Perfect fitness studio with EVERYTHING you need & more! Let's get to the details:…read more STUDIO & LOCATION: Tucked away behind an unassuming building (with FREE PARKING in the lot!) SUPER clean, modern and inviting space. Separate rooms for different classes (Lagree, Boot Camp, etc). Looks brand new with thoughtful touches throughout (bathroom essentials, coffee bar, towel service to name a few). Free lockers, cubbies & showers. Steps away from Wholefoods. Perfect, right?! LAGREE CLASS: Challenging but doable, must try! 50 minutes of heart pumping strength & resistance training. Only 8 mega reformers so make sure you book well in advance though I was able to book same day. ***Be aware, their sessions are not full body, they focus on different muscle groups each day*** INSTRUCTOR: Elizabeth was my instructor- LOVED her! Unlike most studios, she actually went around to correct form (without putting people on blast) and instructions/transitions were crystal clear. Playlist was pretty good too! SERVICE: WOW! Shout out to front desk staff for an extraaaa warm welcome! Super friendly & helpful, even gave me a welcome gift! I've never had a more personalized experience! PRICE: Definitely on the pricier side for drop ins (most I've paid LA to NY), but glad I gave them a try! Totally worth the price if you are looking for an elevated experience. OVERALL: Give Core a try, I'm certain you will not be disappointed! Can't wait to try their boot camp class next, stay tuned for an update! PS- how freakin cute is the sign and HANDWRITTEN card?! I don't know about you but all these little touches just melt my heart- Sign me up already!

Awesome studio ! So clean ! Staff is extremely nice and the owner Denise gave me a walk through …read more They have showers which is great. Lots of space ( In covid days that's important ) ! Took the largree class and will be coming back ! Upon leaving the owner was talking to a disgruntled client and I over heard ( she was a nurse who's been working this whole time and no symptoms so she hasn't gotten tested , Denise was very apologetic but said she would not be able to take a class seeing as how she's been exposed to covid at work ). Being in healthcare myself ( not working now )I can see both sides of the story but I think Denise made the right call considering People work out in close proximity/indoors .

I have worked with a number of Pilates instructors over the years. Maria is the best of the best. I…read morehave back issues; Maria understands and adjusts various exercises accordingly. Maria is fun to work with but, above all, has a comprehensive knowledge of Pilates as evidenced by her teaching other instructors.

I started coming here 5 months ago for Pilates classes (Reformer, specifically). I love it. I've…read moretaken classes with 3 of the instructors (Maria, Clary, and Wendy), and each one gives a great workout. My hubz and I recently began taking Duet classes with Wendy - our masochist idea of a "date night." It's a blast! Wendy is fun, funny, and focused - she makes sure we're doing all the exercises perfectly and that the tasks are appropriate for our skill set (or lack thereof, in some cases). If you're unsure if Pilates is for you/you're a beginner/been out of it for a bit, set up a class with Wendy. I can't say enough great things about her. Anyway, go, sign-up, sweat, and enjoy!

Always clean. Here on a lightly busy Sunday morning. There's a rotating group of equipment that…read moreneeds repairs at any given time but they seem to actually get it repaired on schedule. The gym really does have everything you need, plus a sauna in the locker room which is my favorite part. The showers each have an individual "lobby" area for you to undress before stepping into your own shower. Needless to say, restroom areas are just top notch.

Has a good ambiance. I definitely enjoyed that the gym has a reverse hyper extension.read more

It only took one class for me to absolutely fall in love with this class! They aren't kidding that…read moreall levels are welcome and any ability. I had never taken a formal boxing class before and it was very easy to walk in and feel relaxed in the class format. The instructors are great at keeping the class moving, and helping you out if you need it. Yes, there are people in the class that clearly are 'experienced' boxers, but I have yet to feel any intimidation or hesitation returning to the class. The format of stations and high interval training keeps the class moving and you basically pair up with someone on the same level as you. You don't even have a lot of time to even compare or think about what other groups are doing. Within minutes of the class your heart rate is up, and sweat is coming down. I've only been to about 4 classes now, and have become obsessed with this type of workout. The constant mix up of exercises keeps you on your toes, literally. I love the bag work and partner pad work; but you also get quite the ab workout and other areas of your body covered. The instructors keep you right on time, so you don't have to fear class going over or anything; and if you don't have your own gloves they do provide high quality gear. Everything is very clean and everyone I've had classes with are all extremely nice and welcoming. I'm an avid workout person, and have done things from running to crossfit to rowing, and this might be by far my favorite type of workout yet! I highly recommend this place! [also extremely affordable for the workout you're getting!] Only thing I wish they could change is offering more than the 6pm-7pm group class because working outside of Newport sometimes makes it hard to get there!

Did you ever find a place- any place- that you loved so much, you wanted to tell everyone you knew…read moreabout it, but really wanted to keep it all to yourself, both at once? That's how I feel about What Is Movement. I keep putting off writing this. Because I want to keep it my secret place. But... Really, everyone should check this place out. What Is Movement is a gym/studio owned by Jayme and Jamie, a husband and wife team, who have created this amazing, supportive community. "Boy Jamie" (yes, that's how they refer to each other!) teaches kettle bell, ViPR (google it, seriously, it's so cool), and metabolic resistance training classes, in addition to personal training. "Girl Jayme" teaches yoga, and does private yoga and body work sessions, as well as running a Monday night "stitch and bitch" group. And there are more members of the team: Jessie teaches Forrest yoga on Thursday nights; Gianna teaches yoga three times a week; and they have just added a chiropractor and massage therapist to their growing group of health gurus. I found What Is Movement through Jessie; Jessie is an amazing Forrest yoga teacher. I would drive nearly anywhere for one of her classes. So, I started making my way to Warwick once a week for her class. I found myself enchanted by the atmosphere at What Is Movement, and asked Jessie about the other classes. The ViPR classes especially intrigued me, but I had a pretty significant hand injury, and wasn't sure it would be something I could do. Jessie suggested I talk to Jayme before trying out a class. Jayme knows his... Stuff. Since I first talked to him, I've tried all of his classes, and have been consistently impressed with his ability as an instructor in every modality. He watches each student, remembers injuries and provides modifications, and plans for each person to be successful in every single class. I leave his classes sweaty and sore, but stronger and more confident each time. Jayme's enthusiasm is contagious! And you'll get to know how intense the class will be by what music is blasting when you walk in (Metallica? It's gonna be as upper intense class). Jamie is also a skilled instructor, who uses her knowledge of yoga and anatomy to make each class beneficial for each student. Her bodywork sessions leave you feeling more free, able to breathe deeper. She brings a calm, healing warmth to both her classes and individual sessions. So that's my secret. A wonderful place, supportive community, run by knowledgable and caring people. You really should try it out.
