Going from backaches in second pregnancy to struggling to get myself to even do self care was possible with what all Central Core provides as part of their membership & services. Blessing in disguise are her short routinized pilates videos that make the "workout" habit a feasibility for rat race life I experience! She's also always available to answer any questions or concerns we as clients have when it comes to health! Availability, transparent communication, flexibility, accountability, guidance, recommendation, customization, variety & novelty.. all describe what Central Core offers!

That is why I was shocked when I found another business in the area that rocks what they do, and a great value. This is Central Core! Central Core is hard to pin down exactly what they do (fitness studio, Pilates,group classes, etc?) as they offer so many unique classes. I met the owner & head trainer Misha. She is super passionate and knowledgeable in lots of aspects of training and getting the most out of your training time (super important). I decided to try the pilates class first. Pilates is the class that uses those cool glide type equipment and resistance straps. I have always wanted to try this, and glad I did. This class was lead by Misha. It was nice there was another man in the class and had another person who had done Pilates class before. The class really hit almost all the core body parts and enjoyed the WHOLE body experience. Misha tailored the exercises to each persons strengths and needs. Perfect class. I was sore and felt stronger all at the same time. With that positive experience I signed up for TRX (those cool yellow straps) and their pump and jump class (back to back classes, booya!). These were taught by Cameron another instructor here, and she was very helpful. She kept the class motivated and pushed us. I really liked both classes. The trx exercises really helped both isolate the muscles a good burn. I also appreciated that it helped give extra support for my knees while letting the exercises really work my muscles. The pump and jump is a modified Pilates class and switch off with weight training. I liked the Pilates jump and it really helped my focus on my legs and kept my knees strong. (Also fun to jump jump...) I really like the feel of the studio. Supportive staff that take the time to really care about us (the students) is just the start for an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend trying out a few classes (Pilates, trx), and see for yourself. What is your favorite class?

Change Your Life While Having Fun…read more.. My wife and I are seniors in our 70s, but remain active. I've gone to the gym 3 days a week for many years while she's taught Jazzercise and gone to Zumba classes for a long, long time. But something was missing. Pilates at Tabula Rasa is a kick in the pants. Pilates is meant to strengthen your core muscles. Between introductory sessions and a package of 10 classes for $275...all with the owner, Vanessa (although there are other trainers)... we've worked on things we didn't know existed. - Overall: 5 - Owner: 5+ - Getting Started: 5 - Range of Classes: 5 - Online Management: 5 - Yurt: 5 - Class Size: 5 - Personal Attention: 5+ - Cost: 4 - Location: 5 - Facilities: 5 - Parking in Dry Weather: 5 - Parking in Wet Weather: ? Pros: - The owner, Vanessa Dominguez, is amazing. Her knowledge, ability to explain and pay attention to each person even in a class of 2-6 people is uncanny. Her energy is breathtaking - literally. If we were back in the 1970s or 80s, Vanessa would be on TV with best selling videos. - Sample the equipment in her studio, ask whatever comes to mind and get a feel for what it's all about at no charge nor obligation. - There's a big range of classes at most hours of the day with several highly skilled and motivating instructors. - Managing your pilates schedule is simple, online and flexible. - All classes are behind Vanessa's house in a "yurt"...a big teepee shaped building with lots of equipment. It's actually quite spacious and comfortable with air conditioning and a big fan dropping down from the center. - Classes are limited to 6 people, although most we've seen had 2-4. Lots of personal care if you need it and each session is tailored to the attendees. - Cost is not "cheap", but reasonable - Location is convenient for residents of Nipomo - it's within a mile of Trilogy and Black Lake - and not bad for those in Arroyo Grande. - If you're hungry, thirsty or need a bathroom, she's got feee snacks, water and facilities. - There's a big parking lot in front of Vanessa's house for cars and trucks. Con: - Yes, there's one con. The parking lot is not paved so when the rainy season arrives there will probably be lots of mud. Our weekly pilates session changed our lives. Now all we've got to do is find a good place to park when things are wet.

I found Justin on Yelp in May 2018. I was recovering from back and elbow surgeries and had been…read morehaving a really hard time getting back into the shape I wanted, even with dramatic changes in my diet and a lot of cardio workouts. As soon as I met with him for my initial consultation, I knew that not only was he extremely knowledgeable about fitness and lifting (I myself have been lifting for over 20 years), but that his positive attitude and consistent encouragement were exactly what I would need to get things back on the right track. And, he's not just talk - I see him at another local gym daily putting in the work for himself. That made a big difference for me, too. We have been working together doing 30 minute sessions twice a week for about eight months and not only am I down almost 40 pounds (not accounting for what I've gained in muscle), my entire outlook on life has changed. I feel a confidence I have never felt, and although I know I am the one who has put in the work and has never missed a single session, Justin pushes me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME and reminds me constantly that it's up to me to be the best version of myself. I have even been able to get back to teaching spin classes, a long lost love of mine and a welcome addition to my day job as an attorney! I truly believe I would not be where I am today without Justin, and I could not be more grateful. If you want the real deal in a trainer, look no further!

I trust Sam to come up with workouts that aren't too hard for me, but yet are challenging. He also gives me direction on what kind of exercise to do on non-training days and, though not a nutritionist, he has recommended some great books to help me with my relationship with food. If you are serious about getting fit (whether it's losing weight, building muscle, or both) I can't recommend Sam highly enough. I look forward to continuing my weightloss journey with Sam.

They don't just throw you a generic workout plan and tell you to hit it. Emily, the owner, took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve, what motivated me, and what my limitations were. It felt like a real conversation, not just filling out a form. And it goes way beyond just the weights! We talked about nutrition, sleep, hydration, my whole lifestyle. Emily gave me a plan that fit into the real me, not some fantasy version that wouldn't last a week. But the best part? This feels like a true partnership. Emily made it clear she could be as detailed as I needed, but she'd also hold me accountable in a way that works for ME. It wasn't a one-size-fits-all approach - I saw them working with other clients in completely different ways. And let's talk about Emily, the owner. This isn't just a job for her, it's her passion, her calling. You can see it in the way she explains things, the genuine enthusiasm she brings, and the depth of knowledge she's willing to share. Not once did I feel like she was talking down to me, even when I was asking beginner questions. or when I had uncertainty from other fitness regimens that I've tried. If you're looking for a gym that truly cares about your individual journey, C5 is the place. It's clear they want to see you succeed, and they'll give you the tools and support to get there.
