I highly recommend Core Collective for anyone wanting to try Pilates for the first time! I have been going to Core Collective for over a year now, and I was so nervous in my first class, but the environment is so welcoming, I kept coming back. The memberships are very reasonably priced, especially if you're a student. I love the variety of the reformer and mat classes, and the instructors provide modifications and amplifications so everyone can move at their pace. Core Collective is one of my favorite places here in Ann Arbor and I literally drag all my friends to take a class with me. read more

Phew! What a workout. I love coming here for my weekly Pilates class. The instructors are very encouraging and push you to do your best. The nice thing about Pilates is that you can workout at your own pace, and the music keeps you moving. If you have any questions or are having trouble with a specific exercise, the instructors are attentive and come to help you. I like that the instructor also host a weekly walking club, which is a great passive exercise. Love coming here! read more

My favorite place ever!! Where do I begin! I've been taking classes at Core Collective for over a year now and I immediately signed up for a membership after my first class. The atmosphere in the studio is the best, and the instructors are so kind and make the classes fun and challenging. It truly is the best workout and they have various types of classes to choose from. No class is the same which I absolutely love, you don't get bored from doing the same class over and over again. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone who is looking to try pilates! You'll be hooked :) read more

Core Collective - Pilates Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Hey - I know you're wondering - is this the place for me? It is. Is this place going to work with me? They will. Am I going to be ok even if I haven't exercised a super ton in the past year? ABSOLUTELY! How do you know? Because I asked myself and the trainers at Core the same questions - and I've enjoyed every class I've taken! I have a rotator cuff injury - they helped with accommodations. I have a lower ab injury - they helped me keep moving. I'm not the biggest fan of exercise but Core Collective Reformer classes don't feel like exercise, just fun. Just go - do it. I am certain you'll love it just as much as I do. read more

I absolutely love Core Collective! As a student, the prices are very reasonable and there are so many class time options which is great for my busy schedule. I absolutely love Lauren's classes, especially her mat classes. The workout is tough but manageable and perfect for those in all stages of Pilates strength. I highly recommend read more

Core Collective is an inclusive pilates class that makes me feel at home and comfortable working out. I wanted to focus on stretching and balance and so I was looking at other pilates classes. I found this one online and fell in love. I enjoy the enthusiasm that the instructors bring especially Lauren! They are super helpful with the form and educate us on our anatomy. I highly recommend this class and tip the first class is free to see if you vibe with it. But be careful after my first class I signed up on the spot and still going today. Everyone brings a good energy and my personal favorite class is the stretch or classic. FYI the classics are great for beginners like me hehe read more

Core Collective - Pilates Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I highly recommend Core Collective! Prior to joining the studio, I had never taken a pilates class before, or even seen a reformer, but all of the instructors were very intentional in making me feel welcome and helping me get used to the classes. There are a wide variety of class times, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends, which is super helpful to be able to go around my work schedule, and the scheduling app is easy to use. I've never felt like I'm just taking the same class over and over again because the instructors do an amazing job incorporating different equipment and exercises that keep classes engaging. Go check out Core Collective! read more

Such an amazing atmosphere! All the instructors do their best to remember your name and make every class a personal experience. There are a variety of classes from chill stretching to body kicking workouts leaving your muscles shaking. Pricing is great, especially the student deals read more

One year later and I'm still going...WOW! I'm still not perfect at pilates but I'm ok with that. More importantly it's the little things I've noticed over the last 12 months...like how I feel much stronger and can lift things easier. Plus it's such a wonderfully inclusive and supportive workout environment. I'm so grateful for Core Collective! read more

I just recently moved to Ann Arbor and decided to try something new. The moment I stepped into the Core Collective studio, I felt welcomed and comfortable. After my first class, I immediately signed up for the monthly pass with no hesitation. Each class is different and every single instructor has been nothing but kind. Highly recommend if you want to try something new or just want to feel supported every time you workout! read more

I had never tried reformer Pilates but I've done yoga for the past 8 years of my life. I just moved to Ann Arbor 6 months ago and was looking for something that sculpted and toned as well as had some cardio but not like a heavy weight-lifting type of work out. Then I tried a free first class at Core Collective, a Fundamentals class that taught the basic movements of the reformer Pilates and I definitely wanted more. Lauren helped me book a trial week (3 classes for $29) and I tried a variety: classic, cardio, core jump and I loved the different focuses of each class. Jump and cardio had more cardio and classic had more toning but definitely not exclusively. I am officially hooked because I don't ever dread going to a class here, the instructors Lauren and Emily are so so warm and it feels like a close knit family, non-judgmental environment. I do the 8 classes/$118 membership and honestly, I am getting more classes in than I used to with an unlimited monthly yoga membership. I'm so glad I found them! read more

Great studio, great instructors. Highly recommend. Such a variety of classes with multiple time slots!

Came here in Jan '21 when I was dealing with some chronic low back and SI joint pain. Nothing would fix it. I'm a figure skater and my PT recommended I try pilates for core strength. That was about a year ago and I'm still attending and feeling stronger than I ever have in my life. My back pain is greatly reduced and I know it's from attending pilates regularly. This place is wonderful and all of the instructors are so kind and supportive. I am not a strong person and need to make modifications often and it's no issue to do that. I feel comfortable and welcome here. It's exciting to actually see results. I never had anything resembling arm muscles until I started going to this studio. Now i actually see definition! CC is the best. read more

Going to Pilates here is the best part of my day! I am so impressed with not only the instructors, but also the results. I feel so much better physically and mentally and I have totally leaned out. The only thing I've changed is adding 2 classes a week. I'm surprised I fell in love with Pilates so much because as an experienced weight lifter I wasn't sure it would be what I wanted, but all I say is wow, it's amazing. I can't wait to up my membership when things settle down. Every class I've taken with the variety of instructors is always a blast and a new challenge. Joining Core Collective is the best decision I've made since moving to Ann Arbor! 12/10 recommend read more

Core Collective - Store front - Pilates Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

So grateful to have found this Pilates studio. They have a range of classes so that I can get strength, cardio and flex here. The space is beautiful and clean. The service / response time for bookings / questions is remarkable. I'm a year and half out from having a kid and started coming here regularly a month back. I didn't think I would feel confident with my core strength any time soon, but this was an ideal place to rebuild. I feel markedly stronger. Thanks, Emily and team! read more

Great studio, owner and instructors! Love everything about it, first time made me feel so welcomed. Must try!

Core collective is a 10/10 for sure! I was living and working in nyc before coming to AA for grad school and I was in desperate need of a reformer Pilates studio when, alas, I found Core Collective :) Every class leaves me feeling like I got a great workout in and it always amazes me how each class targets a different muscle I didn't know I even had. I've taken classes with the owner, Emily, she's super nice and so knowledgeable, and I've also taken lots of classes with Lauren and Lindsey. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and super warm and the studio has been a very welcoming environment and a nice mental/physical break from homework and studying. I've also sent around 4 or 5 fellow classmates to try the studio and they also love it. Highly recommend!! read more

All the instructors here are extremely friendly and supportive. Each class is different, so I never get bored but I also always get a good workout in. As someone who struggles to find the time and motivation to exercise amidst a busy schedule, I have been enjoying these smaller-sized classes that aren't too much commitment (time-wise) and keep you accountable on your fitness journey. Emily has been great from the start, allowing me to be flexible with scheduling. All the instructors are amazing and know how to really challenge you, no matter what stage you're at! They are adding a variety of classes to include different styles of exercising and I am excited for the new challenges! I really like how you can choose if you want more of an intense workout or a relaxing stretch-based workout, depending on your needs. Love love love all the classes so far and can't wait to keep seeing positive results! read more

Core collective does not disappoint!!! First time to Pilates on a reformer and I love it! I have always lifted weights... heavy, due to recent injuries I have had to change my routine. I wasn't sure if I would feel as strong as I did lifting but I do, if not better! Every class has been challenging and fun, all the instructors/teacher are great. They all have helpful feedback for me when I've asked questions. Classes are always a little different, definitely keep it interesting and challenging! read more

I love Core Collective! The instructors create a friendly and inclusive environment where people of all levels feel welcome. Each class is different, and I always leave feeling challenged yet strong. The class packs are great and app makes it easy to book and change classes. Would highly recommend! read more

I have always wanted to try reformer pilates but was too intimidated. I scheduled a 1:1 session with Emily because I didn't know if I would be able to keep up in the group classes. She is so encouraging and positive and after our session said I'd do well in the classes so I faced my fears and gave those a shot. CC is inclusive and positive and now I'm hooked. The instructors are all amazing. You can tell looking around the studio, all the love and attention to small detail they have put in to make you feel at home. I'm gaining strength, improving my posture, and now have a healthy modality for releasing stress. CC has become my happy place, and I would definitely recommend it. read more

I have been a member of Core Collective for a little over six months and I cannot say enough good things about this studio and the instructors. This Pilates studio is very accessible, relatable, fun, and genuine. All the instructors are super kind and really meet everyone where you're at and help you learn and adjust to keep you safe and moving in a healthy way. I would recommend the studio to anyone interested in getting stronger, more flexible, and generally wanting a good workout! Thank you Core Collective for opening up in Ann Arbor read more

I would definitely recommend Core Collective as a studio to learn Pilates. The instructors are very kind, the routines are fun, you get a good work out without the impact. I love the fact that the instructors keep changing the exercise routines this ensures you are constantly challenged and don't get bored. The space itself is very inviting and creates a sense of calm. read more

I have been doing Pilates Reformer on and off for years and by far, Core Collective is THE one and only place that has kept me consistent. The membership plans are affordable. The instructors make you feel welcomed. The studio is clean and well-equipped. The workouts are the best- challenging and fun. I have become stronger mentally and physically. I notice a major difference, such as decrease in low back pain and increase in pelvic floor strength. If you are even thinking of trying it out, the first class is free! Trust me- you will not regret it! read more

LOVE!!!! Core Collective has quickly become one of my favorite places. I am so grateful for the environment they cultivate there - kind, supportive, fun, free from shame! I always always leave happier than when I arrived. All of the instructors I've had have been great, often provide options for modifications, and are so encouraging and kind. The space itself is beautiful and clean. I love the variety of class options. I love how strength, flexibility, and cardio are combined in most of the workouts and moves. The price is a steal, in my opinion. I highly recommend trying it if you're in the fence. I had never done reformer pilates and within a week of trial classes it was my favorite. 10/10 recommend :) read more

This place is a gem! Every single instructor has been wonderful and the classes are challenging, but not too much. I love that the instructors verbally encourage us during class and remind us to breathe (I tend to hold my breath). I signed up for 8 classes a month and am absolutely loving it! read more

I am so happy I found Core Collective here in Ann Arbor! This is such a warm and friendly place to workout. I love the variety of classes that are offered and the instructors are all super helpful and sweet. I tend to stick with some of the more classic pilates class offerings, but they offer a really great stretch class on Wednesday evenings that is a really great way to take a moment for yourself and reset midweek. The studio also organizes a lot of fundraisers and outdoor excursions (i.e., paddle boarding) that are so much fun, and it's nice to support a small business that gives back to the community. You're the best, Core Collective! read more

Core collective Ann Arbor is the first place I have truly loved to work out. All the instructors are so knowledgeable, friendly, and all together bring such an amazing experience to reformer pilates. I have always loved pilates but have never experienced it in such an effective way as I have at this studio. I have brought friends and family to these classes and they ALWAYS want to come back. Emily is an amazing owner and runs an incredible business. Whether you are just beginning or have experience, Core Collective is the best place. read more

Joining Core Collective was one of the best decisions I've made since I moved to Ann Arbor. The studio has such a positive atmosphere and I get a great workout every time. I love that the instructors are always introducing new Pilates moves that I've never done before, which keeps each class fun and exciting. I wasn't a Pilates person before joining, but now I look forward my workout the whole day. I can't recommend this studio highly enough! read more

While I don't know if anyone else still attends classes virtually, I really, really appreciate Emily and her instructors commitment to safety and a good workout experience. I've been a member since the beginning and so happy to be able to continue to attend virtually. No two workouts are the same and all the instructors are fantastic on making sure I can see what move we're doing next. I'll eventually get myself back into the studio for an in-person class, but I still super appreciate the virtual option! Thanks Emily, Lauren, and team! read more

This is a great studio! I had never done Pilates before and was pretty nervous to try, but it was a very welcoming environment and the instructors tailored their exercises to my abilities. They also have several different class times which is great for someone whose schedule is all over the place. Would definitely recommend. read more

Perfect for pilates at every stage. Builds strength and the instructors are super nice and knowledgeable. They teach really well and help out. Love it! read more

When I started taking pilates classes at Core Collective I was very cautious. I am an older person with a lot of sports injuries and I didn't know what to expect. I quickly learned that the workouts were fantastic and Emily, Lauren and all of the other instructors that I had were very attentive. After 6 months of attending 3 to 4 classes a week my core strength and my posture both improved noticeably. My husband noticed the changes and started taking classes too. I highly recommend Core Collective for a good workout and a friendly atmosphere. read more

This is my first time joining a Pilates studio and I have fallen in love! Pilates is an important part of my routine now. It has drastically improved my posture and I've noticed myself getting much stronger after a few months in the studio. Emily is a great instructor! read more

My absolute favorite place in all of Ann Arbor. Always a great workout and such a supportive staff. Highly recommend trying it out!!

I normally don't leave reviews but this is my absolute favorite place to workout in Ann Arbor. Moving here I tried all different types of gyms and places to workout and classes and none of them really resonated with me until I found Core Collective. I'm so thankful to the trainers, especially Tiffany, for making me feel so welcomed and helping me fall in love with Pilates. If you're looking for a new spot or just can't find one you like, look no further! This place is the best!!! read more

After trying mat pilates on my own for a few months, I was excited to find a place close to home where I could benefit from real-time and professional feedback on safe form and technique. I am new to reformer pilates, but the instructors here are incredibly encouraging and make pilates accessible and fun. There is wonderful variety in the class offerings and each class is different so it is impossible to get bored - I look forward to every visit! read more

I've done a variety of workouts over the years -- ranging from HIIT to even MMA classes (VERY short-lived, thank God). My biggest hurdle is boredom with the exercises, which begets lack of motivation. Also, if I don't like what I'm doing, or I don't vibe with the studio/gym/workout, I won't waste my time. So after more than a year of not exercising due to work and COVID, I decided that now was the time to start investing in my health again. I was curious about Pilates as I heard that it would improve my core strength and posture. I wanted a place that would motivate me to stick to a regimen, and I wanted a trainer who would keep an eye on my form to minimize injury. Throughout my online research, Core Collective came up pretty consistently and with high ratings. They offered a free first class, so I signed up for it. In the most positive way, I can say that it kicked my butt. I was hooked immediately and signed up for more classes, where my butt continues to be kicked 4-5x/week. I cannot say enough good things about this studio: 1) 45 minutes -- it goes by fast! 2) variety of exercises -- I continue to be amazed by what one can do with the Pilates Reformer machine. There is emphasis on quality over quantity when performing these exercises as well. 3) variety of classes and times -- they offer more cardio or yoga-based classes. Times range from 6a-730p. 4) existence of modification -- if it compromises form, the instructors will encourage and show the class how to modify the exercise. I've never felt judged for having to do this from time to time (because everyone else is working their own butts off). 5) instructors -- all friendly and highly motivated, and will walk around the room to correct your form. There are max 11 people in a class, which makes it feel more personal. 6) vibe -- this is a BIG one for me. The studio is incredibly welcoming to everyone of all shapes, sizes, and expertise level. There is no pretension, made up anatomical explanation for the exercises, no fake spiritual taglines or forced meditation during class. The only thing I regret is not signing up earlier! The 45 minutes that I spend here, it's time spent focusing on myself and what my body can do. It's a form of meditation for me, I feel good at the end of the class, and I always look forward to the next one! read more

I've new to the studio and really appreciate the friendly vibe and comfortable relaxing studio.
