    Signed up for the 5am class and did back-to-back classes and I was surprised this location actually allows it because the studios in nyc only allow one class per day per studio unless you incorporate multiple Solidcore studios onto your day's play. The workouts are slow and controlled, and yet effective. The movements do vary from class to class. It's not recommended to go daily because the muscles do need time to repair and rebuild itself prior however you can go multiple times within the day if your muscles still got it. This is a boutique studio and it doesn't have a lounge or WiFi service. Also shot out to Maggie C. Her classes are awesome and you actually sweat. MISC. INFO. -workouts are done barefoot. You can either wear your footwear to the studio and leave it by your mega-reformer or leave it on the tray at the locker area. Note that you also have to step on the concrete floor sometimes during the workout. -don't bother to call the studio. There isn't anyone overseeing it. The instructors come when it's their time to teach and leave when they are done. -the music isn't as loud as they said. The volume was pretty decent... but if you are sensitive, they have earplugs outside and in the bathroom. -they have plastic bags like the ones at SoulCycle for your clothing and accessories. - the lockers have build-in locks. -they'll either text you or email you an entrance code before your class. -the resistant springs on the mega-reformer go from the lightest on the left to the heaviest on the right... white being there lightest and blue being the heaviest. -the instructors will hand you a wet wipe after each class to wipe down your reformer. -the workouts here target type 1 muscle fiber. -each class is worth 5 points. 10 classes within the first 60 days of signing up is worth an additional 100 points, downloading their app is worth 50 points, bring a friend is worth another 50 points. And you'll get a free class with 200 points accumulated.

    Tried my first Solidcore class today and it was AMAZING. The shakes and quakes, everything. Now I would like to say I am an active person and workout regularly, but this class was something different! I booked my class through ClassPass but also downloaded the app. The instructions did say to come in 15 mins early; but the door code only works 10 mins prior to class. This is a great idea, but I was there for a 6am class so standing outside in the dark was not ideal: thankfully their staff is in early and they let me in. Next time I'll show up 10 mins before class. The workout: the instructor gave me thorough instructions and set clear expectations for first class. He also showed me how the machine works, which was great. The workout itself was a challenge. Balancing on the moving seat is something I'll have to get used to. If you've hit a plateau in your Pilates or Barre class, definitely give this one a try!

    I absolutely love Solidcore. The instructors are so kind and inviting. It is so good for a hard workout that will not hurt your joints or cause injury. I had back surgery in April and cannot recommend Solidcore for back issues enough!! The studio is barebones so no shower or locker room just a heads up.

    Super clean!

    I've been taking classes at Boston Body Pilates in the Waterfront for about six weeks now, and my…read moreexperience has been overwhelmingly positive--especially thanks to Valencia, one of their instructors. She's a Black woman, and having that representation in a Pilates space genuinely matters to me. Starting where I started and seeing how far I've already come with her support has meant a lot. She remembers my name, makes me feel included rather than out of place, and gives hands-on guidance that actually helps me understand and correct my technique. It's the kind of attention that makes you want to keep showing up. From my very first day, I've also felt welcomed by Courtney, who greeted me when I walked in, and by Mallory, who's been responsive and kind over email. There's a sense of attentiveness throughout the studio that I really appreciate--especially with all the current conversations happening around inclusivity in Pilates spaces. Now, for the real talk: Communication They do say on their website that email is the best way to reach them, and they mean it. Calling is... hit or miss. I've called before and gotten no answer, and I've talked to other people who've had the same experience. So if you're looking for a quick phone response, good luck--you're better off emailing. Schedule & Space They offer classes seven days a week, with options in the morning, afternoon, and evening, which makes it easy to fit into any schedule. I'm also looking forward to exploring more of the studio, because they have different rooms with different machines and setups. Parking It's the Northend--so yes, parking is rough. You're likely paying $28+ unless you luck out with street parking. Keep that in mind when planning your trip. Location They're a bit tucked away. If you're taking a Lyft or driving, note that you can't just pull up right in front. They're located on the other side of Joe's (the restaurant). Once you figure it out, it's easy, but the first time can feel like a scavenger hunt. Other Note From time to time there's a dog in the studio, but I've never had it roaming around during class. Just something to know if you're allergic or prefer pet-free spaces. Overall, I've felt supported, included, and challenged in all the right ways. If you're considering trying Pilates--especially if you value representation, community, and instructors who actually pay attention--Boston Body Pilates Waterfront is worth checking out.

    Tried the mat and chair class at Boston Body Pilates for the first time with a friend, and we had…read moresuch a positive experience! Our instructor, Julien, was fantastic -- super welcoming, patient, and helpful throughout the whole class. She made it easy to follow along, even as first-timers, and her guidance really helped us feel comfortable and confident. The space was clean and calming, and the vibe of the class was just the right mix of challenging and supportive. I'm definitely planning to come back and would highly recommend it to anyone curious about trying Pilates! 10/10 would recommend!!

    Called ahead because the Boston Marathon had the entire area shut down. They said they'd "wait two…read moreminutes", then locked me out anyway at two minutes. Didn't answer the door or phone. Petty, inflexible, and honestly embarrassing behavior from a studio that isn't even a high end studio. It's not discipline, it's a desperate power trip. They'd rather shut the door in a paying client's face than use basic judgment. The instructor was Emma Cammer so not sure if she's to blame or the studio itself

    Now officially in the 250 club! I've been waiting for this day for a long time, especially because…read moreI lost one of my 100 club sock. PB was great to adapt to Covid, from reducing class size early on to quickly offering livestream classes. They initially offered livestream class through Facebook, and then set up its own website for recorded sessions. I've enjoyed the flexibility with livestream, especially I could take classes with instructors who I don't normally get a chance to! While I have been comfortable taking livestream sessions since Covid, it's only because I had plenty of in-studio experience, especially with modifications. I'd recommend anyone who is comfortable with going to studio take it in-person as opposed to virtual. The only thing is I wish the livestream is offered through Zoom. I talked to the instructors and inquired about Zoom as an option. However, because the class is so music driven, it's hard to get the correct microphone feedback over Zoom. The Boston studio is also located on the second floor of a building, slightly more tucked away than the Harvard Square location. It has two individual bathrooms and one changing room. Plenty of locker space and equipment for all. Before the pandemic, I've been here a bunch of times since you can take classes either at the harvard location or here. Now, you can take classes from any of the three locations: Brookline, Boston, or Harvard Square. Different instructors have different styles, and it will take you some time to find what's best for you. Angela is definitely popular here. I took two classes with Fiona, and loved her! I love Amanda, and am glad she is here temporarily for this summer! If you are brand new to barre, it will take you at least a week or so to fully adapt to its rhythms. The good news is they offer free Foundations class for new members, or you can always check out the intro class on YouTube to get a better idea on what to expect. The membership is not cheap, but comparable to other professionally owned gym or barre studios. They have membership sale from time to time (e.g., new membership for $99 for 3 months or 20% off of lifestyle membership), so definitely keep an eye on its marketing emails or social media and take advantage of that. I'd also recommend check with your work or insurance to see if you can get any partial reimbursement on fitness membership. Some other tips: 1. There is a 4-hour cancellation window, after that you will have to pay a late cancellation fee. If you are unsure of your schedule, you can always sign up at the last minute (if there is still room for the class). Also, be sure you are early or on time. Typically, you may be turned away if you are more than 5 - 7 minutes late for class, for safety reasons. 2. While some poses are hard, don't be afraid to modify them. Personally, I find myself better off without the weights for the weight section from time to time just to get the form right. Form over heavy lifting, as always. 3. Wear long pants! For top, I see a variety of sports bras or tank tops. While shorts are allowed, it is not recommended. Better with capri or 7/8 or full pants. Also, you can wear regular socks, but may find plank or other positions challenging. Most people have Pure Barre sticky socks (which I think is now $18 a pair). You can buy sticky socks on Amazon for a cheaper price.
