I have been training at Coreworks Fitness in Columbia for 15 years. They are a top notch studio. As a professional dancer, pilates is one of our staples. I am grateful to have such a high level staff to work with. Master trainer, Michele has worked with my champion Irish dancers and is one of the reasons for their success. Mother/Daughter team Sarah and Fran are a forced to be reckoned with. I highly recommend this studio for all body types, all levels.

I highly recommend CoreWorks Fitness Studio for in-person classes as well as virtual classes. I had almost three months of in-studio experience there with barre classes, mat Pilates, and equipment Pilates classes. I was new to these types of exercise, and the instructors were welcoming. All of the instructors were helpful, encouraging, and knowledgeable. The studio was a clean and comfortable environment. Due to COVID-19 statewide closures in spring 2020, the studio’s instructors posted a variety of wonderful (and free!) workout videos on their YouTube channel and then started live virtual classes. At first I was too self-conscious to have my camera on, but soon realized leaving my camera on during these live classes allowed for instructors to give real-time feedback and guidance for form and posture, to avoid injury and focus on the muscle groups intended for each exercise. CoreWorks Fitness Studio offers virtual classes 7 days a week, so their monthly unlimited plan is extremely affordable if you consistently take a few classes each week. I find I can attend more classes virtually compared to when I attended in-studio as I do not need to factor in drive time or make child care arrangements to exercise. All of the instructors remain helpful, professional, and fun while teaching virtual classes, and they switch up the exercises and choreography so the classes are not redundant and muscle groups are being worked, challenged, and stretched in different ways. The studio has been able to resume in-person classes with careful safety protocols in place, but luckily continue to offer the virtual classes as well. Their website is easy to navigate to pay for memberships, sign up for classes (in studio and virtual), and they are communicative via email to answer any questions. These classes have been a big part of my “self care” for physical and mental health, and I highly recommend people check out this studio! If you’re unsure, explore a few of their free YouTube videos, then consider a virtual class. I have nothing but positive things to say about each and every instructor of whom I’ve had the privilege of taking their class (both in-studio in the past and now virtually).

I have been going to Coreworks for years and I love it. I have not found another place that gives me a full body workout like Coreworks. In addition to traditional Pilates, they incorporate other types of fitness into their program and I really feel like a get a great workout. The variety of classes and the instructors are wonderful. I would highly recommend!!

Peter is great! I love his philosophy and his compassion. I’ve know Peter for a few years as a massage therapist and he understood my personal situation so he looked for a way to provide me the one on one personal training that fit my budget and time. I am happy to learn from him about the whole body care from proper movement to building physical strength to mindfulness and meditation. I have truly enjoyed the sessions to date and will be sad when they are over. I love working with Peter!!The gym is nice and clean. I like the variety of equipment and exercises available. The members and staff are friendly and the cost is reasonable too.

Coreworks offers a variety of classes for all levels, and the team is just wonderful! Each trainer has her own way and so each class has its unique flavor! My health has improved a lot since joining Coreworks and they also offer some classes for women only.

The instructors here are excellent. Very knowledgeable. They really know how to work with clients who have physical limitations but still want to push ourselves. The equipment, especially the Pilates Reformer, is the best!

Cannot say enough good things about Coreworks! I first did the intro unlimited new client package, and since than now have an unlimited monthly membership. From the instructors, variety of classes, times, locations, and the studio itself- everything is amazing. I have truly had such a positive change in my body and am so much stronger (and getting stronger) after each class. The instructors never make you feel uncomfortable and are always helpful and not condescending if you cannot complete the full circuit of the movement and/or they adjust you so that you can work towards the full position/movement. Love, love, love!update (6/2019):: I love coreworks! They are amazing and the instructors are phenomenal. I wish they offered more early afternoon classes and weekend afternoon classes, but hasnt stopped me (well.. only sometimes) from attending for over a year now. I dont think I have ever maintained fitness classes as much as I have with Coreworks. They are awesome!

Coreworks is an amazing place to take Pilates and yoga classes. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful and they will help you to achieve the desired level of difficulty in class.

The people are friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. I love the family atmosphere and feel like Im at home when I come to work out. It makes me feel good knowing that if I ever had a question or concern I could talk to anyone on staff there and get a good, solid response. Its obvious that every single person who works or works out at Core Works truly cares. The equipment is top notch, and anything I could ever dream of using for a workout is readily available (squat racks, barbels, kettle bells, prowler, etc.).

Ive been going to Coreworks since last June. Ive spent most of my life competing in athletics and athletic events. Volleyball, softball, mud runs, races, you name it. Im so grateful I found Coreworks and the knowledgeable instructors there. They have a variety of class styles and for the first time in my life Im exercising with a new purpose: functional movement. Class is as challenging as you are willing to make it, and most importantly you know youre taking care of your body (and not just beating it into the ground).Fran and her team are very open to feedback, and add/change classes based on member schedules and preference.PS Ive recently begun supplementing my membership with a cheap athletic club so I can still lift free weights whenever I want. Pilates & weights are my perfect combination for a strong lean bodyThanks Coreworks!

I have been participating in small individually tailored sessions with Fran for the past several years. She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in adapting the exercises and sessions to my needs. She is always attentive to safety and adjusts the exercises to provide the best balance in assuring that existing muscle weaknesses are protected while continuing to build needed strength and flexibility. She is the Best! I am grateful to have discovered Coreworks and consider it essential to my continued wellbeing now.

Improving your overall health is probably the most important element of Coreworks Fitness. They are not just about pushing weights. It is a more rounded comprehensive direction to improve ones self.

Review №18

It’s a shame that companies don’t realize that the people that they have answering their phones can make or break them.I called and asked very simple questions like do you have Vinyasa yoga and what is the pricing and when is it available. The person who answered the phone couldn’t answer any questions and was a little rude “I don’t know what that is” “what do you want ““We have mat classes” “ tell me specifically what you want“. Even after explaining that I wanted to continue with movement and not static poses first-rate and weight loss, she still has troubleI would expect “we have a class like that called X and it is offered on X days and x times. it cost X amount of dollars to try or be a member.”It’s probably a great place but I’ll never know.

Pilates is helping not only to improve my postural strength but also improve my body awareness. This is helping me to decrease pain in my body. Classes are always different each week,which keeps you learning, and never getting bored with a fixed routine.

The best part about this studio is the community; great students, awesome, educated colleagues, small individual-oriented classes specializing in keeping you fit, and moving well, even with limitations or chronic pain... Who could ask for more?

Why do I go to Coreworks? The level of knowledge and expertise the instructors have and their commitment to well-being. Love the design of the studio in Columbia. I appreciate that, in these times of short attention spans and the use if gimmicks to get people into a workout routine, Coreworks has held fast to its premise: pilates and core srengthening. They are welcoming to all age groups, which is fast-becoming rare at most workout facilities. Their only fault is they are too accommodating to latecomers to class - people who regularly consistently predictably come late, which is a sign of selfishness and disrespect to Coreworks and those of us who arrive on time. They may not mind being late, but I mind your persistent disturbance as you disrupt my class time. I have been attending Coreworks since 2006 through kidney surgery, breast cancer, and spinal surgery. Pilates has always been my go-to when healing and in maintaining health and good posture. It should be yours too.

Attended a Balanced Body CoreAlign2 training. Studio was clean and the people that work there seemed very friendly. There was adequate space for the equipment and students.Sara was our instructor and is VERY knowledgable. She went through every exercise, in depth, and gave us plenty of modifications and common questions asked. She also gave us excellent feedback for us for our future instruction.Ive taken another pilates teacher training course here before and the instruction was also very good.If I lived closer to the area, Id definitely consider taking classes there as the instruction Ive received has been excellent.
