First things first, I do love this place. Like most people, I was coerced by a so-called friend into taking a class. Was sore for days, couldn't cough or laugh without everything hurting. Immediately was hooked. I ended up getting the 4 classes per month membership and it's plenty to keep me engaged without burning out. Literally, because these classes are insanely hard. Overall facilities are nice, I wish there were showers or even more than just 2 bathrooms because I'd prefer to take a class before heading into the office but do need to get ready. It also gets a little cramped in there sometimes. I get that classes fill up so having the extra machine or two can make a difference, but there are times I feel like I might be holding hands with my neighbor. read more

Although the start is tough and classes are crazy tough and practically effective in making members feel involved, the facility lacks facilities, namely showers and tight space, which makes the professional hard to go through with the transition between a workout and an office. read more

I absolutely love Solidcore. It is a very humbling workout even if you're in the best shape of your life. I love the studio gym vibe. And in only 50 minutes you can get a good shake and sweat. I just wish the music wasn't so loud. Feels like I'm in a nightclub and I can't hear what the instructor is saying. That's really the only downside. read more

Solidcore is an amazing workout! This is one of the hardest workouts I have ever done but I love the challenge and can't wait to see myself continue to improve. read more

I LOVE solid core - they truly get your butt kicked each class. They have easy free parking in the parking lot below.

Took my first solidcore class this past week. It was easy to sign up for class on the app and the stuff was friendly. They do not have a separate waiting room. Make sure to don't walk in before 10 min prior to class- you will walk right into the studio into a class. Class was challenging but doable. The instructor was great and very helpful during the quick transitions. Will be back read more

I'm so glad I have Solidcore try, it is now a weekly exercise for me and I have become stronger and fitter thanks to this workout. I signed up for ClassPass about a year ago and one of the recommended exercises for me is Solidcore. I started going and haven't stopped! I find that the exercises are cheaper through ClassPass than a membership directly through Solidcore, but at the same time I can't always get into the classes I want to take because there is a limited amount of ClassPass spots available. One small negative is how loud the music is at this location. I get that I am about a decade older than most individuals who work out here but I just don't see the benefit of super loud music that forces the coach to basically yell. read more

Can confirm: I am unbelievably sore the day after this workout! Probably one of the biggest butt-kickers I've had in years. I came here on ClassPass - I've done a bit of Pilates before but was so curious about this style of class. I love that they're in West End - the underground free garage parking is a huge perk! It wasn't too full when I came on a weekday early evening. Come up the middle of the garage to L1, go outside, and turn left and you'll see the entrance. The door is keypad locked: you'll get the code when you sign up for a class! I was instantly greeted by the instructor Dylan: he welcomed me and showed me around the area. I put my stuff down by a machine went and got changed in one of the two bathrooms. Note: there are no showers or formal locker rooms here. We had a few minutes before class, so Dylan graciously walked me through how the machine works and what to expect in the class. I felt so welcomed! He greeted folks as they came in, and fellow classmates greeted each other. I could really tell this is a supportive and tight-knit community, and that they really like him. Class time! The lights dim to a blue ambiance, Dylan's mic goes up - and so do the jams. For me, the loud music and instructions drowned out my thoughts of how hard the workout was, but I could see why they put earplugs out! Dylan gave play-by-play instructions throughout the 50 minute workout: we started with core, then one side of legs, then three arm sets, then the other leg set, then a finishing burnout. This workout is SO challenging - everything is balance and resistance! Trust me: you will feel this. I was literally shaking at the end in the best way possible. Dylan provided assistance and adjustments throughout and encouraged the class. The class gave me a round of applause for my first workout, and a few classmates came up to me to say good job. As our class ended and the other started, I could really feel the positive vibes. This is an amazing workout with a great community and instructor(s)! While the price point is pretty steep, I can definitely tell it's high value. read more

I tried Solidcore during their summer introduction deal of 2 classes for $28 - a great promotion! The studio itself is tiny, but functional! I wish there was a little more room to get prepared for class, but that's no biggie. The class is like extreme Pilates - all done on a mega reformer! I would classify myself as someone very fit - since I strength train daily and add in cardio + fitness classes. This class was HARD! I'm not very coordinated, so getting used to the machine was a bit difficult. It is also not very short-person friendly! Overall, I got a great sweat and soreness from the class. The biggest downside to me was that this is not beginner friendly, especially with the machines. The coach doesn't demonstrate the moves, they just yell out what to do and try to verbally help you adjust as best you can. The class is also extremely fast paced, and hard to hear the coach over the music. I consistently felt about 3-5 beats behind the class making me feel very out-of-it. I didn't love that it was encouraged to look at the people around you for queues, rather than an instructor. Overall, great workout - however with the high normal price point ($33/class or $100/4 classes a month) and lack of coaching/demonstration, I will not be returning. read more

Solidcore - St Louis Park - Gyms Near Me - St. Louis Park, Minnesota

Solidcore is my new favorite place. Not only was my body sore the following day but I felt like a new woman after this class! It worked every part of my body in the best way and I was shocked at how effective the movements are. I chose to not wear Pilates socks to this class but if you have a fear of falling I would recommend the socks. The room does get darker during the class but the blue lights provide a sufficient amount of light and mystery! So pumped to go to Solidcore again in the future. read more

10/4/22: Overall 4.5 stars. I came here during my visit, thanks to my ClassPass account. I never, ever pay drop in rates at boutique studios. I get them for a fraction of the cost! PM me if you want to get a free trial, as I love being able to workout & do beauty/self care stuff, no matter where I am in the country! You need a code to enter the main studio door, which for the life of me, I couldn't get to work lol but of course, it worked for the girl behind me! I love that you have to remove your shoes upon entering. That way you know when you're walking inside the workout area, it's clean. Same thing with the bathrooms too (unless the bathroom floor is dirty, then barf! lol). They have ear plugs (they blast the music loud!), mints & hair ties at the front desk. I like that there's sanitizing wipes as well. There are 2 bathrooms, which are well appointed with feminine products, face wash, dry shampoo, deodorant & lotion. That was a nice touch! The cute wall sign is backwards, so when you take a selfie, the sign is backwards. There are 16 machines that are extremely crammed next to each other and it gets HOT in there from the class prior. Here's where they lose some points with me: - Very hot in the studio. It was mid-70s when students asked the instructor to turn on the AC! It should've been on from the beginning. I thought I was gonna pass out, it was so hot! Normally, this would make me drop more stars, but because everything else was pretty good, I only took off .5 stars - No towels. Would've been nice to have at such an expensive studio, but I didn't dock off any points, as some high end studios provide, others don't. But since it gets so hot in there, they may wanna consider either providing towels, and/or turning on AC - I'm no stranger to this type of workout (it's my fave). I wasn't a fan of the core sequence. It seemed really long. I'm used to more variety. I didn't dock off stars for this either, as this is just a personal preference of mine - Would've liked hands on corrections But instructor styles were pretty motivating, and great music. Whenever I'm in town, and staying in the area, I will always come here to get my shakes on! Hopefully, the classes I end up taking will have better temperature. With all the pluses and amenities, they definitely deserve a round up to 5 stars! I'll be back! read more

If you want an incredibly hard workout that will leave you dripping sweat and sore for days, head to Solidcore. They encourage you to reach what's called "stage 2 muscle failure" which means you're shaking during the workout. It's pretty intense. I tried Solidcore through a deal on Mind & Body app and got two classes for $30 or so. I ended up not going back for my second class because it wasn't a good fit for me, but it was a damn good workout. That being said, Solidcore is not beginner friendly. As a first-timer, I was told to arrive 15 min early and I'd be walked through the studio, moves, etc. The instructor, Hannah, was very friendly and explained the reformer machine to me briefly. She encouraged me to go in the middle of the class so I could look at others during the class to get a feel for the moves, forms, etc. During the class, the instructor is not doing the moves with you which I found made the class much harder. You move very very fast from move to move with very little explanation of what form should look like and how you should be moving. As a beginner, I really struggled with knowing what I should be doing. It would be really beneficial to have an instructor in front of you doing the workout with you. This class was pretty intimidating for someone new to Pilates - I've done a lot of workout classes and am pretty fit, but this was a big challenge for me. All in all - crazy workout that leaves you sore for days, but I won't be returning just based on the lack of instruction and class structure. read more

I absolutely LOVE Solidcore! Hands down the hardest workout I've ever done (didn't think I was going to make it through the first class), but feel so so good after! The energy is great & super motivating. read more

Solidcore - St Louis Park - Gyms Near Me - St. Louis Park, Minnesota

The BEST WORKOUT!!! Seriously so addicting I love it! It's a little pricey, but certainly worth it in my opinion.

Absolutely loved the all-body class on Wednesday nights! Lagree is an intense workout, and even though everyone in my class of 10 looked really fit, we were definitely all getting a sweat in. Every part of my body was SHAKING at one point of the 50 minute class. I loved it. If it's your first class, let the instructor know (Courtney was amazing!) and they will give you the rundown on the carriage and guide you through the class of veterans. You will be sore, but its definitely a soreness that you get addicted to! read more

Don't underestimate this workout. I was excited to see Solidcore was coming out to Minneapolis. I had been hearing great things about it from my DC friends and as soon as they opened here I knew I had to try it. The studio is small with only 10 Megaformer Machines - meaning you're going to get a LOT of attention from the trainer. I was nervous because it was my first class and had no idea what to expect but the trainer Tyler and owner Alyssa did a great job explaining everything and making me feel comfortable. Class started out with Tyler showing us the moves he'd be calling out and how to do them. They seemed easy enough as he was demonstrating, but about 3 minutes into the workout I was already sweating and discovering muscles I hadn't used in years. The class was great - it was high energy with great music that helped you try to keep your mind off of how sore you were. Tyler was very motivational and helped get us through the class. If you're looking for a fast-pace, intense workout definitely checkout Solidcore. This is a great addition to the West End! read more

I was able to attend another sponsored class and enjoyed it more. The workout was much better balanced and we did moves that really utilized the unique machines. I got a full body workout that got my heart rate up and was adaptable to my strength level. The music was awesome and so was the instructor. I just can't give this place 5 stars because it's out of this world expensive. I would be considered well-to-do by many but there's just no way I can spend that much on a single workout. At least not until I get another raise or two. read more

Solidcore - St Louis Park - Gyms Near Me - St. Louis Park, Minnesota

Have been coming here for about a month now and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I have fallen in love with the amazing workouts, and find the staff to be so supportive. I am not one to be motivative to go to the gym, or even know what to do when I am there. When I am at solid core everything is explained in a way that makes the workouts easy to follow along with. I'm always finding that in my workouts with Sam she is making suggestions for modifications for dancers. Being a dancer it is important to me that I am working out my body in the correct form. Just about every instructor will be able to help you with tailoring your workouts to your lifestyle. If I was not a student and able to get discounted student prices, I might have given this review 4 stars. The classes can be very expensive, which limits the people who are able to attend. For example, my mother would love to come workout with me, but she does not feel that the membership prices suit people who only want to take 2 classes a week. read more

I am new to this city and was so excited to check out Solidcore in ST. Louis Park, MN. My experience here was absolutely horrible. First off, I was not greeted when I walked in. I made sure to come during an off peak time when no classes were taking place so I could get a feel of the studio, maybe meet an instructor or discuss class practices, new client specials etc. (it was 11:45am on a Sunday) Instead, when I asked the blonde at the front desk if she could tell me a bit about Solidcore and how the classes are here. She snapped at me, "All the information is online!" and rolled her eyes and acted like I was bothering her. She was clearly more invested in talking to her friend than she was introducing a potential new client to the studio. I am absolutely appalled that this is how I was treated. I am heavily involved in the boutique fitness scene in NYC and would NEVER treat anyone the way she treated me. There are dozens of other boutique fitness spots in this city--I won't be back. I'd rather go to Barry's where they treat everyone with respect. read more

Took my first class yesterday and am already obsessed. I live out of state and immediately checked to see if we have one, and sadly, we do not. :( anyways, if you live in Minneapolis and want an awesome workout I highly recommend checking out Solidcore. What I like about them over other Pilates reformer studios is: - clean, modern studios - skilled instructor/staff - special class lighting (its dark with fun colored lights - kinda like a spin class!) - great music so you don't have to listen to an instructor talk at you - high quality equipment Only tiiiiiny suggestion would be to have instructors mic a little louder. Maybe bc I'm part hard of hearing. Protip: go to wayzata studio for special $15 night classes! read more

"I've run marathons before so this should be easy" was what I thought to myself as I walked into Solidcore for my first workout. Only after enduring what would be 50 mins of pure hell (in a hurts so good kind of way) did I find out why my friends had been raving about SC's intense workouts. The studio space is large, bright and has an inviting vibe to it. There are only 10 machines so classes tend to fill up fast but there are enough classes offered throughout the day to get a workout in. They don't have showers onsite but do have changing rooms in the back of the studio. Towels are also provided which really comes in handy because A) I sweat the equivalent of a small lake during the workouts and B) I tend to forget to put things in my gym bag at 5:30 in the morning when I'm rushing to get out the door to the studio. Most of the workout is done on the Megaformer, which from my understanding is like a Pilates machine on crack. It's amazing how sweaty and sore you can get by isolating certain muscles over and over for extended periods of time. I've only taken Tom's early morning classes but have to say that the three workouts I've done have all been challenging and fast paced. The cost of buying an unlimited membership or class packages is pretty expensive but if you have ClassPass you can check out this studio three times a month which is totally worth it. read more

Huge fan!!! solidcore is an AMAZING workout that is both challenging and really fun. I've gone to many gyms (large and boutique) and have found this workout one of the best. If you love to challenge yourself this is the place! Also, since every workout is 50 minutes, you can get in and out quick which is really nice. Instructors all are fantastic and the owners (Alyssa and Tom) go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. read more

I'll start by staying this studio and these classes, I think, have noticeably changed my body (cause I haven't stopped drinking wine). I stumbled into this studio after exhausting all of my other ClassPass locations and wanted to give it a try. The first few times were tough, so tough I had to psych myself to go...but once you get there the instructors are incredible, know your name, cheer you on and make you feel like a rockstar. The classes are hard but each move is finite so you know you can hold out for that short amount of time. You will work almost every muscle and you will see results. I've burned 400 calories without any cardio in these classes. If nothing else, read this: I have ClassPass which means I can go to hundreds of boutique studios in the city, but I actually bought classes for SolidCore. It's that good. read more

This was my second class after joining ClassPass and boy was I in for a surprise. I thought this would be calm like pilates but I am so glad its not. There is nothing like it in the Cities- literally. They are the only place here that uses the megaformer. I first took a total body class with Tyler and then ever since am a staple in his Monday night Arms and Abs class. He is so peppy- in his own 'mean but not mean, i love you so much for being here now lets move your ass' kind of way. :) I look forward to this class every week. It is a ton of fun AND really hard. If you like to push yourself to the brink, have someone yelling at you in a motivating way, loud club music and full classes then this is for you! Tyler is the only instructor I have taken. However, I have heard Tom is also really great. Give it a try! A full membership or class packages are very pricey but ClassPass lets you go three times a month and is worth every penny... Thanks, SolidCore- see you Monday ;) read more

I am absolutely addicted to Solidcore. I've tried the Lagree Fitness method on a megaformer at studios in San Fran and Scottsdale, and this is definitely my favorite of the three. The workouts are intense, but atmosphere is friendly, encouraging, and fun. The instructors are all great and provide a nice variety of style. I've been going 3-4 times per week for 3 months now and the personal results are awesome - the fastest body change I've seen for any new workout routine I've started. I've been a runner for years and have worked with personal trainers in the past for strength - this is more efficient and affordable than that option. Also, take advantage of the new student deals. Then once you're hooked, you can buy bulk for discounts. You will hurt after the first few classes, but that's how you know it's working. Plus, everyone else is just working hard and focusing on their own workout, so no one is watching you. Just stick with it and you'll be amazed. And it is a really fun community. A few things to know before you go - you can change in the bathrooms in the back, which is helpful after work. There are also towels provided and a drinking fountain. Some people do have water bottles in class, but I never have used one myself. The class is done barefoot, so no need to bring special socks or shoes. I really can't say enough positive things about it. You should definitely check it out. read more

Truly an amazing workout, there is nothing like it. It's incredibly challenging, yet accessible, it will be hard no matter how fit you are! Promise. I guarantee you will feel like a super hero after taking class, a tired super hero, but super none the less! read more

After doing pretty much every workout in the twin cities (i.e. corepower, crossfit, lifetime, pilates pro, etc.) I can easily say this is BY FAR my favorite. It's a super hard workout- but low impact and works slow twitch muscle fibers that I didn't even know existed. I am sore after every workout because the workouts are always different. Just signed up for the unlimited month and I can't wait! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenge and a change of pace with their workout. P.S. Super great deal....bring 10 friends and get 10 free classes. Love it! read more

Best. Workout. Ever!! You will get [addicted] to this high energy, fast paced, zero impact, 50 minute workout. Get ready to work hard and get [strong]. There are just ten megaformers in class which means each person gets a lot of attention from the coach (who is leading the class); between fixing form and giving incredible motivation, I feel the coach's presence near me almost every single moment during class... it's super motivating and keeps me in the moves longer. Since I've been at the studio a few times, there are already familiar faces and I have literally seen repeat clients get so much stronger in just a few sessions. If you want to sweat, work hard, and become a part of an amazing community, come and check out [solidcore]. THIS IS NOT A REGULAR PILATES CLASS!! It is so much more intense and effective than anything "pilates" that I have ever tried. Oh, and did I mention all of the coaches have incredible, contagious energy and I absolutely love all of them?! It is true. I have never experienced anything like this before. Seriously folks, this workout is a game changer... what an [effective] 50 mintues! Also, during the mock classes, the sound system had some glitches which made it a little difficult to hear the coach. The sound system is now FIXED and the music is louder AND you can hear the coach well:) read more

If you're looking for a 50 minute, total body toning class that will make you sweat this is it. [Solidcore] is one of the more challenging workouts I've experienced since college. I was a D1 Athlete so while I know how to lift and create my own routines, I love that all I have to do is show up. This is Pilates with a punch and it's NOT just for women. There are spring loads underneath that you can change for varying challenges, or simply add weights to certain movements to really turn up the heat. My boyfriend felt very challenged as well. First I used a promo code and did a free trial class, then bought the unlimited first client monthly and will be buying a 40 pack after that. I am totally hooked and have noticed changes in my body just after 7 workouts (2.5 weeks of class or about 3/week). Secondly, I have seen some comments about cost and the pricing being expensive... I had that initial feeling too. However - if you're serious about getting in shape and you value your free time, you're not going to get a better workout in the same time/cost frame as [solidcore]. If you belong to any decent gym or yoga studio currently, you're probably paying $80-$150/month. The average gym membership holder goes less than 8 times per month so I do feel that prices are comparable. Your first class is $17 if you enjoy the workout the $199 new member unlimited breaks down to 16.58/class (if you go the recommended 3x per week) to see results. Finally - from a culture perspective, it's fantastic. The owners are great people and the staff is energetic, motivating and helpful without being annoying like some other 'group' fitness environments.This workout is intense and you want to feel competitive with yourself while you are there. I've seen people in class likely ranging from ages 22-60; anyone can do this! It is a small group of people per class, they know you by name when you walk in, it's never overcrowded and you always feel accomplished when you walk out. read more

Unbelievable workout. I was worried at first that it would be all women, but there are plenty of guys that do it too. It is an amazing experience no matter your fitness level. Coaches/owners are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend it! read more

Love this place!! A friend invited me a while back and love it. I am sore every day after and my abs have never been stronger! I also love the leg work as it's an amazing way to push the work I normally do. The only problem is how expensive it is. A bit out of my reach to go regularly but I go as much as I can. read more

Warm & welcoming. The classes are a total body workout, intense yet super FUN! They officially open 10/18 so have been working out any studio kinks through offering FREE mock classes to the public. #sweetdeal The class focuses on slow controlled movements and I could feel the difference in this workout immediately (and for two days afterward). I can't wait to go back and see the change that comes from doing something different and focusing on the slow twitch muscle fibers (endurance muscles) to assist me in my other sweaty pursuits. CHECK IT OUT...! You're going to love the burn read more

*Disclaimer*: I was an athlete for 15 years and competed at a D1 level in college. Even though I haven't trained like I used to in years, I've always looked for something to boost my sometimes mundane gym routine. THIS. IS. IT. If you're like me and have done everything under the sun...reformer Pilates, mat Pilates, Yoga, Barre, lifting, Cardio Kickboxing, group circuit workouts, etc. and just weren't that impressed, or didn't feel like your 50-60min class did much for your body... STOP LOOKING and sign up for Solidcore. Like any workout, Solidcore can be as hard as you make it. What makes it different than those workouts listed above are 3 simple things: 1. Low Impact Muscle Failure - Unlike most HIGH impact cardiovascular activities, Solidcore won't instigate joint pain while sending your heart rate soaring. Unlike most LOW impact activities, you WON'T get bored! Any personal trainer can tell you that if you're looking for true body change whether that be weight loss, muscle toning or overall strengthening you need to shock you body through a combination of cardio activity and resistance training. Solidcore is both. And if your heart rate doesn't skyrocket within the first 90 seconds of class, I'll pay for your next one! 2. Workout Atmosphere - this is a high intensity, fast-paced, heart pumping, encouragement-filled studio. Even the walls and floors have in your face inscriptions and mantras. "Yes you can" and "You're inspiring your neighbor right now" are literally staring you in the face when you're in the middle of an otherwise seemingly impossible movement. Not only is the studio inspiring, but the coaches are phenomenal. They strike the perfect balance of motivating without being annoying if you're not strong enough for a certain exercise. If you have workout ADD, this is the place for you as you switch from movement to movement all while Iggy Azalea and the like blare overhead. 3. Don't expect Champagne results on a Beer budget - Are classes cheap? No. If you're not willing to invest in your fitness goals at this point in your life, that's quite alright. But as another Yelper pointed out, how much are you spending monthly at your gym? What about those $20 Yoga classes you pick up a couple times a month? Now divide that total amount by the number of times you ACTUALLY went to said workout facility. Got that number? Now ask yourself, when is the last time you looked in the mirror or put on a pair of jeans and said, "Ya know, I can really see the difference in my body after 1 month of being active!" You will after one month of Solidcore. I am living proof of that, as are a number of folks in the weekday morning class. Dudes and dudettes alike, this workout will kick your butt and you WILL see results. Like anything, you have to be diligent to achieve those results, but there are few things more satisfying than feeling mentally, physically and emotionally stronger and Solidcore is a fantastic first step to get you there! read more

I work out A LOT: Yoga, Barre, Running, Weight Lifting, Cycling, etc. This 50 mn Megaformer Workout is HUMBLING and AMAZEBALLS! Did you even know you had slow-twitch muscles? You will after doing just one {solidcore} class! This low-impact, total-body workout will make you feel muscles like you never have before. My whole lower body shakes even after class is over, and you will feel the change in your abdominals and obliques after just a few classes. For those of you that value community, this is the place to be! The owners and instructors welcome you the minute you walk in the door(if they aren't in the middle of coaching!), encourage and motivate you through class, and high-five you when you have made it through to the end! You work so intensely for the 50 minutes that you are there with 11 other people, you can't help but bond with the other participants. The studio is clutter-free, warm, and clean, where one always feels welcomed. You MUST try this workout...oh and another great thing, for every 10 "asses" you refer or bring to the studio, 10 classes are yours for FREE! read more

Minneapolis and the surrounding area is lucky to have an abundance of boutique fitness options - and my recommendation would be to dive head first into any one of them, especially SolidCore. These fitness communities can be a really cool thing for accountability and connection - something we could all use a bit more of! SolidCore offers a unique way to bust your booty with a Pilates style, muscle-isolating workout that's sure to make you extra sore (in the good way). I am definitely looking forward to my next class. Thanks Alyssa and team welcoming a newbie to your ranks. read more

Absolutely amazing workout! Felt like a one on one training session even though my butt was getting kicked with about a dozen other attendees. To me a great class involves a tough workout, great music, a passionate instructor who knows how to motivate the participates, and energy of those in the class. Solid Core had all of this. I'm looking forward to returning!! read more

I can't say enough good about this place! The owners, Tom and Alyssa, have become like family to us! They truly care about every one of their clients and prove it over and over again. If you need a new great workout than this is the place for you! I have never been able to keep up a workout regimen, and ever since I've started [solidcore] I can't live without it! It is definitely the best and hardest thing you will ever do! If you haven't tried it yet... What are you waiting for? Even if you are just starting to workout or have been for years, this is the place to go! The coaches will guide you through everything and I promise you it will be a challenge! You will be so proud of yourself for accomplishing a class here! Everyone motivates each other and it's a blast! Try it! read more

Hoo boy. Arrived at 11am to take an 11am class, and was not permitted to take it because I didn't arrive 15 minutes early, despite the fact that I've taken many classes on these very machines before. They even hand you a paternalistic, scoldy postcard explaining that they need you to arrive early so that you can, among other things, meet the other people working out with you. Not necessarily why I come to class, but okay. I know, it's "policy." But I found the owner very condescending in her response to me when I emailed her about it, and the whole thing very off putting. :( read more

This place is the Beyonce of boutique gyms! No, literally after working out here for a month my butt is literally starting to resemble Queen B's (well, as close as I'm ever going to come to her perfection). The space is urban and chic with ample free parking. The workout is total body wonderful, unlike anything else I've experienced in the cities, and if you're a glutton for feel-the-burn-punishment like me, addicting. The exercises on the Megareformer let you target muscle groups that can be hard to reach in standard gym routine, and the sloooowww 4 count/pulse combo ensures that you feel the burn (in a good way). And because there are so many exercises you can do on the machine no two classes are the same!
