[solidcore] Santa Monica - Santa Monica (CA)

Yamit Florentin A friend of mine told me about Solidcore after I mentioned it to her, I noticed they were on ClassPass. She said she saw a change in her body and that the workouts at Solidcore made her much stronger. On ClassPass, one session here cost me 14 credits (!), so Im guessing they are highly recommended and requested by the fitness community. I scheduled a session for Sunday at 8 a.m. with Anthony. This wasn’t the beginner class, but still, I could do most of the movements with Anthony helping me adjust the Pilates reformer machine. He mentioned that they offer a beginner class where the instructor cues the breaks, the lights are on, and they take it slow. Even if you are in good shape, you will find Solidcore workouts to be challenging. I can definitely see how it could make your muscles stronger, toned, and defined. Overall, it was a great experience, Anthony was motivating and very helpful. He is new to the studio, so give him a try! Studio: Cubbies ✔️ Filtered water ✔️ Water bottles/ drinks for sale ✔️ Bathrooms ✔️ No showers ❌ Street parking (by the meters).

Megan Pooley Evan at Sweat60 is the best trainer I’ve ever had! His workouts are challenging but still fun and uplifting. He is not only an effective coach and trainer, but he’s a great person. I look forward to our sessions — he is incredibly positive, kind, and motivating. I’ve made so much progress thanks to him!

Jenelle Bossett I came to Drive Cardio expecting an ordinary workout. From the Groupon and Yelp reviews I figured this place was over-hyped and too good to be true....OH BOY was I wrong! Drive has easily become one of my favorite workout destinations. The location is amazing, literally a walk from the beach off PCH. My drive to and from is always a pleasure, so relaxing and tranquil. Parking is a breeze. They have a lot with ample of space and theres even metered parking on the street that rarely gets packed. Every single workout is different. Ive gone over 10 times and can honestly say Ive never experience redundancy and they always provide a challenging but rewarding class. Ive been to 4 different instructors (Damien, Bonnie, Thierno, and Simon) all amazing but they all have different teaching styles. They all have high energy and make each workout challenging but fun. The classes are unlike any other Ive attended. They are both intimate yet engaging. You may start off with a treadmill warm up and move to core or strength training. Each class differs in routine so you are never bored. After a week I could really tell my stamina increased from the treadmill alone. And of course each and every class I sweated my balls off but loved the feeling of accomplishment after. The staff here is great and its a small gym so its easy to feel right at home here. Theres really nothing I would change about this place. If you are looking for the intimate setting similar to a personal trainer I would say come here. You really do get that individualized training in a group setting because they keep the class size pretty small. But it is pricey. Its certain worth the price if you can afford it, but if you have to to live off of Top Ramen and sale a kidney to pay for it then you might want to get the 20 class pack Groupon. Free lockers are a plus and they also offer face towels to wipe off all those calories you are sure to burn. I absolutely adore this place!

Tony M Great gym that’s always kept clean. It has all the equipment you could need, and there’s even an outdoor area. The staff are all friendly and helpful — they’ll even change the TV if there’s a game you want to watch. Awesome community vibe. Highly recommend!

J. Boogie First time here and I was really impressed. The entire gym is fairly large for a boutique commercial gym. It pretty much has everything, A bunch of staple plate loaded machines. Weight stack machines. 2 squat racks 1 platform for Olympic lifts and rack(3rd) 3 or 4 step mills Treadmills Boxing bag Group class areas etc No showers but I saw a bathroom maybe its in there I forgot to check Free lockers . Anyways everything is really clean just bring some headphones its super quiet in there, in fact nobody greets you they just kinda sit in their offices.

Carrie Denoyer Awesome class and studio space! Clean facilities and welcoming staff. You can book various kinds of group and/or private sessions.

liam vaughan The best

Nure Tamanna I started going to Aviator Nation this summer and I have to say its one of the best studios in the area. Ive attended boxing and yoga classes (have yet to take a ride), and I really enjoy the small group sizes, attentive instructors and their approach to taking things at your own pace. I feel like I get a solid workout every time without being intimidated by the complexity. The space is clean, tucked at the back of the store, so you are working out in a private space and not in full view from the streets. The custom combo locks are super helpful and towels are readily available for use. Best to bring your own wraps/gloves, yoga mat, and spin shoes... but the cost to borrow is not too high if you do need them. Highly recommended!

Adam Sellers Started working w James a few years ago, I was looking for a new MAT practitioner. Since then I have also gotten the most thoughtful and effective workout routines of my life. Every single exercise is so focused on true long-term physical health, making me stronger while also not overloading my body and tolerance. I’ve never worked with anyone better, him and the team are the best.

Maxwell Morro A fantastic place to grow, get stronger and connect. They have some incredible coaches there, and I always enjoy meeting the other kind hearted members who are showing up each time. Thank you, Oak Park.
