Loved my experience at Solidcore! I decided to take a 5 a.m. class while traveling for work, and I’m so glad I did. The instructor was incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout my first Solidcore session. The workout was fast-paced, energizing, and such a fun twist on traditional Pilates. Great studio, great instructor — I’ll definitely be seeking out Solidcore wherever I travel next!

***Updating my review because the Area Manager (Grace) took the feedback and made changes, and the coach has been more supportive and inclusive and that has really helped ensure a more positive class experience for me. I appreciate Grace for considering the member in her interactions with clients. Thank you!

Been coming here for some time and even though most the coaches are on their game and supportive, I am disappointed in how one of the senior coaches here (who always fills up classes in the evenings) handled a class and forced me to move reformers without asking about my experience or communicating and just assumed I should be in the center of the class, which made me very uncomfortable and felt singled out. She also twisted my body to the point it started hurting (despite physical signs and pulling back that I was uncomfortable). I was a bit taken aback by the experience since I have taken a lot of classes, but never had someone force me onto a different reformer like that. This coach was also recently promoted to senior level even when I don’t really feel they were genuinely supportive to me, it felt more like their teaching style is intense and a bit fake.

Instead of seeing this as valid feedback to improve though, I really felt the HCCM moreso defended this coach, saying she was a “great coach” even when she made me uncomfortable and excluded. I did also communicate to the coach at the time but did not feel heard despite the HCCM sort of implying that I had not communicated. Having high level energy/charisma is one thing but not being supportive for all your clients is another, and this coach did not make me feel supported in her class, after this experience.

In a second class I took, after she received the feedback, this coach didn’t really acknowledge me/do much shout outs and I felt like I was sort of ignored even after she received this feedback from leadership. If Solidcore wants to support their clients, they do need to seriously take the feedback and feelings into account of their clients. Regardless of whether it was an “eval” class, supporting your clients is NOT the same as forcing them somewhere else and making them uncomfortable from the start. This coach came off way too strong, and this takes away from feeling genuinely supported.

Overall I did not feel the HCCM sufficiently acknowledged how this coach made me feel at the time, sort of putting it on the member moreso than the coach for their mistakes.

Coach Sara has the best sequences though that really engage your muscles and is the most experienced coach there. The parking situation is somewhat difficult since mosaic district is usually packed with people so it’s hard finding a spot unless you walk 10 min from the garages. The other spots are only 15 min curbside. They have diverse clientele and I’ve seen at least a few guys attending, moreso than at other locations. Overall it’s a good studio (minus the bad experience I had here with a senior coach). I do think the studio is understanding when it comes to other situations, l just hope that they improve how they communicate to and support their clients if a coach is making someone feel uncomfortable or unsupported.

Solidcore Mosaic is such a great studio! The classes are consistently challenging—expect to shake, sweat, and feel muscles you didn’t know you had. The coaches are super encouraging and do a great job guiding you through the slow, controlled movements that make Solidcore so effective.

The Mosaic location is also a huge plus. There’s ample parking in the garage, and it’s free for a few hours, which makes getting in and out stress-free. After class, you’re right in the heart of Mosaic District with tons of great spots to grab a smoothie, coffee, or a full meal—perfect for a post-workout reward.

Highly recommend this location for both the workout and the convenient, lively atmosphere around it!

The instructors are great cheerleaders and very informative. I’ve been in a car accident and hadn’t worked out in three months due to injury. They walked me through how to modify and were very encouraging to take breaks when needed. I have already seen results in a few weeks.
For parking, there is a garage to the right of the studio. You have to drive around to the back and then can walk through to the front. If it’s your first time going to this location I recommend you come early so that you can get the parking figured out.

I will start by saying the instructors are great and informative. Parking absolutely is terrible especially when you have to be there 10 minutes early so you can’t do this on your lunch break and need to account for extra time. I am however dissatisfied with the cancellation fees they charge. I understand the reason for them but for someone like myself who has never done Pilates in my life and wanted to try it I bought a two week pass. Not understanding how sore I might be I did have to cancel a few classes but when doing them still gave them plenty of notice to the point that they always filled the spot. If I was a member or more seasoned I could see this charge but honestly it is a nice and dining game which doesn’t make it inviting. I still have days left but will not be going back.

I have tried to get a hold of this location to no avail. I cannot use my class by 01/03 due to traveling and an injury. I need it extended but no one has called me back. This is NOT how to treat your paying customers for expensive classes. I do NOT recommend going to this location.

Class instructions were very confusing as this instructor spoke too fast with unclear words as when to stop/start to the next moves ...she knew most were still new to the class. Her words did not provide clear instructions on next steps and moves. Most in the class (arms, legs wrap) were looking at each other for the moves. She kinda assumed you knew what the moves mean and how to do it. At least the music wasn't super loud like other studios. Overall, an ok workout but I was guessing on when to push/pull or pulse or not. That's not why I went into a studio to workout. I will not continue with more classes because of this experience. Not for me.

Solidcore Mosaic is such a great studio with awesome coaches!
I started recently and now have 11 classes under my belt between this studio and the one in Tyson's.
I live closer to this one since it is more convenient, but I thoroughly enjoy my experience every time! I have been raving about it to my husband and friends, and got one of my gfs to join me in my Sunday workout yesterday :)
Keep it up Mosaic team!

This place has made me [strong] and [sweaty] consistently for the past 2+ years!! I never knew how weak I was until taking a class here. The instructors are motivating and encourage you to get out of your comfort zone. I’m so glad I found [solidcore]!! 💪🏾👍🏽

There was a time I thought that I was in pretty good shape. Then I went to solidcore. Get ready to sweat & feel like jell-o afterwards! I wish I had unlimited cash money to go here every damn day

For those of you posting reviews about a single unfortunate incident with the owner, shame on you. Judging an entire studio based on that misrepresents what all the coaches and the studios strive to bring their clients. I have been taking classes at SolidCore for over a year and have over 440 classes under my belt. Mosaic is a very friendly, accepting studio with one coach in particular who kicks my behind each and every time. Because of SolidCore I am much stronger, healthier, much more flexible and have met a number of wonderful, uplifting, positive and accepting people. Yes, it has gotten pricey and the new machine needs some upgrades, but outside of that, an excellent experience.
