How am I just now reviewing this business! I was lucky enough to meet Naya ages ago and find her to…read morebe one of the most caring and nurturing people in the fitness industry. She is genuine, thoughtful, and actually cares about the integrity of your body and your overall well-being. I have known her to go out of her way to help people with back injuries and given them life changing advice, but you have to be willing to do the stretches. I do them and they feel great! As a fitness instructor I find her to be attentive and well spoken. Her instructions are clear and descriptive which helps me keep track of thinks like my lower back and other movements that might actually cause injury. So many instructors forget to make adjustments and keep you aware of posture etc. Her ques and explanation of how and why things work keep me interested during the workouts. As a formerly injured individual, her passion is likely helping people prevent or recover from injury, however others looking for body sculpting and weight loss can benefit from her routines. I really can't say enough great things about Naya and her company. If you can't get to her studio or gym classes the remote, ONLINE classes are really top notch especially when I'm out of town. So check her out, in person or virtually, you won't be disappointed.

I have an amazing…read morePilates trainer, usually I get to visit twice a week, 4 to 5 Group classes that work perfectly with my schedule. It's been with me through many sizes, many strengths, and a sliding scale of ability - the birth of a child. This studio has been able to go up and down with me. The pain in my body has dissipated - one session at a time. When this studio first opened, it gave me my life back, at my pace, my ability, my schedule. Cue the Core continues to give me and feed me what is welcomed and what is needed. I fear to share my personal trainers as I really don't wanna share her. But I am willing if you ask me directly. Needless to say, the women at Cue The Core are inclusive, loving and kind. There is someone for everyone. The studio is so amazing. We even have some men. Including my amazing husband. Who joined the studio a year after he saw the gift I was receiving. Thank you, Cue The Core, I love all of you. Thank you for being inclusive.

I have now been practicing pilates for oof 20 years with varying levels of investment and…read moremotivation. I think it's saying a lot that these teachers have kept me engaged and consistently attending for around 5 years. Firstly, I love the community of loyal followers they have amassed and I have best time seeing new faces in the studio as well. It's not like other studios where new people are made to feel like they are walking into a private sorority event. To this point, Cue the Core offers classes that vary in levels of difficult and experience. There are classes For beginners, advanced and everything in between. Importantly, I find I can jump into nearly any class as Karen and Wendy call out modifications for those who need/ want them ( mods that allow people to up the level of most moves). I find this flexibility opens up the availability of classes I can join. It's a welcoming place for people who are curious and want to try it out as well. Admittedly, I'm picky now since I've tried many different styles, different studios, and different teachers. I know what I like. Also My body has changed as I've aged, so my goals around exercise have changed. Karen , Wendy and the teachers they have brought on (shot out to Deborah, Gen and Susan) offer more than 50 minutes of awkwardly messing around on equipment. They each have deep knowledge and extensive training. A little of my journey with Karen and Wendy... When my goal was to work out without losing my pelvic floor, I felt safe with Wendy and Karen...they had my back. When I craved a more toned version of mom bod for summertime, despite back pain from spending 95% of my life picking crap up my kids left on the floor... guess who got me confident in a swimsuit? (Karen and Wendy in case you aren't following). Now, I am maybe the strongest I've been in years and feel good about how I look. My fitness focus is on continuing to grow lean muscle without risking injury. It's nearly full circle - I find myself prioritizing form and breath while maintaining strength and flexibility. Wendy is a master teacher with classical background knowledge and training. I trust her to push me without injuring me. Karen brings athleticism to my practice and even weights (which I would normally balk at). She is also a trained wellness coach who is clearly dedicated to bringing her deep knowledge base in that world to the studio. The studio itself has come a long way and reflects the breadth and depth of Karen and Wendy's interests. I mean, come on... they've got a Cadillac (if you know you know) , can pull out a ladder barrel for privates and have outfitted each reformer with towers!! Don't see that everyday ... and for those who are familiar, these added apparatuses add such diversity of content and muscle/ tendon target to a class. I had never even heard of Fit Springs (think Pilates using springs suspended from ceiling- ish) before they installed a whole room of them. Did I mention their main reformer room set up includes CHAIRS for each reformer?!?? My favorite class is currently a classical class where we move between the reformer, mat and chair. It's advanced and challenging and feels soo good to see not only my own progress but the progress of the women who get the pilates shakes through these classes with me... I mean, bring on Jackknife... Big Twist Teaser?!?? Pshhh been nailing that one for months. Any thing Inversions? Child's play. Ok... I'm mostly joking about feeling like I've mastered these moves... each milestone we reach, master teacher Wendy reminds us there are always ways of advancing most moves and she encourages us from a place of safety and confidence to step out of complacency -as ugly as it looks the first couple times through (we laugh A LOT). It's kind of magical... we shall see if I can pull off the Boomerang with even a modicum of grace by the end of fall. lol. Outside of classes, they've got a spectrum of offerings from speciality, pop up and themed class events ( Bubbles and Bounce- pilates with jump board and sparkling wine?... amazing combo!), to non- class but mind and community building offerings (Book club anyone?? So good!) and inspirational goodies ( the past few weeks have been fun with playful and healthful takes on a summertime favorite ... lemonade). I don't even like lemonade but on my way out of class yesterday, you can bet I happily sipped on the "bright and connected" combo I created from the menu and spread of add-ons (basil, rosemary, juicy strawberries, to name just 3 of about 10 offerings) Karen put out for people to try out.

What makes it stand out immediately is that they teach classic Pilates, which is surprisingly hard to find these days. So many studios have moved toward trendier, watered down versions of Pilates, but Internal Fire stays true to the original method and you can absolutely feel the difference in the quality of the workout. Another thing that really impressed me is the equipment. They have top of the line apparatus that you just don't see in many of the other Pilates studios around Marin. Everything is beautifully maintained, professional grade, and clearly chosen with serious Pilates practice in mind. It makes the entire experience feel elevated and authentic. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive to form, and clearly deeply trained in the classical method. The studio itself is welcoming, calm, and thoughtfully designed. You leave feeling stronger, aligned, and energized. If you care about true classical Pilates and excellent equipment, this is absolutely the place to go. I'm genuinely thrilled it will be my new neighborhood studio when I move to San Rafael.
