I am writing a review after visiting Solidcore over the years. When I first attended Solidcore classes in 2022, I was ENERGIZED, ENTHUSED, and knew my money worth was giving me a solid good workout. And when I attended classes recently I appreciated the welcoming energy of staff and pretty clean environment. But now, in 2026, I see there is room for improvement to maintain a high quality work experience and environment. First, a proper balance between music and instructor voice must be struck so that the participants can hear the instructor clearly (and not muffled) while engaging in an immersive sound experience. I find it concerning that my watch informs me that being in the room for more than 30 minutes can greatly increase risk of hearing loss. I think the soundscape can be restructured to be surrounding without overwhelming. Furthermore, I noticed a significant change in post-class atmosphere. Staff are friendly, but the bathrooms have significantly less hygiene products and this Solidcore doesn't have any showers. Given that this one of the most expensive $ to class ratio in the Baltimore area, I think participants would appreciate their class price or membership price utilized for amenities like a shower or more hygiene products in the bathrooms. I hope to attend a solidcore class soon again with hope of an improved immersive experience and high quality class. read more

I'm a Solidcore fan in general, but this location is my favorite and I'm so glad they're my home location. Parking can get a tricky but the coaches here are worth it! All the coaches are so encouraging and this studio feels extra clean and the machines' cables are always even! read more

Solidcore - Pilates Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

j The worse smelling solid core I have ever come to. The smell of this studio has seeped into my hair and I can't get it out. I give 3 stars because the classes and instructors are good but they really need to work on the hygiene of the studio. It smells absolutely disgusting and having been to 5 other solid core studios none of them had that stench. read more

Love Solidcore. The instructors here are great and the classes are always fun and difficult. Only downside is this studio is SO HOT AND HUMID IN THE SUMMER. Honestly it's a bit of an issue because you start slipping on the machines. But 5/5 if they can get the a/c working. read more

Wow! What a great workout. I took a class with Skylar this afternoon as part of the Baltimore Fitness Crawl. I am so happy I did. What a great concept and what an excellent workout. What do I love about it? Well first, Skylar was so sweet. I have never used these machines before and I typically do yoga and not reformer workouts, the concept here is small micro movements that tire out the muscles and tone down to the bone. My arms were shaking and I appreciate how Skyler would correct my form when I was out of alignment. The studio is clean, spacious, fun, and it's a great workout with lovely people. What to expect. Be prepared to sweat, be prepared to not be good at it your first time. Consider trying out several classes to become proficient at using the machine as well as transitioning from exercise to exercise. Bring a towel, bring water, bring high energy and get ready to enjoy yourself. I can already tell I am going to be sore tomorrow (in a good way). I am very excited to add Solid Core to my workout routine, give it a try, I know you will love it too. read more

This is THE boutique fitness studio to join. The workout is no joke - I immediately started sweating and quaking when class started, and as someone who thinks of myself as decently fit, I would hope that whatever class I take would be worth every minute there (or else I could just do my own workouts). This is a type of class that would make sense to add in 1-2x/week to your workout routine (or else you'd be constantly sore all the time). This was my second time taking a reformer class and first time here but it wasn't too hard to figure out + the instructor made sure to help me. Loved the small class size, the electric blue lighting in the otherwise dark room, the music, and the instructor's energy. Great location too. The instructor even gave me a shoutout at the end for my first class and the girl next to me even told me good job when the class was over -- I can see why it's a cult! read more

Solidcore - Pilates Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Writing this from my hospital bed (jk). Solid core is such an intense workout but it's worth every drop of sweat and confused face when your instructor tells you to turn one way, no the other way, put your foot over the other, balance, crunch, 20 more seconds... I didn't think I would last my first session with Caroline. She's a sweetheart and extremely helpful during the workouts. It's just brutal and not for the faint of heart. It's basically pilates on steroids. I signed up for the beginners 2 for $29 package which means I'll be back for torture, I mean strength training. I'm going to wait for the soreness to go down before I return lol. The studio is very nice and easy to navigate. When you register for a class, they email you a lock code to get into the studio. There's an hour free parking on the street the studio is located on or you can park in the lot toward the end of the hill. I also recommend coming in 15 minutes early, just like the studio suggests, so you can get familiar with the equipment. read more

This used to be my home studio, and boy how I miss it! My home studio is now in Annapolis since I work in Annapolis, but of the two, Baltimore is my favorite! All of the instructors are amazing, my favorites are Jaime S., Olivia, and Samantha Redman! I usually go to the 7am classes and Jaime teaches that time on Tuesdays and Thursdays and you know her classes are popular when every single class of hers is waitlisted! So if you're brand new and want to try her out, make sure you sign up for her class at least a week ahead of time! Although normally even if you're on a waitlist for a class, you are 90% sure you're gonna make it in. Anyway, the other things this studio has that annapolis doesn't is a code to get into the studio (but I guess there's more foot traffic in this area.. and even though it's the nicer part of Baltimore, it's still Baltimore!), they have a changing room separate from bathrooms, and they have lockers (however, I never used them and I've heard the locks don't work properly half the time). The vibe here is just so much more amazing. They actually have a seating area where people waiting for the next class wouldn't be stuck staring at the people in the current class like if you're at Annapolis. I love the studio manager here (Olivia) and I just all in all really miss Jaime. You can tell all of the staff are close and I just really miss the homey feel of the studio. Aside from my undying love of the studio, the classes are great. I'm an unlimited member and go at least 4 times a week. Every class is different and I love that you have different muscle groups they focus on each day so you really can get a full body workout in a week (with different leg/butt and arm/back/chest focus areas daily). I never had ab or arm definition until I started going here, so if you're looking to tone up, then this is the workout you need! I hit both my 100th and my 200th class at this studio (both with Summer Abdullah, whom I also love!). So needless to say, this studio will always have a special place in my heart. read more

I love the workout, the coaches, and the community. When I'm under the blue lights and the coach has some awesome music playing, everything else in my life melts away and I'm fully present in the moment. That's a beautiful thing. Over the last 12 weeks, I've gone 3-4 times per week and my body has changed noticeably. I'm stronger and have more energy in my day-to-day life. read more

Have you ever experienced a "feel good pain?" Well, go to this class to find out exactly what I mean. The full body workout was like nothing I have ever experienced. Using the carriage machine was pretty simple after the 10 minute tutorial, so don't worry about being a new comer. The 50 remaining minutes was just the right amount of time in the class-- just as I was on the brink of death, it was over. Moving from exercise to exercise on the carriage could be a bit difficult (having the carriage slide from under you) but I just kept it pushing. The instructor, Jaime, added to the class experience as well-- her music selection was on point! She also had a good balance of checking on my form, but not hovering as I worked out. I would really love to buy the 10 class bundle for these classes in the future. It's such a nice addition to my workout routine. read more

I think the grace period for these classes should be extended. I left the county 30 minutes before the class and traffic was a bear. We tried to get in 6 minutes after the given time and we were locked out. I'm very disappointed because I've been there before and I understand it can be disruptive but these classes are not cheap. read more

Wow that was a tough workout! I'm not sure I'll be coming back haha I'm still sore after 4 days. But it was definitely a lot of fun but still no six pack for me. read more

I work out quite frequently or at least I think I do and solidcore was by far the most challenging class I have taking to date. I initially did a teacher in training, and then I purchased a new client $29 deal. Both instructors I had were thorough, engaging, and encouraging. The price point is high for me, but I encourage anyone and everyone to try it a couple of times at least purchase the new client special and decide for yourself. You are assured of a good workout no doubt. read more

I am obsessed with solidcore! I have done Pilates for a number of years and in a bunch of different styles (classical, contemporary, on the mat, on traditional equipment, lagree, etc.), and it's honestly one of my fave methods of exercise (it also helped rehab my fractured spine). solidcore is not traditional Pilates by any means and I LOVE that! The machines are a version of the megaformer, but designed specifically for solidcore (#sweatlana). The style of class is also kind of like a bootcamp, which I feel like is sooo different than other Pilates classes I've taken. If you've new, they offer new client specials and they're also on ClassPass. I'd recommend getting there early, as the coach will walk you through the machine, demo some key moves, etc. My fave instructors are Jaime (studio manager), Jami, Kim, Alex... basically all of them!!! This is an awesome studio/community and I'm so happy they finally have a Baltimore location! read more

No matter how in shape you think you are, Solidcore will challenge you. It is a much more intense version of pilates. The instructors are great about giving instructions and helping to modify if you want. They will make sure you know what to do and feel oriented on the machine. Your legs will be shaking, but that means you are working hard! It is a really fun workout with music and I recommend everyone should try it once. It's now a permanent part of my workout routine. I will say especially in the beginning I recommend against going several times per week because you will be SORE but in a good way. There is free one hour parking out front. I have ClassPass so can go 3x per month with that. Otherwise the classes are pretty pricey, but worth it if you'll go. read more

Finally! [solidcore] is in Baltimore and I couldn't be happier for the workout to come to this city! It's located in the new complex near Exelon making it a bit challenging for people commuting from Federal Hill but the space is beautiful and the machines kick your butt. For those unfamiliar with [solidcore], it's essentially Lagree Megaformer packed into 50 minutes of torture. The best kind of torture! High intensity, low impact and you'll be shaking all over. I tried Jamie's class and can't wait to try others! read more

I bought a 2 class pass for $30 to try out Solidcore, had no idea what it was when I walked in, I only knew that it will be challenging. The class itself was SO INTENSE AND HARD. It will probably be the hardest thing you've ever done... BUT IT'S SO WORTH IT! It is a little pricey, but after the experience, it's definitely worth. There are machines that you can do all sorts of core workouts on. All of the workouts are variations on squats, planks and arms. The group class is only 12 spots so it's small and intimate and feels like you have a personal trainer, the coaches really work with you to make sure you're doing it right! I was nervous my first time but they made me feel really welcomed and comfortable. Artemis and Jaimie are great and they really keep you pumped up and going the ENTIRE 50 minutes. The space is clean and modern, love the all the essentials they provide in the bathroom for you to get ready if you're heading somewhere after a sweaty workout. Would def recommend trying this out, so worth it. read more

So I thought I was in the best shape of my life, then I took a soils core class and was humbled. This class is so worth it and an excellent workout for the smaller muscles that we don't work that often. The energy is high with the music, yet the setting is still intimate. There are no more than 13 spots available for each class. The instructor comes around and helps you adjust for certain movements if need be. At the end of the class, since it was my first time it is recommended that I come back within a week so my muscles don't forget what they did. Looking forward to returning in the very near future. read more

As someone who likes to switch up my workouts and try new things, this class by far was one of the best that I've ever tried. The atmosphere and energy is incredible, and I was beyond impressed that it ended up being an entire full-body workout. I was quickly reminded the next day how much the class kicked my butt-- It was that good kinda sore! The instructor was well trained and made me feel very comfortable and welcome as well. read more

Always challenging and the class is small enough that instructors are able to focus on form. Highly recommend!

This is the most effective workout I have ever done. It is basically the same technique as Lagree Megaformer. Very intense, but absolutely non-impact, putting no stress or strain on your joints at all. The new Harbor East location is very nice but a bit too loud for my taste. There is no need to kill all our auditory neurons while kicking our butts! read more

It was the most challenging workout mentally but extremely rewarding being able to push myself through all those shakes! Jami did an awesome job during her coach in training class - so much positive motivation and encouragement! Will definitely be back to [solidcore] read more
