Drove an hour in pouring rain just to get turned away over being literally ONE minute late. Their policy is beyond ridiculous. Apparently missing the first few minutes means you're suddenly "not warmed up," as if 5 minutes in a 50-minute class makes any real difference. No flexibility, no common sense, no regard for customers who actually made the effort to show up. Just a rigid rule with zero accountability on their end. Wasted time, wasted gas, and a terrible first impression. If this is how they treat people over something this minor, don't expect any real customer service. read more

this was my first Pilates class and I accidentally signed up for like an intermediate instead of a beginners intro or whatever. While I really enjoyed the workout and how I felt after I did not appreciate the lady being pissed off the whole time. Homegirl kept aggressively yelling at me to not hold the bar and maybe I need to girl this is my first class not everyone is at the same level. She looked and acted like she was on testosterone. She's lucky I brought my neighbor and I was trying to play nice in front of her because were it just me there I would not have dealt with being talked to like that you could tell she was just an angry woman. Another thing I want to point out is it it's all abs here. Like the workout pretty much feels like you're holding a plank for one hour like they only work out the abs. Every other Pilates class I've seen or even the mat Pilates ones (I guess those aren't the real ones) I don't know they work out different muscles. But it's very core centered here so if you like that, go for it. But don't let these bishes try you that's all I'm saying hahaha. In my opinion f45 is a better work out if you're tryna hit alll the muscle groups. read more

It's not just a hobby but a lifestyle, I LOVE [solidcore]!!! If you are a first timer! Please read everything in detail! This location is fantastic. I'm always looking for new ways to stay active. Previously I was doing pilates at "club pilates" but the lack of availability and intensity left me unsatisfied. My friend took initiative to find a new Pilates gym and we definitely hit the jackpot of Pilates gyms with [solidcore] Montrose. I didn't know Pilates could get to this level of intensity. I love the energy the blue lights bring and I love how certain time slots have themes. I just attended "Swiftie Saturday" and I swear, one of the best work outs I've ever had. I love Taylor Swift! Denise P. And Stephanie S. are the absolute best! They are both so friendly and I love that they ask clients for feedback and for ideas for future themes. Denise brings the intensity! Her workouts go crazy, but a good crazy! Definitely has you pushing yourself to the limit! Stephanie is such a bright bubbly personality, I always feel motivated during her classes! And let me say, both their music tastes, phenomenal. They make the workout fun! They offer a variety of packages based of your needs, they also offer student discounts! They will definitely set you up with a plan to fit your needs! You buy a set amount of classes per month. And they have an app that keeps track of everything! Parking is easy if you know what to do! There's a parking garage you enter through Grant St. that's located at the building. You go to public parking, but DO NOT PAY TO PARK!!!! Solid core validates parking. All you have to do is park your car in the garage, go up the green stairs to ground level. When you exit the garage Solid Core is facing Crocker street, their next to "Hi skin." You will need a code to get in or there will be a person upfront that can open the door for you. The code to the door is given to you when you book a class through email or on the app!!!! After you finish your class you can scan a QR code at the front to validate your parking so you don't have to pay! Don't hesitate to ask for validation!!!!!! Other amenities they provide is -Lockers for your personal items -Hangers for your coats -Energy Drinks and water for purchase -Bathrooms with ponytail holders and female toiletries Gym equipment consists of a Pilates machine, dumbbells and bungee cord for the foot. And most importantly what I love about this gym is the community! We always Hi five our neighbors and give yourself a pat on the back. The community is very welcoming no matter your body type, level of experience and how you look! I never felt uncomfortable going to this gym. We are all there for a good, fun, work out! read more

I attend Solidcore once or twice a week and consistently have a fantastic experience. I've visited other locations, but the coaches here are my favorites. Shout out Denise and Stephanie!!! The facilities are always clean , and the vibes are always excellent. I highly recommend giving it a try. I've introduced some friends who are now members. Pilates is truly addictive. I've just completed my 25th class and am eager to continue progressing. read more

A super tough workout but fun at the same time! I enjoy the new challenge. The studio is clean and the staff is really motivating and explains all exercises as you go! They are very welcoming here to all fitness levels. Pilates is a low impact workout but super effective! I can't wait to come back!! I'd recommend parking in the parking garage. They do validate your ticket, too! read more

4.7 /5.0s Loved the vibe! The instructor (Stephanie T) was full of energy + had a bomb playlist! The class was the perfect challenge. Felt like Pilates on steroids. Brace yourself. Check in was seamless, love that you can book a class via the [solidcore] app. It gave bougie studio vibes...and the Montrose location was *chef's kiss* because of all the surrounding boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, & cafes. Valet parking is validated which we love! I'll be back but won't be a regular...nevertheless, it was cute! read more

Had a really great, tough workout! A lot of Pilates classes leave me wondering if I even did anything, but I left solidcore sore and feeling it! I mostly came to write this review to inform people about the parking as I couldn't find info on it online. I encourage you to find free street parking if you can! Read the signs well as there is no parking on certain sides of the surrounding streets and most said no parking 11pm-6am (so beware if you are going to their 5:30am classes and park on the street). I had no issues finding street parking on a Tuesday night but I'm sure weekends would be trickier. The Montrose Collective (large multi tenant building where solidcore is in a bottom floor suite off Crocker) has a parking garage which can be accessed near the back of the building. There were about 8 valet guys next to the parking garage entrances so you can valet or enter into the garage and self park. I'm not sure if valet has a certain rate vs tip only, but I took a picture of the garage rates for everyone's information. If you go to a 1 hour class and arrive early like you are supposed to, you are looking at paying at least $4.50+tax in parking for the garage!! My solidcore coach said they are working on trying to validate parking but that's not yet available. (As of March 2022) read more

Definitely loved my experience here! Had the full body class with Jordan and she was beyond helpful! I was extremely nervous about trying out Pilates, but she was very welcoming and made the entire experience great! I typically do spin or Orangetheory so this was definitely a bit different for me. I definitely recommend going in even if you are nervous, it is definitely worth it and seems like a great studio. I will definitely be going back! read more

Went for my first class using class pass it beat my ass that's for sure but Fatima was amazing! I had recently got a surgery done and she was super nice and told us newbies about modifications so we could still get our workout in but not do too much! I'll be back for sure! read more

This is not your average Pilates studio. I feel like people think that Pilates is usually very chill and flow like yoga but not this one. Your body will get wrecked in the 50 minutes that you spend in this place. read more

Omg yes!!! I went with my cousin to a session and omg yes!!! This studio is so cute and neat. Amanda worked Tf outta me !! I will be back!!

Not your regular pilates. A regular pilates studio and Solidcore do not compare. Has a bigger LIKE pilates machine, similar to lagree (also not pilates). Lots of core work which I love. All the instructors I've had are awesome! Coach Amanda's sassy/ bad B attitude I love. read more

Love the workouts at Solidcore, very challenging but in the best way. All coaches and staff are amazing, I especially love Kelly's classes!! Can't wait for my next class read more

I Arrived to my solid core montrose class 15 minutes early for the April 9th class at 9:05am with Jordan Hill. I was greeted at the door and checked in. And exactly 1 minute before class started I was told by the instructor Jordan Hill I had to leave because I brought my baby who was asleep in his car seat. The instructor had 15 minutes to address this if it was an issue, but rather waited until one minute before class was supposed to start. Nowhere in their policies or on their website does it say that I could not bring my baby. I've never had this issue at any other studio . It was classless and disrespectful to mothers. I will not be returning. read more

As a first timer to pilates, I was super excited to join. I had never been to Solidcore before and I've never been to a Pilates class before. I'm not sure how Pilates classes run but this company runs pretty badly. I was not excited about my Pilates experience at all, because I didn't even get to go into my class upon arrival. I didn't know that I had to have a code to open the door to enter the facility I look onto my email after I called the Solidcore number four times to try and reach someone to let me in to my class and no one picked up while searching through my email. I had no door code number sent to my email. I called three facilities. None of them picked up. I left a voicemail for each facility. No one has reached out to me and it has been over six days. I'm not one to leave reviews and I can understand how businesses run differently but I think it is unfair that as a first timer I had no knowledge of what to do once I get there as well as have no one to reach out to to help me with the difficulties that I'm having . I will say the class is pretty good after I finally was able to book one but the whole process of getting in the door is very aggravating and I've contacted as many people as I can to get a refund or some sort of reimbursement like another class to make up for the loss of the free class that I was promised once i paid. I can only critique the fact that the company does not have a receptionist in the front to help people understand their issues with the code to the door. read more
