Questions

The stuff people ask

I've never been to a gym. Is that OK?

More than OK. Lots of our members started from zero. You'll get coached through everything.

Do I need to get in shape before I start?

No. That's what we're for. Come as you are.

What should I wear?

Anything you can move in, and indoor running shoes. Bring water.

What does it cost to start?

Your first visit is free with a free pass. After that, Solid Gold is $199.50 every two weeks plus tax, and it comes with our 90-day results guarantee.

Will people judge me?

No. Classes are 8 people max and everyone's focused on their own workout. Read about our safe space policy.
