[solidcore] Castro — Local services in San Francisco

To set some context, this was my first ever Solidcore class, and it was 7 a.m. on a Sunday. I’m a personal trainer and kinesiologist with years of experience coaching others and working with different modalities, so I wasn’t sure how this style of workout would compare. That said, Shannon absolutely crushed it as an instructor and completely exceeded my expectations. She did an amazing job of showing me the ropes (no pun intended), walking me through the structure of the class, and making sure I felt confident before we got started.

Throughout the workout, she was super attentive, helping with my form, offering modifications to make exercises easier or harder depending on how I was feeling, and even handing me a stability pole right before I was about to eat it during the runner’s lunge. It was that kind of thoughtful attention that made me feel like I wasn’t just surviving the class but actually improving.

The vibe overall was great, the energy was high without being overwhelming, the music was on point, and Shannon’s guidance kept things fun and motivating. Even with all my experience in fitness, I felt challenged and learned a few new things. I left feeling accomplished and excited to come back for another class.

Overall, great class – the fire playlist got me thru – also loved the aesthetics of this studio – the folks at the front desk were very welcoming. Looking forward to coming back.

Not sure if this is specific to this location or if the app was glitching but their system kept enrolling me and removing me from waitlists with no notifications and didn't allow me to sign up for a class because it said I was enrolled in one already at the same time (I wasn't). Staff wasn't super helpful unfortunately and I wasted an hour trying to navigate this. They said I was on the waitlist but would have to come in person to see if I get off (usually I can do that online so l don't have to commute 30 mins to see if I can...
