Their music selection, their energy, the way they talk about each exercise is really healthy I think -- never once have I been in a class where the focus was on losing weight or tone. It's all about strength and I find that so so so refreshing especially in today's climate!!
My first solidcore class tonight and I couldnt have asked for a better coach with Lilly V! Her energy is amazing and it helped ease the pain of my core and glutes! Extremely challenging but i really enjoyed the music and environment. I'll be back!
I had previously tried out a lagree class in California after going to pilates for a while thinking it would be cake. It was not. After I moved to Alexandria, I decided I would try out solidcore and it did not disappoint. The workouts are absolute torture, but in a good way. I'm getting my butt kicked for 50 minutes and questioning my life decisions, but I leave feeling sore and amazing. I will definitely continue taking classes here. Fortunately, I have never had a hard time with booking classes and the instructors have all been awesome and good with making corrections to help me.
