. Over the years I have attended every type of group fitness class (SoulCycle, Orange Theory, CrossFit, etc), but nothing has changed my body like [solidcore]. You see definition and can feel yourself getting stronger almost instantaneously. The coaches are incredibly motivating and make the classes fun. I always look forward to going to [solidcore]! read more

As a woman in her late 40's I have struggled to find a workout that keeps me motivated and entertained...until I found [solidcore]! The classes (I have a particular love/hate with the Arms & Abs Class) and the instructors (Erin S., Mere C., Sam S., Chelsea B., David M. just to name a few!) at the Ballston location are [AMAZING], the workouts are [INTENSE] and I feel like I have finally found my [FAMILY]. I am [STRONGER] - loving my defined shoulders and upper arms and [LEANER] - is that the beginning of a six-pack starting to show than I ever thought I would be at this stage of my life.

Worst experience in Arlington. Waste of your time and money. All parking nearby is permit and it took me 20 minutes to find a spot before class. When I arrived, they informed me that they gave my spot to someone else and I could not be refunded for the class. This was my first and last time attempting to try this place. And, there was noone available to help me get my money back or help me sign up for another class. I was rushed out of the building like I was a distraction. Terrible customer service and not worth the effort. I would rather drive all the way into the city and try a different location with more accommodating staff. Don't bother. read more
