Washingtonian: Q&A with solidcore founder Anne Mahlum

There’s a reason Anne Mahlum has dubbed herself chief motivational officer ofSolidcore, the fitness studio she founded less than a year ago in Adams Morgan. Mahlum has made it her mission to get people in top shape using a patented machine called the Megaformer—and guests who sweat through the 50-minute sessions are seeing results. The in-demand fitness center now has two other locations in addition to the original, which the First Lady is known to frequent.
