Expert Instructors…
In a Welcoming, Community-Focused Space
CORE is not just another trend-driven group fitness studio. We are a unique, multi-modality movement space offering both group equipment classes and 1:1 instruction in three transformative methods: Classical Pilates, the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, and Redcord Suspension.
Our founder, Jessica Gowen, has 20+ years of experience teaching Pilates and has led studios across the city. She is also a sought-after teacher trainer.
While each method offers distinct benefits, they share common goals: building strength, improving mobility, enhancing balance & posture, and reducing stress. Many of our clients have been practicing for over a decade—and there’s a reason for that.
We meet clients where you are, whether you're seeking a inclusive, community-oriented fitness experience or managing chronic pain or an injury, or navigating major life changes such as pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause. At CORE, we are dedicated to making your journey to a stronger, more balanced, and vital body both positive, empowering and fun.
Our Methods: For Every Body
Classical Pilates, The Gyrotonic Method, and Redcord Suspension
-
Classical Pilates
At CORE, we offer authentic Pilates, a 500+ exercise system executed on spring-based apparatus and floor mats. Our comprehensively-trained instructors use all of the apparatus (not just the Reformer) to provide you with the full Pilates experience, customized for your body.
-
The Gyrotonic Method
This system of weight and pulley-based equipment and floor-based exercise helps you relieve pain, boost athletic performance, and improve overall mobility and strength. It blends elements from yoga, dance, swimming, and tai chi with a focus on the spine and core.
-
Redcord Suspension
Redcord suspension training activates and strengthens deconditioned muscles through simple movements and a process called neuromuscular re-patterning. Using cords, bungees, and slings to both support and challenge you, Redcord offers a versatile, full-body workout.
Whether you want the community of a group class or the focus of a private lesson, we have a format for you.
-
Private Lessons

Our Process
How We Work with Clients
At CORE, we guide you through a personalized process to help you get the most out of your experience with us:
Step 1: Schedule a consultation call with our founder, Jessica, or take our quiz to determine the best format (private, semi private or virtual) for your needs.
Step 2: Book your introductory package, which includes three private or semi-private sessions, or a two-week trial in our virtual studio.
Step 3: After completing your intro package, decide between a membership or a package. Memberships offer standing appointments and our best rates, while packages provide flexibility in scheduling.
Step 4: If you’re taking in-studio sessions, consider adding access to our virtual studio and supplement your practice with homework exercises, live stream and on-demand mat classes, accessible from anywhere.
