Must try! Solidcore workouts are incredible! Very encouraging, challenging, low impact and great strength builders! This location is quite great, a lot of amazing coaches who make a huge difference in energy & the entire atmosphere of the class. Highly recommend, especially with more experienced coaches! read more

The most amazing Pilates and strength workout you can find! I love Solidcore and the studio is amazing with mega reformers and a core based workout. I love every class I have taken there and feel grateful to be apart of the community. My favorite part, they call you out by name and encourage you! Amazing read more

Solidcore - Pilates Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

See all

Definitely one of the better SolidCore's I have been to! I came here through Classpass and enjoyed the way the studio was set up, with tons of room to put things away, etc. They did not use the doorcode system the other studios seem to use so you actually met with a live person in the front. Pros: the class started on time and better yet, the instructor ACTUALLY cam around and gave corrections. I hate when places don't because it really damages your form and can hurt you in the process. I'm all about a fast paced class but correcting form is important to me. Music doesn't blare here uncomfortably loud either. The workout was definitely kicking my butt. At the end it looks like they provided those who were new with some Epsom salt to soak sore muscles in after which I think is nice. Cons: nothing really other then of course, the price. If it wasn't for Classpass I couldn't afford this place. read more

I've been hearing a lot about solid-core through social media, so I grabbed my best work out buddy and we signed up for a beginner class Sunday morning. Let me just say, this work out kicked my BUTT. The goal of solidcore is essentially to work your muscles to failure. Listen up ladies and gentlemen, to FAILURE. Five minutes in and my friend and I exchanged looks of, "THAT was just the warm up?" with beads of sweat rolling down our face. Even though it was a beginner class, I was dying throughout the whole thing. You can definitely keep up if you pace yourself, but I won't pretend it wasn't extremely challenging. It also made me realize I don't work on my core enough...I didn't think I was that out of shape since I regularly go to the gym for my usual cardio session and (sometimes) weightlifting, but I left this class second-guessing myself. On the flip slide, I loved the environment here. The classes are kept small for good reason! When we first arrived, we were greeted by the instructor, Lindsay, and she also showed us how to use the machines. During the class, she gave out words of encouragement amongst the blaring music through her mic, telling us what a good job we were doing by calling out our names (which surprised me that she even remembered). It was extremely personable and motivated me to push myself to not give up during the work out. And trust me, I wanted to give up several times during the class because my whole body was trembling. The classes are expensive, which is one of the reasons holding me back from becoming a regular, but it's definitely a good work out and was told that it gets easier the more you go! read more

Obsessed is an understatement. The classes have low lights and loud music to help you get out of your head and focus on yourself for 50 mins. If you've ever wanted to try it, just go for it! I did and have continued to show up for last 4 years. I truly love this workout, community, and coaches. read more

I love trying new fitness classes and booked solidcore through classpass ($40 off your first month: class.ps/m-mnE). Classpass is wonderful because it allows a member to try a variety of fitness activities at different studios. I did purchase a 10-pack at Reston which can also be used at the Ashburn location. Solidcore is pilates on steroids! Workouts are done on a megaformer (a reformer on steroids). You will test and challenge your mental and physical strength during class. You will leave sweaty. Slow, balanced, and controlled movements are essential to solidcore workouts. 1st class: Helen 5:30 am. I've completed 8 classes so far (Reston) so I have a general idea of the movements, but holy guacamole, Helen had completely different movements (especially working the glutes) which I absolutely loved! I cannot complete some movements during the 15 second hold (very intense) and sometimes modify (knees instead of toes or forearms instead of hands), but powered through the class. By far, the hardest workout I have done. + mindbody app to book classes + inspirational phrases on the floor + plenty of parking - 12 megaformers (larger space and 3 less megaformers than Reston location) - location is older than Reston so equipment has seen some use * barefoot or grippy socks only * beginners classes are offered To purchase apparel and water/drinks, write on a purchase log and your credit card on file will be charged. Plenty of packages and pricing options. read more

What miserable glory this class is. If you have it in yourself to dig deep and push through the pain you get so much from these intense workouts. You get the most bang for your buck and bang for your time in just one class The music is high energy the instructors are high energy and the moves are tough but doable. I love the inspirational quotes spray-painted on the floor you can see while you're suffering. Believe it or not I really helped me push through the last 5 seconds. The moves in this class are slow and controlled, you don't hold them very long so you can do it, push through it!! I also liked that there were towels and some toiletry items to freshen up after, even face wash!! One con is that these classes are so incredibly expensive. I'm not sure I can afford to come on a regular basis unfortunately. read more

The teachers here are very tough. I go to the gym regularly and within 10 minutes I am sweating. It is very intense. If you want to get the most for 1 hour, Solidcore is a great workout. Vanessa is the manager and she is great to work with. I really enjoy that all of the lights are dimmed, so you really only focus on your workout, you really do not care what anyone else is doing. read more

I've never pushed myself harder in a workout than I do whenever I take Solidcore. I've been coming here since February 2019 and it's easy to see how even though it's a really tough workout, people get addicted to the shakes! The music is high-energy and the instructors are friendly and very motivating. I also like how they always take a few minutes before class to give newcomers a rundown, and to demo moves for all of us that we may not be familiar with and to make sure we have proper form to avoid injury. Classes are pricey but the quality of instructors and the workout itself are so worth it! read more

THe class is challenging, the music and coaches are motivating and the vibe is like no other. The communtiy is encouraging and kind. The benefits of the workout are unmatched. There is always something new to take from the workout so you never do the same thing in a class. read more

Solidcore is no joke. Giving 100% physically isn't enough. You have to give 110% mentally. Getting comfortable with muscle failure and trusting your body is difficult but it's easy to keep coming back for more when you see the results! There are no cheats or shortcuts here. It's you, spring-loaded resistance, and your goals. 50 minutes later (with sweat rolling off you) you can high five your neighbors and coach and feel great about what you just achieved. Personally, it's the toughest and most satisfying part of my day! Shout out to Heather for being the best coach and total rockstar at our 6am (and now 5:30am) classes! read more

Best workout around. Effective use of time to get the most out of the workout. Trainers are great motivators.

A year later my review from last year still stands! Some coaches have changed but still just as motivating and inspiring as they were from day 1. read more

There's nothing like this workout, in the way there's nothing like a torture exercise that makes you shake and burn! I felt my body shaking for hours after my first class and was sore for 4 days, but I had to go back for more because it works all the muscles that other classes and gyms miss.... I can tell how much stronger my glutes and other muscles have gotten through this class, and the single leg exercises help with balance. The coaches are personable and walk around to really evaluate what you're doing and make form corrections. There's such a sense of accomplishment after making it through a class when it hurts so good! read more

One of the hardest classes I've ever taken. Definitely not a class for someone who hasn't worked out in awhile. I was sweating like crazy 10mins into the class and I'm not much of a sweater. It's an intense 50min workout that works muscles I didn't even know I had. After my first class, I was sore EVERYWHERE. There's about 10(?) machines so all the classes are small. One thing I would have liked is that the instructor have their own machine to show us the moves. Half of the class I was looking around at what to do and everyone was doing something different. Membership here is super expensive unfortunately. It's located in the shopping center with Whole Foods and right next to pure barre. read more

One of the most challenging and amazing workouts you will ever do. The goal of [solidcore] is to get you to actual muscle failure, and you will absolutely get there. You literally work muscles you didn't even know existed - that hard to hit area right below your ass (your "thass"), obliques, tiny little upper ab muscles - they will all be shaking by the end of 50 minutes. BUT you will 100% wake up feeling stronger the next day! The space is beautiful, and the location is WONDERFUL - nothing better than popping over to Whole Foods for a juice after a bangin workout. AND to top it all off, the instructors are top notch - motivating, high energy, and knowledgeable about the workout and the body. DEFINITELY give [solidcore] a go! read more

The intro class is a good opportunity to experience the reformer! Nice introduction, experienced staff. Enjoyed the professionalism and welcoming approach of the manager Rex! read more

I can't say enough good things about Solidcore. I've been going to the Mosaic location since August of last year. I can't tell you how happy I am that the Ashburn location is finally open as it's just a few miles from my home. If you're game to try Solidcore, you won't be disappointed. It's one of the best 50 min workouts I've ever done. It's a total body workout that hits your legs, arms and absolutely your core. You're gonna sweat your ass off. The class never gets easier, you just continue to get stronger. The coaches are all motivating they know how to push you to your limits. You might think that $26 - $30 a class is a little pricey but I've been paying a personal trainer (whom I loved) $98 a week for 5 years now and have seen little results from the trainer. I've seen noticeable results from Solidcore going just 2 times per week. read more

Tonight I did solidcore as part of the yelp fitness club. It was probably the hardest fitness class I have ever done and I have done pure barre, soul cycle, zengo cycle, etc. From about two minutes in I could feel my muscles fatiguing. The instructor, Jen, was very nice and motivating. There were a few of us who were new and she made us feel welcomed and inspired. I know I probably looked like a hot mess, but she made me feel like I was a rockstar. I have been out of the class for less than 20 minutes and I already feel the soreness setting in. I would say that if you want a challenging, low impact class, go for this one! Also a tip: trust yourself on the machine. I didn't fully trust myself and I feel like you really have to trust that you won't fall over, so believe in yourself! Another tip: arrive to class early if you are new so you can learn about the machine and see a demo of some of the basic exercises. read more

[Solidcore] has been the most intense workout I have ever had and I absolutely love it. I started going once a week and now I've finally worked up to 2-3 times per week and I've definitely noticed my body getting stronger and more toned/muscular as well. I've also noticed a huge difference in my energy levels and mood overall throughout the week. I really enjoy taking classes with Chris and Jen - they're both SO nice and encouraging and really care about your progress in the class. Definitely give it a try! read more

What, what?!?! Took a class with Vanessa AND MAN DID I FEEL THE BURN! First off, Vanessa's energy is incredible! This class is incredibly difficult and she will push you to do your best and then some! In these classes you will work every muscle, you will be shaking! I can't wait to come back(as soon as I can move again) read more

Only went for one class and it was amazing. Only reason I didn't sign was the cost. It was too expensive and definitely for the rich. Otherwise: THE best workout I've ever had. Wish I could go back. The instructor was helpful and patient and the reformers were clean. Space was clean. read more

I call [solidcore] the class that keeps on giving. You will feel the effects of every second you spend in class days after you leave the studio. After my first class, well let's be real, after almost every class, my body felt like it never had before - honestly didn't think I was capable of being so sore. But the coaches are by your side the entire class, making sure you're in (and stay) in the move so that you feel it in all the right places. It's amazing how far you can push yourself. I've been able to accomplish more under these blue lights than I ever thought I could and started seeing results after the first month (though everyone is different). My advice, try it out and stick with it - you won't be disappointed! read more

This is the best workout I've ever done! I started coming to the Ashburn studio when I was 8 months postpartum and I was so nervous since my core strength was not what it used to be. Yes, the workout was insanely tough but after just a few weeks, I've noticed a huge difference in my body and overall strength. It's been life changing! All of the instructors I've met are amazing--Lindsey's beginner classes were the perfect way to get hooked and I love how encouraging she is. Helen and Vanessa's classes are so tough but they are so good about making sure my form is perfect while still pushing me to work harder. I absolutely love this workout and studio and I'm so glad I found it when I did! read more

You can't get a better workout in 50 minutes. Every coach here is great and keeps the classes different, challenging, fun, and rewarding. I'm generally one of the older ones in a class, but you find yourself getting better and stronger each time......you'll sweat a lot in this class (I burn through a couple of towels each time) but you will not be disappointed! read more

I took my first class today, and it was by far the most innovative and intense workout I've ever experienced. The instructor, Jen, and all the other participants made me feel welcomed and inspired. I will be back! read more

This is without a doubt the best workout I have had in years. All instructors push you to your limit every class while making it fun! Every class is challenging yet rewarding every time you go!! read more

The instructors are constantly pushing you to be at your best and always very helpful with making sure the posture is right to get the maximum result from this intense workout. I really enjoy the Ashburn studio and feel exhilarated after a session. read more

Sooo glad Solidcore made it out to the 'burbs! This is probably the most effective workout I've ever done, and never gets easier (in a good way). I love that the classes are only 50 minutes, and they fly by! read more

Get ready to die! I took my first class a few days ago, and I still feel sore! I want to go back, but I can barely walk! I feel like everyone gets sore after a work out, but I can see how this type of workout will produce results quick. I'll update this review after more visits. The workout room was pretty cool with mirrors in the front and the back of us. Playlist was on point. Most importantly, I loved our coach. She was welcoming at the beginning of class, and very informative at the end of the class. During the class, she pushed us as far as she believed we could go. Allison was super encouraging, and I liked how she tried to keep the group together and addressed us by our first names. I highly recommend everyone give it a chance. read more

Let me begin by saying I've NEVER written a Yelp review, however [solidcore] is 100% worth my time in writing this review. I had never heard of [solidcore] and had no clue what I was about to get myself into. [Solidcore] is hands down the BEST and MOST EFFECTIVE workout you will ever experience. The amazing thing about [solidcore] is not just the workout, but the instructors are by far the most caring, motivational, focused instructors I've ever encountered in any fitness regime I've taken part in. I honestly cannot give enough praise to the instructors. They're amazing! To be honest, I didn't make it through my first class, but I went back and tried it again; that was the best decision I've made all year. For the first time in my life I'm able to do an actual pull-up and can easily hold a plank for over a minute. I started attending [solidcore] 2-3 times a week, beginning at the end of June 2017, and I can guarantee you will see your body change if you can commit to one month of attending [solidcore] classes. It is not easy by any means, but it actually works! I was almost 300lbs when I started my [solidcore] journey. I've lost almost 35lbs and 7.5 inches in my waistline in just under 3 months. TL;DR - [solidcore] will change your life and your body faster than any other workout out there. The brackets around [solidcore] are SO necessary. Give [solidcore] a try and prove me wrong! read more

This is the best workout I have ever tried. It is intense and will be difficult, but this is where you are able to put your mind to the test and achieve all of your goals. Solidcore is by far my favorite class because not only is it a challenge, but the environment is so positive and the instructors are very encouraging. I have definitely seen results and [solidcore] has defined my muscles and also boosted my mood. I definitely recommend! read more

A very unique workout that makes you work muscles you forget you have. My first workout was very humbling, and I immediately bought a package to come back for more! Jen is very motivating and takes time to know everyone's names. The location is also good and the studio is cute. I can't stop talking about solidcore! read more

Kicked my butt. I left this class feeling amazing, even though throughout the class I thought my body may give out. I am so proud of myself for making it through the entire thing. My instructor Jen, was super motivating and helpful to make sure I was doing the workouts correctly. I was sore for a good three days after this workout, that means it worked, right? ;) I will definitely come back for the March special right before bikini season! read more

I don't know why it took me so long to start going to classes but now I'm not going to stop. I love it, I love feeling sore for days afterwards, I love that Jen, the instructor, remembers all of our names and remembered me even though I didn't go for two weeks. Tonight was only my third class but I'm addicted and shaking from muscle failure as I write this. If you're looking for a great workout that's good for people with injuries, this is it. In 50 minutes I burned 382 calories. read more

Spot on! Amazing kick a$$ workout. I'm retired from endurance sports and my knees and hips are done. I'm not in as good of shape as I used to be but want to find the 'right for me right now'.. this IS it. I'm certain. I'm just 12 hours post-first-class and every muscle fiber is exhausted and hurting, in an oh so good kind of way. 50 minutes. Great music. Yes, it's fast paced, but use your eyes and ears and follow along. I think I'm a believer..... read more

I'm starting to get back to exercising regularly and wanted to find something different yet challenging. I was thrilled when the Ashburn location opened! I love Solidcore, even though I have a hard time keeping up. The exercises are very hard and intense, but I love the variety and number of transitions within the 50 minute class. All the instructors I've had so far are great, but I really love Calla (generally teaches at the Mosaic location). I felt I needed to get back into shape first before continuing Solidcore classes, but I like it so much I'll keep going. Looking forward to the Tyson's location opening in Nov 2016. read more

Over the past month or so, I have been trying out different fitness facilities in the area to find the best fit for me. I have attended workouts with both Jen and Jenny and they are awesome coaches! They are conscientious of your posture to make sure you are getting the right results from your workout. They push you to the maximum along with "shout outs" of encouragement. They remember your name even if you have not been there for a while. Best workout ever! I have, so far, attended 3 classes and my 4th will be on Wednesday. I will then decide on a package. I have found my fitness place FINALLY! read more

Love Solidcore! I've tried a lot of different classes but this workout is the best for building strength and toning muscles. The instructors are friendly, motivating, and knowledgeable. read more

After a few injuries I'm unable to do any impact classes and have struggled to find a workout that really gets me to muscle fatigue. Solidcore is the answer I've been looking for! Love the small classes and atmosphere. Allison is a great, encouraging instructor. I've been twice and can't wait to go back! read more
