Not a good teacher training studio

by ilovepilates1977

The manager of this place (Core Pilates) is very mean.

In the comprehensive course at Core Pilates they treat you like you owe them something even though you pay them a lot of money to be there. They make you feel like you are in like you are in high school again and they don't respect you.

If you want to get a head in the apprentice course @ Core Pilates you have to be friends with the owner. A few of the 'favorite' apprentices get to become studio teachers overnight even though they have not completed all the stages - they basically jump ahead of all the other hard working and talented students that don't suck up to the owner.

Great and frequent pilates classes

by Freccero

The folks here are serious teachers and they also have a sense of humor. The studio is light and airy, the classes are frequent, and the overall atmosphere is great. I love Core Pilates NYC.

Great teachers, but....

by EyeHeartPilates

I recently joined this studio. So far, I am impressed with the teachers. They provide the mats and filtered water, which is great!

The space is lovely, though it can get a bit crowded at times. Also, since there are multiple sessions going on, it can get distracting with all the talking. I wish they had some music just to level out the voices, also it would be calming. I've taken a mat class there and in the next room there are semi-private/private sessions going on and they talk really loudly. I know it's not just me because I heard my teacher complaining that she could not hear herself talk. Also, not crazy about some of the administrative staff, they talk and make noise during the sessions and one of them is rude.

I'm not sure if I will continue here, I really like the level of teaching, but the distractions can be really frustrating.

  • Pros: Teachers, Space, Perks (water, mat)
  • Cons: Admin. Staff, Noise, No Music

Made easy to motivate through organized booking system and great location

by willow25

I've heard good things about this studio when they had their branch in Los Angeles and I was excited to see that they offered purchasing and self-scheduling online -- which was great for me while traveling in the city on business doing late hours. The system is very easy and straightforward and a great introduction to how easy and straightforward and CHALLENGING the teachers and overall feel of the studio is. Just wish they had a shower. But I truly felt Pilates in my body during the tower class and understood more than I ever had before what core means and what Pilates can do.

It seems like a true community there -- regulars and lots of guys (which means I can get my husband there).

I love it and am excited that every session in my tower package has been so worthwhile and fun to attend!

  • Pros: Pretty sunny space, awesome location, strong and friendly teachers
  • Cons: No shower

Great!!

by gmac223

i went to core pilates for the first time last week and thought it was everything people have been saying. the trainers were excellent at what they do. i am very active and was surprised to discover a whole new group of muscles in my "powerhouse". the staff is helpful matching you with an istructor - they make great suggestions.

the starter kit is a great way to get started.

  • Pros: lots of windows, great instructors
  • Cons: gets busy at night
