At the heart of Solidcore’s famously intense workout is a proprietary piece of equipment that is lovingly called “Sweatlana.” Sweatlana is a Pilates machine designed to support an infinite number of challenging exercises designed by Solidcore’s team of coaches to maximize the results in their 50-minute workouts. The machine weighs over 400 pounds with two platforms, a moving carriage that floats on eight precision manufactured wheels providing resistance via eight springs that can be adjusted to vary the degree of difficulty for each move.

After working with another supplier during their first few years, Anne recognized she needed a better manufacturing partner to meet her ambitious business growth plans. Anne started working with BTX in the fall of 2017. In just four months, BTX made a confirmation prototype and delivered the first machines in February of 2018. At savings of almost 20% over the previous supplier, BTX has produced more that 700 machines to support Solidcore’s expansion with hundreds more on order.

BTX’s engineers have worked continuously with Solidcore’s leadership team to identify further improvements and have set up a spare part logistics support system managed through BTX’s domestic warehouse in the United States. BTX also stores the machines as their U.S. warehouse so they can be delivered within less than a week when a new studio is ready to open.
