I was shocked and honestly pretty offended, I don't think I look like I was about to rob the place or leer at her students I'm pretty sure I just look like someone who's interested in doing Pilates... DEFINITELY won't be attempting to go back! If you're in the market for megaformers I'd recommend fit Buddha instead. They treat you like family not like a nuisance. ZERO stars for customer service.... But it won't let me give zero stars. As for the actual class I wouldn't know because I was instructed to "go away"

I used to go to Pilates and Or in Santa Barbara, and this studio was really challenging, and I was completely exhausted after class, but I'm sure it helped me build a lot of muscle and lose fat.

I've always wanted to try pilates but have been afraid to. Upon having some private sessions with Kim, I have realized that pilates really helps me a lot especially since I have lived quite a sedentary lifestyle due to some health conditions. The great thing about pilates is that it is low impact and I have found a warm and supportive instructor in Kim. Thanks Kim for being helpful and supportive in this health journey of mine! I wish I would have done it sooner. Also, Carolyn, the receptionist is also warm and friendly. Love this location!

She is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and how your muscles work. She always goes out of her way to correct my form which I appreciate very much and I'm never sore after our sessions. I also really like how each time we do a different routine. She also focuses on the muscles/areas that you want to target. For me, it's my pelvic floor muscles. If you're looking for a new pilates studio, this is the one!

I started 2 1/2 years ago because of sciatica and lower back problems, but because of the strengthening exercises I do there, I have not had a problem since.

Kristi's experience is deep and her repertoire is vast.

For many years after a pilates class we would say 'I'm am so glad we did that!'; but, after 20 years we had sort of stopped saying this.

Complaints that are irrelevant or opposed to the needs of the rest of the membership are treated respectfully.

From Jeremiah (asst mgr) to front desk guy to Eric (general mgr), none of them care or follow through. Eric said he was going to come to class every day for a week and read the rules to the class (which include no talking during class), and start kicking people out of the pool if they were talking. He didn't show up once. All he did was post the rules on the locker room door, which at least makes it easier to turn to someone in the pool and say "there's no talking during class." I wrote Eric a second email regarding the issue and he said "you've got to be patient. It takes time for things to change." Not good enough. I'm extremely disappointed in Swell and in Eric Geeb, the general manager. Edited to add: I mentioned to Eric that I did enjoy my training session with Danny and Eric offered to comp my next session with Danny in return for my disappointment over Aqua aerobics. I thought that was very nice of Eric.

It…read moreis my first time doing the reformer Pilates and I couldn't be more thrilled with how I feel after each class. My only regret is "why didn't I start doing this years ago"? Let me tell you why Core Pilates checks all the boxes. 1) The environment is tremendous. The skilled instructors (yes, they know what they are doing) are positive, helpful, and make you feel that you are in a private lesson! Kathleen is outstanding and should I also mention fun. 2) Unbelievably spotless. The machines are wiped down after every class. The entire place is so clean! You can tell that the owner, Chanda, takes great pride in making sure her business is done right. She is hands on and always available if you have questions, concerns, etc. 3) Variety of programs to fit your needs. I have only done the Classic reformer classes, which I love, but there are so many others to choose from. 4) Childcare. This is a biggie for moms who want to stop in and do a class and know their child is in good hands. I guess you can sense that I really love this place. If you have been thinking about starting Pilates or trying any of the other classes that they offer, I truly believe you will love Core Pilates as much as I do. They also have a free introductory class on Saturdays at 12noon. Do this once and I feel confident in saying that you will be h

Their stretching class on Tuesday and Thursdays is life-changing. It's active stretching, sometimes using tennis balls, or yoga straps and blocks. There's no muscle group too small to cover and you'll leave not just relaxed but maybe even taller. No kidding! Doing one of the leg stretching exercises Chanda leads, you can actually see the leg you start with has lengthened at the end of the exercise--so then you do the other leg to even out! After two years of hunching over a computer in grad school and an injury that took me out of running, the Pilates classes really started restoring my strength, and fix my neck and shoulder problems. One thing that sets this studio apart from others in my experience is the knowledge and willingness to correct form that all the instructors have. Another is the small scale and sense of community. The instructors all really get to know the students and students get to know each other.
