Strength classes on a Pilates-inspired reformer
[solidcore] West Loop describes a high-intensity, low-impact resistance-training format on a custom-built, Pilates-inspired reformer. The operator explicitly says the workout is not Pilates, so this guide treats it as strength training rather than Reformer Pilates.

The new-client guide describes Starter50 as an introduction with machine explanation, programmed rest and exercise demonstrations, while Foundation50 focuses on the basics. These formats may not appear at every studio or time, so use the current branch schedule rather than assuming availability.
