Don’t know why this place has a low rating. Staff were so friendly and helpful. They also had a collab with Grüns which I’ve been wanting to try and they gave me a pack 10/10!

I've been here a few times and really like this location. It's convenient for me to drop in before or after work, and I appreciate that it's never too crowded--no waitlists or packed classes. The instructors are always friendly and helpful, making each visit a great experience. :)

The entire franchise trains their instructors terribly. The instructors do no let you get through a single rep before they’re changing the variation again so you never feel like you can actually figure out what’s going (it’s my sixth class btw like I have tried to figure it out) but they play the music so loud and the instructors both mumble and never stop talking so you can’t tell when they’re yelling stupid shit and when they’re giving actual instructions. The policy also seems to be for the instructors to lie about where you are in the routine no matter what and it’s made me lose all respect for them and just makes me want to walk out of every class when we’re on our fifth “last one!” Don’t waste your money or time just go to bodyrok which is where I should have stayed

Echoing the reviews below about the front desk staff. It’s pretty sad that they are minimum wage hourly employees and Solidcore has no interest in improving that at all. But what’s more sad is how the front desk staff of this specific location is channeling that frustration into how they treat the customers. In this particular case, the blond front desk girl’s behavior is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful, it’s funny because it’s almost like a clip of Mean Girl just came out off her. When I arrived 5 min later than the grace period, I was trying to figure out a solution with one of the other front desk staff. She asked to see my ClassPass so there I was heads down searching on my phone, the same staff asked me to come down the steps. Long and behold before I could respond, this mean blond woman shouted out loud “I guess not” in the most sarcastic manner. I’d take her picture of her face so everyone here would remember who NOT to interact with. But I also don’t think I’d want that face in my phone. Lol

The class its self was great! I really enjoyed it. Ashley was very helpful constantly checking in with me. However let’s talk about the awful customer service from the check in staff. I arrived 3 mins before class started, someone opened the door for me, I didn’t know about the door code, she came walking up the steps with no urgency like I was interrupting her day. When I apologized about the train delay she looked bothered and just looked me up and down. She made me feel out of place. When I told her I had tried calling she said oh we were busy, did you try again, I said I’ve been trying since 8am she said we are helping other reformers, I said no you actually have voicemail that’s full. No answer. She said well you could have emailed. I said well I called to see if you have a shower and she said no. Again looking at me up and down. She made it seem like only locals that live near by get to come here. Like no one goes to work after wards. Honestly if I dared answer a client the way she answered me I would be fired immediately. What kind of Customer service is that. Would I return? Nope not to this location. Especially since they don’t have showers. Do better. Be nicer. Smile, that’s why you have 4 people to a class that holds 30. You act entitled. No one will return.

Good workout to sweat but certain movements are questionable especially as it's still from the basis of pilates but no one checks your posture n makes sure ur body is moving or in the right position and they seem to do a lot of the same things over n over n plenty of times work one side of the legs but not the other. Its also too expensive especially to do all the time...

most ridiculous place ever! No one was in the front desk when I arrived, and not letting me go in the studio because I was 5 mins late! What a joke

Great workout! Sometimes I find a coach or two that I don’t vibe with so I just choose days/coaches that I like. Workouts vary each week so I also try to choose different muscle groups being worked. Count on being VERY sore on your first day! Love being pushed while also being allowed to take breaks at my own pace as needed. Also love that there’s ALWAYS a way to grade an exercise up or down so I’m always challenged regardless of whether this is class #1 or #25!

I went to my 1st Soldicore Class Arms +Abs with Teresa as my instructor. Loved every minute of it, challenging but very rewarding. As a first timer Teresa helped me understand the equipment and allowed me to take my time. I left the class feeling stronger, definitely going back in the future.

I have not taken any classes here but these are their rules :

A single class is valid for 30 days only and cost 40 USD

Their term and conditions state you can request a cancellation if you send a LETTER by mail within 3 days of purchase knowing full well that US postal system takes longer than 3 days unless you pay 24 usd for express service

I think this is v sneaky. I certainly won’t book them again and I hope they can use my 40 dollars well.

Email not sure when they respond certainly not same day and calling you only get voicemail

I’ve been going to Solidcore for three months now and it’s been transformational. I feel so much stronger and leaner. You really do get a full body workout in 50 minutes and I love the rotating upper and lower body focuses but the constant focus on core and obliques (I started going for lower back issues so core was very important for me). I usually hate working out but the results I’ve been seeing at Solidcore makes me motivated to go regularly.

I go to various studios around the city if I’m meeting up with friends but Grand Central is my “home base” studio. I love all the instructors here, especially Riley and Inger. They remember your name and little things about you and make the workouts fun with killer playlists and encouragements. My favorite thing is that none of the coaches pressure or “shame” students to push harder - they fully recognize that this is a very hard workout and that you’ll put on what you can handle. Can’t say enough good things about the team here - give it a try!
