I've been a Solidcore girl since 2018 at this location and I've seen a lot of coaches over the years. It's always a consistently challenging workout and the coaches are well trained! I have really appreciated how they have changed workouts up and muscle group pairings over the years. I'm really active and can still challenge myself. read more

Finally tried Solidcore after getting a new client 4-pack and have really enjoyed the classes so far! This review is specifically for the Starter50 series. The instructors are so welcoming for newbies! They demo the form and movements and walk around to fix your form as well. They lay a good foundation for what to expect in a signature class, and the workout is still crazy intense. Even after just a couple classes I feel stronger! The space itself is clean and well-kept, with nice restrooms and locker space. Fair warning, if you buy the 4 pack you are no longer eligible for the new client 2 week unlimited - I wish I knew that ahead of time and probably would have gotten the unlimited deal. Will be back and excited to try the regular full body classes soon! read more

Purchased the new client 2-week unlimited; completed class #4 last night! Have loved each coach here and the studio is nice and clean!!

I took my first solidcore class at this location and it was HARD. Definitely the hardest workout I've ever engaged in (including conditioning for competitive cheer). This is truly a full body workout and the coach talks you through everything. Will be signing up for more pain read more

Easy to book online but note the weekends get booked fast if you wait too long. I liked that the instructor introduced herself to me and helped me throughout class. I had looked a lot at the people next to me if I was lost. I know I will be sore because not use to doing this type of exercise. My main exercises are Muay Thai and running. Also they do offer military veteran discounts. I signed up for it online and took a few days to get verified. read more

The best and most addicting workout!! Solidcore, you have my heart! I've been coming for 2+ years and the coaches are seriously some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I love the branding, and it makes working out actually fun. read more

WOW! I am SO sore... in the best way! One intro class and I already feel my muscles working overtime. I've done reformer pilates but this is definitely a step up. Currently heading in for my second class and I'm nervous (in a good way kind of) update: just finished my second class! I am even more sore now (to be expected). I've only done 2 classes now but I can already tell that if you want quick results, this is the way to go. read more

I signed up for the 2 week trial and have been to 6 classes so far, most of them at the domain location but one at this one and they've been incredible! These workouts are TOUGH I'm sweating less than 10 minute in but I love that they're high intensity and low impact so it's not like I can't breathe doing burpees but more like my legs are quaking and I'm going to topple over. The instructors are super high energy in the best way possible, facilities are clean and parking isn't too bad. I'd love to sign up for their monthly classes once my trial ends but their prices feel out of my budget even with a student discount. read more

I've been going here for several months and have been taking classes with several different instructors and I can't recommend enough! It's challenging in the best way that I can't achieve in my normal weightlifting exercise. Cami, Sydney, and Amanda are some of my favorite instructors - they toe the line between pushing you without being overbearing really well that makes it challenging but still fun. read more

I've been going to SolidCore for almost a year now & the workouts never get easier. I always feel so much stronger after leaving these workouts! If you've never done Solidcore it is different than your traditional Pilates class - in fact they don't call it Pilates. They have sweatlana as mega reformer machine that has anywhere from light to heavy spring loads! Depending on the number of classes you've been too, they will recommend different spring loads that accommodate everyones level. They also ask if you would like hands on adjustments as you're going thru the workout to ensure you aren't hurting yourself. This studio is very personable & they spend the time to get to know your name! Lauren is the community manager here & she is an awesome coach! If you ever need anything she will email you back right away. read more

My first time at pilates! It definitely kicked my butt, and the instructor was absolutely amazing. She was able to direct us newbies while challenging the experienced ones (I'd shout her out if I could remember my own name after this workout). I've been raving about this place since and will definitely be back. read more

This was definitely the hardest Pilates class I've taken so far, but the most enjoyable one! I liked how it was dark in there because everyone would've seen how much I was struggling otherwise . I did the full body class, and I did feel like it was a good full body workout. The music was a bit loud and I felt like the instructor spoke a little fast (but this was also my first time here so I'm not used to the instructions yet), however I was able to look at everyone around me and follow along. Sydney was a great instructor, and I think after a few classes the flow will come more naturally. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this class!! I would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a solid workout. read more

had a class with Cami 3:30 sat, who was an OK teacher - not great, but the bigger problem was that her voice was extremely loud and ear piercing, and when given feedback regarding how they should place the earplugs, she was extremely unreceptive, which means new people are likely to have ear damage when they leave. I've done about 30 classes at solid core downtown and think the program is generally very strong but if they can't take feedback or have teachers who actually care about students help then somethings wrong. read more

An amazinggg workout! I love this studio and all the instructors. Everyone is so nice and they're pros at motivating you to push yourself as hard as possible. My favorite instructors are Grace and Kim -- attending their classes is like going to a nightclub where the DJ is lit, but you're also shaking and second-guessing why you keep signing up for class after class. There's definitely a learning curve since the classes are fast-paced and it's dark in there. But, you'll get the hang of it after 3-4 classes! read more

Pro tip. Ask for a code to get into the studio.. If you haven't done it get there 10-15 min early the machines need a go over since it gets loud and dark. They have redeemed themselves once I got in! The manager called me and made sure my experience is great. Kimberly hosts a great class and gives lots of individual help. read more

Love the vibe! I'm new to the solid core life but it kicked my butt and I felt included and welcomed. I was sore for DAYS but it was what I needed. Someone walking me through everything, with fun music, low lighting and being able to follow along to instruction. I will say as a newbie I had to watch people around me but the trainer was also great about coming by to course correct but in a not embarrassing way. read more

Horrible customer service. The no exceptions policy to being late is absurd. 1 minute too late due to unforeseen circumstances and told no, when I come here WEEKLY. I understand not wanting people to take advantage of it but an employee is more worried it will reflect poorly on her than actually being a decent human. Do not patronize this business. read more

Dang. I never knew that I would be shaking for HOURS after a class was done - and in areas I didn't even know could be targeted!! I've been going consistently for a few months- and I'll say that each time STILL kicks my ass!! (While that notion is also incredibly frustrating, lol, I LOVE that I know I'll show up and always get a killer workout). BEGINNERS:: Keep in mind that there's a learning curve, and getting down the format and how to move on the reformer takes a bit of time. Show up early! The instructors always go over moves that take a little more thought and precision ahead of class. You also can ask one of them about modifications-especially if you have any injuries. ATHLETES: As a yoga instructor and someone who works out every day, I thought my core would tackle this no problem, but the machine makes it insanely challenging and hits parts of my core, glutes, and upper body in ways I can't seem to target at the gym. It's also a lot of *balance* so you work stabilizer muscles as well. They start off with core, move into lower body, more core, and typically end with upper body moves -- so I'd suggest only some cardio on a day you do this workout - IF you want to do anything else. This is TOUGH. **TIP: Their facilities are new and clean, but they don't have showers- so keep that in mind. :) They have free towels though!! So many killer ladies teaching- Erica Lynn, Liv, Ellen, and Julie- and they remember your name and give you personalized attention and affirmation throughout class. You really feel like they're watching you and cheering you on so you push yourself the hardest. I'm in love with this new challenge for my body and already see an incredible difference in my glutes and abs!! Excited to see how I continue to get stronger. Oh- and they have a location downtown too!! It's not on Yelp yet but they rock it there also! read more

UPDATE!: So I've gone probably 3-4 times now. It's still warm in the studio but not as fast pace as before since I know what I'm doing. Still not a fan of the loud music. Thanks to a private message I've found the studio for me elsewhere. Just as intense but the music isn't as loud & quality of instruction is better in my opinion. ---------/// The studio is cool. I signed up as a new member for 2 classes for $39 (not bad). I'm new to Austin but attended Pilates classes consistently in Houston for 6 months before stopping due to the move and saving money for a wedding. I hoping this studio would really move me the first go around but it didn't. Upon arriving I couldn't get into the studio. Apparently there was a code but I never received one? Upon entering the room it was warm (probably on purpose). However, I'm not a fan of Hot Yoga nor Hot Pilates. I like to sweat because it's a hard workout not because it's already warm inside. It's a small room and the stuffiness just kind of made me feel a little claustrophobic. The workout was definitely challenging (especially considering it had been 6 months since I'd done Pilates), yet I continued working out at OrangeTheory. The instructor did well to try her best to call out our names during class to motivate and to help with form from time to time but I often felt rushed in order for them to complete the workout. The music is loud in my opinion and distracts me from focusing on my form. Because the music is loud, the instructor's mic was louder. Now, this just may be my own preference. I definitely enjoy music during my workout, but it felt more of just like noise to me. During multiple exercises I wasn't entirely sure what I was supposed to be doing. There isn't a designated spot for everyone to properly see how to do an exercise. I spent a lot of my time looking around at others (who were all doing it differently) to get an idea. Even then I was unsure. I know the instructor saw my hand go up for help, but she seemed so busy just trying to get to the next exercise. I also would have appreciated some modifications on the hamstring exercise that I was unable to do instead of me just laying there. I KNOW there's another way to work those muscles... Overall the instructor was friendly and I didn't feel unwelcome, however I felt like they're focused on fast pace rather than true quality with their members. I will continue with my second class in hopes that I will feel different! Otherwise I will continue my search elsewhere! It's nice and clean and if you're into Hot anything, don't mind loud music, and don't want much modification of anything this may be for you. After doing OrangeTheory 3 times a week, I'm looking for something that's still very challenging (which Solidcore is) but more relaxing mentally which I can't accomplish person with the loud music and loud mic. Give it a try! read more

I just moved from out of state and was concerned I would not find an amazing gym nearby to replace fave gym. I tried a few gyms out in Austin and LOVE Solidcore. As a person who is used to intense HIIT workouts and endurance training, I love a fast paced challenge, loud electronic music during my workout, a clean contemporary gym, inspirational instructors and a workout that gives me a feminine look - and that's exactly what Solidcore is. All the instructors have been amazing AND I need to give a shout out to Kelly! She was my first instructor, knows everyone by name and just is a little firecracker - she will make you feel so welcome! I wish they were 2 miles closer to my house but they are are worth the drive! I go during non-traffic hours! Thumbs up and five stars. read more

I loved my first 2 visits to Solid Core! Both Erica Lynn and Kimberly's classes were amazing. Both very different but both extremely challenging! I'm sore for days after one of these classes. The studio is very easy to find and there's plenty of parking around the Triangle. I do recommend getting there 15ish minutes early so you don't feel rushed and can learn some of the movements before class begins. The class itself is tough! It's hard to find studios/classes in Austin that are worth the $$.. but Solid Core hits the spot! It's 50 minutes of pure burn to fun music. There are 13 people in the class so you won't feel super alone but will also get some attention/correction from the instructors. I can't wait to go back! read more

The only fitness class that makes my core sore. Super welcoming, simple structure that makes Pilates less intimidating for beginners. Also probably one of the few Pilates studios that has $5 community classes! Both the regular and community classes are the same with the same intensity and effort from the instructor. read more

solidcore is the best core workout I've had in years. Our instructor Liv is outstanding and motivating (and a bit scary hahaha) but you walk away really happy with your workout and in need of a good shower. Beware: you'll be sore for a few days afterwards! read more

Just moved to Austin from DC, and I was so happy to learn that [solidcore] moved here as well! After doing [solidcore] every morning for almost a year, I can say that this workout has changed my life! It's by far the hardest boutique fitness class I've ever taken in the United States and you will NOT plateau at all. I was a competitive athlete way back when and [solidcore] is the one of the only places that can really kick my butt consistently. This is not your normal Pilates class - this is intense, fast-paced, and empowering as fuck. This new studio in Austin is beautiful and spacious, and the lighting and sound system is great (it's got that signature, [solidcore], club-like feel). As this location is new, the schedule is still a bit sparse compared to DC, but they will definitely be expanding their schedule as time goes on. Super clean facilities, the Sweatlana machines are all brand spanking new, and the coaches here are incredibly motivating and friendly. Definitely check it out! read more

This was a challenging workout to say the least. If you want to target your body and see what it's capable of, this is it. I go to Orangetheory 5 times a week so I thought I was in good shape but this kicked my butt. The intensity was high, I couldn't stop sweating and had to take multiple breaks. Loved the instructor, the vibe and the music, can't wait to take another class. read more

Solidcore was just that...a solid workout for my core (and my arms and legs). If you have done other megaformer classes at studios in town, then you'll be familiar with the style of workout. I found them via ClassPass and am glad to have checked out the new studio. Kelly, the studio manager, told me they had been open about a week. My class was not full. It looks like the room has about 12-14 megaformers, but only half were full. Kelly was also the instructor. She gave clear instructions and made adjustments as needed to my form. Since the studio is new, is sparkly and clean. They have 2 nice, larger bathrooms as well as 2 changing rooms. There is a water station to fill a bottle you bring and they sell bottled water too. Towels are provided and on your machine when you enter the studio. I brought grippy socks and wish I had worn them, as I got quite sweaty in the class. I wish there had been some air circulation either via a/c or fans, but perhaps the room was meant to be heated...that was unclear to me. No complaints, solid workout, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Kelley Jo was absolutely fantastic . So motivating and enthusiastic . Beware this workout is brutal but so worth it !!

My friends and I are looking for a Pilates studio to join. Ive taken Pilates many times so I understand the gist of it. My buddy and I came in last week to try our first class. Over half of the students were first timers to this studio like us. The instructor wasn't very good at walking us through the class - we were all confused and looking around and she just didn't know how to verbally explain how to do the exercises very well. Half the time people were doing them completely wrong and could've easily gotten injured. If not many of us are understanding what you are trying to explain, it's probably a sign to change your approach. I'm also confused on the business model - making it dark and super loud when you actually need to be able to see to understand the movements...and you need to hear the instructor to follow along? Not really logical. As soon as we got in the car to leave, my friend let me know how badly he didn't like the class cause he was confused the whole time. 100% agree. After a long day of running my business each day, the last thing I wanna do is go to a workout class where I have to strain my mind to even figure out the class - this should be my time to release stress from the day and give my mind a rest. read more

Good workout, rude staff. Don't try asking them to go out of their way with anything (i.e., put you on the waitlist, set up a private class, etc.). They would rather have an empty class than take 5 minutes for customer service. read more

Took the Friday afternoon class with Kelly Jo, she was incredibly enthusiastic and watched our form. When class ended, I felt exhilarated and already look forward to next time. I am taking off one star because we were locked out of the studio before class time. Apparently they text you the code right before the class begins but this is not disclosed ahead of time so two of us were waiting a good ten minutes to be let inside the building and none of us knew to check our cell phones. Oops. read more

nope nope nope. I had high hopes for this workout option since I need targeted core work to help recover from an injury, but no. I called and had to leave multiple messages before someone called me back. I asked about the beginner class, but was told that if I exercised regularly, I would be fine in a regular class. I arrived early as instructed and was lead through a "here's what you'll do" demonstration by the woman who lead the class. She spoke to me over the speaker system, which was odd since I was standing right next to her, but basically what I got was "you'll feel like a fish out of water, just stop when you need to" and that's about it. The class was ridiculously fast, my "training" didn't help me prepare for the reformer, the moves, or the transitions at all, and the music was entirely too loud for my comfort. I left after 33 minutes and won't be back. Back to my search for a core-specific workout option. read more
