I have never liked a work out. Seriously never. But this studio - these people. They have created a…read morewelcoming environment that is fun, inspiring, and kicks your butt into gear! I've never done Pilates, but they got me comfortable with the routines, machines, and challenged me all at the same time. Barre - so goooood! Out of my comfort zone, toning muscles I never knew I had. And they don't let you slack! TRX - making me work that upper body and get stronger each class. I love this place and have finally found a somewhere that makes me WANT to workout. Plus - they do fun events like bubbles and barre - who wouldn't want some champagne after a workout ;-)

I love Misha at Central Core (and Jax her cute and uber well behaved studio pup.) I am so thankful…read moreI stumbled across Misha at Central Core Pilates. I use Pilates as a sort of physical therapy as I am recovering from a back injury from heavy weight lifting. I feel strengthened, stretched and realigned after Misha's Pilates classes. Recently we did some spinal decompression and my back has never felt better! Misha's enthusiasm is contagious and her knowledge is abundant. I highly recommend dropping into her studio and trying one of her many offerings. She offers group and private Pilates on Reformer and the mat,, TRX, ab classes among other classes!!

Going from backaches in second pregnancy to struggling to get myself to even do self care was possible with what all Central Core provides as part of their membership & services. Blessing in disguise are her short routinized pilates videos that make the "workout" habit a feasibility for rat race life I experience! She's also always available to answer any questions or concerns we as clients have when it comes to health! Availability, transparent communication, flexibility, accountability, guidance, recommendation, customization, variety & novelty.. all describe what Central Core offers!

At 74, I was starting to struggle with getting up off the ground while doing yard work--but not anymore!

I was recently visiting Avila Beach and dropped in on a group reformer class with Kristina…read moreDellegratta. Lucky for me the class was not full and I received Kristina's personal attention. The studio was clean, the equipment is new and Ardy personally came over and introduced herself to me. I have been doing Pilates for 3 times a week for the last 6 months at a very large and busy studio in San Diego. Kristina took the extra time to help me improve my form and to better understand how to use the exercises to more effectively engage my core muscle groups. She went the extra mile and helped me with some additional therapy exercises I can do at home for my plantar fasciitis. This studio has a great vibe and Kristina is awesome! I would definitely recommend this studio.

What a scam. This club tried to scam me for three hundred dollars. I had been a member there for…read morethree months. They told me there was no cancellation fee after three months. When I emailed them in advance to cancel, they told me someone had signed me up for a new contract one month after I'd already been a member there for a month. So they signed me up for two contracts in a one month period, and told me too bad about the first month it didn't count. So they wanted four months of their 200 dollar contract and when I tried to cancel they hit me with the hundred dollar cancellation fee. Scammers. So I do not even want to go there anymore now. They snuck in an extra month to my commitment and tried to charge me an extra 300 in total to cancel. Well send me to collections and hire a lawyer to serve me and we'll settle it in court. Do Pilates, Get scammed. Update: Interestingly enough, I was able to get out of the contract. The trick is to say a few magic words to the lady on the other end of the emails. Hint: expressing that the contract is similar to the R word works wonders. Best of luck!

I called ahead to make sure I was following the correct protocol for new students and was told I could sign up for any class. So I booked a 6:00 am session, woke up early, and arrived on time, only to find out I had been removed from the schedule without any notice. No email, no text, no call. When I asked the instructor what happened, there was no apology, no effort to help, and no offer to make things right. I was just... dismissed. To make matters worse, I still haven't received a refund for that class, or for another one I had signed up for. It's really disappointing because I was genuinely excited to try this studio. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, this one left me feeling ignored and disrespected. I hope they treat future new clients with more care and professionalism.
