CORevolution Fitness

Found this gem of a studio on ClassPass and its one of my favorite locations to get in a great workout. Be warned that this workout is intense and will push you to your limits where your muscles are shaking!
The studio is conveniently located in the Argonaut Shopping Mall with the CVS and Safeway. There’s ample parking on the side of the building, and the studio is always super clean and the front desk staff super friendly. I’ve done classes with Andrea and Sarah and they’re both amazing and great at pushing you to always work your body harder!
My favorite part of the CORevolution experience is the chilled eucalyptus towels at the end to wipe yourself off after a sweaty workout, so refreshing!

My first review in about 2 years, and my first fitness studio review!
Absolutely love this studio. It opened up pretty recently in the Argonaut shopping strip mall next to the Safeway. The studio itself is very clean, staff are super professional, and the owner Siobhán is incredibly welcoming and clearly loves what she does. This studio is incredibly warm, friendly, and encouraging (not judgmental or condescending unlike other places I’ve tried). I’ve loved all the instructors here, particularly ANDREA, who is inspiring (to say the least), and whose classes are so freaking hard I WANT TO CRY after every workout.
I love the Lagree classes on the Megaformers. For those not familiar with this workout, it’s a «high intensity, low impact» workout on this machine similar to those reformer pilates, but it’s NOT pilates. It’s SO TOUGH. My gripe with many workouts is that it’s not intense enough — that’s never the case here.
You move very slowly against constant tension so your muscles are always working and you fatigue really fast. This means you’re doing both strength training AND cardio at the same time. I’m always profusely sweating and incredibly sore for like 2 – 3 days after each of my workouts here. Like a good TV series, it might take a few times to get the hang of it (as it did for me) — so try at least 5 workouts before you pass judgment!
IMO I think you hit anaerobic metabolism ASAP and then you’re burning calories exponentially faster than traditional aerobic cardio since the cells are working much less efficiently than when you are doing aerobic exercise (e.g. running/​cycling/​etc), but that’s just my personal thought haha but more results
Benefits I’ve seen:
– I can lift stuff now (used to not be able to lift my carry on luggage onto the overhead compartment on planes — I KNOW weak sauce)
– used to get low back pain cycling/​running sometimes, which I don’t get any more bc of my much stronger core
– starting to see some toning/​definition :D
– lost ~10lbs in 3 – 4 months WITHOUT changing my diet

I’ve been taking Pilates Reformer classes for 7 years now. I still enjoy the Reformer immensely but the Megaformer is a whole other beast! It will push you to your limit and then some – your muscles will be screaming! But when the class has ended, and every one of your muscles – including those hard to reach ones – are fully fatigued, and you’re wiping down with that super refreshing eucalyptus towel you know it’s all been worth it… and you feel AWESOME!
All the instructors at CORevolution are super inspiring and motivating, and though I generally have a full schedule, I’m going to make it a point to get to two classes a week from now on. I’ve been doing just one for the last month, but they’ve got me hooked and now I think I need a more frequent fix! ;-) Thanks for the great workouts CORevolution!

I am an afternoon & evening workout person. The quality of instruction (Vicki) & the facility here is _​compelling_​enough for me to be there for the 6AM. The other times and days are great. I can shoehorn in a solid work out when there are slivers of time. The 5-​star review is because every class and every instructor was terrific!

I am not one to go to a gym or seek any personal training nor really find satisfaction in working out. I prefer other types of exercises and playing all sorts of sports. But when I heard about Megaformer … I was curious.
So I signed up for an intro class but it did not feel like an intro class because it was challenging but rewarding. It was cool because the class was small, about 4 people and Debbie, the instructor, was very helpful and enthusiastic. She pointed out my posture mistakes and helped me benefit from the 45 min. workout.
The workout was very low impact yet at a steady pace. It was so different than yoga, weight lifting, or nautilus equip. workouts (yeah… that was like back in 1996. ha ha) but nowadays there seems like so many types of exercises and workouts but Megaformer here is awesome!
I highly recommend trying a class at CORevolution! It felt good to sweat and feel my muscles working. Also, this place is really top notch with cool interior design, very hip and new inside. Staff is great, friendly, helpful and they really encourage you to benefit from your workout. I loved the no pain, no gain I experienced.
The class was so good that I went back the next day to get more COR muscle training and boy was I sore today. It was crazy during the workout as my legs would shake and it was intense. But I would like to try some more classes as I hear they have more advanced classes. Oh yeah… there was this woman who was like 7 – 8 months pregnant and she was doing great on the machine. Unbelievable! She was awesome!
COR sells clothing and accessories too and they have a water dispenser to refill your water bottle; they also has cubicles for your belongings. And you can buy or borrow ‘rubber bottom’ socks for your workout. They have a cool name, logo and branded gear to buy too! This is the place to go for your next workout. Burn, shake and roll!

Prior to this class, I had only done the traditional reformer in a Pilates studio. This was like no other class I’ve ever been to. The abs were killer right out of the gate and I was shaking at the end of class. It hit every muscle part in a short amount of time and the class flew by. Super fun music, instructor and a hip vibe in the studio. Fun and hard work combined.

I love this studio and workout! There is nothing like it, and I’ve tried everything! I am drenched in sweat, and have had a through body work out in 45 minutes. It’s low impact, yet manages to dig into all your small muscle fibers. It’s made me longer and leaner, even my family has made mention on how great I’m looking :) The space is clean and modern, and the teachers fantastic. I’m hooked and you will be too.

I simply adore Andrea. She is a wonderful teacher and her funny stories make class fly by. I tried the Lagree 25 ramp class and I am still sore! The studio is beautiful and clean. Also, beware of the clothing rack! They offer some of the cutest workout gear I have seen!

I have tried all kinds of workouts. its somewhat of an obsession… so when this studio opened up ofcourse I was going to try it.
The studio itself is clean, new and feels fun.
Now the class: OMG… my legs were shaking 10 mins in. Its a kind of work out that attacks muscles you dont know you had and works them to the point where I feel like i am sculpting everything.
The instructors vary in style but they are all fun and kick your butt!
Go sign up and try it out!

If you’ve never tried the megaformer before, you are in for a treat. During my first class I had never felt more weak, but by the end I was also totally invigorated.
I love the instructors at CORevolution, they are supportive and understanding. They push you hard, but don’t expect you to be the strongest or be perfect. They know that improving is all part of the journey. I have been to other studios where the instructors can be mean and condescending but that is 100% not the case here.
I also love the wide variety of class times. My work schedule is a little different every day so it’s really nice having tons of time slots to choose from.

Loved my intro class. My cousin dragged me in and I liked it way more than I thought I would. The instructor was really attentive and hands-​on which I appreciated as a beginner. I’m still sore from the workout because it focused on muscles that I didn’t even know I had! Going to look into this type of class up in SF as that’s where I live.

I have been attending reformer classes in London for over five years and happened to bump into this one during my winter break. I LOVED it. Here is why everyone should try at least five classes:
— full body work out for both advanced folks and beginners. You work the big and small muscles and definitely all the important ones that will help prevent aging and make you feel and look great
— amazing Megaformers that have a ramp. It’s seriously a phenomenal robot
— understanding, fun, approachable trainers
My cousin is a physical therapist and I dragged her into five classes with me. She loved it and commented on how you can work on all sorts of hard-​to-​reach muscles with this class. I think I got her addicted as well!
I have been looking for a megaformer class in Saratoga/​Cupertino/​Los Gatos for years and I have finally found it! Keep up the good work, CORevolution Fitness!

Loved my class with the trainer Vicki Hagberg. Such a tough workout and so much fun! You can really feel every muscle, and you get the shakes because you push your body to the limit. Awesome variety of class times! looking forward to going back!

Anyone looking for a unique Christmas gift they want to buy for that someone special… or even for me… tee hee!? ! But seriously, OMG this place is amazing from the classes, the instructors, the intense what I’m going to now call the ‘early New Years Resolution workout’ down to the cool workout outfits. I personally am extremely busy with Christmas and all but I just had to write a little something because I’m so jazzed about this place and can’t wait to return after Xmas… darn parties!

yay, another megaformer studio near me! this studio has a ton of machines, and they are the newest kind that incline! i haven’t tried that yet, but i’ve been assured that it makes the class that much harder!

This is just awesome! One of my good friends Nam recommended this studio to me (probably because she knows I’m a fitness fanatic). I love anything fitness related, and have tried pretty much every form of exercise and/​or exercise class… but let me tell you, there is nothing like this!!! The mega former, is one of the most efficient ways of exercising. I got my butt kicked by Andrea, and have never enjoyed a work out class more than this one! I immediately signed up for more! I can’t wait to add this class to my workout régime, at least once a week!

My first time working out at this studio. I absolutely love the workout. It worked every muscle group and some I did not even know I had. The instructor was excellent and made sure we all worked to our fullest capacity. The studio has a very nice and warm feeling. I will definitely be back for more. I highly recommend this to anyone who is ready for an excellent, challenging workout.

My mother and I tried CORevolution for the first time after a recommendation from a friend. We have not tried a megaformer before so we were brand new. We had a full class but the instructor did a great job of being helpful and patient throughout the class, and did everything she could to help us. The workout was very intense but it was an awesome experience. I was using muscles I didn’t even know I had. The studio itself is great, very welcoming and cute. I recommend to anyone! Great place!
