Hello, Memorial!

Houston has four [solidcore] studios. None of them are west of the 610 loop, until now. [solidcore] Memorial is openinside Greenside, the new wellness development just north of Memorial City Mall, and it’s our first studio in West Houston. If the drive is what’s been standing between you and your first class, consider it handled. 

New to [solidcore]? Our coach-led, 50-minute classes use slow, controlled resistance training on our custom reformer-inspired machine to take your muscles all the way to failure. It's boutique fitness built around one goal: creating the strongest version of you.

Where to find [solidcore] Memorial

You'll find us at 1085 Gessner Road, Suite 260, Houston TX 77055, inside Greenside, the wellness-focused development in the reimagined warehouse complex on Gessner just north of Memorial City Mall. 

Good news, Greenside has free parking available right in front of the shopping center for convenient access before and after class.

Why Memorial

The blue lights are on at Gessner. A mile west, the Terry Hershey trail picks up Buffalo Bayou and runs six miles out to Highway 6, and a good part of Memorial is out on it before work. We're not asking you to trade that for a studio. High intensity, low impact: real strength, without adding wear to joints you already ask a lot of.

(Training for a race? Start with Run Stronger: how [solidcore] builds the strength behind every stride.) And whatever stage you're training through (pregnancy ⋅ postpartum ⋅ coming back from an injury), our coaches will meet you where you are.

Meet your head coach, Micaela Martin.

Leading the Memorial team is Micaela Martin, the studios head coach and community manager. Micaela took her first [solidcore] class in August 2025, joined Core Crew that November, and started coaching in July 2026. A former collegiate athlete, she was drawn to the challenge and to the community [solidcore] built for her here in Houston. She's at Memorial to build that same community for everyone who walks through the door.
