My wife and I work with Coach Matt 2-3 days a week and have been for about 1.5 months now. We started to see results in less then two weeks.

I can't say enough good things about this place, definitely worth checking out. Two thumbs up!

I have been a regular student at CoreWorks for about five years, and I love it! This is not one of…read morethose "bargain bin" clubs stacked with reformers and a ridiculous client-instructor ratio. At Coreworks, the classes have no more than 8-10 reformers, so the instructor can take the time to help each student with the routines. No two workouts are the same, and classes are never dull. If you are thinking of giving Pilates a try, visit CoreWorks and check Groupon, as there are often new member/class packages.

I always wanted to try pilates on the reformer. The gym I go to is too pricy so when I saw an offer…read moreon groupon for three sessions I purchased it. Per the instructions on groupon, I emailed Fran so that I could create a log in online but I didn't hear back from her so I called the office. Once my account was created, I was able to sign up for classes. I was informed before I took any classes I would need to take the Intro to Equipment class. Fran was the instructor. She was patient and helpful as it was my first time and I needed specialized attention. For my second session, I took Reformer I & II with Doreen. Foe my last session I took Tower with a substitute for Doreen. All the instructors were patient, helpful, and friendly. They ask if anyone had injuries and they walk around and if your technique is wrong they adjust and correct you which I greatly appreciated. The classes were challenging to me since I am not good at following directions. Also, if you don't remember instructions well, I recommend taking Intro to Equipment multiple times. I had to look around to see how to do things as I am a visual learner, not an audio learner. The facility is tucked away in the corner and is not visible if you are in the parking lot. Fortunately I saw someone wearing athletic clothes and followed them. The facility is clean and bright. There are two individual restrooms. There is a main room with cubbies. The reformer room also had cubbies. The reformer room was slightly warm even with ceiling fans so I dressed lighter the second and third session. I enjoyed my experience, but could have benefitted from more intro classes. The classes were much different than my normal cardio and strength training classes at my gym. The pace was slower and it was a great way to relieve stress. I highly recommend Core Fitness for Pilates.

I am 55 years old, 6'1", 182 lbs and used to workout like 20 years ago, then drifted off track for a long time. Here's are the results that have happened since signing up: 1. Wife said, "Hey, your butt was disappearing, but now it is coming back!" 2. I am filling out my shirts and shorts again. 3. I have more energy. 4. ALL physical activities are better. 5. I am watching what I eat a little more consciously. 6. I stopped making excuses for not working out and now somehow I have the time to do it. 7. I found out that, by myself my workouts were lazy and I did not push myself, but with an instructor-led small group and professional program, I complete the workout and push myself. Other thoughts: 1. The trainers at Forever Strong are helpful, kind, motivating and experts at the techniques. 2. The unique program combines weight training, core strengthening, and cardio all in about 45-50 minutes. It is a well rounded approach and great experience. 3. The program changes every 9 weeks entirely and each workout during a given week rotates among 4 different themes/variances to keep it interesting and balanced. 5. Since I am actually using what I am paying for, it is a fair value and exceptionally high return on investment for the monthly price. 6. Their web-driven scheduling system allows me to reserve my space in the session that best fits my weekday and time. 7. Forever Strong sends out helpful video emails with new techniques and exercises. I highly recommend Forever Strong for people who are committed to getting stronger, feeling more powerful, and taking their fitness to the next level.

Repke Fitness has changed my life in a deeply positive way. Louben, Sara, Darius and Noah care…read moreimmensely and are extremely skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable professionals, who understand both personal training and physichal therapy at the same time. They know how to do it right, and the team at Repke build personal relationships and foster a positive, connected, and effective personal training family that I look forward to participating in each training day. Before Repke, I was unable to find a fit after trying many trainers and was convinced I just needed to be a "do it myself" guy. Every trainer was too pushy, too cocky, or too unsafe. Repke is different and better. In addition to fostering a connected and energetic community, Louben requires that his team of trainers develop deep physichal therapy medical knowledge, and know how to do advanced muscle balance and be deeply attuned to form and all muscle groups. They build individualized relationships and customized plans for each person, and adjust those plans to your growth and changes over time and day-to-day needs. If you are actively doing something wrong, they step in with care and coach, correting, teaching, and guiding. They meet you where you are at, targeting exercises that hit your needs at your level of fitness, but not pushing you into what you can't yet handle, unlike others. Before Repke when I lacked guidance, I overtrained my upper-body "push" muscles as so many guys do, and between that and bad desk work posture, I developed very tight upper chest and upper cross syndrome. I couldn't reach and touch much of my back, and needed physichal therapy for immobility. With the Repke team, I've developed a personalized plan to undo that tightness and balance push and pull. I can discuss with them feedback from my physical therapist (who they knew because two of them had worked with her in physichal therapy before!!), and they immediately know what small muscle groups to train in addition to large ones and the best and medically most effective *and* safe exercises to use, and how to truly *teach* and *coach* the form to make those exercises work. This has magnified the effectiveness of my ongoing physichal therapy and I feel like I have a comprehensive, personalized, fully invested team. As a former teacher and coach, game recognizes game. I know of nowhere else I could work with a trained Muay Thai coach and fighter who is also a skilled, physichal therapy medical professional (Darius, you are the best!). I intend to be a member of the Repke community for my lifetime, and I highly recommend you join, too. Repke Fitness is for anyone looking for caring trainers who know what they're doing, and who want to make sure they are doing it *right* and are looking to join a community working to live healthy together.

My parents have been training with Louben and his team for over two months now and I'm seeing very promising results in balance, strength and functionality. I am very pleased with their progress, (given their advanced age), and the fact that Repke Fitness has helped them accomplish that safely. The biggest success in my mind occurred just yesterday, when my mother (85), caught her foot and tripped in an unavoidable fall, and then immediately said "No worries--I've been practicing getting up from the ground", then she proceeded to do just that! I know for a fact that she did not have that skill in August when she started working out there.
