I like the new machines (less smelly) but I agree I don't like the rickety handlebar. They are also more slippery so yoga socks help. I am indifferent about the knee holes

I've been to Pilates Pro Works and it varies. Sometimes it is a it like SolidCore, and other times it is more like regular pilates. Today, however, I went after their "master trainer" had been in to train everyone, and holy crap it was hard! A lot of moves similar to SolidCore. Wish the vibe was a little less tame there, though.

OP here - agree the handlebars are awful, they are really thin. I have been somewhat ok without the pockets but not great.

Are you still going or did you find something new? and if so, what is it?

Do you like the new machines at Solidcore? I am very ambivalent. I used to leave feeling like I had conquered something, was drenched in sweat and thoroughly worn out mentally and physically. And that is what I loved, as I am so freaking bored usually when I workout. This new machine is not doing all of that for me. Am I the only one??

(before you say it, I am very aware this is a first world problem )
