I have been taking classes at CORE Aspirations for a couple years now and absolutely love it! I never thought I would be flexible or have toned abs, but now have both. I can't imagine life without my Pilates family!

Had my first class last night after buying it from Groupon. I have always been curious about pilates ever since Madona started doing it. Well I waited way to long to try it...it was absolutely amazing! I have severe arthritis in both my knees and I woke up with minimal pain and walked down my stairs like a real human for the first time in over a year.
Elizabeth is an amazing instructor with a calm voice and helped me navigate through all the different moves and equipment. The studio is clean and welcoming. I felt right at home and totally enjoyed the work out. If you have ever thought about

Finally found my place! This studio has such a comforting, accepting and relaxing feel! The instructors are incredible at what they do, always helping to make sure you have proper form and are there for any adjustments that need to be made. They are encouraging and really make a point to get to know their clients. I suffer from anxiety and my husband told me the other day that since I have been going to the studio, he has seen a huge decrease in my anxiety levels. And after every class, I feel longer, stronger and refreshed! I love this place!

With only 6 classes so far I am already noticing a tremendous improvement! I am becoming stronger and the exercises really target your abs. If you are looking for a low impact exercise that will tone your stomach, legs, arms whole body and improve strength - this is the studio for you! Laura and her team are very experienced and take the time to teach and make sure you have the right form. Whatever shape you are in, sign up for a class! This is for everyone from the beginner to advanced athlete. If you are familiar with how expensive pilates classes can be - you will understand right away when

At Core Aspirations, the Pilates reformer is subtle but very powerful, I noticed an immediate improvement in my posture and mood after one visit. Felt much better after Laura's class; she's a great instructor with clear, calm instructions without any pressure. The fitness studio is very impressive and relaxing. The other people in the class were supportive and friendly. Excited to go to class tomorrow. Thanks so much.

Core Aspirations is amazing. My wife finally convinced me to give it a try. After just one pilates reformer session, I felt taller, longer and more relaxed which is great. As a former college athlete, I have dealt with many injuries which needed rehab., the reformer feels to me like a rehab for my whole body. It is gentle and the instructors are easy to follow and calm. The price was the very affordable for this high level fitness class. Thanks.
