They all carry a 500hour comprehensive certification, while also being so friendly, kind, and helpful. I know group classes can be intimidating at first, but the instructors at Core really make everyone feel comfortable, seen, and safe. My favorite instructor here for the longest time has been April. She's so knowledgeable, sweet, and helpful, taking her classes are the best parts of my week. I've started branching out and taking other instructors' classes and honestly, I can't say enough great things about all of them. I also highly recommend trying all the different types of classes. Pilates is a system and we're supposed to use all the different apparatuses, don't be afraid to try them out! The studio itself has a cozy and inviting vibe. There are 2 floors, the ground level has 4 studio reformers, 5 exo chairs, a barrel, and a Cadillac. Upstairs has 5 allegro 2 reformers. They offer every kind of group class you could want from a Pilates studio, as well as private sessions, if you're looking for one on one learning.If you've been interested in starting Pilates, this would be the studio for you, it's been a haven for me. The studio is located in a neighborhood and there's always easy free parking, which is so convenient.

My FIRST pilates class in the books, and I couldn't have picked a better place to do it! A friend…read moreof mine has been going to Core Chicago Pilates classes for about a year, and I was finally able to join her for a class last night! Core Chicago has two floors for classes, and ours took place in the upstairs space. Our class held 4 people, so it's very intimate and makes it easy to get 1:1 attention with the instructor! Reform pilates classes can be super intimidating because the machinery looks like a medieval contraption to those of us newbs! Luckily for me, our instructor Maggie put any nerves I had at ease right away. She was SO welcoming and immediately walked me through the reformer and how we would be using it in this class. She also made a point to ask if I had any injuries or muscle/joint issues to be aware of. The class itself was so much fun, but still challenging. I loved being able to train my body in a new way, while also incorporating stretches and not being completely exhausted and burned out afterwards. Maggie assisted me every step along the way, and never made me feel bad for being new and totally clueless! She also showed me minor tweaks in form that made the BIGGEST difference. I really loved my class here overall and will definitely be back! It's a fun workout that's challenging and a great way to switch things up from the regular gym routine.

Any extreme will take its toll on you... & my daily aches & stiffness remind me of such. I've attended 3 classes so far, all virtually - which I appreciate so much given the winter weather & the pandemic. My absolute favorite class is Candlelight Yoga with Aasha. I find ending my stressful week with this class so necessary & I feel refreshed & relaxed after. I love that we're asked what parts of the body may need attention & we'll work through some poses to help... & they do! Despite being hyper mobile, I can still get a good stretch & be challenged. Class ends with meditation & before you know it, any drama & stress from the previous days are gone. If you're on the fence of starting a new healthy habit, give this place a try. Your mind & body will thank you for it!

I walked in expecting to learn the basics of Pilates form as well as learning the basics of the reformer. The instructor Aileen provided the basics and a whole lot more!! Not only did we go through the basics of Pilates, including breath work, pelvic positioning, and technique, but we learned so much about the history of Pilates. While we performed basic movements the reformer, Aileen went into great detail about where Pilates originated during the war and how it became to be the widely loved practice it is today. This was definitely a beginners class so I wouldn't recommend if you're already experienced with the various pieces of equipment including the reformer and the chair.

Pam is a great instructor!…read more I have take private and group Pilates classes with her and they are always excellent. In private sessions she's always been able to tailor the workout to the specific area I want or need to focus on at that time. In group classes she does a great job to ensure each participant gets the most out of the class, regardless of their level of ability or conditioning. I've also taken her yoga and mat Pilates classes at McFetridge Sports Center and other locations. They are challenging and have a great flow. I wish I had the time to work with Pam more frequently.

I feel strong and focused in her classes, and I'm willing to bet others do too because I've seen the same men and women return week after week. She's also very down to earth and lovely to be around.

I've been coming here a couple months, and cannot say enough about the class structure and instructor. Since I'm a way beginner, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, this workout is different from classes I've taken for yoga, Zumba and most cardio-type class structures, since I didn't have to just "pick up" where the class was at. The class instructor (Stirling) is excellent, and takes time to show you each move and guides you every step of the way. He is very thorough, non-critical, peaceful, skilled and patient. It's a class you can take at any level and not feel lost or behind. If you're advanced, Stirling has been doing Tai Chi since the 70s and is skilled in the various forms, such as sword form. He has a lot of students that are at advanced levels and can also provide instruction. If you're a beginner like me, the practice is so fascinating and you don't necessarily need practice/knowledge to start, since you will definitely learn and "feel" when the moves are correct. There are a lot of underlying principals when it comes to perfecting the form - learning these has had a huge impact on my progress. Learning how each move can be used in combat is so empowering! Benefits I've gotten: A lot of energy as opposed to lethargic, physical and mental balance and strength, reduced stress/increased calmness, greater ability to focus, and stronger legs, arms and core
