I have had two varied experiences at Core Conditioning over the years (neither negative per say) but I am going to be rating this place on my latest experience with Ashley (hope I'm spelling that correctly). Up front, I found core conditioning through my insurance, so it may not be an option for you depending on what you have. Their "thing" (I guess) is the "red rope" system. Which is a little ironic because I think in all the times I've been here I've only ever used it once. They also do Pilates, and PT. I've worked with two different therapists: one whose name I can't remember and Ashley. Both were professional and good at their jobs, the first was just... Kind of rude? It's tough to explain, but he often seemed like I was wasting his time. Ashley however is GREAT! Cannot recommend her more. There is also free parking in the structure under the building, which is nice. Last, I will say that the way they do their scheduling could use a revisit. They book out by the month, and I understand that people cancel appointments all the time, but what ends up happening is unless you boom your appointment on the DAY that they open up the schedule it becomes really difficult to book an appointment. Which is great, maybe showing how busy they are, except then whenever I go there's no one else there... Overall though, would definitely recommend. read more

My wife found out about Core for my physical therapy after experiencing post op neurological symptoms and I have been working with Allyson who is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and caring and after two visits I'm seeing positive results.The whole concept and vibe of the place is great! I am so happy to have found Core, it blows away the in home P/T that my surgeon recommended! I highly this place to anyone who needs physical therapy or core conditioning. read more

if you want physical therapy done right this is where to come. Core Conditioning applies many various techniques and innovative practices to provide a great holistic care. I'm a personal trainer with a degree in kinesiology and I couldn't figure out how to alleviate a very severe shoulder/neck pain. I was lucky to be able to see Ally (one of the owners). After the first session I already felt 75% better. Gabrielle, the other owner would also check in with me whenever she saw me to ask how I was doing. I find the staff, from Vanessa at the front desk, to all the other therapists, the Pilates instructors, and personal trainers to be always warm, friendly, and welcoming! read more

I have been coming to Core for 17 years and am in the best shape I've been in in my life! Gabrielle is a skilled physical therapist and has been my savior. Brianna has helped me fix my body in a million ways starting with my feet (go figure!), along with Michele. I don't know where I'd be without them. The staff are so sweet and they all care deeply about their patients. I highly recommend this business! read more

A spinal surgeon from Cedars-Sinai referred me to CORE for an injury that left me with non-stop sciatica pain for over 5 months and unable to walk without sitting every 100 feet. Three doctors told me the only option was surgery, which is not an option I wanted to do. CORE's physical therapist, Felipe, changed my life. Less than 2 months after treatment, I am walking pain free and starting pilates class to keep my spine strong for the rest of my life! Felipe was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He used Core's RedCord PT system developed in Norway. WOW, it uses neuromuscular activation. None of the other PT companies I considered had the RedCord system - it is incredible and a pain-free type of PT. I am so thankful for CORE's committed to excellent physical therapists and having superior equipment. The owners Gabrielle and Allyson operate a first class rehabilitation and wellness center that embraces the latest medical science in a comfortable friendly setting. read more

I went 2X and I found inconsistencies with the staff. The first visit it was 90 degrees outside and when I walked in the a/c was not on with a gym full of people. People in the gym were complaining as well but no one put the a/c on. Finally I asked and it took 3 requests til they put it on. The therapists don't record the proper notes for different therapists to refer to on the next visit. The owner called me and only defended her staff and was unwilling to meet me there on my next visit to observe the treatment. She called it babysitting her staff. The individual rooms get very little a/c in them. The manager said she wasn't warm. How about the comfort of the patient? The manager, Vanessa and the owner seem to put themselves first before the patient. read more

I am so grateful to Gabrielle and Ally for all of their excellent care and help! I've been a weekly patient at Core Conditioning for almost two years, and Gabrielle and Ally have helped me so much in managing the connective tissue disorder I have, h-EDS. And I'd be remiss in not mentioning how great the staff are! Vanessa, who helms the front desk, has always been extremely helpful whenever I've needed anything. I can't say enough great things about Core! read more

I have a physician's prescription for PT due to a deltoid injury. Trainer was great and attentive. BUT to schedule regular appointments for the next month it's necessary to call on 15th of month at 8am only. I called 30 times and gave up 40 minutes later. This adolescent method of scheduling medically necessary appointments is absurd!!! I couldn't get through. read more

Excellent, professional, caring people. I would highly recommend them., both PTs and trainers.

I've have a hip impingement and have been to PT at two other places, and was having issues with the other PTs working with too many clients simultaneously and not paying attention to my form or making sure I was progressing or I just came in and did the same exercises they had me do at home. Because of all this I decided to try Core Conditioning, which is 1 on 1 PT with a Pilates focus. Elson did my evaluation, he was very thorough and honest about where I was (in terms of current strength and that I was close to where I should be). He also said that unless I was concerned about form, I should do the different exercises while at PT and continue doing the old pt exercises at home. I have had several sessions with Jennica (who is amazing!) she guides me thru Pilates focused exercises to help me strengthen my core and muscles that support my hip and does some soft tissue work to help loosen my hip. She chooses exercises are challenging without being too much and makes sure I keep proper posture/technique while performing them. Her aide Josh is also great about making sure I was using proper technique and not cheating by something else over compensating. I have also done some Pilates sessions with Natalia (who is also a Pt aide), she is great and works closely with Jennica to make sure she chooses exercises in line with my PT. read more

Gabrielle is co-owner of Core Conditioning and an excellent physical therapist in all dimensions - from her outstanding educational qualifications, to her excellent diagnostic skills and hands-on PT work (for the full 45 minute appointment, something most PT's don't have time for!), to her caring personality. And importantly, Red Cord is available in her office as well, one of a small number of PT practices in California to offer it. Red Cord has done wonders for me, even with a chronic condition I've had for decades! Before Red Cord, I had moderate/severe scoliotic spinal curvature of over 40 degrees (thoracic and lower back) and multiple herniated discs in my neck/back. Four car accidents in 3 years, superimposed upon my preexisting skeletal problems, left me with chronic pain and restricted motion. Red Cord provided amazing results, visibly and even objectively - both in the form of improved range of motion and x-rays documenting a 10 degree improvement in my spinal curvature. This is quite impressive, given I had been progressing 0.5 to 1 degree per year for the previous 2 decades. My orthopedic surgeon was quite pleasantly surprised. This improvement is especially remarkable given I've already had decades of physical therapy with other therapists/methods, including myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, accupuncture, glucose injections, chiropractic, Medex, massage, etc. Red Cord is the most effective, quick, and long-lasting (months, not days or weeks) modality that I've ever employed. And post-treatment soreness is minimal. The Red Cord technology is truly miraculous and useful for a wide variety of conditions, I highly recommend it! read more

Core Conditioning goes beyond the norm. It is in a class all on its own. Brilliant therapists, futuristic equipment, and easy to sign up for classes. Judith read more

I was referred to Megan at CORE about three months ago for severe back pain and lack of mobility assumedly because of a spinal fusion and laminectomy a few years ago. With sessions twice weekly, Megan has directed me in almost totally eliminating my pain and improving my mobility considerably. Red Cord, Pilates, tissue work and general exercise have been the therapeutic modalities used in each visit. I find Megan to be uber knowledgeable, motivational, empathetic and very focused on my wellbeing. I cannot give her and CORE enough accolades. Susan Lutske read more

Great customer service. Megan was very helpful and gave me lots of tools to help my lower back pain.

Amazing Pilates! Have been going here for months now and training with BRIANNA. She is incredibly knowledgeable, a great motivator and a pleasure to work with. I didn't realize that Pilates could be such a challenging workout and make my body so much stronger and more flexible. Had been doing yoga for years prior to this - in addition to weight training - but have achieved more strength (in hard to hit areas) and flexibility (all over) from Pilates in such a short period of time... I credit Pilates in general and Brianna specifically for that. The right trainer with the right method is the secret to getting to the next level. read more

I've had two series of visits, first for a pulled muscle in my upper back, second for one in my lower back. Mandy helped with the first, Jennica with the second. Both women were amiable, well-trained, and effective. Both skillfully adapted their treatments to my personal needs. So I felt well-served and recommend Core highly. read more

The first​ visit was ok but Angela (PT), who was new, explained through it all but too much talking, as she was also trying to impress me with these acronyms and using PT language. Look, I'm there to receive proper treatment and not to hear what you learned in school. Secondly, I've made two calls to set up a weekly appointment and left messages. I have yet received a call-back from this facility. I've decided to seek treatment someplace where people care and are happy to receive​ my business and render care/treatment. read more

I'm a former college basketball player. By 28, my back pain was considered chronic and I visited a chiropractor and massage therapist regularly. By 30, I had a herniated disk and added Pilates, physical therapy, and acupuncture to my routine. By 33, things were only getting worse. I tried Egoscue and eventually hit an emotional rock-bottom. Fortunately, I was led to Gabrielle and things are finally turning around for me. After all my experience, I've learned that the most important aspect of realignment is building the muscles to stay in alignment. The team at Core Condition understands this concept. I'm 8 sessions in and I'm moving with a lot less pain, I'm finally able to do exercises that build muscles without compromising my back, and I'm hopeful that an active lifestyle is in my near future. read more

Core becomes your best habit! Elizabeth and Lindsay are excellent Reformer Class teachers. Everyone know your name and is welcoming. Probably the best kept secret of Studio City! read more

Had high expectations since I was referred by my doctors office. But alas, it's been very disappointing. After confirming my co-pay amount & having their billing office confirm benefits, I went in for my first appointment. Although surprised at how long I waited for the therapist & how young she seemed, I was still hopeful. After the first 15 minutes it was painfully obviously that the therapist had little/no experience with my condition. We did no stretching, exercises, or Pilates, just breathing. She said next appointment we would work with the reformers. Again, hopeful. When I showed for my second appointment, I was put with another therapist! So I had to have my "initial consultation" for a second time and we wasted almost the entire hour chatting about my condition. I realized i needed someplace more qualified. I let the girls at the front desk know all subsequent appointments were to be cancelled and assumed it was done. 6 months later... I just a call from a collection company telling me I have 2 no show appointments and also additional non-covered insurance charges. Shocked, I left 2 message for Core's billing dept. After 2 weeks, I finally spoke to an Emma in the billing office. She was beyond rude and irritated with me for asking to see invoices and to confirm charges, which she couldn't/wouldn't do via telephone. Now I am going to the office in person to get some answers. Keeping my fingers crossed that this can be reconciled. Update to follow... read more

Happy with my recent visit. Excellent staff. Noticed real results in matter of days! I definitely recommend this place! read more

I had a sports injury last year which I was treated for (physical therapy) at Core Conditioning and Paula, my favorite therapist, was fabulous in helping me recover quickly. I liked that this place was all about treating the injury with pilates based exercise and massage. Since completing my physical therapy, I have stayed around to take some of the Pilates Reformer classes and have found them to be awesome. I already do Yoga and other Cardio exercise but find that these Pilates classes are a great form of exercise to help strengthen and build muscle without having to do weight training (which I hate). Unfortuantely they don't offer many "Begining" classes (in my opionion) or night classes but if you can get in one, you will love it! Andrea & Elizabeth are super knowledgeable and great teachers. Be sure to get your name on the list in advance though because the classes are limited to 4 students so they fill up fast and unfortuantely the studio does not have an online tool to sign up for classes (something they really should consider). read more

This review is for the Pilates mat class on Saturday mornings. I've only had one class so far, but I loved it and can't wait to go back this Saturday. The teacher (Traci) was observant and made lots of corrections in a soothingly attentive way. She wanted to ensure we were doing the right thing as far as our breathing and body alignment were concerned. If you're used to the meditative quality of yoga, you might be surprised by the clinical nature of Pilates. It's more geeky, and a lot less flowy than yoga;I mean this in a good way. There's not a lot of sweating and heaving going on. But that's not to say it's not strenuous. My back, stomach and butt for a few days have felt like I hiked Runyon Canyon. They also accept the KCRW Fringe Benefits card which entitles you to 15% off a single mat classes. Yay! read more

i'm a big fan of Gabrielle and everyone over at Core Conditioning. The place is clean and very comfortable. Their team is very friendly and experienced. I suffered from back pain that was unbearable and uncomfortable. Core to the rescue! After a few sessions of physical therapy, I felt like a new man. Not only did they help cure me, but they also recommended a few exercises to do at home. I also learned from them how to properly stretch my body. This has been so helpful. I am so thankful for all they have done for me. I've referred so many of my family, friends and clients to Core and they have all been very happy. They are professional, experienced and on top of it all, they care about their patients. There's a reason why they are so busy. read more

I had a great Redcord session with Andy. Came away from the workout feeling completely different, able to use muscles that hadn't been engaged properly for who knows how long. Great service, great therapy, all around exceptional experience. read more

HIGHLY recommend this facility. Basically every single one of my family members have needed to go to Core Conditioning for some form of injury. All the physical therapists we have worked with are excellent, well trained and highly effective. They have experience with adolescents dealing with sport injuries, chronic pain issues and acute injuries. It is not always the easiest place to get an appointment but it is well worth the wait!! I would never go anywhere else for PT. read more

Core Conditioning has been a life changer for me. Having had shoulder surgery and hip issues, Gabrielle is making me stronger. She and the entire team at Core Conditioning are amazing. I would, and do recommend Gabrielle to anyone who needs physical therapy. read more

Alexis Kinder has been my Physical Therapist. Sciatica limited my mobility and I had been in constant pain for months until I started therapy with Alexis. I am improved so much that I will be leaving for a trip to Europe soon. Every day I will do my exercises and thank the Almighty for the knowledge and skills of the best Physical Therapist in the world. Thank you Ale Just returned from vacation - river cruise on the Danube. Must have walked every day from Budapest to Praha. I have Dr Kinder to thank. Would not have been possible without excellent PT. read more

I was skeptical at first. Been to places where they simply Ultrasound, Ice, give you an exercise and forget about you. Not here! Very knowledgeable staff, excellent equipment, clean and bright facility. Most importantly they work hard to get you better. read more

I have been going to Core Conditioning for several months now for back pain and have really noticed a difference. I previously tried acupuncture, chiropractic and massage which only lessened the pain in the short term. Now after personalized instruction and exercise routines my pain has greatly subsided on a daily basis and my posture has dramatically improved. The staff in very friendly and works around my hectic schedule. The facility utilizes brand new state-of-the-art equipment (that other studios don't have) and is very clean. I would definitely recommend to anyone who has tried other methods and noticed little improvement. Both locations in Studio City and Burbank are great. Only the Studio City one has Saturday appointments. read more

I have been seeing physical therapists at this place. They are all very knowlegable well trained and dedicated. Highly recommended!!!

If you need physical therapy or attention to your core, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!! Gabrielle is awesome and the rest off the staff is wonderfully helpful! Thank you for all the help and attention to detail!! It doesn't get any better than this! read more

The employees here are extremely rude. I recommend going to another place where they treat you like a human being. read more

This has been the best physical therapy I have ever experienced. Starting from the front desk to the scheduling and most important the physical therapist. Ally has made such a difference with my recovery. All of the staff are courteous and professional and focused. I recommend Allyson and her entire team. read more

I was referred here by a friend who uses it primarily for personal training. I needed PT post prophylactic bilateral mastectomy and was really not looking forward to driving from The Valley to Beverly Hills or Santa Monica where my MD was going to refer me. I love this place so much. From day one it has really just been the best. I happen to work primarily with Ally and Megan, because they have expertise in the areas I need, but the vibe and employees are just so relaxed and awesome. I am hoping to do private training as well after my next surgery so I can get back in shape and make some muscles! Let me just say that Ally and Megan are phenomenal. I need to speak about them specifically because they are who I work with. SO knowledgeable, so kind, so accommodating. I have now been recommending them and Core Conditioning every chance I get. My ROM is better than I thought it could be after my surgery, in such a short amount of time. And my strength is returning as well. They do more than just exercises too. Lots of tissue work. They know what they are doing. Just to add and comment on what some reviewers have said about certain therapists being booked; that is true to some extent. When I first started the therapists I wanted to see were very booked, so I took what I could get. They start booking for the following months on the 15th of every month, so you need to get in early. Having said that, it is what it is. They are popular. I have never had anyone disappear on me and if there were things I needed to know, if they didn't get answered during a session I just asked. I am not one to wait around. If anything was ever missed, or forgotten at the end of the session it certainly wasn't intentional and a simple reminder from me was all it took to have it easily resolved. read more

This place is awesome but it gets One Star because it's simply impossible to schedule an appointment. Need rehab? As long as you can wait 2-4 weeks to see someone, you are fine. Otherwise you are out of luck. Did you get an appointment? You just won the lottery. read more

I continue to be very happy at Core Conditioning in Studio City. Most recently, I have been attending group reformer classes and private sessions with the amazing Tiza. They have a lot of classes offered by many different trainers so people of all ability levels and personalities can definitely find a suitable class. I only wish my schedule allowed me to go more than twice a week! read more

I have been going to Core for a couple of months now, and unfortunately for me I have 4 other facilities to compare them too! I can not express strongly enough how amazing they all are there. I am working mostly with Ally and Ariana, but everyone there is so pleasant and knowledgeable. I feel like they are genuinely concerned and care about my injury, and working so hard to help me. The facility is amazing, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. You are never rushed - they work with you individually stretching, massaging, manipulating, and generate exercises personalized for you. The instruction, the caring, and expertise of the therapists are what makes this place stand out. read more

If you need to train or rehabilitate Core Conditioning is fantastic ! read more

My daughter who is a dancer tore her ACL in July 2014. She was supposed to have surgery so her doctor suggested that she do physical therapy prior to her surgery. She started at Core Conditioning in August. She had surgery in late September. Her surgery was completely successful. We never expected her recovery to be as hard on her as it was. Our experience with Megan and Elson whom are both physical therapists treating my daughter and encouraging her in recovery. They have been nothing but kind, knowledgeable, understanding, professional and extremely patient. They are fully committed to taking care of their patients needs and concerns for the well being of their patients. I am also a patient of theirs in recovery from a meniscus repair and a spinal fusion. I have been suffering since my fusion in 2008. This is the first time I've had any relief with Pilates. I'm doing whatever I can not to have another surgery. I also must ad that the assistants Patrick, Ashley and Melissa who are extremely knowledgeable, patient and understanding l have been fantastic experience. it is such a pleasure to walk in and be greeted by such an amazing staff. Bertie is such a fantastic addition to the Core family. She always takes care of any issues that may arise. She's on top of everything. I have never had any issues with waiting, my appointments are always scheduled and we're always seen on time. Parking is so easy. It's a very convenient location. It's also important that you do know that the owners are truly committed to their art. All of the therapist are top notch. It truly has been an amazing journey. read more
