Solidcore To Open In New Luxury Building In Yorkville

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Solidcore, the cult-favorite Pilates-inspired workout, is opening a second studio on the Upper East Side.

The new studio is coming to the ground floor of 1695 Second Ave., near East 88th Street, in the first quarter of 2027, representatives of the studio's new storefront said.

For the uninitiated, Solidcore is a high-intensity, low-impact strength-training brand that holds classes on reformer-inspired machines with springs and cables in rooms lit with blue lights.

The studio will be on the ground floor of The Langdon, a new 24-story, 45-unit luxury rental building designed by Hill West Architects and developed by Alchemy-ABR Investment Partners in collaboration with Azur Holdings Management.

"Solidcore is an ideal fit," Jedd Horn, director of Capital Markets at Alchemy-ABR Investment Partners, said.

"Its loyal following, premium positioning and distinctive fitness offering will provide a valuable amenity for our residents while bringing a highly sought-after brand to this part of the Upper East Side," Horn said.

The studio — which has 17 locations across New York City — has such a dedicated following that, in honor of its 10th anniversary in 2023, it offered $100 in class credits to anyone who got a tattoo of its logo.

The studio's first Upper East Side location is located at 166 East 67th St., near Third Avenue.
