[solidcore]

Solidcore in Arlington, Virginia, offers Pilates-inspired workouts designed to build strength, endurance, and muscle definition. Sessions utilize a specialized reformer called the Sweatlana and focus on slow, controlled movements. Solidcore emphasizes core work and planking, providing a challenging workout that is different from high-intensity interval training (HIIT). The workouts are designed to be sustainable and promote gradual strength gains without significantly raising cortisol levels. Clients praise the supportive coaching staff, particularly highlighting the knowledge and encouragement provided by coaches. However, some concerns have been raised about recent changes to membership pricing and policies. The cost of memberships has increased, and longer commitment periods are now required for certain packages. These changes have led to dissatisfaction among some members who previously appreciated the flexibility of shorter-term options.
