[solidcore]

Went to 1 class had an OK experience. Booked my second class hoping it would be better after I got more used to the reformer and I just missed the cancellation window by an hour. Called the studio, no dice. Left voicemails, no reply. I even emailed them and no response. Months later they finally called me back and at that point its too late. They did offer me a refund and a free class but its still outrageous. If I cant reliably call the studio and talk to someone, Im not going to be giving you my business, ever. Horrible experience would never recommend.

Unfortunately, I had a poor experience with Anthony's class. I booked this via ClassPass and read through every single detail; it mentioned that this class was suited for "all levels." Although I've done reformer classes in the past, it was my first SolidCore class and their machines are more "advanced." Anthony didn't do a great job making a SolidCore first-timer feel comfortable. I've taken pilates workout classes plenty of times and also through ClassPlass, and never have I felt uncomfortable. You can tell he seemed irked at the fact that this was my first ever SolidCore class at an intermediate/advanced level course (which I definitely understand, although ClassPass mentioned this was good for all levels, thus, me signing up to begin with). It's one thing to be irked, however, he kept calling me out when I did something incorrectly (and it wasn't in a subtle or encouraging, uplifting way); he specifically addressed my name, directly into the microphone EVERY SINGLE TIME I did a form or position incorrectly throughout the ENTIRE class duration. I typically wouldn't care but because he announced my name every single time into the mic, it was uncomfortable - and I would imagine even for someone who has done advanced SolidCore classes as well. Yes, he did give some encouraging "good jobs" and "you've got this," but you can tell it was very passive. I completely understand sometimes instructors can have an off day, however, unfortunately it was just such a negative experience. As a fitness instructor, I would imagine it's the baseline to foster an encouraging and welcoming fitness environment.

I love Zoes class! Def recommend a beginners class for your first time but I felt stronger even after a few classes!

I feel like the machines were packed way too close to each other. The person next to me and I kept bumping our feet awkwardly. And while I liked Rosie's enthusiastic and positive energy, she wasn't giving a lot instructions or demonstrations. She just told us to look to our neighbors and go with it. That's not very reassuring when many of us were first timers. And also, we run the risk of hurting ourselves with improper positions, with that said, she did correct my form a couple of times. But that still left me and a lot of other people just looking around at each lost and confused. But I think if you go enough times, you'll eventually get it, maybe. The class is quite intense, and even with my frequent breaks, it kicked my butt. I think the microphone was a bit too loud as well, felt more like a boot camp class. Overall, it was a good workout. Tip: parking is on 183 N Fair Oaks Ave if you want to put it in the GPS. Parking is free for 90 mins as long as you make sure to validate your ticket. The access code for the door they'd sent me didn't work, but someone inside opened the door for me. Rosie the instructor said it was just acting up, but it seems like a common problem here. I hope they fix that.
