About [solidcore]
Solidcore is a fitness studio in Arlington, Virginia that offers Pilates-inspired workouts designed to build strength, endurance, and muscle definition. The workouts are performed on a specialized reformer machine called the Sweatlana, utilizing slow and controlled movements with resistance. Unlike traditional Pilates, Solidcore is high intensity and focuses on strength training. Instructors are described as encouraging and welcoming, providing support and guidance to all levels of fitness. The studio offers a well-structured app for booking classes and features validated parking for added convenience. Solidcore also provides amenities such as self-locking lockers and gender-neutral bathrooms stocked with toiletries. While drop-in classes are priced at $40, the studio is considered worth the investment for those seeking a challenging and effective Pilates-based workout.

I’m obsessed with solidcore. It’s a high intensity, low impact workout that is so challenging but keeps you coming back for more! Be warned, this is not a traditional Pilates..it is strength training. So it will be not be relaxing. But as you do more classes it gets better and you get stronger! The best workout ever, and the coaches are always encouraging and welcoming! Shoutout Lauren, Erin and Axe 🤍
I've been attending for 5 weeks now and I can’t say enough good things about my experience! All the instructors were incredibly nice and patient. They ensure everyone feels comfortable and assist when needed. The app is well structured and the classes are easy to book. One major plus is the validated parking, the parking garage is right next door and always empty.
Crystal City only has one location on the map for ClassPass, so I decided to give it a try. I had the pleasure of taking a class with the head coach, Nina. She was able to show me around and told me about the different resistance level springs. The full body session targeted the inner thighs and core. I didn't think I would sweat during class but I literally felt sweat dripping down my arms and my face. Pilates on the reformer with Nina will challenge you! You'll work out muscles you never thought ever existed until class. There are self-locking lockers and two gender neutral bathrooms. Both bathrooms have toiletries for your personal use -- tampons, hair ties, Bobby pins, hair spray, deodorant spray, etc. It can be on the more premium side in terms of price (drop in class is $40), but if you have classpass or a monthly membership, it's worth it if you want to commit to Pilates and a strong body! I recommend solidcore!
