Rice village has another Pilates spot, and this one is definitely bougie! With its blue color theme and giant studio mirrors, Solidcore is aesthetically pleasing and bright. The schedule offers 45 min classes, with the goal to fatigue your muscles. The reformer machines looked new and clean, and you can adjust the resistance level on the machine for every exercises-- so newbies, don't be scared!
I don't frequent Pilates classes, but I feel like the instructor was more hands on in terms of correcting posture and walking around to check on everyone. I definitely had to look around a lot and follow along because the class kept moving. Thankfully, I brought earplugs for my sensitive ears; the music is banging (but it was good music :P)!
To enter, you'll need the door code you receive by text after signing up for a class. The classes are $36 each, but they have slightly discounted package deals or unlimited membership deals. It's a pricey way for me to get a workout, but it was a fun way to switch things up! My booty, obliques, and possibly my serratus muscles are still burning-- definitely a good way to target muscle groups I don't use very often. My friends are pilates fans so I bet I'll be splurging a bit more and coming back with them at some point! read more
