I don't know what I was intimidated by, it is really easy to use and not scary! I like how they have a 'starter class' where they explain more about how to use the machine and what to do- this is what I took and was really helpful! They also showed me around the studio since it was my first time and made an effort to remember my name. I felt so comfortable! You can leave your belongings right with you, but they also have lockers. You wear sticky socks and stay on the same machine the whole class. It's dimly lit and the music is loud. They do a great job of explaining the exercises and also explaining modifications if you want to make it harder or easier. I love that it's a full body workout every time! I was sore for several days after my first class. The instructor is encouraging and gives feedback when needed as well as gives you a shoutout when she sees you doing something great! It's tricky to park but they have a deck close by and solidcore validates your parking- so nice!! I will definitely be back.

Class was small so really got a lot of great tips and direction from my instructor, Lindsey. BTW, Lindsey was awesome! The studio is really nice, clean and modern. Lockers are available, as well as drinks for purchase. Located in Southend on Hawkins St, right next to Emmy pizza. Definitely give Solidcore a try and get that full body workout!

The owner double dips on cancelations charges…read more You heard me, double dips. As in, charging you - charging me. The instructors are great, the workout is hard, but what makes it so hard to love this place is the owner. Instead of caring about his members and their enjoyment of the gym, all he focuses his time on is scamming his high-paying members on late charges. So if I add myself to a waitlist, and someone drops out at midnight, and now I've made other plans - thinking I can't get in this class - he CHARGES YOU! Get this, you're next in line... you actually go and fill the spot, HE STILL CHARGES ME! #MoneyGrab The owner's waitlist policy is disgusting, it's cheap and it's disgraceful. I've contacted my credit card company and the BBB as this is the 3rd time I've attempted to reason with him on this fraud. He couldn't care less and enjoying milking his members for all their worth. $22 is charged to you if you're on a waitlist and even say NO I can no longer attempt! Honestly, it's pitiful how he's grasping for $22 straws. See pics for examples.

If you're the type of person who loves to work out in a group setting, with a coach/instructor to…read moreguide you and help your form, all while getting the most intense core workout of your life, this is the perfect place for you! Note that the new NoDa CORE 704 is now by the shopping center at Amelie's, rather than at their previous location in a house across from Heist. I started coming here with a friend for a different workout (other than the gym and weights), and I became obsessed! The instructors really help you and guide you in your moves and form, so that you don't injure yourself. The workouts are easy to follow and you are able to adjust based on skill level. I always come to this place with fear, but leave feeling amazing and sore! I definitely would recommend this place to anyone!

This place is everything you would want in a Pilates studio and more. The reception area is open…read moreand welcoming, there are cubbies to put your bag and your shoes in, they sell DVDs and other Pilates ish, and there are bathrooms to change in. The practice area is beautiful; they are three separate rooms, one large room where there is a barre, 4 Cadillacs, and 4 reformers, another room for gyro-tonic, and a third room with a little bit of everything. All the rooms have hardwood floors and the walls are this refreshing light green color. The place is very calming and inviting. I have taken the Core Barre class on Tuesday night at 6:30 ($20) and the Reformer class on Thursday morning at 7am ($30). I highly suggest going to the Core Barre class to get a feel for the studio and then inquire about reformer classes. Their website has a lot of information about everything they offer. Tip: This place is not easy to find. You go down Fairview toward Cameron Valley Pkwy, flip a U turn at Cameron Valley Pkwy, and then take your first left into where all of the brick buildings are. They are back left if you were standing on Fairview. I suggest leaving early for class the first time you go in case you get lost like me :) Alas, you could probably walk in to class 5 mins late if it was your first time, they are very welcoming there.

It is so clean and fresh looking, and has the most up-to-date equipment I've seen. Allison (the office manager) is so welcoming and I always enjoy chatting with her before class. :) Monica (the owner) is a brilliant instructor. I love her Core Barre classes! I've been to so many other classes that leave me feeling exhausted, but she has a way of working every muscle, yet you always feel energized and fabulous when finished. I've also started Pilates private sessions...never knew that Classical Pilates was such a challenging workout nor that the Gratz equipment made such a big difference in feeling it in all the right places.

This was embarrassing since I fully purchased this class & booked it through the correct time slot. After the class the instructor asked me to contact the owner so she in no longer put in this position. I contacted them and their response was completely apathetic to the situation and they did not recognize the need to fix their website or offer an apology. They had total disregard for the situation they created and their language in response to my experience was patronizing.

What a great first time at Bar Method!!!…read more It's the new year and I've said for YEARS that I need to either join a yoga studio or go back to a bar class. I currently go to a gym but let's face it...I am getting up there in age and I can't be squatting jumping and pivoting like the young peeps anymore. They have three different themes (my current gym) so I'm only going to the strength focused classes. I need something else additional. I knew there was a barre studio near me so site unseen, I signed up for a small package online. Hahaha! When ya know..ya know, ya know? (Ha!) Like my first time at a barre class 9 years ago, I was slightly petrified. I'll be the new girl...who's 9 ft tall...who's not flexible at all. I knew I would stick out like a purple unicorn in a zoo (omg lol my description is hilarious so let's go with it) but honestly I am so determined to do more for myself and health I just had to breathe through that fear and I'm glad I did. Walked into a BEAUTIFUL space and was greeted. The instructor and the receptionist were both nice. They showed me the ropes and into class I went. The class was so good and just what I needed. Fast, efficient and brutal. Those 2 lbs weights start to feel like 10 lbs quickly. There are lockers, locker room and tons of merchandise. Beautiful and clean and calm space!! If you are looking to try it, just close your eyes, buy the class and GO! Your muscles and mental health will thank you later!

The studio has a very welcoming and boutique vibe even though it's a chain. All the instructors are so friendly, as is everyone at the front desk - who greet you by name.
