My first Starter class was coached by Abigail and she was amazing! Doing their recommended introductory series is worth it to not feel weird or like class is hard to keep up with.
I know several people talked about not having a greeter or that the doors were locked. It was clear to me on the instructions for this location so I recommend reading any initial email you get from the studio and go to a evening/night class to give yourself time to get used to the space.
I don’t really know why there’s so many one star reviews because I think this studio is GREAT!!
It’s clean, it feels newer, everything is always fully stoked. But best of all the instructors are fab!! I’ve gone to about 20 classes so far with various instructors and each one of the instructors have been great! None of them carry an attitude, and all of them are very helpful and extremely motivating! Also all their playlists have been bomb - not one song I’ve wanted them to skip!! I especially really like Tim, Abigail, Courtney, and Lizzy’s classes.
I LOVE SOLIDCORE! I do this alongside barre, and holy s it literally changed my life. I am not even going to bring up the physical benefits, but I find myself having less stress in my day to day life, having more confidence, developing a growth mindset, etc. I just took an AMAAAAZING class which prompted me to write this review, shoutout to Justin the vibes were so great and I failed with a smile on my face! Also, shoutout to Hannah, Peyton, and Leslie, I love their classes as well and always try to fit their classes in my schedule. Everyone is so sweet and helpful. I've never not seen a solidcore instructor without a smile on their face. I also love how prompt solidcore...read full review
