They really need better cleaning services. There’s caked up dead skin under all the springs on every reformer.

I purchased my first class via ClassPass and upon arriving to the studio was told I could not enter the advanced class as a first-time client. I traveled down to the studio and paid for parking only to be told 5min before the session started that I had to leave. I respect that this is their studio policy, but their online/ClassPass registration should be updated to avoid confusion. They claim an email should have been sent but I never received an update from SolidCore or ClassPass, only my class registration confirmation. An email or phone call in advance of me traveling to the studio would have been much appreciated.

I took T’ianna class at SolidCore Center City today, and it was everything I hoped for. I spent the morning reading reviews, and so many people had amazing things to say about her—I had to sign up. From the moment I walked in, she felt like a big sister. During class, it was like she knew exactly when I needed help and would subtly demonstrate without making me feel called out. Afterward, even with her next class walking in, she sat with me, encouraged me, and told me how strong I was. It truly made my day. It was the only workout I did today, and it was more than enough. She absolutely deserves her flowers, and I can’t wait to take her class again. Thank you, T’ianna

I love it here!! The coaches are amazing. They do a great job of making sure you push yourself. No excuses. They support you & are encouraging. I’ve been going for about 4 months. Though it’s challenging I’ve seen changes physically/ mentally in & outside of those blue lights. Best decision I’ve made & I’m excited to see my results in the next year. This for sure has become more then a fitness journey. It’s a lifestyle.

I am writing to express my considerable disappointment with my recent experiences at Solid Core. Despite my enthusiasm for the classes offered and my commitment to attending despite challenging weather conditions, I have faced considerable inconvenience due to the center’s policy and management practices.

Firstly, the inconsistency in the application of rules is disheartening. I understand the necessity of maintaining strict attendance policies; however, I find it unjust that clients are penalized for arriving mere minutes late due to unforeseen circumstances, such as inclement weather, while the center reserves the right to cancel classes with less than an hour’s notice. This asymmetry not only disrupts clients’ schedules but also reflects poorly on the establishment’s regard for customer time and commitments.

Moreover, the lack of adequate communication and compensation for such last-minute cancellations adds to the frustration. As customers, we plan our schedules around these sessions, often making significant personal sacrifices to attend. The expectation that clients show understanding and flexibility should be reciprocated by the service provider.

I had hoped for a more professional and considerate approach from Solid Core, especially considering the commitment and investment clients make towards their health and fitness through your services. Unfortunately, my experiences have fallen short of these expectations, leading to not only personal inconvenience but also a reconsideration of my patronage.

I urge the management to review and amend these policies, ensuring fair treatment and respect for all clients’ time and commitments. It is in the interest of both Solid Core and its clientele to foster an environment of mutual respect and understanding.

Respectfully,
Jeff

Most inconvenient location for people who don’t already live in the area. Zero parking and hard to locate.

Went to Solid Core for the first time today with my girlfriend (She’s been raving about it). Had an awesome experience with coach Liz! She was super encouraging and directional which made the class zoom by. Would recommend to anyone looking to get out of the norm!

If you’re looking for a positive and badass group fitness environment [solidcore] is your place. The Center City classes are always filled with a hardworking crew and the best coaches bringing good vibes and a (very) hard and humbling workout with good tunes to get me through. 2 bathrooms + a changing room (no showers) and lockers for stashing your belongings. Front door is also code locked - I typically go to the early morning classes during the week (I bike or bus - haven’t had issues on the block!) and it’s the absolute best way to start my morning. My membership is worth every $$ —you really can’t replicate this workout on your own or anywhere else. And extra shoutout to my fav instructors Molly and Tori if you’re looking for recs!!

Awesome classes, totally a mental game as well as physical. Would probably be a lot for a beginner because it's like EXTREME pilates but a great challenge. I'm a powerlifter who hates working abs but now that I do solidcore my core feels stronger than ever.

I came to my first class today (04/22/2022) thanks to Jess reaching out to me and being so kind and giving me a tour and letting me know who my coach is (Amanda) and I honestly found my place to go to work out and feel so proud about it!

Amanda, my coach made the class fun but also challenged me, though the class is shared with several other people, Amanda corrected my posture when needed and was such an amazing help and giving encouragement when needed.

SolidCore is what I exactly needed in my life and I’m so happy to make an investment in my well being.

The area is well kept and clean, bathrooms are tidy and stocked with things you didn’t think you needed after your workout but it’s so kind how they think of their clients.

I highly recommend SolidCore if you’re serious about challenging yourself — I can’t wait for my next class.

Solidcore is one of the best investments I have made. The workout is unlike any other I have done when it comes to working your core. The coaches are very knowledgeable, kind and funny. I love the variety of exercises and how effective they are at targeting different muscle groups. There are so many classes available everyday that you’re bound to find one that fits your schedule. Booking and keeping track of your classes is very convenient using the app. I highly recommend trying at least one class!

Solidcore is a challenging workout that can either be a go-to, stand-alone regimen or a complement to other activities. The coaches here are welcoming, friendly, and know how to modify exercises for any fitness level. The individual instructors also have their own individual personalities and styles, while working within the rubric of muscle-group focus set for any particular day by headquarters. There are classes offered throughout the day, so you can fit a session in to a busy work schedule. The studio space is clean and the equipment is well-maintained.

I love that it’s low impact and doesn’t require a crazy amount of energy but after consistently going for a couple of months I do feel how solid my core is (which I’ve never felt in my life before). The studio is pleasant and all the coaches are really nice.

This is an unbelievable full body workout! I took a 1-1 session with the studio manager, Tori and it was amazing! She was so nice and attentive and patient with me as I learned. I would highly recommend a 1-1 session with her if you are new to the Solidcore workout. Can't wait to go back!

This is the most intense studio workout I've ever done and I love it. Even going just once a week yields results. I like the fast pace and the instruction style...it's a good distraction from the pain. I wish I could scrounge up the money to go more often!

I've been to this studio quite a few times and every single time I am there I feel like family. The community is amazing, the workout is even better. The manager, Alex, goes above and beyond in class and makes sure every single person feels determined, motivated and empowered. It is the perfect workout for every person no matter the fitness level. Every class is a definitely a challenge and never the same. Everyone I know that I have told to go ends up loving it and going back. You won't regret it!
