I have…read morebeen going to Core Collective for over a year now, and I was so nervous in my first class, but the environment is so welcoming, I kept coming back. The memberships are very reasonably priced, especially if you're a student.

Core Collective is one of my favorite places here in Ann Arbor and I literally drag all my friends to take a class with me.

Checking in was easy, and for my first time, it was so helpful to get a quick overview of the equipment and get full explanations and demos of the sets of exercises we were going to tackle. It was nice knowing what to expect ahead, and a good rotation through core, legs/glutes, obliques, and upper body. Lots of first or second timers and this class and I felt supported/guided. Instructor was walking around giving feedback, and asked ahead of time on permission for light touch corrections. It was a great pilates/strength training type workout! Adaptable to different experience and fitness levels. I'm definitely still sore two days out. I think most of the workout could be replicated at home with weights, bands, and sliders, but it's very fun to use the fancy reformer machine and be guided through / not have to plan or program a really effective workout.

I've taken ~60 or so solidcore classes at this point in three different states at 5 different…read morestudios, so I've been able to experience a lot of variation in the classes offered. Overall solidcore is my favorite workout I've ever tried and I'm totally a super fan for life. Unfortunately this wasn't my favorite studio. Pros: 1. Instructor was phenomenal (I took class with Jane S) - she offered a lot of versatility in the class, offered plenty of modifications and amplifications, and clearly knew what she was doing. Gave shoutouts to individuals within the class which I always really like. Probably one of the best solidcore instructors I've taken class with 2. The class itself is awesome as mentioned above. I'm just totally obsessed with solidcore - can't recommend it enough for someone looking for a challenging but high-energy full body strength class. Cons: 1. The reformers at this studio needed a major facelift. They were rusty, the rubber covering the strings was falling off, and I think they have smaller platforms than the standard sweatlana (although that may have been my imagination). I'm not sure if they were just really old or maybe purchased from another studio secondhand or something but they were soooo bad compared to the quality that I'm used to at solidcore 2. No lockers in this studio (just bins) which is obviously a risk for theft, etc. not the end of the world but I feel like having lockers is a pretty baseline request All in all, I don't live in Michigan full time so I likely won't be back anyway, but if I did live in the area I'd return as I just absolutely love the workout. Studio just needs some TLC

I'm amazed by how much these classes can still kick my butt, and grateful that the instructors continue to challenge me to give the extra effort.

I intend to keep coming back whenever I'm back in town.

Vie is by far the best fitness studio in Ann Arbor. I have done both group and individual sessions…read moreat Vie for over three years. The instructors are dynamic, knowledgeable, and tough yet supportive and encouraging. While I love all the classes, I always make sure to go to at least three group Tower Pilates classes a week. Unlike many studios, Vie has all the Pilates equipment, and all the instructors are certified in Classical Pilates. The classes are limited to 6 people, and the instructors make sure everybody in the class is using proper technique (that then reveals how unbelievably tough a lot of the simple-seeming exercises are). Even though I work out a lot, if I don't do Pilates at Vie regularly I start getting lower back pain and stiffness. It is amazing how much better I feel when I do regular Pilates. Besides the terrific instructors and classes, Vie is also a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing studio. You feel spoiled by the lovely amenities--soft lighting, lush colors, fruit-infused cold water, thick, fluffy towels. It is not a cheap studio, but quality does not come cheap. I am thrilled that Ann Arbor has this five-star fitness studio and spa.

There are cubbies to put your stuff in - no lockers, which I kind of didn't really like. I like knowing my belongings are secured. For the intro class you don't need grippy socks! You also sign a waiver before class. I walked into the room and Michelle was our instructor. She was not very friendly and is the reason I am giving my experience 2 stars. We chatted before the class started and she asked if I had any Pilates experience before. I said I have taken some Solidcore classes before. To which she said "oh well this will be different from Solidcore. Our moves are more nuanced". Her tone of voice was very condescending and she seemed to minimize my experience. The class itself wasn't really much of anything. It felt like random stretches and movements on the reformer.

When I got there and met the instructor, she warned this was going to be quite advanced. Um, okay? I don't know what is considered advanced so I went along with it. It was SOO hard! I wanted to leave about 15 minutes in. But I hung in there, let my legs completely shake and quake and made it through. As we were leaving, several of the regulars said this was one of the hardest ones they've even done. While I'm super proud of myself for not running out of the room in tears, I would have appreciated finding out about the level prior to my getting there. I definitely would not have chosen it as my first time, but there was nothing on the website and nothing on the ClassPass app that gave this type of info.
