Core MOcean Studio

I have been doing this workout for about 2 years in various parts of the west coast and this studio is the best of its kind. The instructors here personalize each class for all skill levels so that beginners feel welcome/​safe and the more experienced always feel challenged. The megaformers here are brand new (which means that they are clean!!) and the instructors love what they do. Although it is more expensive than some other types of fitness memberships, it is worth it because of the small class size and the personal adjustments. I think of it this way — if I was going to get personal training sessions 3x a week it would be more than double the price. I have tried every workout in the book (spin, barre, yoga sculpt, etc) and this workout has given me the best results in every way. Just 45 mins in and out and you feel great all day long.

The owners and instructors are caring and kind, but do not let that fool you. They will guide you and push you to your limits, which is exactly what I need. I will not push myself to do what I need to do, but they have and will! I have a long way to go before I reach my fitness goals, but after one month in, I feel stronger. I have been going 3 times per week since I started and I haven’t missed a class.

Core MOcean is by far my favorite workout studio. From the moment I first talked to Jana, she was amazing to work with. She was friendly, helpful and really made sure I felt comfortable in the studio. Both her and Alex are great instructors and I am sad to have moved away from this studio. In just 2 short months, I am really starting to see results. This is a fun and challenging workout and every time I leave feeling like i accomplished something. I hope others read this post and give Core MOcean a try, you won’t be let down!!! :) :) :)

I’ve always been active, but this is the first workout I have done in years where I actually see results in both inches lost and size changes in my clothes. After just 3 months of following the guidance of Jana and Alex and taking 2 to 3 classes per week, I have gone down 3 pants sizes and all of my clothes are noticeably looser. I had gotten frustrated to the point of thinking my body was never going to change with distance running and other gym workouts (including Crossfit), so it is so refreshing and exciting to have finally found a complete workout that actually WORKS!
This place is awesome! I had been looking for a new work out to change up my routine, and Core MOcean is definitely it. In 45 minutes on the Megaformer, I get such an effective workout — cardio, strength, balance, flexibility and conditioning — all in one place. An additional plus is that is it is easy on my joints and really helps my flexibility since the Megaformer is ultra-​low impact and the moves stretch you out. The motivating energy in the studio from both of the owners, the other members and the awesome music keeps me wanting to come back and not miss a class. I love the ease of the online booking system and the fact that I get this amazing workout and am out the door in just 45 minutes.
I cannot say enough how lucky I am to have stumbled upon Core MOcean’s studio that weekend in February.
Before Core MOcean, I used to believe that nothing could change my body. Now, I am the closest to my weight from 8 years ago that I’ve ever been.
I have no doubt Core MOcean will transform your body too!

The megaformer workout is in my opinion hands-​down the most complete 45 minute studio/​gym workout I’ve ever done. I was a former Division I collegiate athlete and over the years since then have struggled to find a workout that can compare with the 5 hour workouts I used to do, and the benefits to strength, core work, and heart rate that I was accustomed to maintaining. I also needed something that could accommodate the shoulder injuries I had suffered in my past.
I was introduced to the megaformer through another studio in the Bay Area, and after several weeks of intermittent workouts I saw dramatic results in my muscle tone and weight management. Recently I discovered Core Mocean, which had opened only 10 minutes from my house. After two months of attending workouts 3x a week I can say I have found my happy place. To give you an idea of how good this workout is (read: hard), after my first day I was sore everywhere for the next five days. As others have remarked, the Core Mocean studio is clean and well-​lit, and boasts the latest version of the megaformer machine. It is on the pricey side, but as the studio ages I am hoping there will be more class package options available. With consistent workouts only 3 times a week for the last 2 months, I have seen muscle tone appear on my body that I haven’t had since college. The instructors here are motivating, have awesome music mixes at each class, and really seem to care about your fitness goals. This includes providing hands-​on support for anyone who has injuries or other physical impairments/​limitations requiring modifications during the workout.
One more word on the modifications. This workout is really amazing in the way it can be modified. There is no «plateau» as with many other types of workouts; there are springs on the megaformer that can be added or dropped to provide greater or less resistance in any given move. As others have mentioned, there is also the slow 4-​count that each move incorporates, which can be slowed even further to a 6 or 8 count, providing even more muscle burn. There is also a seemingly limitless universe of moves on the megaformer, so no one workout is the same as another. Furthermore, every move has a modification in position available (which the instructors verbalize when you get into the position), that can accommodate those who are new to the workout (or new to working out in general) or have an area of injury sensitive to a particular position, as well as modifications for those looking for more of a challenge who may want an advanced modification.
Last remarks: I was recently on vacation and stopped in for a massage at our hotel. After massaging my back and glutes, my massage therapist began chatting to me asking how I liked CrossFit, how often I trained, and what my focus was, etc etc. I had to interrupt him to inform him I did not do CrossFit, and then explained the megaformer classes I’d been doing the prior 2 months. He was amazed, and very complimentary of the workout’s results.
I encourage you to give this workout a try — it will speak for itself!

Great workout. You feel it in every muscle in you body. Two sessions in and I can already see more results than two weeks at my gym.

Almost three years ago I was contemplating back surgery; a spinal lumbar fusion, I opted or should I say I chickened out?! In the past two I have lost 50# thanks to my lap band, but I’m about to have it removed. I tried the Megaformer last year and loved it, but the distance to drive was not something I was willing to do, especially with a family waiting at home for me to put supper on the table… but then… I heard a studio was going to open somewhere near me… alas, right down the street! I tried it out, it was better than the «other» place, and most of all, in my neighborhood. I just finished my 9^th session and feel amazing. I walk and stand taller (although I’m 5’1″), I find myself holding in my gut naturally, and I look forward to the next time I get to go! The owners, who also run the classes, encourage you to dig deep and push a little harder; Jana and Alex are a great team! At first, I was a nervous Nellie but now, I push myself a little more each time I go. It’s a commitment, like an appointment. You sign up for your class, if you don’t show, you lose your $. It’s making a commitment to yourself to do something for yourself. Three times a week is all you need. So I quit AVAC and joined this amazing technique, Lagree Fitness Method, Core M’ocean, where the movements are slow & controlled, using your core and mind!

Core MOcean is an awesome place to go if you are looking for a workout that strengthens you while doing low-​impact activities. Jana, the owner is lovely and will call you before your first class to speak with you about the machine and what to expect during class, which is nice because I knew nada about Lagree fitness.
What’s the workout? You use a Megaformer machine to assist your isometric and controlled movements into lunges, squats, pulls, etc. The workout itself feels slow but it really gets the right muscles (and inner muscles) working! You can still feel the effects days after.
Why not five stars? The price point is high with a $ 40 drop in. It’s higher than the other studio memberships my work pays for and due to that, I won’t be coming often. The studio is also basic in design but it is less than a year old.
In the end, I love the workout but $$$ wise it’s higher end.

I love this place. I’ve used this workout in different places and was waiting for it to come locally. Jana is doing a really good job creating a comfortable setting and a community in her studio. I’ve lost a lot of weight (35 pounds) using this workout and am glad that it only takes 45 minutes!!! I’m doing it 2 – 3 times weekly and that’s more than enough. Great spot!

Where to begin,
This place is awesome. The workout is challenging enough to where you feel the burn yet still encouraging enough to keep you motivated throughout the whole class. I definitely could feel my body getting stronger the more I go. I highly recommend this especially if you like working out your core. I love core workouts becauseI feel it helps burn more fat than any other. You get your strength, cardio, and core all in one class (i am all about efficiency). Jana (the owner) is really down to earth and willing to talk you through whatever individual questions/​concerns you may be having with your body or the machine/​technique itself. PLUS you don’t have to wear shoes, just cozy socks, I am more then down with that. From all the classes I’ve taken, the other attendees are friendly and tend to be on similar pages when it comes to learning the techniques/​movements on the machine.
The online booking system makes it easy and convenient to sit down and compare your schedule to your availability with workout times. I love it!
Not to mention this location is perfectly located just a few lights from 85 so easy access to and from.
If anything, do a trial class and see what you think, but once you try it I am confident you will come back for more.
