🔥 VIRAL RAGE: Anthony Festa Slams Solidcore in Explosive Drama
The fitness world is officially on fire, thanks to TikTok star Anthony Festa, who turned a Sunday morning workout session into a multi-million-view scandal. Festa is refusing to back down after he posted a video showing him taking over a Solidcore class when the coach failed to show—and the ensuing drama has exposed alleged internal chaos, staff panic, and a vicious friendship fallout.
The whole mess started late last month when Festa showed up for his 6 a.m. class. The studio was completely deserted. Instead of leaving, Festa, ever the content creator, whipped out his phone to chronicle the eerie silence. “Am I the only one at Solidcore at 6 a.m. on Sunday? I don’t even think the teacher is here,” he said in the clip, which has since exploded past 2.6 million views.
Festa did what any good celebrity would do: he gave himself a private class. He filmed himself turning on the lights and beginning his own high-intensity session. The plot thickened when he claimed the actual coach texted him—a text he intentionally ignored. His savage justification? “You snooze, you lose. I was here on time. I’m doing my class.”
🔪 Behind-the-Scenes Panic: Job Threats and PR Spin
The drama did not end with the self-taught workout. Days after the initial viral post, Festa dropped a “story time” video, also topping 2.6 million views, detailing the insane chaos that allegedly erupted behind the scenes between him and the late Solidcore instructor. The coach reportedly arrived halfway through the class, and soon after, the pressure began.
According to Festa, he was immediately asked to remove most of the footage. But the most shocking twist came when a friend called Festa, warning him that the instructor and other coaches were “fearful about losing their jobs” because of his viral content. The staff panic was so intense that Festa’s own membership was allegedly put on the chopping block.
Festa claimed he hung up on the friend the moment the subject of deleting the video came up. Then came the accusation of a corporate covert operation: Festa alleged that someone at the company circumvented him and went through his friend to try and pressure him into removing the damaging evidence. This suggests massive internal friction and a total breakdown of professional conduct.
💥 Festa Unleashed: ‘This Isn’t Chuck E. Cheese’
Anthony Festa’s reaction to the alleged professional pressure was pure fire. He delivered a blistering takedown of the coach, demanding a higher standard of behavior from the fitness professionals.
His savage soundbite is already going viral:
If this girl wants to be involved in me and my friendships and reach out to my friends on behalf of her, to ask me about my TikToks and Solidcore, then she needs to quit her job as a coach and become a client because there needs to be a level of professionalism. This isn’t Chuck E. Cheese.
That is right—the beloved fitness studio is being compared to a children’s pizza and arcade chain. Festa is calling out the instructor for allegedly blurring the lines between professional and personal life, suggesting the attempt to use his friend to leverage a video takedown was shockingly unprofessional.
Festa confirmed to reporters that the ordeal “negatively impacted” his friendship, though he quickly tried to spin it, claiming the friendship was “affected before [he] posted the video.” Regardless of the timeline, a highly successful content creator is now embroiled in a messy, public feud involving a friend, a major fitness chain, and allegations of job threats.
🛡️ Solidcore’s PR Damage Control: ‘We Value Mr. Festa’
After being dragged mercilessly across social media, the corporate machine finally coughed up a statement. Solidcore, desperate to control the narrative and keep their image squeaky clean, issued a carefully worded press release that attempted to smooth over the scandal.
“We have been in contact with Mr. Festa regarding the situation and his experience, and have also addressed the situation internally,” the company told reporters. Their goal was clear: to praise the influencer and minimize the crisis. “We value Mr. Festa as a long-time [solidcore] member and remain committed to providing a welcoming environment for all our clients.”
Festa, for his part, publicly acknowledged the attempt at damage control, stating it was “nice to see that Solidcore issued a statement emphasizing that they value me as a client.” He even threw them a bone, claiming he has been “ride or die Solidcore for a long time.” But is this genuine loyalty, or a calculation? By accepting the apology and the praise, Festa solidifies his power as the client whose voice is loud enough to force a corporate response.
🎤 ‘I Live My Truth’: No Regrets, Only Content
The bottom line for Anthony Festa is that this entire catastrophe was a massive win. He generated millions of views, dominated the conversation, and exposed a corporate-level panic—all from a single late coach. When asked if he had any regrets about kicking off this firestorm, his answer was pure celebrity confidence.
He has “absolutely no regrets.” His parting shot was the ultimate influencer motto: “I live my truth.”
This statement confirms that the pursuit of viral content and the need to “live his truth” outweighs any consideration for the coach who may have legitimately feared losing her job, or the damage done to his personal friendship. It is a stunning display of the power influencers hold over real-world businesses and employees.
🔮 What Happens Next? Membership Status and Lawsuits Loom
Solidcore’s statement confirmed they “addressed the situation internally,” which is corporate-speak for damage control and likely disciplinary action. But the massive question remains: What happened to the late coach? Was she fired? And more pressingly, will Anthony Festa keep his coveted membership?
If the coach was fired due to the video, this whole saga could escalate into a massive legal battle involving wrongful termination, workplace privacy, and the dangerous intersection of social media and employment law. Festa’s claims about a coach trying to reach out through his friends could be used as evidence of harassment or a violation of professionalism, further complicating the issue.
For now, Festa is riding the wave of his viral celebrity, proving that in 2025, a late fitness instructor is enough to create a week-long entertainment scandal. But the quiet aftermath—the lost jobs, the ruined friendships, and the private legal drama—could be far messier than the initial “Chuck E. Cheese” video. We are watching closely to see if Solidcore truly values this “long-time client” or if Festa’s microphone is about to be permanently silenced.
