If you know you know! Solidcore is the fricken best. Usually it’s just a bunch of cool women and me, more guys should do it. Incredible workout. I feel so good after every class.

I’ve been going to solidcore for over a year now, but this was my first time at the dumbo location. I really wasn’t a huge fan, it seemed dirty almost? Also the machines on the right side are WAY to close to the mirror. The instructor cued incline chest press (I think?) on the grey side and I literally could not do the proper form because there was no room for me to get in a bridge position. I’m 5’7 for reference, so not even crazy tall. The instructor I had seemed nice, but needed to work on her cueing/corrections.

Standard solidcore experience. I do think the instructors here are better than usual, and I've had nothing but positive experiences here

I loved how close this studio was to my job, but im over going to this location. While the front desk is really kind and welcoming, and the instructors are terrific. The location itself is always dirty and the last time the water machine was broken. I don’t know if it’s this specific area but I’ve come across very entitled, nasty people at this location. Such as someone barking at me when I didn’t move fast enough for them to get into their locker. It always feels like the A/C is broken or not working properly? Anyway I love SC but I think I’ll stick with the studio in my neighborhood from now on. For almost $50 a class you think that they would try to at least make the place clean.

I am new to this workout, but, if you're expecting a human touch, this place isn't it. Even when there's no impact from rescheduling classes (i.e. neither the class you signed up for nor the one you want to switch to is full, and they have the same teacher) Solidcore insist you lose a credit or pay a penalty to switch. This workout is too expensive to justify that. This is a silly policy and effectively means it's a punishment, not something that otherwise affects the corporate bottom line. I tried calling and the on-site staff is apparently not empowered to exercise any judgment in the matter. I hope this organization will consider revisiting this senseless policy.

Nice ambient small Pilates studio, the sounds of the music blended with the enthusiastic instructor was too much, great for hardcore intense focusing. the sliding pads are difficult to manage and can be dangerous of not held on correctly. Please beware full and take the beginners class if your a first time, don't just jump into the deep end.

Love the instructors and workout but I have to say, they did “renovations” a few months ago that have not improved the space whatsoever. The coat rack is smaller and now in the way of foot traffic, people leave their shoes right below it, chairs are in the way, there are no longer surfaces to place down your stuff to take your coat off besides the dirty floor, the trash cans are in odd places that are out of the way. Not sure who’s genius idea these changes were, but wish they’d bring the old format back to make better use of the space.

Hardest workout class I've ever taken but I had an incredible experience in Coach Virginia's class. As a first-timer, I truly appreciated how clearly she explained everything, ensuring I understood each movement. She provided constructive feedback on my form, helping me maximize my workout and perform with confidence. Her balance of positive reinforcement was motivating and encouraging, letting me know when I was on the right track.

Like the previous comment mentioned, the customer service in this location is terrible. I wasn’t aware of the 5 minute late policy and the way the receptionist didn’t let me inside was not a good experience. She was smirky, cold and not polite. I payed money and was left embarrassed. That should not be an experience for anyone, let alone loyal customer who was never late before. Won’t be taking solidcore anymore, back to Ritual Movement

Mixed experience - great workout, but major drawbacks:

I’ve been going to this gym for a while now, and I can only give it a partial recommendation. The workouts themselves are tough and effective, and the instructors are fantastic – they really know what they’re doing and push you to get the most out of every session.

However, the facility is another story. It’s consistently dirty. The floors, lockers, and even the bathrooms are often covered in hair, dirt, and trash. It’s hard to overlook this, especially when you're paying a premium for a membership. The cleanliness of the space really needs attention. It’s currently unacceptable.

Speaking of the membership, it’s incredibly expensive for what you’re actually getting. When you compare the quality of the facility and services to the price, it just doesn’t add up.

Another major downside is their class rescheduling policy. You can’t modify the time you’re signed up for less than 10 hours before the class without losing a credit or being charged a fee. This feels very inflexible and as though the company doesn’t prioritize customer experience. It’s frustrating when life happens, and you can’t adjust your schedule without penalty.

Overall, if you're looking for a solid workout and great instructors, this gym has it. But unless you're okay with the cleanliness issues and a strict, inconvenient class policy, I’d say there are better options out there.

I had an unfortunate experience at this location. I visited recently and encountered extremely poor customer service. The staff member I interacted with was unresponsive and dismissive, which left me feeling disrespected and frustrated. When I tried to communicate, I was ignored, and the situation escalated unintentionally.

While I understand that accidents can happen in high-stress situations, the way this was handled by the customer service representative was unacceptable. I hope the business takes steps to improve how they handle customer interactions, as professionalism and empathy are crucial when addressing customers.

Solidcore changed my life; I always hated people that said stuff like that, but here I am. Try a few instructors to find a good fit. Completely transformed my joint stability with all of the slower-paced movement. It's not Pilates, it's Pilates' identical cousin.

This was my first time taking a Pilates class which has been on my to do list. Portia conducted the class that I enrolled in and she was helpful and amazing. It was a struggle initially but I would definitely love to come back and try it out again in the future.

Very high energy and very tough workout. The group setting was fun. A bit expensive but worth it if you can afford it.

Difficult, but rewarding workout. I sometimes get dizzy with the kids music, so I suggest ear plugs
