I have been a regular student at CoreWorks for about five years, and I love it! This is not one of those "bargain bin" clubs stacked with reformers and a ridiculous client-instructor ratio. At Coreworks, the classes have no more than 8-10 reformers, so the instructor can take the time to help each student with the routines. No two workouts are the same, and classes are never dull. If you are thinking of giving Pilates a try, visit CoreWorks and check Groupon, as there are often new member/class packages. read more

I always wanted to try pilates on the reformer. The gym I go to is too pricy so when I saw an offer on groupon for three sessions I purchased it. Per the instructions on groupon, I emailed Fran so that I could create a log in online but I didn't hear back from her so I called the office. Once my account was created, I was able to sign up for classes. I was informed before I took any classes I would need to take the Intro to Equipment class. Fran was the instructor. She was patient and helpful as it was my first time and I needed specialized attention. For my second session, I took Reformer I & II with Doreen. Foe my last session I took Tower with a substitute for Doreen. All the instructors were patient, helpful, and friendly. They ask if anyone had injuries and they walk around and if your technique is wrong they adjust and correct you which I greatly appreciated. The classes were challenging to me since I am not good at following directions. Also, if you don't remember instructions well, I recommend taking Intro to Equipment multiple times. I had to look around to see how to do things as I am a visual learner, not an audio learner. The facility is tucked away in the corner and is not visible if you are in the parking lot. Fortunately I saw someone wearing athletic clothes and followed them. The facility is clean and bright. There are two individual restrooms. There is a main room with cubbies. The reformer room also had cubbies. The reformer room was slightly warm even with ceiling fans so I dressed lighter the second and third session. I enjoyed my experience, but could have benefitted from more intro classes. The classes were much different than my normal cardio and strength training classes at my gym. The pace was slower and it was a great way to relieve stress. I highly recommend Core Fitness for Pilates. read more

I love the vibe at Coreworks Fitness and Pilates where I have felt safe and comfortable at every level of fitness. The instructors are top notch and a good mix, depending on what suits you. I re-started Pilates at Coreworks 4 years ago as part of a fitness journey, and as I've lost 125 lbs in that timeframe, this practice has been instrumental in reshaping and toning to keep pace with the weight loss. The instructors have worked with me at every stage, helping me modify before I could successfully perform a move. Coreworks frequently updates its schedule and approach to cater to multiple fitness levels with Beginner/Foundation courses, Intermediation/Progression courses, and Advanced/Athletic courses. They've also got a good mix of Stretch & Release/Recovery or if you want to try something specific like Springs and Jump Board. LOVE this place!! read more

I highly recommend Coreworks Fitness and Amber's Pilates reformer classes to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey. The expertise, attentiveness, and genuine care for their clients make each session a truly rewarding experience. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find immense value in training with the instructors at Coreworks Fitness. They are helping me achieve my fitness goals! read more

I had wanted to try pilates for several years but always found a reason not to take the leap of chance. After finally realizing that I had officially outgrown the weightlifting gym community and no longer had a passion for it, I did a lot of searching to find a pilates studio to try out. I knew I needed to be open-minded because I may not find the right studio immediately, but I am beyond thankful that Coreworks was my first try. I immediately felt comfortable and safe trying something brand new that I have always had a strong interest in. It has almost been a year now, and I am still just as in love with it as when I was when I started. Every instructor is driven by the motivation for you to have proper form and succeed while also pushing you to be the best that you can be. What is also great is that not every instructor has the same tempo and approach, so depending on how my body is feeling, I can sign up for the right classes, whether I need more gentle movement and stretching or challenge and strengthening. I would recommend Coreworks to anyone in a rut with their fitness journey and looking to be a part of a wonderful community. I am forever grateful to have discovered and taken a leap of chance with Coreworks! read more

I started going to Coreworks thanks to a Groupon that I had and would still be going if I hadn't moved away from the area. It is a GREAT studio: great facilities, great instructors. I wanted to take barre but it was just a little too high-intensity for me. The instructor was really nice to me about it and even let me try out one of the reformer pilates classes instead of suffering through another barre class, even though my Groupon was for mat classes only. BASICALLY lemme break it down for you: - Instructors: super nice, great at teaching, really fun, all beautiful people but not in that way where you're scared of how beautiful they are? Just the right amount of beautiful - Facilities: really clean, spacious, bright, functional - Equipment: clean, well-kept, basically new I mean, there isn't much more I can say. I loved Coreworks Fitness. read more

I was looking to get back into regular exercise after doing very little during the pandemic. I did weight lifting prior but it got boring after a while so I decided to try Pilates. I found Coreworks and started out by taking private classes with Fran so I could learn how to use the equipment. I'm hooked now. Every class is different and every instructor has been excellent. The online booking is super convenient. I highly recommend. read more

I felt very comfortable in the environment and thought that the pace and the instruction were right on track with my expectations. I had never done Barre before and honestly, I fell in-love. It was one of the best classes I had ever been to for the first time and felt so confident about. Everyone there is really nice and there is no judgement. The instructors are very informative and will help you along the way so you get a great workout in and done correctly. I would ALWAYS recommend coming here. It is definitely one of the best things I have done since moving to the area. The location is a little obscure and hidden; but consider it a hidden gem! read more

Attended a Balanced Body CoreAlign2 training. Studio was clean and the people that work there seemed very friendly. There was adequate space for the equipment and students. Sara was our instructor and is VERY knowledgable. She went through every exercise, in depth, and gave us plenty of modifications and "common questions asked". She also gave us excellent feedback for us for our future instruction. I've taken another pilates teacher training course here before and the instruction was also very good. If I lived closer to the area, I'd definitely consider taking classes there as the instruction I've received has been excellent. read more

Took a class here with some friends, I believe we did the core align class. It only holds four people in the class total. The class is a mix of yoga and Pilates. Class wasn't bad, per my friend it takes some practice to learn how to hit different muscles in the core. Would be open to trying out a class again but wouldn't call it my main mode of exercise. read more

I have been taking virtual Pilates classes for the past several months from Coreworks and I have been so very happy with the sessions. The instructors are really awesome. They each have their own style and the variety of classes they teach are great! The virtual classes are very affordable and allow me to take class and stay in shape in the safety and convenience of my home. Sara, Joanna, Doreen, Jennifer and Megan work so hard and provide an amazing array of Pilates workouts. Everything from basic mat class, Barre, stretch and meditation, and Cardio and Abs......they do it all! I highly recommend this studio! I will be taking some in studio classes soon also (they are extremely vigilant with their Covid precautions) so I am excited to work on some of the equipment and meet the instructors in person! read more

I've been taking pilates with Coreworks for many years and highly recommend them. They are the best place in the VA/DC/MD area.... I've moved further away and can't find a place that is as good as they are. read more

LOVE this place! I moved from New York City over the summer and had done Pilate reformer classes for few years. I was thrilled to find Coreworks on google search that turned out to be just as good a studio as the one I had attended if not better. The instructors are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The equipment is well maintained and look new. The whole studio is spacious, clean and neat. I also highly recommend Pilate and/or Pilate on reformers as a form of workout. They have made a huge difference in my physical and mental health. They work a wide range of muscles on my body and I feel great and happy every time after a class. read more

I started going to Coreworks in 2005 for a couple of years and had to stop for health issues. I came back a couple of years ago and am so happy I did. All of the teachers are terrific and each has their own style. The schedule is flexible, morning, afternoon, and evening classes. I highly recommend! read more

Very nice studio, well appointed, kind teachers, gentle lighting and the latest equipment make this a great place to take Pilates classes.

I have been working with Michele for the past year and a half. I started out with severe back and leg issues after double hip replacement requiring the use of crutches or a cane. Against all odds I am now back to hiking two to six miles a day. She has taught me a set of Pilates tools that I have used to get my muscles to properly do their jobs. Cannot recommend Michele highly enough!!! read more

I like the availability of the classes, and the the professionalism of the instructors. Coreworks provides a great boutique experience for my Pilates reformer workouts! I can schedule a class on any day of the week with ease. The smaller class size allows the instructors to pay close attention to correct positioning of the participants and make any needed corrections! Friendly, clean and convenient! read more

I started going to the studio because of a Groupon deal. I kept up with it - a year later. I have never been this consistent with a fitness regiment. But I truly enjoy what this studio has to offer and look forward to classes that I attend during the week. I absolutely love the instructors, facilities and atmosphere in the studio. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. The instructors are very interested in both teaching and expanding their knowledge in the fitness field. The classes are never boring, with new techniques and equipment brought in for additional challenges. And every student gets personal attention during class. The studio is extremely clean ( and I am very picky). They got so many things right - even the smaller details, like the music, lighting, spacing between equipment, and even the smell of the cleaning supplies (they make their own that has a very mild natural scent). I feel very fortunate to have found this place. read more

I am very impressed with CoreWorks Fitness! Today was my first experience and I am happy to say I will definitely return and suggest them to others! Fabulous environment, equipment and instructors! read more

Great customer service, very knowledgeable. I took a private Pilates lesson with Fran. It was wonderful. She is a great instructor. Can't recommend enough. read more

I just recently relocated to the area from San Diego and I was in need of a new place to add to my normal gym routine and my search brought me to CoreWorks. CoreWorks is both friendly and a professional atmosphere for all clients that choose to participate in any of the variety of classes they have to offer. The instructors make you feel very comfortable, they are knowledgeable, and have patience for those clients, like me who are new to this style of fitness! Session prices and packages are very reasonable and affordable especially for the variety of core classes that are offered all in one studio location. The other best thing about the studio is there is a full course schedule offered 7days a week and at many times that would work with anyone's schedule. So it would be hard to miss a class....hint hint!!! I'm hooked! read more

New to the area and actively searching for a Pilates studio! Found Coreworks via google and found myself paying for the New Student Intro. Package immediately!! I enjoy very much how the instructors make you feel super comfortable and will adjust movements for your safety/comfort. They are all extremely knowledgeable and give you a better understanding of listening to your body/positioning so you get the most of of each work out. Loveeeee this studio and highly recommend to anyone read more

I love this Pilates studio! I wanted to take Pilates after doing some research on how to get rid of lower back problems. I found this studio after doing some research on Google and Yelp. It was about 10 minutes away from my house, so it was convenient for me to take the evening classes after work. I started taking classes with the new student membership. You get one private class and unlimited classes for a month for $75. It's an amazing deal! After the first month, it's $150 per month for unlimited classes. It's really easy to register for classes online, but they do have a strict cancellation policy. If you don't cancel your class 24 hours prior to your scheduled class time, then you have to pay a 10-dollar fine. I have only taken equipment classes like Reformer, Tower, and Chair, so I cannot speak for any other classes, but I loved all the classes! I regularly took Reformer I & II classes with Fran, Sarah and Doreen and tower classes with Fran and Sarah. I have taken classes with other instructors as well. All the instructors were great. They were always prepared, and they were patient. They also knew how to challenge you and get you to challenge yourself. I was a member for about a year and a half. If I didn't have to move for work, then I would've continued taking classes at this studio. If you are looking for a studio with clean equipment and great instructors, definitely try out Coreworks in Columbia! read more

This place is tucked away in the corner of a business complex but the staff was able to guide me on the phone to the right parking lot at night. Plenty of free parking!! It offers many amenities from massages, pilates mat, barre and different pilates equipment classes. I really enjoyed the intro equipment with Fran (owner), who's very knowledgeable and really loves what she teaches. It was a bit chilly in the studio so I recommend wearing socks and long sleeves until you warm up. I wanted to apply the introduction knowledge so I tried the reformer 1 & 2 and Tower classes with Fran and Sara. I guess I still have to get used to the equipment/techniques in order to isolate the work in my core.I will be back next month to try the jumpboard and other classes they offer. Thanks ClassPass for introducing this studio, otherwise I would have known it existed down the street from me! read more

I am just jumping back into Pilates and love this studio! I really like that there are a variety of classes offered each day at a variety of times. The staff is friendly and it is easy to register and sign up for classes. I'm hooked! read more

I can't say enough about how much I value Coreworks Fitness. I've been going to the Columbia facility for some years now and absolutely love the place. It's a laid-back atmosphere. The instructors are always welcoming and friendly. The class sizes are relatively small so the instructors successfully adapt classes for everyone's level. The classes are top-notch as is the facility itself and the equipment. Highly recommended. read more

Coreworks is a great place for body work like pilates and barre. I have been going here for almost 3 years. The studio is clean and inviting. The instructors and staff are warm and inviting to all. They do a good job of teaching to multi-level classes. The number of advanced classes is limited, but the Reformer 1 & 2 is usually still a good bet for any level. Sticking to my pilates routinw and advancing my practice has helped me ward off injuries from running and other fitness activities. It was also the only thing that got my core back into shape after 2 babies - including a C-section. I highly recommend to all as part of their fitness routine. read more

Comfortable environment with small classes, friendly instructors who are dedicated to providing excellent service. I have been going there about 7 yrs and would not think of going anywhere else . I feel so great after class. read more

I've been going to Coreworks for over a year and would highly recommend this studio. The atmosphere is friendly, welcoming, and cheerful); the instructors are great (I feel that they keep an eye on the individual students, providing necessary corrections and adjustments . . . they don't just lead the class); and the availability of a variety of classes at different times of the day is very convenient. read more

Coreworks is a great place to get in shape with Pilates and Yoga. The staff is wonderful and all of the fellow students are friendly and welcoming as well. If you are looking for a place to try Pilates and yoga for the first time, or just need a new place to try, Coreworks is the place! read more

Fran was so warm in welcoming me back. The studio is very well equipped and inviting. People in the class were friendly. Love Fran's teaching style. Glad to be back. read more

Although the services are provided in a class format, the instructors pay particular attention to each individual to ensure proper form and prevent injury. read more

Only took one Barre class with Sara so far, but loved it. Small class size, knowledgeable instructor - all good.
