[solidcore] Mountain View — Local services in Mountain View

This is an incredible studio that I can’t recommend highly enough. I’ve taken about 45 classes here with 5 different instructors (Klaudia O, Savannah J, Gabrielle G, Jeff H, Maddie T), and every single one has been excellent. The staff is very friendly and really gets to know you over time.

I’d done 6+ years of CrossFit when my sister dragged me to a pilates class in Raleigh about 5 months ago. I was intrigued. When I got back to the Bay, I tried 16 classes across 5 pilates studios over about 2 months (via ClassPass), and Solidcore Mountain View was the clear winner. I’ve been pushed here harder than I’ve been pushed anywhere else. The upbeat music and the dark room really allows me to get in the zone and sweat like crazy. I cancelled my CrossFit membership, became an unlimited member here, and without a doubt I am fitter now than I ever was with CrossFit (and less beat up).

As a guy, I also appreciate that this location consistently has more men than I saw at other studios, which makes the environment feel balanced and comfortable. I’ve brought three male friends here already, with two more CrossFitters lined up to try it.

A note for anyone reading the negative reviews: the main complaint I’m seeing is from people arriving late not being allowed in. In my opinion, the late policy is actually very generous — the first 5 minutes are an essential warmup for these really intense classes (not to mention the coaches demoing new movements BEFORE class), so it’s largely a safety issue. If anything I’ve seen the staff be too generous in letting people in who are very late. Oh, and don’t overlook all the glowing reviews from those who love the workouts, coaches, and staff!

Another perk of this particular studio is that just outside there’s a big grassy area with picnic tables where I stretch out after class a lot, Trader Joe’s, Mendocino Farms, and so much more nearby given its San Antonio Shopping Center location.

If you’re curious or on the fence: try it. This place is...

I’d like to thank the entire solidcore MV team for such an amazing experience. Solidcore has been the first workout I’ve truly enjoyed. It has helped me improve my strength, confidence, and overall health in ways no other workout has. I’ve tried Orange Theory, Pure Barre, Barry’s, and pilates. These were all good/fine but nothing compares to the results and progress I’ve made here.

The coaches are incredible—special thanks to Coach Jerri, Patty, Matt, Vyvy, Sami, and Jeff for making every class fun, challenging, and welcoming. All of the other coaches are fantastic as well (I haven't taken a class that I didn't enjoy). I really appreciate how they take the time to know my name and encourage me each session :)

If you’re considering joining, don’t be intimidated...the most important part is always giving it your best try! Every workout is challenging but the coaches will guide you and the community is so supportive. You’ll be surprised by how strong you get, how quickly you see progress, and how much fun the classes are. The energy in the studio is always uplifting and I leave feeling accomplished every time.

Like any other studio, there are rules to follow. Doors open 10 minutes before class and they close 5 minutes into class. This is out of respect for the other members and for the coach leading. I’ve never had an issue with this policy and it actually helps improve class focus, safety, and flow.

I’m so glad I started my solidcore journey. Since January 2025, I've already taken 70+ classes and I never thought I could improve my strength beyond a push-up. I'm also the most toned and fit I've ever been my whole life. Excited to continue for as long as I can!...

Second Update: Team responded and fixed my membership. Still a little frustrating that their sales team is off-site when you have an issue with your membership and payment. But glad they were able to finally fix it. Love this workout! Fave instructors so far are Dougie, Enza and Matt!

Update: if you have an issue with your membership, you have to reach out to their sales team who is not on site. I have an issue with my membership and I’ve now been waiting a week for a response. However, their sales team was instantly available when I wanted to sign up for a membership. Waiting to hear a response now that I’ve emailed three different email addresses - and will update this review once I do.

Original post: I’m obsessed! I love working out and am a yoga instructor, but was craving something new and challenging - this hits the spot! The burn from these workouts is addicting and I can’t wait to see the results. I love the vibe and that you can be in and out in 50 minutes. My only feedback is that many of the instructors are new and you can tell the difference in your body when you have someone more experienced — give them time and this studio will be the talk of the town (as if it isn’t already!). The prices are steep (more expensive than Barry’s, which has more benefits and studio features - crazy!) - but I got the founder’s rate to justify the...
