Core Fitness

I love this place! I take Pilates so my review is about that and the studio in general. I started taking classes with Nanci about five years ago and have always been really happy with their service and pricing.
I really like the fact that the fitness routine changes every week. Though most of the workouts are centered around the reformer there are also Bosu days, tower days, jump board, and once there was the dreaded Pilates chair day… :)
Nanci is a great instructor and is VERY good about helping with modifications for injuries.

I tried out a Pilates class here through my ClassPass membership and found it to be just okay.
The studio/​facility is small and looks pretty home-​run. Nothing fancy. It’s basically one big space separated into two areas, one for barre and one for pilates. The pilates reformers are set up on the ground, which was new to me. They still work the same, so there’s nothing wrong with that.
There’s definitely a sense of community here. The instructor knows the regulars and everyone’s very friendly and comfortable with each other. The clientele is on the older side compared to the pilates studios I normally go to.
The class itself seemed to reflect the clientele in the sense that I didn’t find it particularly challenging workout. We didn’t use weights like I’ve done in most of the pilates classes I’ve been to, and I didn’t feel much of a burn in any of the exercises. I guess I could have increased the resistance. There also wasn’t any music, so instead of a high energy workout, it felt a lot slower and lighter.

I have been going to Core Fitness for Barre a few weeks now (I think I am on my 7^th class?). This is everything that I am looking for in fitness classes. It is an intimate studio with instructors who are encouraging, know their stuff and TOTALLY kick your butt at the same time. I took a week off because I was in a fender bender and had some neck funkiness, but even with that I am definitely already seeing more tone all over (swim suit season is HERE, people!). In addition to your standard yoga mats, blocks, straps, and rings that you can use if you don’t have your own, they also they offer free bottled water, which is GREAT for me as I am chronically thirsty.
To counter what other reviews have said, I have never, EVER had a negative encounter with the folks who own the studio. They have always been friendly and super responsive to calls and emails any time that I have asked to reserve a spot for a class. Just because someone doesn’t have a perma-​smile on their face doesn’t mean that they aren’t friendly.
The ONLY complaint that I have is that I wish that they had more classes and more class offerings. Looking at their old Unilocal page, it seems that they used to offer Zumba, which would be awesome! I know that part of this is the size of the studio (cost effectiveness, etc). Hopefully they drum up enough interest to offer more times and more kinds of classes!

I have been taking Pilates classes for around 3 years and just started coming here a couple of months ago. I am very happy especially as compared to the other facility I attended. Nancy is friendly and knows her stuff and also changes up the routines each week. That was not the case where I had been going. It isn’t hard to get into the classes and she will actually teach one if there are only 2 students signed up! The other instructor, Jennifer (I think) is also very good.

You guys have to try the Barre classes! They’re wonderful for strengthening the core and stretching out your muscles! This class reduced most of the pain from my boot camp class by God’s grace! Mon, Thu, Fri, Sat.

The barre class taught by Dani is amazing! I love taking classes at the gym but I was hesitant taking this class because I have no experience with barre, dance, pilates etc. Dani is a great instructor who really knows how to teach all levels and make everyone feel comfortable. This is one of those classes that you leave from feeling satisfied that you got a great workout. I can’t wait to go again!

I’m giving the two stars for the person at the front. The instructors are actually great. I drop in when I can. Honestly I would go more but I do t like dealing with the guy at the front desk. He’s so rude, lacks any personality and can be extremely condescending. Another thing that bugged me was that I was given a groupon last year which is how I heard about this. Then I went back w one I bought for myself. He wouldn’t let me use it and instead told me I needed to use it for a membership. I ended up paying an extra $ 10 on top of my Groupon and he still charged me for the class. How tacky. Now I feel total ripped off and don’t want to have to face this guy again.
