This is a wonderful studio, and I'm so happy that I found it. While I am very active (running,…read moreskiing), I really felt like I could stand to improve my core strength. I've never enjoyed yoga, so I thought I would give Pilates a try. As someone who has never been particularly flexible, though, I'll admit that I was a little nervous. I booked my first private appointment to learn the ropes, and I had a wonderful experience. Andrea is a great instructor-- encouraging and helpful. She knows just when to push me, and she makes adjustments to ensure that I'm not cheating on the reformer (I have one side that is stronger than the other, and she keeps a close eye on my form). I'm totally hooked now-- I've been doing private seasons twice a week for two months, and I've even been in for a group session that I also loved (Kristine is also a fantastic instructor). The studio is clean, spacious, and bright (lots of natural light, which I love). Even in a group setting you don't feel like you are on top of anyone else, and if you have a private session booked while there are other sessions in progress there are two private rooms. The equipment is clean and in great shape, and everyone is very friendly and welcoming (regardless of your ability). I'm just so pleased that I found this gem so close to home!

Let me tell you why Core Pilates checks all the boxes. 1) The environment is tremendous. The skilled instructors (yes, they know what they are doing) are positive, helpful, and make you feel that you are in a private lesson! Kathleen is outstanding and should I also mention fun. 2) Unbelievably spotless. The machines are wiped down after every class. The entire place is so clean! You can tell that the owner, Chanda, takes great pride in making sure her business is done right. She is hands on and always available if you have questions, concerns, etc. 3) Variety of programs to fit your needs. I have only done the Classic reformer classes, which I love, but there are so many others to choose from. 4) Childcare. This is a biggie for moms who want to stop in and do a class and know their child is in good hands. I guess you can sense that I really love this place. If you have been thinking about starting Pilates or trying any of the other classes that they offer, I truly believe you will love Core Pilates as much as I do. They also have a free introductory class on Saturdays at 12noon. Do this once and I feel confident in saying that you will be h

Their stretching class on Tuesday and Thursdays is life-changing. It's active stretching, sometimes using tennis balls, or yoga straps and blocks. There's no muscle group too small to cover and you'll leave not just relaxed but maybe even taller. No kidding! Doing one of the leg stretching exercises Chanda leads, you can actually see the leg you start with has lengthened at the end of the exercise--so then you do the other leg to even out! After two years of hunching over a computer in grad school and an injury that took me out of running, the Pilates classes really started restoring my strength, and fix my neck and shoulder problems. One thing that sets this studio apart from others in my experience is the knowledge and willingness to correct form that all the instructors have. Another is the small scale and sense of community. The instructors all really get to know the students and students get to know each other.

I think the instructor was Krista but not 100% sure... but she was really great though. Also loved the music playlist & whole overall vibe. Excited to return & try more classes whenever I'm in town visiting family. (The studio is located around back not off the main street how it seemed on the map. It was Sunday so everything seemed deserted but then walked around the side & back... there's a parking lot that the studio opens up from.)
