Pilates Core

As a guy, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect initially from Pilates — but what I’ve learned from the talented and experienced instructors at the Pilates Core is that this body conditioning system can be truly transformative and, despite current stereotypes, is not just for women.
There are plenty of articles that explore this in greater depth, but suffice to say that I’ve really enjoyed the physical challenges and rewards of Pilates. I HIGHLY recommend the Pilates Core, whether you’re just starting out (as I did 18 months ago) or if you’re an advanced practitioner.
The Romana’s Pilates-​certified instructors are friendly but also push/​motivate to maximize your workout. When I started, I was pretty strong but really inflexible, and they’ve been able to focus on developing greater flexibility as well as core strength development.
Why do I continue to study at the Pilates Core?
–Romana’s Pilates Certification: In short, I trust that my instructors are experienced, educated, and authentic.
–The Results: In combination with a change in diet, I lost more than 30 pounds (5’10″, went from 190+lbs. to 160 lbs.) after beginning Pilates, and have developed greater core strength and increased flexibility. I owe a lot to Pilates, as it reinforces the body-​mind connection and has been a major component of my health-​conscious lifestyle.
–The Value: Again, this is authentic Pilates, and I’m fortunate to be able to study under such a quality program. I see myself continuing as a lifelong Pilates student.

The Pilates Core is outstanding! All of the instructors are certified in Romana’s Pilates, which is essentially the truest form of Pilates. Romana Kryzanowska was a student of Joseph Pilates himself (his protégé); therefore, the Pilates taught here is extremely true to its original form. (Beware of Pilates classes at gyms and rec centers – they are often NOT true to the original.)
The Pilates Core offers classes (mat, reformer, and other) at varying levels as well as private instruction. I have done both and found all of the instructors to be very attentive and friendly. They will challenge you but will also be mindful of your needs. I originally started Pilates here to assist me with physical therapy for an injury — not only did I get stronger and healthier, but I got hooked! I’ve been a student here for over 3 years now.
Pilates is an extraordinary way to get stronger, leaner, and healthier. I think it’s great regardless of your athletic ability, gender, size, or even if you have had an injury – they will meet you were you’re at and you’ll progress from there. I have never felt better, and I owe so much of it to The Pilates Core!
They also have plenty of evening and weekend availability for those of us with day jobs, and I have found them to be extremely accommodating in terms of scheduling.
