I was excited when I heard this chain was opening up in Modesto and immediately signed up for the…read moreunlimited class 3-month membership at the discounted price. There were so many different classes to choose from and I was excited to try out classes other than just Pilates. However, after signing up, I saw those other different classes were only offered during a normal persons working hours and the only classes at 4pm and after were just regular Pilates. So in the three months I took classes, the only ones I could go to were the Pilates, Pilates 1.5 and cardio sculpt. Also, their free intro classes were set at prime times that should have been for members. Some instructors were good and seemed to know what they were doing, but others (or just one in particular) seemed like she didn't know what she was doing and it was confusing trying to follow her instructions. Also sometimes the music was too loud, which made it difficult to hear the instructor. I think of Pilates being more mindful and if they are going to play music, it should be serene. Save the current playlists and hip hop for the faster paced cardio classes. And some classes it felt like the last 15-minutes was just for stretching. Which is a long time for a class that is basically that anyways. I have Pilates and barre videos at home that give me a better workout than from here and canceled after my promo was up. I'm a Pilates girlie and have been doing Pilates since 2010. But it's expensive and the ownership of the studio I used to go to changed and it just wasn't the same after that so I canceled and just worked out at home until Club Pilates came to town. I love Pilates, but I think you get what you pay for and the non-chain, individually owned studios are a better pick. They are definitely more expensive, but you get an actual workout. All in all, if you are a beginner and looking for an easy workout at a more affordable price, then check Club Pilates out. If you are more advanced, I would research smaller, individually owned studios (there's a new one in Oakdale that just opened and the owner is amazing - I just do not want to drive to Oakdale or I would go there). The staff is all very nice and it's easy to book classes using their app. Depending on your membership, you can book classes weeks out and even if your are wait listed, there's a good chance you will get in because of people canceling.

This is a beautiful facility that is clean, has super nice equipment, and best of all - everyone was extremely welcoming and kind to us. The staff at the front desk made us feel very welcomed and we were given a tour as well when we got there. We started with using the open gym and had a great upper body workout. They have everything you need for a great pump! Full dumbbells, with benches and lots of machines as well for upper and lower body. They also have every time of workout class! Boxing, Reformer Pilates, HIIT, Cycle, etc. We then took a cycle class and Michele subbed for the class - she kicked our butts - music was so fun with a diverse mix of hip-hop, pop, and EDM. The choreo was challenging, and the leaderboard sprints were also fun to help push us more! If this gym were in SoCal, I'd look at becoming a member right away based on this experience.

However, there is a serious and ongoing issue with cleanliness and pests that can't be ignored. Multiple members have noticed and openly discussed cockroaches in both the gym area and bathroom stalls, as well as black widows in the lifting room. This isn't an isolated incident--it's something that has been consistently brought up among members. What's most frustrating is the lack of acknowledgment or visible action taken to address it. For a facility of this quality, basic sanitation and safety should be a top priority. Unfortunately, due to these concerns not being resolved, I ultimately had to cancel my membership. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, because this gym has a lot of potential and I would genuinely love to return if improvements are made

I am happy because I have accomplished a 1:1 training session and put in one hundred percent effort!

The gym is a solid option for beginners, offering a good starting point for those new to fitness. However, it's not ideal for long-term growth or more advanced training. Specific exercises in the programming are often over emphasized and don't always align with the day's muscle focus. When offering constructive feedback, it sometimes feels like it falls on deaf ears. The trainers are a mixed bag: some are excellent and genuinely helpful , while others come across as having inflated egos. Additionally, favoritism from the owners is apparent. Their social media presence consistently highlights, the same few individuals, giving the impression that only select members matter. One stand out feature was their childcare service. When we joined, it was well equipped with video games, and two working TVs, catering to both older and younger kids. Unfortunately, after one TV was broken it was never replaced, and the video games were also removed. Now the childcare set up is more suited to very young children, leaving older kids with little to do. The gym has some great members, but there's noticeable turnover. Many don't stick around long, possibly due to pricing, the environment, or the quality of training. Traveling nurses occasionally pass through, but it's not a place you'd want to commit to for more than a year. In summary, it's a great entry-level gym, but it falls short in areas that matter for long-term members or serious fitness enthusiast. read more

Core Fitness Modesto moved to the Roseburg Square in Modesto, CA this past summer--just when I needed a new fitness challenge. It has given me that and much more!

It is truly a state of the art, well-researched approach to fitness--always with an emphasis on core strengthening. I can say that I now have the physique I've always wanted!!

Recently took back-to-back classes at this gym and it was a treat. My first session was a Pound class, which I'd never heard of before. It was a great lower body workout, taught with skill and enthusiasm, and was really fun. Followed that with a TRX class for total body conditioning; another well taught class and great workout. Owners Ross and Beth were very welcoming and friendly, as were others in the classes. The gym is very light and clean (that impressed me after recently working out at a gym that is neither). There's a large children's room as well as studios for Barre and Pilates Reformer classes. Hope to try those soon. This is a gym worth coming to on a regular basis. read more
