Creative Core Pilates Chelsea — Local services in New York

Creative Core is my favorite pilates studio. The semi-private classes makes it easy for the instructors to be very hands on, especially when it comes to correcting form to ensure you are getting to most out of the workout. Not only are the classes difficult, but very enjoyable. Each instructor has a lot of personality which helps keep my mind distracted if I’m feeling the burn (which is always). Not only are the classes themselves enjoyable and effective, but the owner Kristen is very welcoming, fun, approachable and most importantly flexible. On a number of occasions she has accommodated my schedule changes, avoiding the stress and headache of missing a class. She has even opened up a class slot when one was totally booked so that I could be fit in. I’ve never experienced this level of customer service from a studio, she obviously really cares about her clients! As a bonus her cute little dog may join in on...

This is one of my favorite pilates studios and harder than ALL of the 30 or so studios I have been to in NYC. Kristen tailors the work out for you - ie, guys, you can expect an actual upper body workout while still getting core, legs and glutes done too. The focus on form is matched by her active encouragement to go above and beyond. You can expect an instructor who is wholly present, making sure your form is on point - there are only a max of 4 students per class. She is very tough, but really, isn't that why we are all going to work out in the first place? The space is clean and has great amenities - like a shower and towels for those on their way to the office. Would recommend to anyone looking to up their pilates game and get focused attention not available at other, larger and often pricier studios. Don't forget your...

I am a total newbie to Pilates. If you haven't tried it I highly recommend Creative Core. I have numerous injuries (frozen shoulders, arthritis in my left knee, herniated disc and pinched nerve) and have had numerous surgeries (2 C-sections, stomach surgeries, hysterectomy). I wake up everyday in pain and my core pretty much vanished after all my surgeries. The classes are small which is great because the instructors can keep an eye on your form and make any necessary adjustments. I started the beginning of February and joined for the month. I couldn't even hold a plank and no way could I do a side plank and pike. Here we are in March and now I am able to do it and even lost 8lbs. I can keep going on at how amazing Creative Core is.
