[solidcore] is known for its unique approach to fitness, and Brandon's classes are no exception. He describes [solidcore] as a place that breaks down slow-twitch muscle fibers through controlled movements, creating an intense yet welcoming environment.

From hiphop and rap music blaring through the speakers to his encouragement for clients to try new challenges, Brandon's classes are a testament to his commitment to helping his clients be the strongest version of themselves.
But [solidcore] isn't just about physical fitness—it's also about mental strength. "We challenge clients to think and feel more when it comes to this workout," Brandon says. "Digging deep into the 'why' is very important as it helps clients set the correct goals and expectations." This holistic approach sets [solidcore] apart from other fitness studios, ensuring that clients not only feel the burn during class but also carry that sense of accomplishment with them outside the studio.
One common misconception about high-intensity, low-impact workouts like [solidcore] is that they're only for the fit and strong.

As a Full Time School Teacher, Brandon knows how to make the workout process fun and enjoyable, creating themed classes that drive interest and encourage clients to step out of their comfort zones.
