Core Culture Pilates SoHo — Local services in New York

I am in town on a work trip and decided to try Core Culture to get some movement in while traveling. The studio is gorgeous, clean and has such a warm and intimate vibe, especially with the classes maxing out at 7 people. I took the Chill + Challenging Flow with Christie and she started by taking requests on areas people wanted to work, which was amazing, but then was also excellent about offering hands-on corrections with consent, helping people adjust their equipment and offering modifications throughout for anyone who needed them.

I’ve been practicing here regularly for basically since they opened so two years and it continues to be a grounding, energizing, and empowering part of my routine. Christie and Nina are not only incredible instructors—they’re also deeply thoughtful owners who have cultivated a truly welcoming and connected community.

Every instructor they bring on shares their same level of expertise, warmth, and intention. The class size always feels semi-private and I love the hands on adjustments everyone provides. The class tempo is consistently spot-on: you leave feeling strong, challenged, and centered—never overwhelmed or burnt out. I can’t recommend it...
