Been on our cute girl wellness journey so my friend and I have been trying different classes to see which one we love so we can commit to one. We tried this one and we were not disappointed amazing class, really feel like we were working out, this is not a class for someone who thinks Pilates is easy. We definitely will be coming back we were recommended by a waitress at Ritual coffee and she was right. Plus there was a cute little well behaved dog who helped supervised our class that day. Def recommend!!!!

Nice clean studio. The instructor was friendly and informative. Went for a pilates class and it was a good work out

I love all the instructors here! Class is always super fun and super challenging. I love how hard they make you work. I leave class always feeling super strong and happy.

Great workout with super supportive teachers and great community!

I started going to Core Mvmt because it is close to my work and needed help with some back pain. I found the instructors to be incredibly knowledgeable and supportive of my injury. Nearly 2 years on and my injuries are so well supported by the workouts and instructors here, so much so that I recommend the studio to my patients. What also keeps me coming back to Core Mvmt is the community. You can tell that this is a locally owned business and that Lisa works hard to cultivate a supportive space that celebrates folks of all abilities and backgrounds. Overall, I can't recommend the studio highly enough, both as a physician and as person who has historically been turned off by the fitness scene. Thank you Lisa, so grateful for this beautiful, caring, empowering space you've created!

Little knick knacks sure to make you giggle. Love everything about Core MVMT!

I started coming here about 2 months ago, and have really enjoyed it. I have been a runner for the…read morepast few years for my primary exercise, but wanted to do more. I tried out the Newbie unlimited pass, and was going about 3-4 times a week. What I love about this studio is that they seem to have instructors that are more invested with each of its clients. For instance, the instructors call out participants by name saying how great they are doing in a move. I also like how some instructors incorporate arm weights into the class, which look tiny, but are quite strenuous. My favorite instructors are Corri, Ina, Ariel, and Mara. After being here for a few months, I'd say 90% of the instructors are good, and you will get a good workout in. Some things I don't like about the studio are the booking options for the classes. By first glance, it looks impossible to book a class, as the options are almost always "waitlist only." I am pulled off the waitlist about 80% of the time, but not always. I always feel like in general, it's annoying to be put on a waitlist, instead of being confirmed right away. In addition, if I could change the membership options, what I would change is the options for classes per month. It skips from 8 classes/month to 12 classes/month, which is a big jump. Wish there was an option in between to choose from. Another bummer is the mirrors in the class. 80% of the reformer machines have mirrors on all sides, but there are a few spots that don't have many options, so it's hard to see yourself in the mirror to correct yourself. The parking is really easy in this area, which is amazing. Even in broad daylight, the residential parking a block down and over are free for 2-4 hours! Love that! In general, I really love this studio and would recommend if you want to try Reformer pilates.

Got to try this studio out with their sweet trial offer and I absolutely loved my workouts! I'd…read morenever done XCore before but wanted to try it out, definitely worth the visits! I did 2 morning classes which worked out perfectly for my schedule and the parking outside (street cleaning so be aware of the days, also no meter paying until 9AM). The studio is very well setup, spacious and clean with good ventilation/ac. Reformers are staggered with lots of mirror around and motivational words up top (love that!). I appreciate the little baskets each reformer has for our personal items, such as smart way to keep out things in one place, next to us! Very high 4 stars rating, only things that brings it down is its soo pricey for a membership or per session... but that's a Pilates reformer class anywhere you go. Nevertheless, definitely worth the try and I just may be back every once in a while!

Wow Pretty excited…read more Started here in Mid December and wanted to get some solid experience before my review Equipment 5/5 Bathroom 5/5 (clean, huge and you can change if needed) Location 5/5 Cleaning 4/5 while group folks clean at end of class and privates the instructors do but it seems like a lot of hair/etc collects under machines Parking is plentiful except on street cleaning day and better between 8-1pm I started my journey as a green horn in Pilates as in never tried 1 movement before walking through these doors. Pilates was suggested from my rheumatologist and my physical therapist. Started with some entry level group classes and found i loved them but also knew I need more 1 on 1 to ensure I was doing everything correctly for my EDS issues. Met Ramlah and now work with her 2-3 days per week when I am in the city. Only disappointing thing about this particular facility is they don't have a lot of formation classes, which are the ones you take in the beginning. Fortunately, I'm in a place where I am able to pay for privates, but I don't know if this is the place to come and learn in a group environment as they have so few classes. I found a couple of studios in my area that do offer them and will continue with privates but take some groups elsewhere that offer entry level classes the focus on form. ]

I have been practicing Pilates for 15 years in major cities across the country, and bright star,…read moreRemains, my favorite studio of all. The bright, airy space is filled with the best equipment from reformers and Cadillacs to the chair and spring boards. They have every accessory on the planet. The quality of instruction, especially from Julie Mahony, is extra extraordinary. I can safely say that they are the best of the best.

This is the way a pilates reformer class should be - small classes, attention to each student's…read moreform, and clear explanations during the workout. My only wish was that I had found this studio earlier when I lived just a block or two away, I would have been here all the time. I took Jen's class -- she's the owner -- and it's nice to find someone who is so nice, passionate and involved in her business. The space is small but has 5-6 reformers, some other equipment and one bathroom. Note that there's no separate changing area other than the one bathroom so if you're going to cut it close to the class, it may be best to change at home. The reformer class was excellent and was focus and controlled and I got a good workout in. Jen took the time to explain everything and made sure we were doing the moves correctly. Even though I didn't really sweat in the class, I did feel a little sore in my abs the next day and still got a god workout in. Would highly recommend this place if you like pilates classes like Body Chemistry in the Mission or Mercury Fitness in the Marina. These are the kinds of pilates studios I love to find and frequent. I don't really love the BodyRok or Core40 classes as much since they go too fast, seem very repetitive in the movements/exercises, and don't focus on form. These kind of classes are more of the opposite. 5 stars. Looking forward to taking another class here next time I'm back in San Francisco.

Great place to practice. Class consisted of 5 people max for reformers. Reem has the good…read moretechnique of pilates so she could adjust form as needed. 45 lunch class went by fast.

For the past 18 months, my husband and I have scheduled private sessions with Raisa and Rachel…read moreevery week. My spouse had MS and wanted to focus on balance concerns, whereas I had just turned 50 and had the upperbody strength of a newborn kitten. It's a really nonjudgmental environment with clients of different shapes and ages. I was hesitant at first to do pilates because I hadn't worked out in a decade, so performing a plank was impossible. Raisa and Rachel seemed to intuitively recognize our skills and motivated us with realistic movements. This was our first experience scheduling private sessions of any kind, but it has proven to be ideal for us because Raisa and Rachel personalize each session to whatever discomfort or pain we are experiencing that week. We are also the only ones in the studio during our session, making it genuinely private. If you have a stiff shoulder in the middle of a session, they have the depth and breadth of understanding to identify the muscle in question and immediately shift you to an optimum exercise. Hubs and I were both in physical therapy for different reasons, and Raisa and Rachel had no trouble adapting and changing movements as needed. I had no idea how much core strength I had gained until I started crossfit a year after starting PIlates and was able to execute (and excel) at every core exercise with my CF trainer.
