I have been going to Heartcore on and off for over 6 months, and I've enjoyed every class I've taken so far! I appreciate the Off Peak class pricing in this economy, and I tend to book those classes since they're cheaper. These classes are often taught by Krystal and Sunny, and they've quickly become my favorites! They're so patient with newer members. I don't like being touched by instructors during my workouts when they're trying to correct my form, and Krystal+Sunny are able to tell me verbally how to correct my form without touching me. I get a great workout and I'm noticing results - my biceps are getting more muscular as I've become more consistent in the last two months! read more

I've been coming to HeartCore since February of 2023. I had no experience with a reformer class and came as a beginner. Right when I first walked in, I was welcomed warmly by the instructor and notified it was my first class. She showed me around the machine beforehand to get familiar. You might be confused with some of the names they yell out but you have others to watch and the instructor likes to demonstrate on the ground as well. The instructors are all so sweet, motivating without putting pressure. I feel like I created a small HeartCore community with them. 1000/10 recommend. Now, I try coming in every Saturday morning when time permits for a different type of challenge. read more

Heartcore - Pilates Near Me - Redwood City, California

Been coming here for a few months and have tried a bunch of instructors based in my schedule. The classes are fantastic. I'm still learning the names of all the exercises, but all the instructors describe them clearly and the class size is small enough for personal attention when needed. I always feel a bit stronger after each class. read more

Warning to all the boyfriends that get dragged to workout classes: this one is no joke. I've done a couple other Pilates classes here and there but they kind of felt like glorified yoga. Heartcore kicked my butt. I was expecting a little soreness as the muscles worked out are different than my normal gym splits but I really felt it for days. I have a new respect for Pilates classes now and may use this to supplement my normal routine. read more

My after work pick me up! I love this work out - it's quick and effective. The ambiance is also great and instructors are super helpful. So far I've taken Toran & Krystal's class and they're both amazing. Music is always on point and I love the interior vibes read more

Heartcore - Pilates Near Me - Redwood City, California

Our instructor was super nice and did a really good job at guiding us since it was our first time here. Loved our experience!

Updated review: I still highly recommend Heartcore! I've been working out here for a year plus. I know how important strength training is, but it's hard to do on my own. At Heartcore, the workout is challenging, but the instructors will support you and help with form and motivation. There's a lot of variety, and despite how hard it is, the instructors make it fun. I would say that the workout doesn't get easier, but I am definitely stronger! Like other reviewers have mentioned, the instructors are all so friendly and sweet. There really is a community feel at this studio, unlike some of the chain studios I've been to (like Soulcycle, Barrys, etc.) I'm so grateful for Heartcore! read more

Such a fun and amazing pilates studio! They have an intro special which is less than $30 for one class which is unheard of in NYC. I came in having taken some SolidCore classes before but these machines are a bit easier to use (easier to put on and take off the springs) and these instructors are so so sweet. If you're new, come 10min in advance (as mentioned on their website) so they can walk you through the machines; otherwise it can be a safety hazard. You also need to bring your own grippy socks or buy them in the studio. I came with a friend who had never done pilates before and we both left completely feeling the burn for 2 days (in an amazing way). Krystal was our instructor and she was great at motivating us and correcting our form to make sure we were getting the most out of our workout. If I lived in the area, I'd def be a consistent attendee! read more

Heartcore is the perfect blend of everything you want in a high-intesity pilates workout. They have that "it-factor" with their Instagrammable aesthetic, friendly instructors that keep you inspired, megaformers that make sense, and full-body classes that burn like hell but keep you coming back. Needless to say, I'm ADDICTED to this place. I've visited a lot of the popular pilates spots in the Bay Area and I believe nothing compares to this community. Everyone that works here has this contagious, bubbly energy that you can sense the moment you walk in. The people and culture they've created around this place are seriously unmatched. Couldn't rave enough about their staff! Also, I highly recommend this if you're a lagree lover or die-hard reformer warrior. In my opinion, you get the best of both worlds here! Difficult enough for experienced pilates princesses, but also manageable enough for beginners too. Either way, these classes are humbling but I promise you will love the burn! read more

Fantastic studio conveniently located in DT RWC! I absolutely love Krystal as an instructor. Was a regular here when I lived in RWC.

Me and my bff had our first session last week with Michelle. She was rude to my bff. She wasn't very patient with us since it was our first time, we expected a little more patient. She seemed bothered which made us uncomfortable. Today we signed up for a class with Toran, we arrived exactly at 6:30 and she did not let us take the class, just kicked us straight out. I'm very disappointed with this, very good price but very bad customer care. Very rude instructors, don't make us feel comfortable during the workout. read more

The best place for your Pilates Princess! I LOVE it here. The entire staff is amazing to work with. A special and a warm thank you for Toran for making the beginning of my fitness journey amazing ! Another special thank you to Alisa for being above and beyond wonderful! She truly makes an impact on my entire day, I'm always so thankful to have a place, and feel welcomed! No matter the time of day, this class is the highlight ! read more

Heartcore - Heartcore - Pilates Near Me - Redwood City, California

I'm addicted to Heartcore! It took me a while before I was able to write a 5 star review because I don't think it is a great place to start your Megaformer journey, but it's definitely a great longterm investment. Many of the instructors do not demonstrate the moves, and they don't offer beginner instruction because their philosophy is that "there's no better way to jump right in than by taking a group class." It took several weeks before I felt like I even kind of knew what I was doing, which not everyone will have the luxury to afford. Now that I have been coming for a couple of months, I really enjoy the classes and have seen big changes in my strength. I particularly enjoy Toran's classes as she is clear with her instruction and always checks everyone's form. My recommendation would be to learn the basics at a different studio and then come here when you feel more confident in the method. read more

I looove this Pilates studio. I always come here with my girlies to get our sweat on! I love coming here to wake my body up after a long day sitting in my cubicle and meeting rooms. Toran and Krystal always push me in the best ways. They are so helpful in maintaining my form and making sure we are doing our moves correctly. My core, arms and legs are definitely happy here too! read more

I have never been more pleasantly surprised to find a megaformer studio with such excellent instructors than I have with Heartcore! I absolute LOVE Krystal and Michelle's classes so, so much! Their workouts are always so fun, challenging, and they always switch it up, which I love! Their energy always keeps me motivated, and I really enjoy the music selection for the class. Lastly, they really are paying attention to what you are doing, and truly take the time to try and improve your form. I cannot say enough good things about these badass gals, and look forward to coming to class every week! read more

Um... what just happened? I booked my first class here at 12:00pm on a Sunday. I got here right at 12:00pm. Toran was very snappy and rude, cut me off mid-sentence and told me I couldn't take the class because I didn't show up 10 minutes early. I couldn't find those instructions but it doesn't seem like anyone else had this issue so maybe I just missed it. That attitude just really gave me the ick. One star because Heartcore kindly refunded my payment for the intro class. read more

I absolutely love this studio! The workouts are intense but I always leave feeling a sense of gratitude and accomplishment. The instructors are very supportive and hands on to ensure you are doing every move correctly. It's a little bit of a commute for me, but so so worth it! read more

Just had my first class with Toran & she was the best! Such a great instructor, I love how she walked me through how to use the machine and gave helpful feedback to everyone while working out. She made it a point to check in on all the new students afterwards as well, which was really kind. Overall, great music, challenging/fun work out, and immaculate vibes. read more

Tatum is the best instructor ever, I had the best experiences, defiantly will take another class! read more

I started here in March when we moved to RWC. It's been such a wonderful experience with a great community of instructors and classmates. These classes have truly checked off all of the boxes of what I was hoping for. I've been doing 3x per week since I started. The classes never get boring and are always challenging in their own way. I love the attention to form/details and feel like I get enough personal attention. I feel so much stronger and better in my body without spending hours working out. Thank you Sav, Toran, Michaela and Crystal. read more

Where do I start? I've taken a handful of Megaformer classes before coming to Heartcore. Little did I know that I was about to get hooked on classes here! I tried my first class for $15 and signed up for the new client month right after. Classes here are really tough and really take Megaformer to the next level in just 40 mins! You literally feel all the shakes and quakes, but slowly feel yourself getting stronger. The instructors are very knowledgeable and have answered any questions I've had (like when my hips were hurting thus I needed to stick my booty out more). There's a max of 11 machines so class size is small and you get enough attention/adjustments. I've chatted with Chrissy who is super sweet and love that the studio is owned by 3 sisters. Heart Heartcore. They've been super understanding when my schedule changed a few times. Can't wait for their next location to open! Tip: Classes get full fast, but I've always gotten into class after putting myself on the waitlist. read more

I took a reduced-rate first session Strength session this morning, and appreciated my introduction to the megaformer and Lagree fitness in a supportive environment well coached by Lindsey. I would recommend this fitness studio if you are curious about Lagree, want to try a change from Pilates with a reformer, or are seeking a different modality you may incorporate into your fitness routine. I may not be a frequent attendee due to inconvenient travel, but I may return here to change up my regimen every so often. read more

I love Heartcore so much! I am an extreme beginner without any fitness experience what so ever. The 3 different instructors I've taken have been absolutely AMAZING!! They push you to your limit and hold you accountable but also acknowledge the fact that you're so tired. As a beginner I was afraid of judgement because there is absolutely 0 fitness bone in my body but the community and instructors have been nothing but accepting and supportive. I've been coming to Heartcore since February and have already noticed a difference in my mental health, physical health& fitness capabilities. I also enjoyed the fact that there is not a beginner class because it throws you right into the rhythm of where you are supposed to be. I love that Heartcore has become part of my weekly routine!! read more

I have been doing Megaformer for over ten years and Heartcore is the crème de la of studios. The instructors are exceptional, the vibe is welcoming and the classes are not stacked with so many machines, that you are touching your neighbor or limited in movement due to proximity of your neighbor. The most supportive and uplifting studio - would give more starts if possible! Much love to the HC team!! Grateful!! x K read more

Great environment. Very upbeat and fun classes that get your heart rate up! They keep their equipment really clean.

Killer workout! I loved every second of it. It always challenges me. I leave feeling great. The coaches are friendly and provide modifications/adjustments read more

ive tried many workout studios in the area but heartcore is the first place ive committed to a monthly class pack, instructors are all so nice and attentive and super helpful to adjust your form when needed, and studio is very clean and spacious! parking is easy to find nearby as well. my core was sore for days after my first class in a good way, it's such a good workout! read more

I love these classes, and felt sore in places I didn't know existed! I used Heartcore to achieve my perfect "wedding body," and at the age of 37, am in the best shape and health I have ever been in. I always wanted something in the realms of a six-pack and came pretty darn close. Thank you instructors Savannah, Toran, and Alicia! read more

Beyond sick of Toran and her authoritative attitude about starting class. I understand if you're late, you're new etc.... I arrived tonight at 6:28.5 she refused to let me in. The classes are not inexpensive and if you are a regular student who wasn't technically late you should let them in. Her condescending attitude is insulting. I've worked with plenty of other instructors at all the studios and they make it work. While I love HC, but due to her attitude. I'll go to a non HC Pilates studio if her class is the only one available. read more

I joined this place nearly a 39 days ago around last week of Feb. I was skeptical about doing pilates as I thought these are for women as the workout seem to be slow. It is not an easy workout, it's freaking hard. Furthermore, the research shows pilates better for men. It's the best workout I have had over years, never done this type of workout. Here is my experience at iHeartCore: * Intense 40min work out. * Love the feeling after working out, feel light and love the sore feeling. * I lost about 7.6lbs in 39 days, without much changes to my eating habit (see attached image). * Trainer help you push you through the class * Trainers, I like the most are: Sofia, Taylor and Elysha are for following reasons: ** These Trainers provide a pro-active personal attention in a group class - ** When your position is wrong, they immediately walk and help you correct your posture or workout style. ** They connect with you after class to understand how was your session and help you correct your position and customize the exercise if you have difficulty. ** They are the most approachable and want to help everyone. * I like Group classes as there is peer pressure to extend yourself during the session I wish the unlimited package had some discount so I could go 4 days a week. read more

Heartcore - My weight went from ~137 lbs to ~130.8 in 39 days. - Pilates Near Me - Redwood City, California

Work work work!! None stop I love it! The instructors are so helpful and welcoming, helps to really feel it the next few days!

Simply the best! Chrissy is wonderful and it's so nice to know the business is owned by three sisters. The vibe and the atmosphere is friendly and the instructions are easy to follow and effective. Thank you! read more

Great workout, but I wish they had some kind of introductory class or different levels to get familiar with the machine and ways to modify positions for safety reasons. read more

I am a pro badminton player with almost twenty years of experience. After my ACL & Meniscus reconstruction, I thought I had to say goodbye to my core strength until I recommended joining Heartcore from my physical therapist. The low-impact workout with instructors' individual attention to my entire core helped me to regain my hope and feel much more robust in my joints and whole body strength just after few sessions. The knowledgeable and cute team of instructors is the other huge plus for the Heartcore family! If you are interested in a colossal change in your workout routine, this is the place that you must give it a shot!! read more

I've taken about 60 total classes across the different Heartcore locations, with many different instructors, and I have had a very positive experience with each class! I highly recommend this studio for every fitness level, the instructors are accommodating, knowledgable, and invested in each person who comes into the studio. The atmosphere is supportive, everyone gets detailed feedback and coaching throughout the 40 minute class. This is the first workout in a long time that I want to stick with, it's incredible how much is packed into 40 minutes. I look forward to going and I feel great after (and super sore). I highly recommend giving this a try! read more

This studio has a bunch of amazing people running it. I took a class here not knowing anything about the Megaformer. I read that is as high as intensity as cross fit, but not has hard on your body. During the first 5 minutes of class, I wanted to quit. It was super intense. I thought I wouldn't make it. Our instructor helped me get my form correct and pushed me all the way to the end of the class. I will definitely be coming back so I can get better. Highly recommended! read more

I've tried many group classes and none consistently give me shaky muscles, mascara-running sweat and results like Megaformer! I'm so glad I found Heartcore. It's an excellent studio and Toran always keeps us laughing through the pain. read more

I am hooked and obsessed with Heartcore! Their instructors are so kind and very informative. They are hands on (which I like) to adjust your posture during a move as a means of protecting you from injuring yourself. This place has such a welcoming atmosphere in that I feel like I am a part of the Heartcore family. There is nowhere else I would rather break a sweat! I have been going here for over a year and a half and have met many new friends and have also gained muscle too! I encourage you to try Heartcore. You won't regret it! read more

Heartcore - Working out with a friend makes the workout so much more fun! - Pilates Near Me - Redwood City, California

I am extremely disappointed in the way that Heartcore has handled their customers recently. Having been a long time client, it seems that their value of the customer has decreased significantly. It has turned into a completely different business than when I joined. Classes are now taught by student instructors, extremely expensive, and they've even been shorted due to COVID. Though I understand the priority to keep everyone safe during this time, Heartcore has the ability to schedule classes whenever they want instead of shortening the class and still expecting customers to pay $30, something that I cannot stand by. I wish that this place had been able to keep the fun environment that I was initially drawn to, but it has now turned into a stressful experience to go here. I hope that they can return to the business that they used to be. read more

I've pranced around at a few megaformer studios around the bay and around the country. I must say - Heartcore is top notch. Here's what makes it great: * The teachers. I've mostly tried the advanced classes since I like the marginally longer classes (personal preference for 45 minutes, but I'll suck it up for a 50 minute class.) Both of the teachers for the advanced classes are excellent in their own ways. Jessica is amazing - excellent cues, great descriptions on anatomy (I'm a sucker for some science lessons) and the nonstop adjustments (I know not everyone likes that, but I'm very prone to injuring myself so I really appreciate these.) She's great on making things a little bit more challenging by tweaking your form (mostly because I get lazy sometimes I cheat.) Adriana - only managed to take her class once, but I wasn't sure I was going to survive at the end. I did and I came back. Great energy and really pushes you a little harder than you thought you could. *The vibe. The owners are pretty involved in everything - from answering emails in a heartbeat (ahhhh, pun intended) to taking classes in the studio to introducing themselves to student. I was lucky to meet Chrissy on my first day and she was peppy and friendly. This heavy involvement in the success of the studio shows - classes are packed, students are happy and students actually like each other. I noticed that they had a 6 week challenge board and it was FULL of names of students grinding through like NBD. Here's more info: * Yes, classes are expensive, but it's pretty standard for megaformer. Since class is limited in size for safety reasons, they can't pack people in like a yoga studio can. * Megaformer is hard. I've been doing it for awhile and I still barely make it every time. Teachers will help you modify a lot, but be prepared to hold on for dear life to the machine your first few times. Be patient - your strength will come especially if you are new! * For the Lagree purists out there, some teachers do break up the blocks and/or use weights. I have mixed feelings about the broken up exercise blocks, but I won't shut it down. Weights I'm okay with skipping, but whatever the teacher wants, I'll just do. read more
