I am a newbie here, but I am absolutely in love. I have never felt more comfortable around instructors than I do with the ones here. They are super encouraging, warm, and friendly. I am sleeping better, feeling more energized, and more in tune with my body since starting pilates. I highly recommend Pilates Heartcore to anyone and cant than my friends enough for referring me. read more

I have never done Pilates before in my life, but was looking for a workout that would benefit my lower back pain. It has only been 1 month since I started working with Katie and the Pilates Heartcore team and I am truly amazed with the results! My body feels so much stronger and my back pain is gone! I look forward to every class and learn something new each time. The instructors are all amazing and committed to making you feel great about yourself! #Plankyou Pilates Heartcore! read more

Pilates Heartcore is the best Pilates studio ever! Katie is so fun and such an awesome instructor. I started taking classes from her a few months after I had my baby, and after just a few months, my body looked a felt better than it did pre-baby! I feel so much stronger and my posture has improved dramatically. I promise that once you take one class, you will be hooked! read more

Katie is the spunkiest and most fun instructor I have ever worked with! Her personality keeps me coming back and the workouts make my week. If you haven't tried a class with Katie, you are missing out! read more

Before going to Katie, I had no clue what Pilates was. She offers a free class for beginners and explains how Pilates will improve your core/ flexibility/ and posture. I was skeptical as I was former college athlete and I'm used to fast pace work outs with a lot of cardio involved. Katie got me on the reformer and kicked my butt. After I left my first class I was wiped out but felt great about the experience. What's cool about Pilates is that anyone of any body shape can do it as it is based on resistance and form. So different body shapes can be doing the same exact work out just on different resistance. I'm very excited for the studio to open up and the classe times are extremely schedule friendly if you work a 9-5 job. I would definitely recommend Heartcore to anyone who is interested in toning up! read more

Watch out for their strict cancellation policy. They don't tell you about it until it's too late. I purchased 8 private lessons and due to illness and work ended up having to cancel on 4 at various points. I didn't realize I forfeited those 4 until it was too late. You'd think after my first (or second) cancellation someone would say " hey, are you familiar with our cancellation policy." On top of that I was asked if I could be flexible with my trainers schedule which was no problem. But Don't expect the same flexibility back. I will give my trainer kudos. She was great and was hoping to work with her longer. But bottom line. There are too many Pilates studios in town to be so treated poorly at this one. read more

I've had lower back issues that really became unbearable when doing circuit type training. I've tried focusing on low impact equipment such as an elliptical machine and still suffered. About the only thing I could consistently do is walking. But after committing to Pilates for 4 weeks with Katie, 3 times a week, I can see a remarkable difference in my strength and flexibility as well as general wellness. My back still gives me trouble, but I can tell that it is getting stronger. And I love that Katie can point out a small correction that makes a world of difference in how the exercise affects your body. She takes the time to teach you why your muscles behave the way the do and how to 'encourage' them to engage. And I can honestly say that I've never dreaded going to Pilates. I can't say that for any other type of exercise I've done. read more

Pilates Heartcore classes are fun with good music and a hard workout. Pilates is like strength training and stretching at the same time. Plus you get a good sweat going. It's a good addition to my regular gym and boxing gym workouts. They mix it up a lot so no class is the same. I highly recommend. read more

I've been doing Pilates for years in different formats (mat, props, reformer) and this has been my favorite studio by far. There's a great balance of traditional and modern Pilates and everyone is very friendly. Katie and Emily will prompt modifications to make an exercise easier or harder for different fitness levels or to accommodate different injuries or concerns as well. There's a strong focus on abs and core (obviously) but no muscle group is neglected, and exercises are changed at a good interval (giving you enough time develop good form and really feel the benefits, but not too long you get bored or your body stops progressing). Additionally, Katie and Emily will incorporate requests for targeting certain muscles/areas on occasion. I recently moved away and miss this studio all the time. Katie also has the cutest dogs and shows pictures of them all the time. read more

This studio is amazing! The new Sunrise studio location is spacious and gorgeous and always immaculately clean. The owner Katie is seriously passionate about sharing the joy and magic of Pilates with everyone that walks through the door. They offer a free introduction to Pilates class once or twice a month that is outstanding. Katie has a way of introducing the pilates principles and showing you the fundamental exercises in a fun and engaging way. Her infectious passion is so contagious that you can't help but fall in love with all things Pilates and this amazing studio. All of the instructors are knowledgeable and equally as passionate about helping people build and grow their Pilates practice as well. The scheduling system is seamless and the pricing is very reasonable. If you live or work in the Rancho area, I recommend you check it out! It's probably going to be your new favorite place to unwind, de-stress, and get super strong. read more

I didn't know what Pilates was at first and I didn't know that Pilates teaches body awareness, helps develop good posture, increases strength and flexibility, and creates a toned body. I have been strength training for a little over two years now and I was tired of experiencing lower back pain. Due to the constant increase in weight for barbell squats, dead lifts, shoulder press and chest press, it was taking a toll on my body. I have taken classes with Katie for about 6 months now and I've seen a remarkable difference from my body 6 months ago compared to now. All thanks to Katie and Pilates, my lower back is stronger, my overall posture has improved and my core has become a lot stronger allowing my strength training to continue! I now cross train Pilates twice a week with my strength training and I don't plan on doing one without the other moving forward. Katie is funny and was able to make my Pilates experience very enjoyable and challenging every single time. read more

I love Katie and her team of instructors! They are exceptionally knowledgeable about Pilates and it's benefits, but at the same time recognize life has very real demands and setbacks. So their approach is to help the students fit Pilates into their lives without demanding that life is all about Pilates. Furthermore, they celebrate each step in each students' Pilates progression without ever making a student feel compared to another. Katie's goal is to help each student improve his or her well-being without subscribing to an "ideal". Don't misunderstand, she will work your butt off. I've left many classes and private sessions with a serious wobble from taxed muscles. But every class has that perfect balance of cursing the instructors for pushing us just past our comfort level, while at the same time feeling grateful for recognizing a new or improved ability we never would have thought possible. If you've ever thought Pilates looks interesting, but intimidating, this is the place you must go to try it out. I promise you won't regret it. read more

This experience was not positive from the start. I tried to call and schedule for an appointment and no one answered the phone. After many attempts, I just showed up. I've done Pilates before, however, the owner explained that this was not an appropriate class for me and said the class was full. It was clearly not full and the owner was taking the class. I'm grateful for this bad experience because I found a wonderful yoga studio that was much more accommodating and friendly. read more

I have fallen so hard for pilates and for Pilates Heartcore! This is a place where you will be challenged, changed- both physically and mentally, and made to feel right at home. I have been attending classes for 3 months and cannot believe how different I look and feel! You will never walk out of this beautiful studio without a nice, sore body and a gigantic grin. Katie, the owner, is incredible and lives and breathes pilates- all she wants to do is share her love with the world. I absolutely adore each instructor, as well, they are warm, funny, and ready to help you master pilates, no matter who you are! If you are looking for a new kind of workout that will dramatically improve your life- you have to check out Pilates Heartcore! read more

Love love love this studio, its rockstar instructors, and the community of students. I have always led an active lifestyle and have practiced yoga for years but after having twins, my core, hips, and back were a wreck. After consistently practicing Pilates for a year, I'm pain free, strong and firm, more confident in my workouts in and out of the studio, and my posture has greatly improved. Pilates is a game changer for me and I have Katie and her team to thank! They continue to challenge and support me in each class. One minute you may be swearing under your breath because it's so dang hard but the next minute you feel amazing, proud, and/or you're laughing out loud. One of my favorite things about this studio is that the instructors and students are real. If you're on the fence about trying Pilates, try this studio and do your body a favor and show it some self-care. You'll be so thankful you did. read more

Just finished my initial rehab classes with Kaleen at this great pilates studio. Have had back and hip issues for a couple of years and my dr recommended this. Katie, Emily and Kaleen are so nice and, most importantly, patient! So happy I found them! read more

I began working with Katie several months ago and I can honestly say I LOVE it! As I approach 40, I've become more concerned with my overall health in addition to the number on the scale. Since starting Pilates at Heartcore, I've lost 15 pounds, but more importantly, I feel stronger, fitter and more aware of my body! My posture has improved, I carry significantly less stress in my shoulders, and I have absolutely no back pain whatsoever. Katie has taken the time to get to know me and has really pushed me to do more than I ever thought possible! I can't say enough about how much I enjoy Heartcore! The new studio space is amazing! What a bright, beautiful space filled with positive energy! I'm loving the new class offerings that spice up the standard reformer and give me flexibility to work around my crazy work schedule! All of the instructors keep me on my toes but the classes are fun and the time flies by! It truly is my favorite hour of the day! If you're interested in trying Pilates, give Heartcore a try... you will not regret it! read more

Love, love, love, love, love this place! Can not get enough, and can not recommended this place enough. Owner and instructors are amazing. Saw major improvements within just a few classes. First class is free so can't go wrong. Only down side...it becomes an addiction, so beware. It's been a week since I've gone and I'm getting withdrawals. read more

Saturday's class was my first exposure to Pilates so I wasn't sure what to expect but I loved the instructor Katie, the presentation and the obvious one-on-one feel you get from a studio setting. I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone who is serious about Pilates. read more

LOVE this pilates studio! The teachers, the hours, the everything. Katie is an awesome teacher, and so is Emily. These two instructors work one hard and know their stuff-and yet keep it real and-gotta say it-fun! The studio is beautiful and so are the folks that go. The best! read more

Great news to those in the Rancho Cordova area. Pilates Heartcore is here and classes are fun, and pack some power. I am going 3 times a week and can't get enough. I enthusiastically give Pilates Heartcore double thumbs up and a 5-star rating. read more

My favorite place to workout! I have been doing reformer Pilates consistently for about a month and I love it. It's tough to say that someone actually looks forward to going to a workout, but I honestly do. No workout is the same and I am constantly being challenged. I feel myself becoming stronger and my muscles are becoming leaner. I LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

Katie is fun, cool, and incredible at teaching Pilates! You will not be disappointed if you decide to take the plunge and try some classes. Don't be scared! You'll love it! read more
