I discovered Core Solutions Pilates & Wellness on classpass for a Mixed Gender Small Group Reformer class. $28 late cancellation fee if you don't can't 12 hours ahead of the class. So don't miss class! I arrived 15 minutes early cause there is typically a waiver for first time visits to studios, but I was surprised there wasn't any paperwork for me to sign. The instructor, Peggy, came a few minutes before class time to let us in. There were 5 reformer beds. You will get a very intimate hands-on experience here. Peggy will come around and adjust you. She has advanced knowledge in sports medicine and it really shows during her lesson. She will adjust you to be in perfect alignment. I think this is great for someone with injuries who need this level of attention. Personally I don't like this much attention on me, and I don't really like getting touched. Also the studio doesn't have the ambiance I enjoy in other studios. No water dispenser. No selling of grip socks. She had a normal fan spinning, not like a ceiling fan that other studios thoughtfully installed. Also no music during class, so time passed by really slow for me. Out of curiosity I looked up the pricing for their packages and it starts at $225 for 5 reformer classes. This is much pricier than other studios I go to. Probably because of the smaller class sizes. Peggy's classes are great for health and alignment but it doesn't match with the type of work out I enjoy. read more

Peggy has decades of experience and is very committed to her craft. Her class sizes are small and capped at 5, so you get a lot of individual attention and form corrections. She explains exactly which muscle groups each movement targets and how to optimize engagement for each. There's no frills or fluff here, and her workouts are HARD and involve lots of isometric work in addition to the standard isotonic exercises. She really focuses on building a strong core, improving mobility, and helping you become aware of your body's natural deviations, so you can fix posture and develop balance. She's easy to get a hold of to schedule classes and has always responded to me in a timely manner with a great attitude. It's not worth deducting a star over, but the only negative thing I can possible say is that I wish she had more variation class to class. After taking six classes, it seemed a little too repetitive and became predictable, so I do attend other studios as well for variation to spice things up and do other movements (Pilates has 500+). That being said, no other studio has challenged me the way Peggy has. In two weeks, I had seen huge progress especially in my abdominals. Thanks to all the lower abdominal work, my four pack has become a faint six back and my obliques have finally come out to play - thanks Peggy! I've never had any back pain or spinal issues, but suddenly I feel better than ever when doing simple things like unloading laundry or pulling weeds from my garden. My spine feels like a steel rod while the rest of my body feels limber and loose. Her decades of experience and sport medicine training translates into real results for her clients. Highly recommend her if you want to put in the work and be better for it. read more

I came to Core Solutions Pilates with a small ankle injury and the instructor, Peggy, gave me workouts to improve the joints on my ankles. I've had two sessions so far and my ankle feels so much better! I have full range of motion! The classes are very small so it feels like a 1:1 private class. It's intense!! Highly recommend to anyone with an injury or looking to improve their core strength. read more

This is my second review for Core Pilates. I thought it was important to let others know, from a perspective of a senior(77 years) and of someone who just recently had 2 knee replacements( done simultaneously.) It is not an understatement to say that Miss Tung and her individualized classes accelerated my recovery. The clinic offered physical therapy, however, there was no comparison to the Pilates classes which emphasized muscle work on the tiny and finite parts of our bodies that really are not addressed by other methods. Within nine weeks, I was able to travel to Europe, which includes walking through all the airports, many times with time constraints and one of the largest stadiums for the World Olympics. I highly recommend Core Pilates with special kudos to Miss Tung who addresses specific body issues of each client. read more

The bone-on-bone contact and increasing misalignment of the lower portion of my right leg led to a significant increase in pain and reduction in my ability to walk for any distance. For those reasons, in Spring 2024, I elected to have total knee replacement surgery in October 2024. For the next five months, Peggy helped me to implement a set of pre-surgical core exercises to strengthen my core, breakdown remaining old scar tissue and increase muscle strength. There is no question that this carefully designed and focused set of exercises and scar tissue breakdown helped me recover faster and with less pain from the surgery. Specifically, I was able to return to start post-surgical recovery exercises with Peggy about two weeks after surgery and begin walking on smooth surfaces without support. That early period after surgery is a period when guided recovery is extremely important due to the fact that scar tissue is continuously forming and, to regain mobility, must be continuously broken down. In summary, the pre-surgical exercises helped me have a relatively pain-free and fast recovery and allowed me to only use Tylenol (and only during the first three weeks following surgery) for pain control. read more

I have been with Peggy doing Pilates for over 10 years. When I started with her, I had issues with crossing my legs to sit up since my hip joint suffers with arthritis which now is no issue. A Full body workout and strengthening my core has overall helped me not be stiff from autoimmune issues. More recently, I tore my calf muscle and Peggy helped me rehab it and strength en the calf which suffered atrophy from the accident. I am back fully healed now and am beyond grateful to Peggy for her love of helping others, her expertise, and her knowledge in what she does very, very well. read more

I'm 70 years old. I've been doing Pilates with Peggy for 5 years. I'm definitely stronger and more flexible and have better balance than I would otherwise. Peggy is also trained in pressure point therapy. About a year ago, I started having pretty severe pain in my left foot. My podiatrist said it was from arthritis and an inflamed tendon at my instep. I got some treatment from him that reduced the frequency and intensity by about 50%, but it remained at that level for several months. I finally asked Peggy if she could help. She found that most of the tendons around my ankle were inflamed, in addition to the one my podiatrist identified. After about 10 pressure point sessions, the pain was all but gone. It has stayed mostly gone for a couple of months now, at a level I consider completely tolerable. We do an occasional tune-up to keep it under control. read more

My mother and I have been going to see Peggy for pilates for 15+ years and 6+ years respectively. Even though the sign says pilates, Peggy offers a range of services to provide holistic exercise, health, and healing services. I've attended both her 50 minute group classes and 50 minute private classes. Group classes offer a more generalized set of exercises that can be modified for new students easily. Private classes offer more specialized instruction, where Peggy can work through motions that are causing discomfort, use more specialized equipment like weights, hoops, and bands, and provide individualized advice for health and wellness. In both settings, Peggy will notice and adjust posture, motions, and body placement so students can get more out of the exercise. I have gone to Peggy for stretching advice after twisting an ankle, and I was part of her spin classes which were also very fun. Peggy is truly a Pilates expert. Even though she is matter-of-fact and makes her students work hard, she can always modify an exercise and is very understanding. I would recommend either private or group lessons to anyone looking to try Pilates, get toned, or work through mobility/flexibility/stiffness issues. read more

I have been going to Peggy for 3 years and as my physical strength continues to increase, I am able to challenge myself to do harder and longer hikes. I no longer doubt my ability to hike or travel and was able to go on a once in a lifetime hiking trip in Patagonia last year where we were hiking 15-18 miles every other day. Even after having a recent setback due to injury, Peggy was able to build my strength back in no time and I was able to get back to my passion of hiking in the mountains. Best part of going to Peggy is that she is able to adjust the workout to whatever your body needs - healing and strength training. As I am able to do what I love, I feel happier and joyful. That you Peggy for your loving kindness. read more

Peggy's private classes during the past 2 years have greatly eased the plantar fasciitis in my feet and improved my posture by strengthening my core. I'm much more aware of how my body works and plan to continue Pilates with her into the future! She listens to my concerns and is patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Core Solutions Pilates. read more

I have been doing Pilates with Peggy, which has helped me gain strength and flexibility. When my back pain became more acute, (recently I am driving more than I used to do) I scheduled a private session with her. Peggy provided me with a combination of massage and stretching exercises, and I immediately noticed a significant reduction in my back pain. However, what truly impressed me was the noticeable decrease in inflammation the following day. Peggy's skill and expertise were evident in her approach, and I felt immensely better after just one session. She is a competent professional who is also very attentive and accommodating. I highly recommend Peggy for her proficiency, effectiveness, and her caring nature in addressing musculoskeletal issues. read more

Peggy Tung is the consumate professional in this specific genre of exercise. She has her eye on each of her students and modifies for each student to address any individual issues. I can honestly say I wouldn't be in this good of physical shape and enjoy increased mobility, had I not been diligent in attending consistently over several years. I highly recommend Core Pilates for a person of any age /gender/ and physical concerns. read more

I've been doing Pilates with Peggy for 2 years but recently started Physical Therapy with her for a knee injury. Her knowledge of the body is truly amazing. I was in so much pain I could barely move. She's helped me tremendously! I highly recommend her for PT! read more

My Orthopedic Specialist told me I didn't need surgery on my hips but instead he would prescribe physical therapy that incorporated Pilates. I was surprised that the pain that was waking me up at night and causing me to take an elevator over stairs was going to be relieved with Pilates. He told me what was needed was to slowly build up my core strength and that he found Pilates to be especially beneficial for the type of arthritis I had. While I had done yoga before, it was gentle stretch and relaxation yoga. After I had completed my initial therapy sessions and was feeling some relief I began my search for a Pilates instructor that could pick up where therapy left off. After speaking with Peggy and hearing her extensive background focused on wellness I decided to sign up! Four months later after weekly half hour sessions my improvement has been so remarkable my Orthopedist has told me I don't need him anymore. He was so impressed that I had followed his therapy advise and had this much progress in what he considered a relatively short time. At 62 and having survived two bouts of breast cancer treatments and a double mastectomy I learned to embrace physical therapy for effective recovery and ongoing wellness. Peggy is taking me to the next level in making sure I can keep up with my little grandson! Thanks Peggy! read more

I was in physical therapy to relieve the pain from spondylolisthesis, a vertebrae slippage, and improvement had stalled so I decided to try pilates. After only 5 sessions with Peggy I am pain free for the first time since the injury! Peggy's classes are structured for a comprehensive workout, and are small so all attendees receive individual attention. Peggy's technical understanding of body mechanics and pilates is impressive, she quickly offers alternatives if I cannot perform a particular exercise. The focus is on correctly performing the exercises for maximum benefit. I feel very comfortable progressing at my own pace, the atmosphere at Core Solutions is welcoming and supportive. After my intial class, Peggy texted to ask how I was feeling and it was then I realized I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PAIN! I had tried two other studios and was unsatisfied with the format, pace, and structure of the classes, so I am very confident in recommending Peggy and Core Solutions, especially for anyone experiencing back pain from an injury. Her classes work the entire body while focusing on your core with the goal of total body physical conditioning. read more

Peggy (owner) is an amazing Pilates trainer. My sisters found her when I told them I needed to do something to preserve my flexibility and strength as I age. I started about 3 months ago, doing 2 private 30 minute sessions a week. Peggy uses her sports medicine and health management knowledge to tailor increasingly challenging sessions so you see progress fast! I really love doing Pilates with her. read more

I started doing Pilates with Peggy two years ago. I was 65 at the time. Peggy knows how to start at whatever your fitness level is and can adapt her exercises to meet your individual needs. I recommend her for anyone, but in particular for older people. One of the greatest benefits for me is that my ankles are much stronger than they were. They've always been a problem area for me, and of course got worse as I got older. My right ankle in particular was overpronated. It's now straighter than it's ever been. I'm a hiker, and having stronger ankles makes me more stable and less likely to twist an ankle or fall on an uneven trail. read more

I have had chronic neck pain for quite some time. A friend recommended that I see Peggy for trigger point therapy. I received weekly treatments for about 10 weeks but started seeing immediate benefits in both range of motion in my neck and a decrease in associated pain. Peggy is very knowledgeable and in tune with how the body works. My neck has been pain free since my sessions and I have benefited tremendously from Peggy's knowledge in the human body. I am very active and can be hard on my body. I know Peggy is someone I can rely on to get my aging body moving the best it can. read more

Peggy runs this small studio with 4 reformer machines. She's got some loyal customers and with smaller group sizes is able to provide more guidance to the exercises. She actually calls you by name. This isn't you dance music, high-energy pilates studio. Here you can hear yourself breathe and you can concentrate on your moves. It's kind of refreshing. Some people say the classes are repetitive. I can't comment as I've only been to one class, but it was challenging. I've taken 10+ pilates classes elsewhere and I found the inconsistency of the trainers a negative. May be having only one trainer is too limited. Only you can decide. I had no problems redeeming my Groupon as Peggy was able to get me into a class within a few days and also reschedule me without a problem. There are a few areas for improvement - full length mirror from the door into the studio so the user of machine #1 can benefit from seeing posture etc. And a sweep and a dust around the machines. read more

I have been with Peggy for over 7 years and she continues to run her studio in the most excellent and professional manner. Our class exercises on the reformer change from class to class. Each time as challenging as the next time working different parts of the body. More importantly, my flexibility and core strengthening has made a tremendous difference in my life since I suffer with severe joint issues. The class also helps me to relax . Peggy is an amazing instructor, very knowledgeable about the anatomy and muscle groups being toned and strengthened. She also is sensitive to offering modifications should one have an injury or condition that inhibits a certain pose/ move. Highly recommend! read more

Peggy might be an amazing instructor but unfortunately I haven't taken any classes with her to validate. I purchased a Groupon and then reached out to inquire about classes, but as I work full-time and have young kids to care for afterwards on weekdays, I am only free Friday after work, all day Saturday and Sunday - of which there are NO options for classes. I wish that had been listed on the website because now Groupon won't allow me a refund and I'm stuck with this unusable purchase. So unless you have a flexible schedule or don't work at all, this place is not the best choice for you. *Update* I was finally able to get Groupon credit back for this, but definitely not a cash refund. Having credit is nice, but not that useful if you don't use Groupon often. Updated a star as the owner did reach out and try to make amends after I posted this review, but ultimately I found a different studio with a more regular schedule. read more

Why live with pain? Finally Peggy helped me. I got a very sever muscle tear last year due to a skiing injury with my friend. For many months I was looking for some help. Finally I met Peggy, after only two sessions all the pain went away. Sometimes I wondered if it's even possible to relieve this pain in my leg or do I need to accept an aching leg for the rest of my life. Fortunately Peggy proved me wrong. Now I thank Peggy because I am feeling much much better!!! read more

A wonderful studio. I got a groupon here and I absolutely LOVED it. It's quite small, only 6 reformers I believe, but I think that is one of the best parts. The instructor Peggy is able to focus on each individual person in the class. She's funny and keeps that burn going the whole class!! You feel like jelly by the end of it, but in a good way :) I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to try pilates! read more

I'm new to Pilates and tried Core Solutions in Irvine with Peggy, today was 2nd time going and I LOVE this class !! Peggy is an Awesome Instructor she really takes time to explain what you are doing , what part of the body part you are working out and she helps you throughout the workout. I really wanted to find a workout other then just cardio that will help me get to my goals and I believe I found it .. I'm hooked after 2 classes.. I'm sore and I feel great !!! Peggy followed up after my classes to see how I was feeling and encouraged me and I really appreciate that extra gesture... Thank you Peggy- I'm Super excited :) read more

I'm so impressed with this studio and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great Pilates studio. I started going to Peggy's place late January to get back in shape and feel better. After the first session, I knew she was a great instructor. Not only do I enjoy her classes but she is keen on technique which makes every workout more intense and effective. In less than a month I'm more flexible and have more endurance. The studio is clean, welcoming with lots of light and space, and the classes and people are friendly. read more

On April 28, I bought a Groupon for 5 Pilates-Reformer classes at Core Solutions Pilates & Wellness Studio for $35. I was a little worried when I bought it because I saw the amount of people who had purchased the Groupon - it was around either 600 or 800 people. And the Core Solutions web site made it look like it was a one-woman show (Peggy Tung). I figured it would be safe to try to book the classes way in advance. So the same night I bought the Groupon I emailed Core Solutions and requested 5 Thursday evenings from August 2-30. That's 3 months in advance. On April 29, I got a phone message from Core Solutions. She said Groupon customers could not pre-schedule their classes. Instead they have to call at the end of each month to see what's available the following month. Now let's do the math shall we? Given that my job schedule would only allow me 9 slots in the evening and 4 on weekends, and that at least 600 other Groupon customers would be trying to book appointments, plus her regular customers, what is the likelihood that calling at the end of the month for what's left over would ever get me into a class? How do you spell SCAM? This is obviously a great way for her to earn money from people who are not likely to ever be able to get into a class (unless her clients are all retired or unemployed with nothing better to do than to wait for a spot to open up). I immediately contacted Groupon. They issued a refund because the scheduling issue was not disclosed when I bought it. Even though Groupon was willing to try to negotiate a schedule for me, I couldn't trust any company that would do this and they would likely be rude to me if I came in based on the dispute. So there was no way I was going to settle for anything other than a refund. Fortunately Groupon came thru. On May 6 the owner called again and said she could not verify if I am a Groupon customer because she didn't have my voucher #. Huh??? The issue had nothing to do with verifying my Groupon status but how she treats her Groupon customers. She made no offer to accommodate my schedule and anyway Groupon was processing my refund by then. Grouponers: beware of any small company selling a service they don't have capacity for. Ethics dictate they should either cap the number of Groupons sold to match capacity, or disclose restrictions. read more

ZERO STARS!! FALSE ADVERTISING --SCAM! I had the worst experience with this merchant, Core Solutions Pilates & Wellness Studio. I had tried to contact this studio via phone a few times to set up an appointment to redeem this Groupon for 20 pilates classes. I received no call back after leaving a message about my intended reservation. The website indicated available group classes were running 12pm & 1pm on Sunday, January 6th. I received no call back so I took it upon myself to visit the studio and talk to the receptionist to schedule my classes. I arrived to the facility only to encounter a very rude trainer & owner, Peggy Tung. She had double-booked a private session over the group class sessions time slot she had advertised on the website. She indicated that she prioritizes private lessons over the group classes, yet none of this was disclosed on her website! If she had any time for group classes, you will have to call to schedule an appointment around her schedule (that's if she feels like teaching). Peggy was extremely rude and defensive towards me when I had asked too many questions. She responded, "I teach class all day so you will have to leave a message. I can't check my voicemail between clients." I came during a time she posted for group classes, therefore gives me the right to drop-in for an inquiry. Instead, I was rudely escorted out because I was intruding on her private session she double-booked. I also found it odd that she had the lights turned off while training a client. There was not enough sunlight to keep this for this 400 sq foot studio well lit for training. "Lights Out" should only be permitted in a yoga environment, not while training a client! Her cheap attempt to cut her expenses yet risk our public safety. Peggy later sent a text to my cell phone number (again, no call-back but a text!!) asking me for my Groupon voucher # so she can verify my classes. I was appalled she had the nerve to be rude towards me then ask me for my business. I have never had a rude experience like this before in any fitness studio. Peggy Tung does not practice the same customary standards found in any pilates studio. NO STUDIO DOUBLE BOOKS PRIVATE SESSIONS OVER GROUP CLASSES ADVERTISED ON THE WEBSITE!!! She is quick to try to obtain one's groupon voucher # but not accommodate Groupon users, find a solution, or disclose the REAL group classes she has available. (Do not give out your groupon voucher # on her voicemail. E-mail Groupon for a refund.) Peggy Tung falsely advertised group classes, gives Groupon users second-class treatment, her business practice is not customary or standard of a pilates studio, she lacks professionalism and customer service skills. The impression I received is that this merchant is cutting corners and is under financial distress. (Buyer Beware!) The merchant has no answering service or live receptionist to talk to, that is understandable. However, she took stern defensive tone with me when I had innocently inquired about her studio's lack of response. Instead of taking a softer approach, she was quick to assert and condescend as though I was the retard! I am greatly disappointed to blindly purchase this Groupon without prior investigating the Yelp reviews on this merchant. I have reported this merchant to Groupon management to investigate this consumer issue. Core Solutions Pilates & Wellness is overpriced and poorly managed by Peggy Tung. At a cost of $48/class, YOU HAVE TO RIGHT TO EXPECT GREAT SERVICE AND A REAL PILATES CERTIFIED TRAINER. The studio is tiny like a walk-in closet with poor lighting. I would not trust buying any class package from her, she may be on her way to bankruptcy. Go to Body Design in Newport or Pilates Plus in Costa Mesa. Don't bother with this Groupon, it's not worth the trouble. read more

I still take Peggy's reformer classes. Every single time I get a killer work-out! The name of this place says it all. It is a serious core work-out. I feel mentally sharper, and much stronger physically! I used to have problems with my lower back,but each time I come in here my back feels way better because again my core is getting stronger. I even got a compliment a few days ago in one of these classes the other day. I love that Peggy changes up the work-outs every single time. Never boring. Such a positive challenge. The students in her class are all very nice and this is another reason I keep on coming back too. Very inviting from both the instructor and other sudents. You must try it out for yourself! read more

Peggy is a wonderful, friendly instructor and the studio is very clean. It's a little on the smaller side which I personally appreciated. The workout really, really worked my abs and core like no other workout, and I would recommend Core Solutions/Peggy to anyone! read more

Groupon user. First of all, she forces groupon users to reservation system. But she never answers. Doesn't call back. And her voice mail is full. think she got overwhelmed by the purchases, and prefered to take better paying private clients, leaving no room for the groupon people. I was really looking forward to learning how to use the reformer. read more

If you value your money as well as people with good ethics, go elsewhere. Peggy will try to find a way to cheat you and take your money or deny they she made deals with you. I have friends who didn't know better that bought groupons that she never acknowledge. I wish they would have talked to me first. If I could give negative stars I would. read more

I have been going to Peggy for 9 weeks now..I go two days a week for a private 30 minute class and I would say by week 3 I started to notice body parts becoming more toned! 30 minutes dosen't sound long but there is no resting and I find it to be more effective. I feel like I get a better workout in that 30 minutes than going to the gym for over a hour. I have never been super athletic and was always intimidated by other classes, gyms etc but Peggy makes you feel so welcomed, comfortable and works with your level. I would say by week 8 I really started to notice a transformation in my body and my strength has improved 100% I can't wait to see many more improvements in my body and have no plans of stopping! read more

I have found my Pilates home! Peggy is wonderful to work with, she is a taskmaster, which is what you want, but she does it with a smile and a great sense of humor. I found Core Solutions through Groupon and have decided to commit long term to this studio. The class sizes are small so you get the attention you need. I recently broke my toe and Peggy provided alternatives so I wouldn't have to miss class. read more

I started a few years ago for pain in my 73 year old body. Peggy has worked with me in private sessions and I am SO much more well aligned and fit. I have even started riding horses again. Peggy now helps realign and strengthen me between riding sessions. read more

Love, love, love this class! I especially love the individual attention to proper form. Peggy is very "hands-on" with all of her students. She greets everyone by name and ensures that we each get an incredible workout. I have been going to Core Solutions for nearly 2 years and during that time, had a serious injury. When I returned to classes, Peggy provided modifications to help me get stronger. If you're looking for a stronger core, movement that will lengthen your muscles, and a challenging workout choose Core Solutions Pilates. You won't be dissapointed. read more

It has now been over three months of Pilates classes at Core Solutions. Pilates is such a great way to strengthen your core and just tone your body overall. I am a huge fan of Pilates and I am appreciative of the close proximity of this studio to my home and work as well as the level of exercise I get here. I never find myself thinking, "oh this is easy." It's always challenging and I can definitely tell I have gotten stronger and that's so motivating and thrilling. I hope that when people check out Core Solutions they look past the angry Groupon user reviews and read the reviews of the people who have actually taken classes here; thus they have an actual basis for their reviews. read more

Peggy is amazing! Love taking her Pilates class, I've been going twice a week for around three months now and always get a great workout. I've gotten more toned and lost weight since taking her class. I've seen a noticeable change in my body since going to her class regularly. She is very knowledgeable about the body and keeps class sizes small so I always feel like I am getting attention to make sure I am doing the moves properly. She also pays attention to your body alignment and adjusts you when necessary. Would definitely recommend and am so happy I found her! read more

Here is an update to my visit to Core Solutions with Peggy. Due to Covid, working from home had a bad impact on my posture and my back ache came back stronger. Adding to that was my pain in the right hand all the way extending to my shoulder and neck. Side effects of working on a computer for a long time :( I restarted going for her private sessions and she was able to quickly assess my symptoms and provide great relief for my pain. She had a customised plan for me and has great technical knowledge about your body needs and combines accupressure therapy which has greatly eased my pain. She follows covid protocols and wear mask and sanitize the studio well which was an important reason for me to go back. Thank you Peggy for all that you do! read more

Being new to Pilates I am finding it very challenging, however, Peggy is not only very knowledgeable, but patience and most importantly encouraging. Due to arthritis on both my knee and shoulder, my orthopedist recommended physical exercises to regain and maintain my range of motion. When my gym closed, I found Peggy and was very encouraged by her methods, both in class and through private sessions. The work done on my shoulder has helped my regain greater movement in my shoulder joint. Also, through my work on the reformer, the improved strength in my legs has enabled me to have better balance and helped my knee considerably. I will continue to work on my core to help with balance and to maintain flexibility as I age. read more

So since my last review, I have started Spinning in conjunction with Pilates. It has been awesome. I am down about 10 lbs since I have started the spinning and my core is stronger than ever. Additionally, the issues that I have had with my neck and back have improved significantly. Peggy is a great instructor. I have been going to this studio for about 2 years now and I strongly recommend it. I do both the group Pilates classes and Spin once a week. If I could do it twice a week, I would. Peggy is very thorough and always switches things up so you are never doing the same exercises or routines which is great for your body. Her spin classes focus on HIIT and proper form. This helps to significantly strengthen your core and your legs. My inner thighs don't touch anymore, which I just noticed in our last class and my posture is much better than it was. I sit at a desk all day, so this was very important to me. I strongly suggest checking out her studio. You can try one spin class with Pilates to make sure you like it. Doing the two together has been life changing. read more
